AMD Radeon R9-290 review -
Article - Guide - Review
And then there's the&AMD Radeon R9-290, daddy cools little brotha
Last week we have shown you a review on the R9-290X model of AMDs new impressive flagship graphics cards. This week we will have a look at its little brother, as we review the AMD Radeon R9-290. The new second to best flagship product has been long awaited and anticipated. Where the X model stays in line with the competition's GeForce GTX Titan, the more regular Radeon R9-290 will compete with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 780. Now we have all seen the very competitive pricing from AMD with the X model, 499 EUR incl VAT is roughly what AMD is aiming for. That however might be a hundred EUR too steep for many of you. As such the R9-290 will be the more affordable enthusiast class product. Priced at 399 EUR it is going to command and conquer. Yes these cards are beasts in terms of price, performance and product positioning. This in-depth review will cover the Volcanic Islands GPU architecture, Hawaii for the 290 series, we'll benchmark these cards with FCAT Frametimes, Ultra High Definition and of course we'll check out game performance with the latest games next to power consumption and heat levels as well.&
Before we begin with the new graphics cards the first thing that you guys will need to get used to is the new naming scheme. AMD ended with the Radeon HD 7000 and 8000 series graphics cards in 2013. Logic dictates that AMD would have continued with a series 9000. But hey now, we already have had the Radeon 9000 series many years ago (2003), oh and who doesn't remember the Radeon 9800 Pro right? As such it was time to bring in a new naming scheme, a bit more in line with AMD's APUs. R9 will be high-end and R7 will be mainstream and inevitably R5 being entry level. After that you'll notice products being tagged as 250, 260X, 270X, 280X and the coolest two of them all are the Radeon R9 290 and R290X.
This review will cover the Radeon R9 290, please do check out our 290X review . Both products based on the new Hawaii GPU architecture. The products will get impressive clock frequencies and, much like NVIDIA, boost power, voltage, fan and load limiters. &The R9-290 silicon comes with a truckload of new features like integrated DSPs offering TrueAudio technology. Some keywords as a small appetizer, 6 Billion transistors on a 438 mm2 Die, 512-bit Memory bus with 4 GB - 5.0 Gbps GDDR5 memory, Ultra HD ready, 5.6 TFLOPS of compute performance.&AMD is partnering with EA's Battlefield 4, meaning that for as long as the coupons are available, you will receive Battlefield 4 with the card. That would be a deluxe edition with extra DLC and weapons. AMD also is focusing strongly at gaming in Ultra High Definition (UHD), so this will be a focus in our review as well. Will we be able to play the hottest games at that whopping 8.2 Mpixels&at a
resolution @ 60 Hz.
Now one of the best things I'll disclose immediately as it is a rather big annoucement to make, the AMD Radeon R9 290 will cost 399 USD / 349 EUR (that is 289&+VAT). So yeah dude, head over to the next page where we'll start-up the technology overview first, but not before you have seen at least one AMD Radeon R9-290 though.

被打破的寂静—GM107走下千元神坛&&&&2015年的低端显卡市场将会在一片激烈的价格之战中逐渐升温，很可能将会彻底打破低端显卡市场中寂静的现状。尤其是当发布了Geforce&GTX750Ti以及Geforce&GTX750两款Maxwell首发产品，它们分别用50-75W的超低功耗轻松打破了曾近市场的平衡性。由于它们霸道的功耗比存在，也让低端显卡几乎失去了选择余地。而AMD的R7-260X以及HD7850都逐渐以不占优势的功耗比甘拜下风。&&&&而这一切很可能会随着在R9-370发布而彻底结束，伴随而来的便是Geforce&GTX950的腾空出世。2015年下半年的低端显卡市场很可能会在两款新千元显卡之间战争，而Geforce&GTX750Ti这款Maxwell&GM107芯片的首发产品也会逐渐离开千元显卡市场。改进后的R9-370接替了HD7850的工作—成为了GTX750Ti最大的威胁HD7850新马甲重夺千元王位&&&&面对Geforce&GTX750Ti几乎以低功耗的优势轻松将千元附近市场逐渐拉隆到NVIDIA这边，原本就缺乏功耗比优势的AMD显卡在同一级别产品之中逐渐占据下风，尽管降价之后的R9-270以及R7-260X都没有缓解这一点，AMD仍旧需要一款性能领先对手的同时还能以不太高的功耗，并兼备价位优势的新产品才能匹敌对手。在这样的需求之下，R7-370这款重新出炉的产品登陆了显卡市场。&&&&作为Radeon&HD7850的新款马甲显卡，R9-370配备了Trinidad&PRO芯片，它源自R7&265/HD&7850的Pitcairn&Pro核心，GCN&1.0架构，拥有16个计算单元、1024个流处理器、64个纹理单元和32个光栅单元，配备/&256-bit显存，核心和显存频率分别是975/1400MHz，同样高于HD&7850，相反TDP更低，只有110W，因此改进之后的R9-370仅仅需要一个6Pin供电即可满足需求。R9-370对比GTX750Ti具备更突出的同价位性能优势&&&&对比之前的HD7850不仅略微降低功耗，还节省了一个6PIN的供电接口。同时核心频率也从HD7850原本的860MHz提高到了980MHz，显存频率更是从5000MHz提高到了5600MHz。同时还加入了4GB显存容量的非公版本，R9-370的出现毫无疑问将会以更高频率以及更精简化的供电需求代替HD7850，成为了压迫Geforce&GTX750Ti的有利竞争者。它虽然具备比对手更高40W的功耗，但也得到了更强对手2成水平的图形性能。这将会给偏向性能需求的消费者在千元价位更多选择空间。GM206芯片新杀手？Geforce&GTX950蓄势待发&&&&R9-370的出现无疑是让Geforce&GTX750Ti离开千元神坛的信号灯，由于R9-370偏向性能的巨大优势，让Geforce&GTX750Ti以及HD7850都失去大量竞争力。但NVIDIA也准备了它们更有力的杀手锏。前两天，采用第二代麦克斯韦架构的GTX&950首度曝光。&&&&外媒VideoCardz给出消息称，他们已经确认，NV正在准备的新卡就是Geforce&GTX950。它将会配备与Geforce&GTX960相同的GM206核心，其核心代号为“GM206-250”对比GTX960的“GM206-300”将会有一定程度的删减，区别在于流处理器的数量和主频，位宽都会是。&&&&除此之外，VideoCardz称，GTX&950将会有2GB和4GB&两种显存规格，WCCFTech补充说，4GB的版本还支持SLi。不仅如此，Geforce&GTX950非公版显卡将可能具备接近R9-270以及HD7870的性能，甚至其性能更是要高于R9-370和GTX660。同时外媒体也给出了它上市价格将会是150美元的说法，这样的价格完全在国内为999元的千元价位。我们可以确定Geforce&GTX950将会是没出生就剑指R9-370了。Geforce&GTX950搭载GM206-250&A1芯片&&&&R9-370以及Geforce&GTX950两款产品分别具备比上一代产品更强大的性能，R9-370的出现让千元价位显卡的性能在度提高，也让Geforce&GTX750Ti成为了千元以下更低价位的优秀产品。也更是让更有潜力的Geforce&GTX950代替了原本的位置。由于AMD发布新产品的推动，让消费者在千元市场之中有了更高性能的同价位选择。
