Like the others, the companies stick to the regular, reference blueprints

Like ASUS and MSI, HIS and Club 3D have added their names to the list of companies that sell AMD Radeon R9 290X Hawaii graphics cards under their own brands.

I won't go into details about the specs, since I’ve already done that. Click on the link above for the full scoop.

What I will reiterate is that the board actually manages to slightly best NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan adapter in benchmarks and game tests, despite having only about half the price.

Which is to say, it sells for $550 / €550 instead of the Titan's $1,000 / €1,000.

Clearly, the 4 GB GDDR5 newcomer is going to amass quite some reputation because of this.

Both HIS and Club 3D have two Radeon R9 290X boards up for sale: a normal board and one bundled with the Battlefield 4 game. The latter needs around $25 / €25 extra cash.
