Conclusion
This is a tough one. The card has gotten quite cheap recently due to the imminent release of the 300 series and this has made it a really nice deal for those looking to upgrade to a newer GPU without spending a great deal of cash but on the other hand it’s not exactly the newest card on the market, bang for buck it’s a good deal and with over a year’s worth of drivers behind it this card is aging very gracefully and still capable of powering through the latest games and still getting good fps.
I’d like to send a big thank you to the folks over at AMD for supplying me with the 290x to review.
