Hello,
I'm having trouble finding benchmarks pitting these two cards against each other. Can anyone link me to somewhere I can find this?

I currently have an R9 280X but it has a defect so I need to return it. I was thinking about upgrading my card.

Thanks!

290(non x) is around 20% faster than 280x but dont get the reference cooler version its very very noisy and go very high temperatures. Get the asus one with DCU2 cooler

Non reference models will be released by the end of this month. If u cant wait then there is a GTX770, it performs almost same as 280x just a 2-3% increase in performance but it runs cooler and silent with less power consumption.

Hey,

Overall the best bang for the buck would be the R290, at that price its hard to match the performance. However as others have mentioned make sure you wait for the non reference models, as the stock cooler is loud and runs hot.

Hope this helps!
