The 290 is faster but runs very hot and loud. If you decide on a 290 wait for the cards with non-reference coolers to get released.

+1 290. just make sure your psu is up to it, and you have plenty of case fans to expel the heat it generates.

The fact that you asked that question means that you only read tomshardware. ONLY tomshardware had that problem. The following sites report no issues of that kind:
HardwareCanucks
AnandTech
[H]ardOCP
Guru3D
TechReport
HardwareSecrets
These are all the "Big Boys" as far as review sites go. It seems that this was an isolated incident. Not even AMD really knows why it happened.

A Tomshardware hater? LOL Dude, check my badges and know that I'm a big contributor to the tomshardware community. And no, all those sites did was say that tomshardware had experienced it. Specifically, HardOCP said that they didn't have the same experience but that it was a possibility to have performance issues if tomshardware did. AMD then released the new BIOS.
