I've heard lots of bad reviews about the R9 290x in general. This card is only $330 I found a second hand 290x. And the tri-x non X new is $429?

Driver issues, Cooling isn't quite up to par and Crossfire isn't all that reliable, Are these the reviews you see? For every bad review I see 4 good ones, which is typical for all GPU's. I picked up both a R7 260X and a R9 280X used and the only annoyance is driver issues in a few games. I don't see R9 290X's being much different in that regard. If your just running one Card within a decent resolution I don't see you having issues, that's a hell of a card for $330 range.
