How does all the power of a GTX 780 for a price tag $100 lower sound to you?  Honestly it might sound a little loud as the reference cooler on the R9 290 can be a little loud at 50% which is the speed you need to be able to keep this card running full out.  As long as you don't mind the sound or are willing to wait for custom air or water cooling solutions there are no negatives about the 290.  Frame pacing makes Crossfire much smoother and it sports the hardware improvements for EyeFinity to improve your experience in 4K and multi-monitor usage.  [H]ard|OCP actually uses the word epic just before giving this card a Gold Award, check out their full review here.

"It is time now to look at AMD's Radeon R9 290. This lower-cost R9 290 series video card packs a punch, not only in performance, but also in price. Watch it compete with the GeForce GTX 780, and win while being priced lower. This is the value you have been waiting for with gaming performance."
