AMD Radeon R9 M290X technical specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started Radeon R9 M290X sales 7 January 2014. This is a GCN architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 4096 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.2 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is MXM Module card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. An additional None power connector is required, and power consumption is at 100 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 21.28 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA TITAN Xp.

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on video card compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus - if the video card is inserted into the slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
