This graphics card is really the "Hammer". It is faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 900 and GTX 780 for Titan for 480 (see PC Games Hardware 4/14. Each game (Battlefield 3 + 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Tomb Raider, Sim City, Batman. Arkham City, etc.) runs absolutely smoothly. The 1000 MHz core clock keeps the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-OC. It is a little louder than my old Geforce GTX 680 but also to lengths faster and keeps the Chill with a maximum of 74 ° C.
By me for the price an absolute buy recommendation.
