Asus R9 290X Direct CU II OC Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4K)

Batman Arkham Origins moved development away from series creators Rocksteady Studios, and is written by Corey May and Dooma Wendschuh. The game’s main storyline is set five years before that of 2009′s Batman: Arkham Asylum and follows a younger and less refined Batman who has a bounty placed on his head by crime lord Black Mask, drawing eight of the world’s greatest assassins to Gotham City on Christmas Eve. The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Batman’s combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration. Arkham Origins is the first game in the series to feature multiplayer gameplay.

Another strong title for the Nvidia architecture. They have a good 7-13 frames per second advantage over AMD at the top of the chart.

    I love the GPU reviews here, so much information and great buying advice. I like the ASUS cards, they are always built very well, although they tend to be more expensive, than even Sapphire, who aren’t cheap.

  2. Very expensive, I want to see more 290 reviews, not the X versions, they are way out of most peoples price range.

  3. I have always bought ASUS cards – although I must admit not at £500! Quite happy with my 670, still rocking well with modern games.

  4. No stock again 🙁 AMD need to get their act together with their partners. by the time they get a lot of stock of 290’s and 290x’s Nvidia will have their next generation out !

  5. Its an interesting point, triple fan coolers look to be the future for these high end boards. That Palit GTX780ti got me excited, but I just can’t justify £630 on a graphics card.

    I agree though, why no 290 reviews, the X version is just way too expensive. more please.

  6. Could you please update the review with VRM temps? Just scroll down on the sensor tab on GPU-Z. Thanks!

  7. I test my asus 780 Gtx 3G SLI 2 video card and runs it predy good whit 5k ultra samsung TV 65inch and I test it whit my game BF4 125 fps my dream rate ……
