CLUB3D R9 290X RoyalAce Superoverclock Review

Grid 2 is the sequel to the racing video game Race Driver: Grid. It was developed and published by Codemasters. The game includes numerous real world locations such as Paris, numerous United States locations, and many more, and also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed ‘TrueFeel’, which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility.

We test at the maximum image quality settings, which are different for both AMD and Nvidia cards. The Nvidia hardware is tested at 16xQCSAA and the AMD hardware is tested at 8f16x EQAA.

The results below therefore are NOT directly comparable. We wanted to show performance from both AMD and NVIDIA solutions in GRID 2 when maximising the image quality settings.

Playable frame rates at Ultra HD 4K, averaging 48 frames per second. The game really does look quite spectacular running at 3,840x 2,160 with 8F16X EQAA.

  1. this is a great looking video card, I wish more makers would use backplates, its the part you look at when the card is installed and so many makers just leave it naked and ugly.

  2. We cant get club3d here, or powercolor. so im limited in my choices.

  3. Terrible Terrance

    I have had a Club3d card for years and they are very well made. They don’t get any exposure, so I was excited to see a review on one of my favourite review sites today. Bit out of my price bracket, but are they getting a UK deal with OCUK or something? no stock anywhere….

  4. Is this a dual slot or triple slot gfx card?.
    Shall I go for this beastly 290X or a 970GTX?.
    I am looking for best bang for buck.
    Thanks.
