ASUS Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II OC Video Card Review
We've posted our evaluation of the ASUS Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II OC today for your viewing pleasure. If you want a well-built, factory overclocked video card that is also easy on the ears, this review is definitely for you.
On our test bench today is a factory overclocked Radeon R9 290 from ASUS sporting the DirectCU II cooling system. We will compare it to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 to determine which card reins supreme.
