Okay, there is a way to convert an AMD Radeon R9 290 into an X version, maybe. Be forewarned this mod will void your warranty.
The Xbit Labs story - AMD Radeon R9 290 Can Be Easily Transformed into R9 290X – Report [UPDATED] (Link (http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/graphics/display/20131121230059_AMD_Radeon_R9_290_Can_Be_Easily_Tra nsformed_into_R9_290X_Report.html))
I dont want a 290 at all, the DP Power is lessened to 750 from former 1000 with a 7970 or 280x ( which are the same card) .
They started to change the ratio, like Nvidia does for years now. Need to sell some Fire cards I assume.
A good card for Gaming, but bad for crunching.

Is the performance of a 280X and a 7970 the same? Is the 280X just a renamed 7970?
