Most Critical Review

The card series is unstable

HIS Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card H290F4GD
HIS Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card H290F4GD

Pros: Fast, sleek, more power than most of us really need.

Cons: Enormous, runs extremely hot stock (requires post-installation configuring inside AMD control panel to manage temps), driver/hardware are unstable and randomly bluescreen when performing seemingly mundane tasks such as rendering a flash plugin or a youtube video. From my research, the entire line of R9 280, 290, and 290x cards are prone to this problem. AMD is seemingly aware of the issue and have yet to produce a legitimate fix for it. Users have been tinkering away with this problem for months and have not found a suitable fix.

Overall Review: The card is nice, but it's far too costly to be having these sorts of problems. I gave it two eggs because it has a lot of potential. That being said, I would not have bought it if I knew AMD was not going to be upfront with a lot of these issues and if fixes were not available. I hope they can get on it soon, but I will likely be returning mine if possible and I won't be recommending the product to anyone else. NOTE: This is not an isolated problem. It appears that MANY people have this problem and it won't take but a Google search to discover that fact. Be very careful before making this purchase!

Pros: The monitor works great. Good crisp image, great screen size. I've had absolutely no problems with it thus far!

Cons: I could have sworn it had built in speakers, I was unhappy when I realized it didn't! Though I accept that is likely my fault. D:

Overall Review: Worth it.
