Review: AMD Sapphire Tri-X R9 290

October 6, 2014 by Christopher Kysse

Gameranx takes the AMD Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 graphics card out for a spin.

Benchmarks – 3DMark’s Fire Strike

3DMark’s Fire Strike benchmark is a demanding set of tests for high-performance setups. It features advanced lighting, particle effects, and highly detailed environments and character models. It pushes even the very latest video cards hard. 

MSI Lightning GeForce GTX 680

3DMark Fire Strike Score: 7003

Graphics Score: 7925

Physics Score: 10359

Combined Score: 2971

Sapphire Tri-X OC R9 290

Score: 8983

Graphics Score: 10407

Physics Score: 10090

Combined Score: 4101

The GTX 680 compared better than 78% of other results. But the R9 290 compared better than 89% of other results, coming right up to the coattails of 3DMark Fire Strike’s reference high-end system (NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan and Intel Core i7-4770K) score of 9131.
