— AMD makes gra­phics lea­der­ship power move with AMD Rade­on R9 290X GPU, the king of the Rade­on R9 Series gra­phics cards, new GPUs for a new era in gam­ing —

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Oct. 24, 2013 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today laun­ched the AMD Rade­on™ R9 290X gra­phics card, intro­du­cing the ulti­ma­te GPU for a new era in PC gam­ing. As the top AMD Rade­on™ R9 Series gra­phics card, the AMD Rade­on™ R9 290X GPU deli­vers breath­ta­king per­for­mance while pushing the boun­da­ries of audio and visu­al rea­lism for gamers who demand the best.

“As the pin­na­cle of our new AMD Rade­on R9 Series gra­phics cards, the AMD Rade­on R9 290X GPU embo­dies AMD’s lea­der­ship as the ulti­ma­te gra­phics solu­ti­on for an excep­tio­nal gam­ing expe­ri­ence, affir­ming that Rade­on™ is gam­ing,” said Matt Skyn­ner, gene­ral mana­ger and cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent, AMD Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit. “The for­mi­da­ble com­bi­na­ti­on of Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re, Man­t­le and AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy rai­ses the bar for breath­ta­king audio and gra­phics, and powerful per­for­mance, giving enthu­si­asts an unpre­ce­den­ted gam­ing experience.”

With AMD’s award-win­ning Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re at its core, the AMD Rade­on R9 290X gra­phics cards have an unri­va­led advan­ta­ge with Man­t­le, an indus­try-chan­ging tech­no­lo­gy deve­lo­ped by AMD[i]. With Man­t­le, top game deve­lo­pers can harness the GCN-powered archi­tec­tu­re found in both PCs and con­so­les, empowe­ring them to speak the nati­ve lan­guage of the GPU core and bene­fit from an incom­pa­ra­ble level of hard­ware opti­miza­ti­on that unlocks revo­lu­tio­na­ry per­for­mance and image quality.

Equip­ped with the new AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy and made for ultra reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing, the AMD Rade­on R9 290X GPU crea­tes today’s most immersi­ve PC gam­ing expe­ri­ence[ii].

AMD TrueAu­dio tech­no­lo­gy brings a heigh­ten­ed level of revo­lu­tio­na­ry audio immersi­on, sur­roun­ding gamers with rea­li­stic audio envi­ron­ments through ste­reo head­sets and spea­k­ers. Armed with a dedi­ca­ted audio pro­ces­sor in the GPU, the AMD Rade­on R9 290X gra­phics card will deli­ver a richer and deep­ly immersi­ve sound­scape, inclu­ding true to life echo­es, con­vo­lu­ti­on reverbs and incre­di­bly rea­li­stic sound­ing environments.

Made to per­form for UltraHD (4K)[iii] and AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty tech­no­lo­gy[iv], the AMD Rade­on™ R9 290X GPU ele­va­tes visu­al expe­ri­en­ces on cur­rent and upco­ming PC titles with supe­ri­or image qua­li­ty and expan­si­ve, eye-ope­ning displays.

Out­stan­ding fea­tures of the AMD Rade­on R9 290X gra­phics cards include:

·         2,816 stream pro­ces­sing units

·         Up to 1 GHz engi­ne clock

·         4GB GDDR5 memory

·         Up to 5.0Gbps memo­ry clock speed

·         320GB/s memo­ry band­width (maxi­mum)

·         5.6 TFLOPS Sin­gle Pre­cis­i­on com­pu­te power

·         API sup­port for DirectX® 11.2, OpenGL 4.3 and Mantle

The AMD Rade­on R9 290X gra­phics cards are available on Oct. 24, 2013 at a start­ing pri­ce of $549 USD and €399 (exclu­ding VAT)[v].
