Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 3x 947MHZ 4GB 5.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Cons:Rien à dire de négatif malgré le fait qu'elle est longue et qu'il peut arriver qu'elle ne rentre pas dans votre boitier d'ordinateur.

Pros:Très bonne carte graphique pour le prix, je l'ai eu à 259.99 au black friday. Elle supporte Far Cry 4 au maximum facilement.
Comment:
Bref, je la recommende à tous le monde qui cherche à jouer aux jeux de nouvelle génération pour un bon prix. Ne vous fiez pas aux autres évaluations, ils ont dû tomber sur des citrons, ma carte fonctionne très bien.

Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 3x 947MHZ 4GB 5.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Cons:Quite Long, almost didn't fit my NZXT S340

Pros:Purely Amazing.
Comment:
Pretty good, maxes out really easily.I got it for 280$ on Black Friday, so am pretty happy about it.If you want to fit this card in the S340, you would have to scratch off the paint of the Inside cover that has the NZXT Logo inside the case so that the PCB can fit.

Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 Windforce 3x 947MHZ 4GB 5.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card
Cons:I bought 1 and had to rma it because weird black squares were appearing randomly.My second one is crashing 1 or 2 times every day, I only play WoW and rather low settings. It used to crash when a lot of stuff were happening (80+ players fighting at the same time) but lately it crashes even when I am doing nothing and I am alone. I reduced the memory cloak to 1050 mhz and it still crashes. I uninstalled the driver and tried a previous version and the beta, still crash.I used to have a gtx 570, everything was really good except for fighting with 80 players at the same time, I had a frame drop  but no crash. It's honestly really frustrating, I just want the card to work well, I don't care about overclocking it, I am thinking to get an Asus or EVGA GTX 970 instead..

Pros:Works really well when it doesn't crash
