Sapphire R9 290 4GB Gaming Card

The Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Battlefield 4 Edition is a graphics card built for high-resolution PC gaming. It uses the AMD Hawaii GPU with 2560 stream processors and a 947MHz core clock. The 4GB GDDR5 frame buffer runs on a 512-bit bus at 5000MHz effective speed. It targets enthusiasts who want strong 1440p or multi-monitor performance.

PCIe 3.0 Dual-Slot Cooler & Connectivity

The card occupies two expansion slots and draws up to 250W through PCIe 3.0 power connectors. A custom dual-fan cooler exhausts heat into the case, so chassis airflow matters. Video outputs comprise two DVI-D ports, one HDMI port and one DisplayPort 1.2 connector. This layout drives up to four displays in an Eyefinity surround setup without adapters.

Hawaii Architecture Upgrade Path

Moving from a 2GB mid-range card to this 4GB Hawaii design removes VRAM limits in modern titles and enables higher texture settings. The 512-bit memory bus feeds the 2560 processors without the bottlenecks seen on narrower 256-bit designs. CrossFireX bridge-free scaling lets owners add a second card later for 4K workloads. The jump is worth it when 2GB buffers stutter at ultra detail.

Questions about this item

Will my power supply handle the 250W thermal design power of this card?

The card has a thermal design power of 250W, so your power supply must provide sufficient wattage and the required PCIe power connectors for stable operation.

Can I connect multiple monitors using the available video outputs?

Yes, the card provides two DVI-D ports, one HDMI port and one DisplayPort, and Eyefinity support allows you to drive several displays simultaneously.

Does this card support multi-GPU scaling without an external bridge?

CrossFireX support is built in and works with up to four cards using the PCI Express 3.0 interface, so no separate interconnect bridge is needed.
