At GPU 14 in Hawaii (we're so jealous!), AMD announced some of the specs of its latest high-end graphics card the R9 290X. It features 4GB of memory on a 512-bit bus with a total memory bandwidth of over 300GB/sec! It also features AMD's new TrueAudio DSP technology and has support for the latest DirectX 11.2. Pre-orders will go up in early October, so get in quick!
As you'd expect, you can buy ASUS branded R9 290X when they launch soon. While at first these will follow the designs above, later on expect redesigned versions with improved cooling from an ASUS DirectCU II cooler and long-life, high-power hardware VRM replacements from ASUS Super Alloy technology.
