PowerColor PCS+ 290 is 10% faster than a reference R9 290 which means it = 290X in performance.

The 290X version of this card runs cool and quiet, video in the review link:

You can't apply promo codes to items that have free gifts (eg. the games) attached to it. Otherwise at $210 for a factory oc'd R9 290, it's not a bad deal. Though the reviews are scary. I ended up getting the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X when it was $200AR/AC at TigerDirect.

Another alternative is to use the PayPal $25 off $100 coupon at TigerDirect and buying the MSI R9 290 GAMING card for $225AC.

^ Thanks! I didn't know that. Corrected.

That is arguably one of the best cooled aftermarket 290s made.

Is it 2.5 slots?

So, what's the better deal?

The Sapphire Tri-X at Newegg for $269-$25=$249 AMIR, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814202080. You also get the new Civ game.

or

The MSI Gaming 290 for $225 after $25 Paypal savings, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...?EdpNo=8857306

or

The $210 Powercooler in the OP?

 

[AllWhacked]

You get the Civ game with the all three of them. The TigerDirect item page doesn't mention Beyond Earth, but it's here in this promo page
