Performance

GPU clock speed

758MHz

662MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

GPU turbo

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

947MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

pixel rate

3. 2 GPixel/s

41.7 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

floating-point performance

0.2 TFLOPS

4.85 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

texture rate

6.4 GTexels/s

152 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

GPU memory speed

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

1125MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

shading units

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

texture mapping units (TMUs)

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

render output units (ROPs)

The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

effective memory speed

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

4500MHz

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.

maximum memory bandwidth

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

288GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

VRAM

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.

memory bus width

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

512bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

version of GDDR memory

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

Supports ECC memory

✖AMD Radeon R5

✖AMD Radeon R9 290

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

DirectX version

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenGL version

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenCL version

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

Supports multi-display technology

✖AMD Radeon R5

✔AMD Radeon R9 290

The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.

load GPU temperature

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.

supports ray tracing

✖AMD Radeon R5

✖AMD Radeon R9 290

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.

Supports 3D

✖AMD Radeon R5

✔AMD Radeon R9 290

Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).

supports DLSS

✖AMD Radeon R5

✖AMD Radeon R9 290

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.

PassMark (G3D) result

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

This benchmark measures the graphics performance of a video card. Source: PassMark.

Ports

has an HDMI output

✖AMD Radeon R5

✔AMD Radeon R9 290

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.

HDMI ports

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.

HDMI version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R9 290)

Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.

DisplayPort outputs

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.

DVI outputs

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (AMD Radeon R5)

Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.

Description

AMD started Radeon R9 290 sales on November 5, 2013 at a suggested price of $399. This is a desktop video card based on the GCN 2.0 architecture and 28 nm manufacturing process, primarily aimed at gamers. It has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory at 5 GHz, and coupled with a 512-bit interface, this creates a bandwidth of 320.0 Gb / s. nine0095

In terms of compatibility, this is a two-slot PCIe 3.0 x16 card. The length of the reference version is 275 mm. The connection requires one 6-pin cable and one 8-pin cable, and the power consumption is 275W.

It provides poor performance in tests and games at the level of

20.66%

from the leader, which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

    Passmark

    This is a very common benchmark included in the Passmark PerformanceTest package. He gives the card a thorough evaluation, running four separate tests for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11, and 12 (the latter being done at 4K resolution whenever possible), and a few more tests using DirectCompute.

    3DMark Fire Strike Graphics

    Fire Strike is a DirectX 11 benchmark for gaming PCs. It features two separate tests showing a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature that appears to be made of lava. Using a resolution of 1920×1080, Fire Strike demonstrates fairly realistic graphics and is quite demanding on hardware.
