AMD Responds to R9 290 Series Performance Variance

Stefan Mileschin · 6th November 2013, 08:56

AMD has released a statement in regards to performance variances on the new R9 290 series. A driver update is pending. A media outlet has uniquely reported instances of AMD Radeon R9 290X boards purchased in retail that have exhibited an uncharacteristic level of performance variance as compared to press samples issued by AMD. We're working to secure the board(s) in question for further analysis. Boards purchased by other media outlets have not exhibited similar characteristics that we're aware of. In the meantime, we've identified areas where variability can be minimized and are working on a driver update which will minimize this variance. We will provide an update shortly. -AMD
