Amd radeon r9 290x with 8gb vram on the way
From SweClockers announce that AMD plans to launch on the 6th of November Radeon R9 290X graphics cards with 8GB of VRAM compared to 4GB which are common in current models. These models with 8GB of VRAM will be exclusive to the PowerColor, Sapphire and Club3D assemblers.
Recall that Sapphire already has two R9 290X models equipped with 8GB of graphic memory, specifically the R9 290X Toxic models that were only manufactured in a limited quantity and the R9 290X Vapor-X that is easily accessible.
The new cards will arrive to compete with the GeForce GTX 980, especially in 4K and higher resolutions where AMD offers better performance than Nvidia and the greater amount of memory can help, at least on paper, to increase the advantage. However, most gamers play at 1920 x 1080p resolution or even lower, so Nvidia currently offers them greater performance with less consumption with the GTX 980, that is, at a higher sale price. The new 8GB VRAM cards would be 10% more expensive than the 4GB models.
