PRESS RELEASE
Amsterdam, 6th of November 2014 - It's been a year since the AMD Hawaii cards hit the market. The Radeon R9 290 and 290X reached a new level of performance and were the first cards aimed at gaming in 4K Ultra High Definition resolution.
Club 3D launched PokerSeries versions of the R9 290 and 290X, targeted at gamers who demand the best looks, the highest framerates, the best cooling performance and great value for money.
With the recent price adjustments the Club 3D R9 290(X) royalKing and royalAce versions now offer the highest performance ever at their respective price points.
But we have another Ace up our sleeve, a new member of the highly awarded PokerSeries family. Today we are proud to announce the Club 3D R9 290X 8Gb royalAce, the world's first Single GPU Gaming Card featuring 8192Mb GDDR5 memory. It's OverClocked out of the box for the best performance and packs the latest AMD Graphics Core Next technologies like True Audio, Powertune, XDMA and support for AMD's revolutionary Mantle API. The royalAce is beautifully designed and constructed and is fitted with a triple fan CoolStream cooler and a custom backplate which make it stand out in any serious gaming system.
The 290 X already was the best choice for 4K gaming but the 8Gb version is better prepared for demanding games in the near future. The highly anticipated AAA title Star Citizen for example will be a PC only game and promises to be a true showcase for next level graphics and Ultra Resolution gaming. 8192Mb memory is not just a gimmick, to fully enjoy all the eye candy this and other upcoming titles have to offer, the Club 3D Radeon R9 290X 8Gb royalAce is your weapon of choice. It will be available soon in limited quantities.

- AMD Hawaii GPU featuring 2816 Stream Processors
- 8192Mb GDDR5 memory
- Up to 1030MHz GPU clock
