AWD Ignis Aqua 290X 250D Mini ITX PC Review

3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading. After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance. Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.

The AWD Ignis Aqua 290X 250D scores well, although we can see the Core i5 4670k lets the overall score a little. We can't help but feel an overclocked Core i7 4770k would have been a better fit for the R9 290X.
