Asus R9 290X Direct CU II OC Review (1600p, Ultra HD 4K)

To overclock today, we used the dedicated overclocking tools within the latest version of AMD’s Catalyst Control Center.

There is only a little headroom available on the Asus R9 290X Direct CU II, and we found that increasing the power limit settings beyond 10% didn't reap any reward. Our final result was 5% above the out of the box overclock settings, from 1,050mhz to 1,103mhz. The memory is configured very close to the limit.
