R9 M290X benchmark with Phenom 9150e 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at High Quality

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of R9 M290X is simply ridiculous. It is important to know that R9 M290X 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between R9 M290X and AMD Phenom 9150e Quad-Core is going to cause serious bottlenecks in many games and cause severe FPS loss. With current 4096 MB RAM, the R9 M290X can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
