MaxHaxI totally disagree about the age thing,
Disagree all you want. It doesn't make it less true. The 290x was made to compete with the 780ti and was slightly slower and cheaper at the time. Now the 290x sits in between the 970 and 980 while the 780ti sits close to the 960/970. After the frame time issues, microstuttering, and 3.5gb incident, card killing drivers ruining my 480, lying about async support i will not be purchasing anything else from them for a very long time.
