Gigabyte WINDFORCE Radeon R9 290

Built on the Radeon R9 290, this card carries 4GB of GDDR6 memory. At 294mm long it fits most mid-tower cases; display outputs: HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1. Clocks run from 1040 up to 1040 boost, drawing 150W — even modest power supplies handle it. 4GB of VRAM is tight for modern AAA games — best suited to esports.

Its $199.00 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest graphics card deals from multiple stores.
