Early today I made a comparison of the R9 290 and the GTX 780 running at the same core clock speeds. The GTX 780 had the clear advantage in that test, I have decided to redo that test but this time add my usual overclock to see if this would claw back any performance that was lost. See how the R9 290 does when it has a few more hairs on it's chest. Please not due to AMD not having an efficient recording program such as Shadow play, the AMD R9 290 loses around 3fps.
