The R9 290 is supposed to be an amazing card for the price but it's also very loud. That wouldn't bother me much but it might be important to some.

Custom R9 290s are out.

So beautiful.

That is indeed very sexy.  Most reader reviews are still calling the custom models loud, though, seemingly because the card runs very hot.  They're also expensive, with $500 the lowest I see on Newegg.
