Yes, it's a rebadged 290 with higher clocks and more vram, just make sure you have a decent power supply to support it.

Idk why it recommends that. A 500W should suffice as long as you dont pair it with a 9590

550W is enough! I am running the MSI R9 390 8G with 6700k and three drives.

XFX are a Chinese company and the after sales are questionable, I would make sure you buy from places like Amazon
I had an XFX PSU lasted 2 years, then went pop, contacted XFX as they have the warranty after the first year, was just told to go back to seller and let them sort it......
Good Job i purchased it from Amazon as they just gave me a full refund, read on some forums that alot of people wasnt as lucky

You are most likely on the edge of that with not much room for overclocking.

Avoid XFX GPU's at all costs, you have been warned!

Agree with this, just for the sake of RMA's. Bought a card for ~£250 a while ago (if memory serves it was a 68XX card) and it would artifact constantly even just during idle on Windows and on Debian, they offered me £90 credit on the xfx store AFTER I sent them the card following them saying they'd repair/replace it after testing. On their store the card I bought was more expensive than the retailer i got it from.
