"The leaker claims that his sample could run at 1020 MHz core clock and 1250 MHz memory clock. That would be the peak performance for the new Radeon (we don?t know yet if this is the reference clock). You may think that 1250 MHz clock for the memory is not very high, but that?s due to wider memory bus. This is in fact 5Ghz effectives peed with a bandwidth of 320 GB/s. The Radeon R9 290X will operate at lower clock (something between 800 to 900 MHz), It has dual-BIOS feature for a reason. "

Thanks for the link but I can't find anywhere in the article about the R9 290X was OC vs reference clocked Titan when tested. It does does not make much sense to compare video cards like that.

Also from the link:

Speaking of power consumption, the leaker also posted his results in this field. Supposedly AMD Radeon R9 290X would consume less power than GTX TITAN (357W vs 372W). EDIT: Since we actually found the original source and thus charts, I suggest you take a look at them and see how each card performs.

Nothing about overclock in the charts.
