Bad comparison
Definitely bad comparision, completely different price range, you can't be more right.

So Titan has about 25% bigger die size and the R9-290X at almost half price is faster in gaming. It's a good question if some units are deactivated or they just did not make the perfect cut.

R9-290X is also trading blows with Titan in compute. (This one is also for tajoh111)

I noticed on other forums most people are way more excited about the R9-290X launch than on this forum.
