290 gets my vote if it's an aftermarket cooler. 290 is the better card and will be even better going to higher resolutions like 1440p.

290. It has better performance. Make sure you're buying one that doesn't have a stock cooler. It will get very hot.

Build: CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k | CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ares 1600Mhz CL9 | Storage: 120GB Samsung 840 Evo + WD Blue 1TB 64MB Cache + Seagate Barracuda 2TB 64MB Cache | GPU: MSI GTX 960 | Case: Cooler Master Storm Enforcer | Power Supply: EVGA 600B Non-Modular |

290 hell yeah, More powerful, More Vram and Wider bit bus to handle it, it's the obvious Choice, a Gaming MSI or Sapphire TriX

R9 290, it's not even close. Any version but the reference will do nicely.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

It's an ok cooler, that card runs hot so you need a good cooler to avoid throttling.

Definitely 290, UNLESS it's a reference design. If the 290 has an aftermarket cooler, then 290 for sure. Much better performance and can play games at higher resolutions than 1080p.
