So I just got my new 290X and ive been playing around with it trying to find a stable OC. I ran 3dmark11 at 1000/1300 just to see what results I would get and the results I got were lower than other people with stock 290s. My card wasn't throttling and the temps were in check. Take a look at my score and tell me what you think.

50mhz on memory is hardly a difference.

it 3D Mark it stresses the GPU like hell, and don't be surprised, the 290 does perform better than the X when Overclocked

Your score looks about right for a single R9 290X, yes, yours is OC'ed, but very, very mildly.....you have your memory clocked just 50mhz higher than stock. That would make hardly any difference. Now, what was your CPU clockspeed? Was it at stock or 4.8ghz like in your sig?

Here's a run at 1160/1350. Does this seem right?
