In reading Lvcoyote's excellent review of the Visiontek Cryovenom R290 it seems the memory is rated at 1250 Mhz (the same speed as the memory on my old 6950). I can see why the R9 290 series might not need faster, more expensive GDDR5 because of the 512-bit memory bus, but if they did put faster memory on the
R9 290's would it make a difference in performance? Maybe at 8xSSAA or higher?
It there a big price differential between lower speed GDDR5 parts on the R9 290's and the higher speed stuff Nvidia uses on the 780Ti's?
