Motherboard Compatabiity by Calasis Will the r9 290 fit into a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P motherboard and if it doesnt what is the cheapest motherboard that can? Answer by shaund on Tuesday, May 19, 2015

That card will be compatible.

Brilliant, little pricey by CharlieH Great card, much better than the jetplane that is the reference R9 290. I maxed the temps at around 79c playing BF4/FFXIV, which is a terrific improvement. It's fans are only just audible over my case fans while under load, much better considering even my friends on Skype could hear my old 290 prepare for lift-off.



Haven't tried overclocking yet, but I know it's got some headroom now which is great to have. The card itself is a little bit more expensive over other non-ref cards, but the backplate it comes with justified this for me.



Highly recommend this if you're looking for the best non-ref 290 with an inclusive back plate.
