Totally worth it. No you can't unlock to 290x.

Better ask for additional personal warranty though for a week or 2 in case something wrong with the hardware but hard to detect on 1st test.

the catch is only 1 year warranty as told by the seller

for a new R9 290 at this price it's a good buy at least in my opinion
*
rm780 for me no complain as still have 1 yr warranty left !! mine running nicely at 1.1ghz 6ghz mem !! jz the fan abit noisy thou
