There is no word on a release of a MSI lightning R9 290.

Sapphire Vapor X R9 290.

Is it better than gtx 770 how large is the difference between performance and does r9 290 have driver issues and does it crossfire well. Thanks

The R9 290 is on the level of of a GTX 780. It is a faster card than the GTX 770.
There are no "driver" issues and both AMD and Nvidia have both equally good drivers.
Yes you can crossfire. The nice thing with the R9 290 is that you don't need a crossfire bridge since it is done through the PCIE.
