AMD R9 290x and 290 prices shown

dom99 · Oct 8, 2013

Hi,

Just seen this post on VideoCardz.com stating the AMD r9 290x to be 649EUR and the 290 to be 519EUR. This seems a little high to me but thought I would post for you guys

I've definitely got my eye on the 290 version but just not sure, have to wait for reviews to find out. Incidentally, on the TPU page for the 290X card it states a release date of the 11th October, do you know if this is correct?

from the TPU site. it states:

This graphics card is not released yet.
Data on this page may change in the future.

VideoCardz.com is speculative at best. The price could be correct though... but maybe not.

Now that is promising.

Especially considering BLT likes to overprice a bit for pre-sales.

Yes it does, for Nvidia price drop on the 780 and Titan
