I don't think this is posted yet? If it is then sorry and please delete. :)

The official European prices for AMD’s upcoming Radeon R9 290X with and without the Battlefield 4 bundle have been revealed by Sapphire moments before its official launch. Comptoir-Hardware had received the official prices from manufacturer Sapphire who will launch two variants of the Radeon R9 290X graphics card tomorrow.

While all leaks left thinking that the official rate would be around 600 €, the verdict has just fallen: Sapphire has just released pricing for € 519.99 card verson BF4 and € 499.99 for map sold alone. Rates that could even be scaled down from the start, since a famous French retailer had posted its product sheet Sapphire R9 290X BF4 to € 499.95 earlier in the day, before quickly removing it. The cards should be put on sale tomorrow, launch day.

AMD Radeon R9 290X Video Card Review - AMD is launching the Radeon R9 290X today. The R9 290X represents AMD's fastest single-GPU video card ever produced. It is priced to be less expensive than the GeForce GTX 780, but packs a punch on the level of GTX TITAN. We look at performance, the two BIOS mode options, and even some 4K gaming.

This review will be published at 11:01PM CST tonight.

That nv response (780Ti) better not be a 780gtx with OC lol
well what ever it is imo this R9-290X is a better overall product.


Edit: hm, I wonder what R9-290 would cost.. ~ 370-400€ would be nice :D

I guess i'll be sticking with HD7950 till they make a proper new range of cards, not a silly rebrand... Realistically, with HD7950, i already own the R9-280X (because it's highly overclocked). R9-290X offers too little difference for too much money...
