dont think a$$-making nvidia wanna cut price...

i think Mantle more useful than G-Sync

as for price drop, Nvidia so fast and nice to drop so much?

luckily my GTX660 still running fine on 1080p which means unless i go bigger reso, high end cards not applicable to me SAVE ME WALLET

nvidia dont wanna cut price then their 780 no need sell much liao only fanboi will buy liao lo?

my 680 also run fine on 1080p but my mon is 120hz so i guess by owning a 290x (sweet price) will give me some more fps!!

i thought some older 120hz/144hz can support gsync but you need to buy the gsync kit.

gsync need 120hz/144hz monitor. 60hz monitor is useless for gysnc.

Nvidia plans to make the technology available two different ways. First, those of you with existing monitors — otherwise known as “everyone” — will be able to upgrade an Asus VG248QE display with a standalone kit. No word on whether everyone who doesn’t own a VG248QE display will be able to upgrade or not, or whether the upgrade will be available on Asus monitors in that family at the 27-inch size.

it's old monitor not Gsync. I just want to know whether its worth to get 290x . Since i want higher frame rate on 1080p.

we poison ppl with poisons that will make ppl wont like to go to green that much since 290x kicking the ass of greens.. hahaha

why many said 290x feels cheap n rushed? well because its usd550 and its cheap! they wanna let the custom-cooling companies do the magic!! but when its in the system n case the card will b upside down.. who the hell can see the so called 'cheap n ugly' design? hahaha

Haha.. newegg start selling d... All reference cooler and start from USD550 to USD580.

R290X RM2299 @ Idealtech

Pure speculation:
R9-290X launch price:
ASUS and Sapphire: RM1899, if not RM2199
MSI & other premium brands: RM2199, if not RM2399

If lower end brands do come in Malaysia, would be good news, has to RM1699 to be attractive.

Limited stock, Malaysia probably getting 250 piece first batch.
400 if lucky.

Distributor will reserve some for retail only store package, like sets of 10/20/50 in different combinations of R-series cards with PSU, then retail bundle with PSU at very competitive price like add RM299 for a RM599 PSU.

Game bundle is yet to be determined.

Soo overpriced....
Are you certain this is the final retail price tag? IINM, Idealtech only announces the pricing this Saturday...
