AMD's temporary solution to the 970/980.
Price cut for 290 and 290x can already be seen on Newegg/Amazon. You can get the aftermarket 290x for $400 and 290 for $300 now, with Never Settle bundle of course.

Good time to sell your 290s if u're planning to jump ship before the price cut reach our shore.

Yup.

Rm 1k is about rm 300 drop from current prices. This would mean the 280x will be around RM 700 to RM800 range? 

I believe the 280x will be phased out soon to make way for the 285x

290X just edges over GTX 980

Very interesting

hmm  just can't believe there people post on threads/comment on review saying R9 290 series is obsolete...  lolx  with the current price(second hand price)/performance (still trowing punches even towards gtx 970/980)  what more funny see people with GTX 780 post saying R9 290 is Obsolete... eh if r9 290(which eat up gtx 780/titan) what other model gpu is call..? -NIL- ?

Crossfire here I come.

then another 3 month wait for GPU waterblock?

that price is in Euro..    what diferent Nickel and Nickel+Acetal ?

Update : oh never mind i don't think i be goin WC... it Screw up my plan to upgrade my MOBO/Cpu/RAM (goin for Hswell E/DDR4)

Dah cakap beli GPU dulu tak nak dengar. Haha
Everyone knows my GPU block woes.   

Don't curse me please. If another three months I'm gonna hunt you both down haha.

But on retrospect it was worth the wait. 51c max load temps in a 32c fan only room with bad ventilation. Me rike.

And is 1150/1400 good on stock voltages? Don't dare to push more or DirectX will either fail me or straight BSOD.

Too late now, no local distributor have stock for the Vapor-X 290 or 290X. 

i agree, it will be a nightmare if we lose some good company in pc world especially AMD.
but amd looking good for me right now, it just their CPU team aint having enough juice for R&D.
i thinks its better for u to test it first before rambling about something u not sure of. 

hm :/  i kinda a fan for good looking Graphic Action/Rpg/Strategy Game..  check out  AC;Unity  Recommended spec is  wow! CPU: i7 3770 / Gpu GTX 780 or AMD R9 290X(not non X lol) .. why they Equal GTX 780 to R9 290X lolz.. gosh

One last thing about Idealtech: They took my booking for Gainward Phantom 970 a long time ago. Paid the deposit. Means I sealed the deal at an agreed price.

Then they told me: "Bro. Price drop by RM100. So you now pay less than previously agreed. And here's a free mini-HDMI to HDMI cable".

WTF? WHO DOES THAT? WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS ARE THEY RUNNING??????

All hail Idealtech~! Malaysia PC Master Race's vendor of choice!

when u built up ur rig add me on Steam, wah scary meh ?
