For the guys who can buy stuff in the US... check this out:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127787One of the best, if not the best 290X you can buy is yours for less than 300 USD (350 USD if you can't use the gift card and the prepaid card).
Too bad we won't be able to enjoy such deals...
Another deal we won't be able to enjoy...
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...6844&CatId=7387If you include all rebates, you can buy the R9 290 Tri-X for 234 USD (should you live in the US).

Mind = blown
Sucks that the prices here doesn't go really low.
Could be casing,could be liquid cooler for a GPU. Curious.

Which is kinda unfortunate, really.
We need more price wars in our local GPU market, however our distributor seems to do nothing at all. I really don't want to see our GPU market is 'berat sebelah'.
Though jacking up prices is our distributor's specialty...

Well,i hope it's not because of their mind only thinking of $$$..That after rebates $234 deal on the 290 Tri-X is about RM818 here..while the price for that is RM1149 AFAIK.
I agree with the jacking up in prices...like what they did to Asus Strix GTX970..

i think, if all the distributors "agreed" to jack up prices (price fixing comes to mind?) for the GPUs, then ALL GPUs will have increase in price whether it is due to whatever reasons...
seeing as the prices of GPUs nowadays just makes me that more reluctant to buy even when GST is approaching....

SSD prices as well...
Especially our local pricing of Crucial's MX100 512GB is far more expensive when compared to US pricing.
Use br1m money buy lah. 4 once i must applaud jib kor 4 that larh.
