Earlier this week we told you that AMD would be releasing a limited edition Radeon R9 290X Battlefield 4 video card. AMD Corporate Vice President of the Graphics Business Unit, Matt Skynner, said that limited quantities of the Radeon R9 290X Battlefield 4 Edition card will be available for pre-order only, starting October 3 with select partners.

What we have learned since bringing you that news is that AMD will be releasing a grand total of 8,000 AMD Radeon R9 290X Battlefield 4 Edition cards. This means globally and not just regionally! We also learned that the cards specifications and the final price of the card will not be disclosed when the pre-order begins. This means that you’ll have to put down a deposit without knowing the price or clock speeds of the card that you will be purchasing. This is a very interesting and something we’ve never seen done before in recent times. To top that off only certain Add-In board partners will be offering it.

Looks like the NDA won't be lifted until at least the week after next, then. How frustrating :mad:
 
If its an uber powerful card and blows everything away then its fine doing this but the backlash will be pretty ugly should it be underwhelming. This makes me think its the former and they confident they dont need to release details.
 
They don't say where they got the info from - that the pre-orders won't include any specs or prices.

Unless AMD says that I'd take it as speculation.
 
What? You have to put a deposit down and you wont know what price you are expected to pay in the end? I am sorry but anyone who does that is a fool.

I already mentioned this last week, these PR sites are slow.
But it's true a pre-order with no price, unless AMD decide otherwise.
 
Hmm that's not good, not knowing the final price when placing a deposit, I'm thinking of getting X2 R9 280X's, but my aging 3 way 570's SLI are still running everything in max settings, so maybe I should wait a bit longer.
