AMD Radeon R9 290X Battlefield 4 Edition – Only 8,000 and No Specs For Pre-Order

[humbug]

Well the current dates for release the tech sites are saying is the 8th for the 280/280X and the 15th for the 290/290X. I really hope they don't hold the NDA on the 290X until the 15th!

The thing is it might not even be finalized yet, they could be trying to trip Nvidia up by responding to "leaked rumors"

Simple pre-order... if the price is too high... cancel

The rumour was it'd need a deposit. Not sure where the DSR stands on that one!

The pre-orders may not even happen. Guess we'll know tomorrow.

I'm sure Nvidia already have a 290X being torn apart in their lab.

Maybe they're coming up with their own version of the fixer called 'the way its meant to be destroyed'.

5,000.00 CNY = 506.111 GBP

AFAIK this pre-order bundle doesn't include any extra free SP clusters or VRAM chips so it's no skin off my nose.

dont forget VAT and the British rip off tax

Maybe it's like with the 9590 CPU. You order now, pay a huge amount, and see the price drop during the next month.

Alright, that's normal in business, but..

Hopefully the performance is truly great though.
