Are 280x prices likely to stay high for the foreseeable future?

[Goose]

I've been planning on getting a gfx card in the spring and with a budget of £250 max (preferably less) i haven't really considered anything other than a 280x.

Im just wondering if the mining boom is still going strong and if thats going to keep prices high?

Thanks

280x's are available between £200-£210 (Highest being a Sapphire)

With AMD launching the 280 (7950 rebounded) at £200~£210, I would say if you can find a good 280x for around £220 then you better get one soon, before the 280 push up the prices for 280x.

Ah right, thanks for the advice.

Yeah I was really hoping to get an MSI, Gigabyte or Tri-x Sapphire because ideally i'd like a premium cooler.

Why don't go for a 280 none X? they are so close to the 280X your not going to see the difference.
