Before I drop 300+ quid on an R9 290

Is there any news on the "next generation" of AMDs GPUs?

Don't want to hit order then end up realising I should have waited 2 weeks for the 20nm parts or whatever they are going to be made at :).
 
Sweet, I take it that they ran into some trouble as the only news article I could find with a suggested date was "Second half of 2014", so just wanted to make sure I was not dropping a clanger getting the 290 now, I know these buggers run hot and drink the power.
 
AMD is announcing new Radeon graphics 4th june, could be enhanced 290, or just low power low/mid end graphics, we will see in 2 days
 
You could also go second hand, as much as I hate it the 290s are losing value quickly and you can get a reference card for £200 now, with aftermarket ones at around £235+.

Oh, i didn't know that, you reckon that will drive the retail prices down as well?

Unlikely, retail prices are still higher than they were pre-boom and show no sign of dropping. It's gotten to the point where a new 280/280X basically loses half it's value the second you power it up :(
