That's of course if these cards do live up to the hype and are 780/780Ti beaters.

And if not the MSI 290 will do me just fine currently at £251

Hoping the price is not too bad... have held of upgrading my old 7970.. was about to buy the R9 290X yesterday but told to wait...

Is this time frame for real? 10 mins to go?

I'm sure those countdowns can be created by anyone.

A mod at OCN put it up, apparently it's the countdown to NDA end, not the launch..

Hopefully that means reviews today?

Gregster · 18 Sep 2014 at 14:58

Boom, if that NDA lift is correct and we do see reviews, start a new thread please

Won't this upset the other camp? I already see people complaining their threads are being merged.

Life goes on...

Wasn't actually interested in this new line up of cards but now i'm a little intrigued. Roll on tomorrow.

I placed an order with OCUK this morning for an i7, Gigabyte z97 and a 290 VaporX but my account manager said no and told me to speak to him tomorrow!

I appreciated this was from the goodness of his heart but the wait is killing me.

So the countdown was nothing then, thought as much.

If it was for the NDA lift, reviews would have been posted at 3pm on the dot.

Ti with boost to 928 core, nothing special.
