** AMD R290X BF4 EDITION - WE ARE NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS / DEPOSITS!! **

[Gibbo]

I want to Pre-order 2 of these but not knowing if they're £400 or £650 each is stopping me

Deposit is refundable.

If the price turns out to be too high you still have the option to cancel.

I see, Cheers. Is a Corsair TX750(v1) likely to be able to run 2 of these?

hmmmmm I really shouldn't, I cant possibly justify it ..... wanders off to think of new and exciting excuses for the tax man

I plan on getting a 290X but I just ordered BF4 + Premium for £55 which I think is a bit of a bargain... If this deal was the actual 290X price once it's generally released plus BF4 or even BF4 + Premium for free I would be all over this throwing money at anyone who cared

Of topic I realise but where the hell did you find that bf4 deal??

Ask Gibbo nicely for two invoices, on for a R9 290x and another for "Vital Computer Equipmentz"

Nice one Kaap. I had a feeling you would

I don't think they will be as quick as the Titans, but the need for new toys is overwhelming.

Go for it.

I know you can't reveal the price but can you at least say whether the BF4 edition carries a price premium over a vanilla card? And do you have a feel for vanilla card availability at launch?

I am more interested in the card than he game.

I suspect a £15-£20 premium, but can't be 100% sure!

Doing some maths now...

I already have 2x 7950s + I7 3770k and a Sabertooth Z77, so I can't go trifire (actually I already tried, It works but because the 3rd slot is pci-e 2.0 4x the performance increase of the 3rd card is not that good)
I'm gaming at 5760x1080



Option 1:
2x R290X, so let's say £1000.00 - 300.00 (that I can sell my 2x 7950s) I would end up spending £700.00.

Option 2:
Upgrade my CPU, MB, PSU and add one more 7950 = 4930K + 2011MB + 1000W psu + msi 7950 = £1020.00 - £420.00 (from my 3770k, MB and old PSU) I would end up spending £600.00

Option 3:
Wait 20nm

 

[VincentHanna]

I'll hold my hands up to say i've pre-ordered one of these (my first Overclockers order infact)

Main reasons is that it only appears to take up two slots (not triple) like a lot of the 7970's and I haven't upgraded for exactly 3 years when I bought my AMD 6870.

That was £182 though so prices have gone up considerably. It does have 4x the amount of video Ram as my current card though

This would be great for my son's computer. Is it a bit overkill for 1080p though? i7 4770 system.

Yes.

1080P a 7950 / R270XT would be fine.
