Those look like 290/290x's to me.

The 290x prototypes have the gap and even the soldering points for the connectors.

But the 290/290x cards are supposed to be reference only so they can't be.

Well thank god if they changed the ref cooler, can't stand that tacky red n black with dubious cooling power.

The fact that there were two of em but no CF bridge should have been the giveaway guys

I thought AMD told people not to accept pre-orders?

Or is this pre-orders of unencumbered cards (without BF4)?

JediFragger · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:36

Just rang my CC company to raise my limit and to tell them a very large purchase is incoming

Suggest you all do the same

gpuerrilla · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:40

Gonna be exciting...

imginy · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:42

Can I preorder with paypal or debit card?

Sorry if it's noob question

jkb · 2 Oct 2013 at 21:44

I'm not sure I'm willing to pre order without the price
