Well, we need some distraction from...you know...290 nowhere to be seen yet.The hell is this?! THIS IS NVIDIA!
I WANT 290X!!!!!
If any news from Nvidia is gonna lower the 290s' launch prices, then that's thumbs-up from me...as I'm intending on buying one.
It needs to be seen asap, and be amaze bawls!
Otherwise I'm sure all you're here from AMD is constant "oh oh oh, oh no, oh , no, no no"

I am going to guess:
290 (non X) £400 - £430 with performance just shy of 780, maybe ~5-10%
290X £450-£525 (depending on manufacturer premiums) ~10% quicker than 780
Nothing earth shattering until 20nm next year, but still some very powerful cards.

Not that i know of.
The message I get from Gibbo's post is the 290x at £400-450.

And if that is the case, that's still a lot of money but that's the sort of level I can accept a high-end AMD GPU.
Anything above that gets a bit ridiculous.

Hmmm where does that leave the price bracket of the non-X 290 then?
£300-£350
Assuming my performance estimations are reasonably close (and I have no real reason to
) then the 290 at that price would be VERY good value!

When is 20nm likely to appear? H2 '14?

Yip, £450 is what I would like the high end ceiling to sit at. Which still leaves the upper high end, things like the Titan and the Asus Mars range etc. available to those that absolutely MUST have the latest and greatest at a premium price point of upwards of £500.

From what I read TSMC wont be ready to mass produce until June '14, so yeah would look like late Summer next year at the earliest I would think.

I wonder if AMD is playing it like...deliberately not make the pricing of their new cards available, thus Nvidia not dropping the pricing on their GTX780, then launch their new cards at lower price point than everyone expect them to, and the cards would be flying off the shelf faster than Nvidia can react in cutting price 
Ah well, one could hope.
