AMD Radeon R9 295X2 to Get Promotional Price, Open to All

At 600-700 I may even be tempted to put up with Eyefinity profiles again.

Theortectically a 295X2 will fit in my 250D (seens some examples of this - although I have no idea on what, if any, case modifications were made) but things might get a little toasty.
 
Guys

I am still working on it, In short AMD will only give us so much, so I am in discussion with a board partner about them putting in $50 and we will go and also put $50 of OcUK money in as well to write our cost down internally to at least try and get the product closer to £700

Working hard on it guy, talking to Far East and USA to make this deal happen!
 
Assuming you can sort something out, how quickly will it translate to a price drop on the site?

Presumably the stock you have was bought at the higher rate so how does that work?

Well it will be pre-order deal, can't do it on current inventory unless I want to loose £100's, so it would be a pre-order product, which could happen as soon as I get the deal I want. Could be 1hr or 10 days!

As soon as confirmed stock will take 2-5 days to arrive. :)
 
Not questioning Gibbo's hard work, but imo thats still pretty steep

Totally appreciate OCUK can only go so far, but even at £700 its nearly worth considering buying seperate cards and w/c yourself. Considering this should be cheaper being done by AMD /board partners......its pretty steap (and as a pre-order only/ one off deal even more expensive)
 
When you factor in what they are now and also space saved vs two cards and the cost of water cooling them then £700 is a very good deal specially with amds new games bundle.
 
Crap, just realized I can't even power the damn thing on 650w.

Might be a good idea to throw in one of those superflower PSU's in the pre-order for an extra hundred.

Not even close, you'd be paying hundreds more to do that. At 700 that's significantly cheaper than 2 separate cards never mind adding in water cooling which is far from cheap on a pair of cards. The 295x2 is faster than two ref cooled cards too, though third party cooled cards can push past it.
 
If you've already got water cooling and only need the blocks then two 290's overclocked well enough would match it, would still be close price wise though.

I agree with you to put it in perspective you can get a fairly decent OCUK gaming PC for £700.

On the other hand which other e-tailer would go to these lengths to try and accommodate ?
