How gimped is the ln2 bios?
Trust you going straight in for the mining lol.
Go for more on the core! I'm tempted by one of these
Watch the price rocket as soon as they start selling.
more like price drop
thankfully availability of 290/290x is getting better - so will be a tough market for it
still tempted it one instead of a 780Ti though
The price of 280X and 290's has gone up in the last week or so again, not down.
A bit more and the 280X is getting on for averaging £300, silly money. Its creeping up that way.
Its not about supply, its about demand which is very high, 70% of don't even want them for gaming, most of them just getting stuck into a mining rig.

well price of 290s seems to have dropped a fair amount the last few weeks - for instance the Tri-X was averaging 370-390 2 weeks ago
now averaging more like 340-350
290 stocks are much better, hence our lower prices.
280/280X is incredibly short and were not even giving discount for bulk orders and they still buy them.
It is about supply, it always boils down to supply.
My backorders with board partners is standing at over 5000 cards, if I did not have backorders and could have whatever stock I needed when I want it, we'd hammer the prices down and go for volume.
Right now I can't do that otherwise we'd be sold out.
funny that people are still buying 280x over 290s with the reducing price difference
but the customer is always right - so there you go
Power consumption maybe, but yes we have some 290's at £299, for the gamer they are a right bargain, top card, one is even a custom design.
Prices should be:-
250X - £75-£90
265 - £109
270 - £130
270X - £150
270X 4GB - £169
280 - £179-£199
280X - £219-£259
290 - £319-£359
290X £399-£499
Is where prices should be without shortages etc. Some cards are there, but cards like 280/280X are not, if/when supply improves they will be but the shortages will probably last until around May/June.
