Personally I think AMD will have NV by the balls if the 290 hits the right price spot & clocks well.

780 prices are good, especially the Phantom. 770s are still over priced though, £30 more with a basic cooler compared to the MSI 280x isn't great.
Nah mate they don't need to switch the heating on over winter so they've saved at least £100 there which makes their card price/performance king.
AMD's not going to be happy! Maybe the 290X is going to receive a very prompt price cut...
Which will make them look laughable dropping prices not even a week after release.
nvidia have them on puppet strings.
If Nvidia drop the 780 to £400 then AMD will have to drop prices on their launch card.
The 290X has fastest raw out of the box performance but has sacrificed to much to get there. Heat / Noise / Temps / Power use. A price drop to £400 of the GTX 780 and AMD would struggle to sell the 290X at it's RRP imho.
Will be interesting to see how many 780s OcUK sell around 2PM today, maybe Gibbo will tell us .
