So closing the gap between the 290 and the 780 a little more then.

I assume that's with R9 290's costing £350ish just now.
A few weeks ago they were RRPing around £300 mark

That makes me feel better about having to spend £50 to cool my £309 HIS 290...

If they going to be £360 - £390, glad I did not wait now and bought a 7990 instead.

 

[OvEr_KiLL]

Yes, £360 - £390

They can still be had for 308-317 with a fair few stock about (surprisingly with the 280X and 7990 doing a disappearing act) so it's not too bad.

 

[Psychouk]

Yes, £360 - £390

Gibbo any idea on timescale when these will be available?

 

[Buckster]

Yes, £360 - £390

sounds a reasonable price - I'd get one at that price - just need them to come in stock (finally !)

do we know if there is going to be a noticeable lag between 290x and 290 customs ? I'm just concerned that with reviews and user experience saying the 290 is more bang for buck that the 290x will be out first and for quite a time so as to capitalise on more sales at a premium price ?

they all say this year but maybe more of a paper launch for most people
