TBF a 570 performs as well as a 290x for £158.

Guys there's various economic reasons for high prices

1. The pound is worth way less since Brexit. So we're paying 30% more for US produce today
2. Miners pushed up demand which pushes up the prices
3. Inflation. In the 90s consoles were between £60-£130 although an Amiga computer cost around £300.

And then technological

1. It's years old rehashed card
2. It's newly released so you'd imagine the prices will drop after the early adopters buy it. If someone offers it below £200 in a few months it'll be a great deal and realistically that may happen when the 2060 drops.
3. It could be graphical technology won't progress as quickly now. The next gen from both AMD and Nvidia will be telling. I've seen it theorised that the 20 series is a stop gap because of it's limited progress, we'll see if that's true or not.

RX 570? This GPU isn't even close to a 290 never mind a 290x. Where you getting this information ?
Edit
Wow I might actually be very wrong here googling.
