Think the 290 sold out or got taken down people on overclock.net and pcmasterrace already knew cause the forums were down.

I've been a Prime member for years and have never not had Amazon on my side in a dispute.

 

I honestly don't need them as I currently have 2 7970s in my system but... I had $100 to gamble so why not....

Worse case scenario I have to file a dispute to get my money back....

do you think I could xfire one with my 290x?

 

 

it appears that the R9 series and R7 series are compatible only same series.

Meaning, according to them you cannot crossfire 290x and 290, you cannot crossfire 295X2 and 290X.

inb4 they're burned out mining cards from a year ago.

 

Ok, Looking into it. I'm pretty sure this is a fake store setup to get "pricematching" at real stores and scam them. since alot of people got away with it, with the xbox/wiiu

I can pretty much guarantee it is a scam however, it is low risk so why not...

 

Also, this nice 4k monitor will go with my cards well:
