Finally some concrete information about the launch date came from a leaked slides.

This post will be quite short, don’t expect any final specifications to be shown here. The most reliable specs came from Softpedia right afer GPU14 event, and this is what is considered to be the most valid information available at the moment.

Moving on to launch date. In few days you will be able to pre-order a R9 290X bundle with Battlefield 4.

Wait, if I'm reading that article right (which I'm probably not), people will be able to pre-order the card before official specs are released? 0.o

Me: Yeah I just really can't get my H220 working again, I've tried everything that was suggested in the forum.

Brian (Swiftech Support): Hmm, have you tried slapping it?

Oh didn't read about the removal of the crossfire bridge. That'll be neat.
