Posted January 15, 2014 WHY?!?! I'll never be able to get a 290 at a reasonable price at this rate. As someone who was looking to get one of these when after market coolers became available, I've gotta say, team green is looking more enticing. Does this mean the 780 is now the price to performance card of choice? Has AMD had anything to say regarding pricing way over MAP due to GPU miners?

Posted January 15, 2014 haa! That's great. I got a 780, and It's alright.. not worth 50 damn dollars, but it dose get 60+FPS in everything I play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2014 I see this as very good news. It lets me know we are getting ready for a bubble burst. Based on a 1 year chart of bitcoin. It's in a Symmetrical triangle. If it breaks below there will be a lot of selling. Also based on a Fibonacci on bitcoin no solid support till 714.00. Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

Posted January 15, 2014 I almost considered AMD cards, too. I figured mining is irrelevant to me as I'd have started far too late, so I'm really only looking at the 780/780 Ti. if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Posted January 15, 2014 Eh, can you blame Newegg? I mean it is smart to cash in on the bitcoin craze while they can, good marketing department, knows what is going on...I mean it sucks for trying to get a 280x or 290/x but I get why they are doing it @syrazpc - for all my rambles about PC's -- My Gallifreyan Build In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 17, 2014 Don't be too upset by this. If you really want one of these cards, there are/will be tons of them on the secondary market for cheap. I'm starting to see a lot of them on craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 17, 2014 Newegg does not set the prices guy, it's an American company and most prices are dictated by supply and damand Price goes up Becuase supply is the same but the damand is up. Price goes down if damand is the same but they have a buttload of supply.
