Hi! I have a Gigabyte HD 7950 3GB 384 bit graphics card and I was interested in the price drops on the R9 series GPU's. I found a mint condition still in the box with 2 year warranty Sapphire Radeon R9 290X for just 422$ with VAT, that's like half the price of the MSI TwinFrozr one new.Should I sell my current GPU and get it or just wait for it to get cheaper?

Get it now, that looks like a good price. No point waiting as in the future there will probably be something new you would want but to expensive......

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

I just have to sell my GPU for 200$ and get some more money for that though.Might sell my phone and get some cheap phone and sell my GPU and get it
