Gotta love this

Was searching around PC Case Gear's website today and found this;

 

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1681&products_id=28829

 

It's the pricing for the new AMD Radeon R9 285.  Now compare it to the AMD Radeon R9 280X which is a more powerful card;

 

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1559&products_id=25326

 

So either someone cocked up the pricing or doesn't know how AMD's GPU lineup works (if so I don't blame them but do you're research)

I pointed this out on another thread yesterday. It should be $100 less than that lol.

My apologies for double posting.  I didn't see your thread when I checked

It wasn't my thread, I posted it in another. Don't worry anyway, the search bar on this forum doesn't work that will anyway.

many people pay more for weaker cards, don't act like it is not normal

780ti and r290x for example.....

this literally makes no sense

 

780Ti is more expensive and more powerful

 

a better example would be 750ti / R9 270X
