AMD R9 290

[Bingbing10]

So I know that they have released and announced other GPUs such as the 290x , but if can't seem to find any information on the 290 (not x version) as I defo know the x version is going to be out of my price range , but everywhere I search I cannot find any information about it ? So can anyone gives me any heads up or is it still in the unknown

Wasn't it like the 13th when AMD will announce the R9 290 series? I think I heard that somewhere.

Anyhow, you just have to wait a little longer.

there was this leaked picture a little while ago but no price or any word whether this is legit

If the 290 is a much lower price I can't see it making much of a difference! The people who have $700 to spend on a GPU arn't looking to save $50 for less performance!

What prices are the 290 meant to be going around for because I was looking for it to be around the 300-350 pound mark since it's meant to be the new 7950 which was this price around launch

Just get a 7970. the 280x that's in that price range is just a rebranded 7970. But 7970's are around £200 on Scan!

It's just I've waited around 4 months for these Gpus and want to make my wait worthwhile

you will have to wait and see although the 290 is like the AMD equivalent of 780 vs Titan by the looks of things performance wise.

Save up and get the 290/290x then! All the other cards are just rebrands I'm afraid

[boggle4321]

so what im getting is... 290=780  290x=titan

i think this is correct

So what prices range would you sti mate the 290 to come out at

[IAcKI]

I'd say between £400-500! 
290x £550

Speculation - Yes!

I think the 290 for the 290x will be like the 780 for the titan:

Same gpu, slightly less performance, much lower price.

Also this would be the third GPU to be actually new, not a rebrand, and support true audio at a more affortable price than  the 290x and with better performance than a 260x.
