    MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G Now Available

    Most of the time those HUGE HUGE markups aren't actually being sold and fulfilled by Amazon themselves (usually a third party). I do agree with you though that Amazon is always marking up with other e-tailers.

    MSI R9 290 GAMING 4G and R9 290X GAMING 4G Now Available

    So glad I jumped on the $499 290x's from NewEgg when I had the chance... I considered waiting for AIB but at this rate I would have been without cards for 2-3 more months waiting for the prices to drop. Amazon and NewEgg are the primary culprits here, along with Litecoin mining, not AMD...

    I wonder if there are more AMD cards being used to mine than game right now

    I'd be more worried about the piss poor drivers than what the cards were used for... I love my 290x CF performance but I'll be damned if I said I enjoyed the AMD driver experience...

    Help with 290x Crossfire

    ok I think I figured it out.... it's pretty dumb.... I unplugged the known working card from primary pci-e slot and plugged second card into primary pci-e. Booted and no display.... plugged pci-e power connectors from known working card into unknown card and it boots fine. Looks like its a loose...

    R9 290X CF Power Supply Q

    I haven't heard specifically of the sapphire psu but I would research it before you buy it. You don't want to fuck around when it comes to the psu... I opted to go high watts (1250) on a very efficient psu. Would rather have extra watts sitting than not enough/stressing out the psu.

    Litecoin Setup

    Everyone without ASICs is off of mining Bitcoins, although I am sure people are still investing in them. I am in the same boat as you regarding my head hurting from all the reading. If you just want to get something running with Windows while you research pools/other alt coins take a look at...
