Anyone notice the price jumped 100$?
NewEgg has them listed at 499 now. I was about to buy one, have the payapl funds ready and everything.
Yea, it's just NE raping everyone due to the demand for AMD cards..Classic example of how shitty their business practices have become.
Seriously time to boycott newegg...

You got it all wrong, we gotta boycott the Litecoins!And every other e-tailer?
I bet the guy who already owns a $399 290 gets the warm fuzzies seeing their card shoot up to $500.no one is going to charge less than they can..
if you think otherwise, you need an econ class.
lol

Is this just on newegg? It might be related to the masterpass promo they are running.
I'm not really sure why sellers putting their cards at any price they want is shady practice. I guess if you argue there is some sort of price fixing going on then that is a different story.

I have an ASUS 290 from newegg to be delivered tomorrow. I ordered on friday between the time when it was still on the search page showing out of stock, and when the price was raised. Was able to get it for $409, so I purchased as quickly as possible, only to get an email about 15 mins later from newegg telling me it was back in stock. Guess I got lucky.
I also was able to order two 7950's for $250 each after MIR right before they spiked up to $400 and now are listed as discontinued.
You may want to try your hand in the stock market at some point in time...
In other news, I'm surprised so many people are picking up reference 290s after reading the reviews on them. Maybe you guys are watercooling them, I'm not sure, but the reference fans just seem to be getting worse. I have a 7970 reference from January of 2012, and even now I kind of wish I had waited for a non reference. It just gets loud when the juice is really going, especially since I don't like my cards getting over 80C.
Not saying it's a bad card, and maybe people are exaggerating the fan issues (I know some people are insanely sensitive to noise), but it's hard for me to mine on my 7970 and fall asleep with a reference fan at 55%, which still only keeps it at 77C or so

$399? Pfft I got two for $379 apiece!
You were lucky! I sold one of my 7950's in a matter of minutes for 300$ the same price i paid for it new. I have another buyer lined up for the 2nd 7950 I have.I have an ASUS 290 from newegg to be delivered tomorrow.

I have been browsing the sites for some cheap 290s. There is no such thing. Anyone not mining should look towards nVidia and maybe get a discounted GTX 780 for 450 bucks or something.
48 XFX 290s at Newegg right now... only $500 each
I only see ASUS 290/290x in-stock.
