R9 390s on Ebay

[waith]

Looks like Best Buy pulled a dumb and started selling 390s early. Anyone buying one?

edit: nevermind, it's the 390 Non-X, makes more sense selling it at that price then.

Who would buy a card in advance that they can pick up in the store tomorrow?

Who would buy a card that's been on sale for 2 years?

Price gouging. Who in there right mind would pay those prices.

People who want higher performance per dollar than what Nvdiia offers.

Here's an idea: buy a 290x for $280 and use a black marker to write "390x" on the sticker -- voila, new card.

No doubt lol. Except the 390 has 8gb RAM I think.

$150 markup for 4GB of RAM that most people won't be using. Those that would use that extra 4GB of RAM will be better served getting a Fury card or a 980 series card.

That $420 price tag for the 390x was upsetting. The Fury prices look to be competitive though. Just need the reviews to tell us how competitive. I'm guessing the nano will be in the mid $400 range which sounds like it would be a much better deal. Sucks that the nano is so far off though.
