Note - Price and Performance for the R9 290x has yet to be determined. However, I think it's safe to assume this will be a top performing card regardless of cost or performance as it relates to the 780 / Titan
Ok, so I moved $1200 over to my checking account from savings.
I'm all ready for 12:01am the 3rd the bang out browser refresh's until these pre-orders pop up on Newegg for the R9 290x. This could take an hour to a good handful of hours until they appear.
Energy drinks - CHECK!
I plan to buy 2 x R9 290x's. The price hasn't been announced but could be $599 or $649 per card.
Also, AMD has partnered up with EA and there will be a very limited edition of 8000 units of a special R9 290x Battlefield 4 bundle. supposedly, the video card will ship first with a voucher to claim BF4 when it launches. It's unclear to me if other vendors will have cards available the 3rd for pre-order. It could just be this bundle. It is also unclear if BF4 will be apart of AMD's new never ever settle bundle for the R9.

Some sites have a reported a Oct 15th release or rather the end date for the R9 NDA to expire which often also means the release of the hardware. This is the assumption of the community / common sense.

Who else is buying???????????? And when?
Note to fanbois and haters, keep the thread constructive. This is about who is buying the card. If you don't plan on buying the card, please, do not shit on everyone elses party with sarcastic speculation. Thank you.
