Pity the 290s suck at MW@H, great for most other projects though .

280X/7970 FTW for MW! (DP power).

Hm, so Bitcoin prices haven't changed much but the demand for cards has suddenly somewhat abated? That's good to see.

Didn't that bitcoin server going bust drop its price some?

The price seems to be back up again.

There seems to be a lot of these cryptocoin things.

The R9 280X prices are now down to ~$360 @ newegg.

This card is similar to the 7970, right?

Yup, pretty much identical. $400 on the Canadian counterpart. Still too much for my taste. Looks like I'm going to have to cherish my 7950 for the time being.
