XFX DD R9 290 - $220 after $30 MIR @ Newegg

[RussianSensation]

That didn't last long. Now $275 after rebate + $20 gift card.

I am seeing $260 after rebate, or $240 after promotional gift card with $3 shipping = $243.

They change the deal every day. I think they raised the base price each day 10 bucks to 20 higher then offered a 20 buck gift card and the mir still. I got it somewhere in the middle no card wish I jumped on first deal dang it.

I was getting weird post bloom and tree ring rainbow on desktop with two separate r9 285 dd xfx from ncix (which has great prices but horrible slow ship and cross ship), on
M4a79t and z97x-ud5h-bk. I like the future possible on the 285 with all those cores and design as opposed to NVidia, plus a reasonable power usage.

But this price was just too good so figured give xfx and these r9 one last try, even if the 290 is a watt guzzler, a comparable NVidia card is 150 bucks more, to get one with that many processors.

anyway hats off all you anadtech guys my occasional decade posts.
