XFX R9 290X listed on Norwegian webshop

[Cloudfire777]

Here in Norway a well known shop called "ProShop" have listed the XFX R9 290X. It will cost 5990NOK ($999).
In comparison, on the same webshop the majority of GTX 780 is listed from 4800NOK-5500NOK ($800-$924)

ANOTHER 290X price rumor thread from you?

Good thing that price means absolutely zero to most of us.

I think for the OP it's more fun to scare people with placeholder pricing.

It's a $600 card. Give the forum a break and stop trying to find something obtusely negative wherever you can.

 

[Cloudfire777]

The price seems very plausible.

GTX 780: 5300NOK ($890)
R9 290X: 5900NOK ($990)
GTX Titan: 8000NOK ($1300)

990/1300 = 0.76

$999 x 0.76 = $760.

I`d say R9 290X will be priced on $699. $500-$600 seems way too optimistic considering the performance and the increase in die size.

You guys have it all wrong. Newegg had the 290X listed at 9999$ a week ago or so. That is obviously going to be the price, it's completely plausible. Heck, if it's over 9000 it has to be good.

Ok, I LOLed. +1

Sucks to be Malaysian.

It's 50 cents on the moon. But of course, that's in moon money, and the exchange rates are atrocious.

Lets see, faster than titan, not as hot as the original fear mongers led us to believe, overclocks well, and it's quiet.

All that's left to attack is price. When it comes out at $650 the goal posts will shift to smoothness.

Smoothness reviews will then show that it's on par or better than nvidia. At that point it will go back to the tired old AMD has bad drivers myth. Threads are progressing according to schedule.

As someone already said: Smoothness per watt is the next big thing!

The market will decide.

Guys just get it, especially GPUs are way more expensive outside of US. R9 280X are $350++ here, eg. $350 is the cheapest but goes easily up to $450. 7970 was even more before that. And Norway seems to be even more expensive.

Nv have a special smoothness you know. The kind that is worth billions.

Besides titan is faster in 1080p if you are a little conservative with the quality. And 1080 is the most popular res.

I wanna to play too.

Hmm no g sync so I'm not interested. My next purchase is g sync display.

It must be true then .. webshops never inflate prices

I know right because people that buy these cards want to reduce picture quality

I'm waiting for reviews in comparison to a 120hz display. It was shown at 60hz at the unveiling vs. a 60hz screen. If it's noticeably better than a 120hz display at high FPS then I'm interested.

Also, it doesn't come out for a while either.

It supports light boost with gsync so I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't love it. I haven't been this excited about desktop gaming in several years but this feature has me chomping at the bit. Which goes back to our earlier discussion, Nvidia knows people like me who were looking for the next leap in gaming tech will jump at this and it's nv specific. So that means I'd buy an Nvidia card over AMD if I needed one. Many people will make the same decision. Mark my words.

As for the R290x price I'd guess $599.

Here in Norway a well known shop called "ProShop" have listed the XFX R9 290X. It will cost 5990NOK ($999).

"Today, Sony revealed that PlayStation 4 will cost a staggering R$3,999 in Brazil when it launches this November (R$ is the symbol for the Brazilian Real, that country’s currency). Based on current exchange rates, that’s equivalent to $1,849.85 USD (or £1,355.32, or €1,146.65, or ¥180,894.39)."

Do we honestly need to tell you that using pricing in a foreign country probably has no correlation to the pricing of R9 290X in U.S./Canada and so on? You also cannot take foreign pricing and just apply an FX rate to figure out the USD pricing. That almost never works. :hmm:

 

[Stuka87]

Can we just stop with the pre-release, foreign price trolling? We all know pre-release prices are place holders and are rarely accurate.

Seems like the whole purpose of this thread is to troll AMD users.

Did you purposely cut out the second sentence in his post, where he compares it to the price of the GTX 780 from the same shop?

Seems you did... :hmm:
