Radeon R9 290X sold out in hours

Fastest selling card in recent history

A major US-based etailer has informed us that the new Radeon R9 290X sold out quite fast. In fact, they said that it sold a lot faster than any card in recent history and this happened on the launch day, in a matter of hours. AMD shipped a few thousand cards to US etailers and retailers and from what we can tell they sold them practically instantly. Some major player expects to get larger batches of cards this week but the demand is overwhelming and they will probably sell out just as fast.

This is good news for AMD, as it looks like the company finally woke up form long period of hibernation in graphics space and got a lot of attention. Reviewers were not huge fans of άber mode, but it is interesting that the marketing is more forgiving to AMD than it was to Nvidia with its NV30 leaf blower fan.

AMD at least has a quiet mode for the average Joe and has an option to pump more frames at the expense of a lot of extra heat and noise.

People who got up early enough and got some of the cards are now selling them on eBay for $600 to $700, depending on level of eBayer seller greediness. Some even want $899 but we believe that they are pushing their luck.

Most of the cards listed on eBay are Battlefield 4 editions and you can see them listed here.

As for Europe, getting an R9 290X today is next to impossible. Hundreds of shops have them listed for as little as €460, but only seven shops actually have product in stock – and they’re charging a premium, so prices range from about €570 to €594.

Κ'απου στον χαμό είχα ξαναρωτήσει χωρίς να πάρω απάντηση...

Ένας 2600κ στα 4.6ghz είναι "λίγος" για μια τέτοια κάρτα?

Δεν ξέρω αν στέλνουν Ελλάδα αλλά 511€ είναι καλή τιμή:

VTX3D Radeon 4GB 290X X Edition inc Battlefiend 4 Game - 4GBD5-MDHXG - Scan.co.uk

Επειδη μενω Αγγλια (Southampton) δυστυχως το scan δεν στελνει Ελλαδα απ οσο μου ειχανε πει πριν 3-4 μηνες. Δεν ξερω αν εχει αλλαξει κατι πλεον. Παντως εγω που παραγγελνω παρα πολυ συχνα απο scan λογω κατι τρελων προσφορων που βγαζει μπορω να πω οτι ειναι ενα ακρως ελκυστικο site και ο,τι εχω παραγγειλει απο εκει ητανε μια χαρα και οι παραγγελειες παντα στην ωρα τους χωρις κανενα προβλημα :) :smoke::smoke:

AMD Radeon R9-290X review - Graphics card Thermal Imaging Temperature measurements

"...M1 indicates the GPU die measured from the backside. 94.6 Degrees C, that is 100% on par with what the temperature probes tell us. You'll notice that the VRM zone slightly left from the M2 position is running 70 degrees C, I honestly expected worse so that is not too bad."

Δηλαδη μεσα στο κουτι....

When we position the thermal camera outwards we can see that despite what we all say and thing about the cooler, it is NOT exhausting hot air inside the PC. The hottest point is the actual exhaust and at the top of the card there is some residual PCB heat detected. Overall I am not disappointed. Yes the card runs hot, but does seem to manage the heat pretty well.

Άντε η 780 έπεσε κάτω από τα 500€ ΚΑΙ στην Ελλάδα. Καλές αγορές.
