Yesterday AMD informed its partners and the press that the AMD Radeon R9 290 non X model of the card will be delayed and it is now scheduled to be released somewhere next week. The reason is that Nvidia lowered its prices massively on the 770 and 780. AMD thinks that with a new driver they can tweak the 290 card a little more.
The new driver should make the card more competitive with the GeForce GTX 780 and it would even be able to beat a Titan in UHD. We'll have to wait and see what is gonna happen.
