So during dinner last night I was able to get my hands on an engineering sample Radeon HD R9 290X. I can't fill in the blacks just yet I am afraid, but during the live session more will become clear. I did however photograph the heck out of it.

So this is the new Titan killer boys and girls. More info will be spread and posted in the hours to come, with embargo's on the real deep specs later in October. Have a peek.

Lol, going by the third picture down, how did that conversation start?

Hilbert: 'Wanna go out for some juice?'

AMD Rep: 'Sure! I'll bring my gfx card.'

I was comparing it to the 1000$ Titan...

I realize that but if the 290x beats Titan and launched at 700$ it would suck for most of us. My point is we as consumers at least need to rid of this insanely high pricing of flagship GPUs that's seemingly turning our way. Next thing you know every flagship will be 600-650$. 650$ for 30% more performance over existing architecture? :puke2:

500-550 is where the line needs to be drawn IMO.

Hate to break it to you, but consumers dont have power over how much something costs.

If theres enough want, then companies will and can put whatever price tag they see fit.

Everything is going up in cost, even our toys.

Which goes back to needing both companies to compete well against each other to keep prices down.

It would be nice to have a third competitor come in honestly.

Hilbert just tell me this, will we be underwhelmed by this card?

I have a feeling we'll be either underwhelmed by performance or overwhelmed by the price. Funny thing is that people will come out cheering if the price is $600 when last gen people were pissed when they charged $550.
