Battlefield 4 Premium is about 100$/€ maybe more, depens where you buy. So I guess only card will be around 700-650?

Damn, GPUs are getting pretty expensive. Wasn´t the top card supposed to be 500 bucks? Did i time travel the last 5 years? :3eyes:

Its preorder what did you expect? 😉
It was the same with 780GTX @ 800€, now its 530€.

agreed, they definitely did something different this time around if they think they can get away with this price point. especially for a pre-order.
Lets just hope they aren't treating their mantle performance and the reason why this GPU is better than nvidia's. While I respect AMD for trying to find more efficient ways of doing things, I don't like that they often price things based on a handful of benchmarks.

Ya iv waited this long to get a new video card.. I said id never spend over 600 for one.. I guess im willing to go 650 for a DCII but not going to spend more then that... I see there are some good deals on 7970 DCII's 289.99 could get 2 of them.. lol. and a 3rd after they drop past 200... But me no want old ****.:bang:

Do you really have a need to replace a 6950 right now? I figured what you have is still more than good enough for most games, especially considering the drivers ought to be pretty polished at this point. I personally have 2 HD5750s, which is worse than what you have, and they do a good job so far.

Actually, looks like a poster on [H] found this one, that post predates the news :

Wow that's costly. I was under the assumption these we're going for ~$450. I wanted to pick one up because the price would be down to earth.
k3vst3r
too expensive for graphics card, think i'll hang on to my 7950's
Undying
That was false assumption... How can a card like this be only 450$? That's just not what people expected.
650$ would be really nice, i hope we will see some reduction soon enough.

well americans and canadians are spoiled specially if you think this is costly
this cost 1570 dollars in sweden so you should just be happy

The price should drop within a month or so after release, especially if you can find it without the BF4 bundle. Still way out of my league though. lol

The pre-order prices are probably the only ones that are sky high, id lmfao if when the normal cards start getting in, they are about £100+ less 😀

When you get one,I would sure like to hear all about it and if in fact it's faster than Titan.

I won't pre-order jack squat until official specs are released...

Um, ya i really do.. BF3 at 1680x1050 with everything on "high" is getting 80fps max while dipping into the high 40's (in gulf of oman).. Im moving up to a ultrawide 29" monitor in afew months... There is no way a 6950 would be able to handle that... With BF4 just around the corner I want to make sure I dont have dips under 60fps.. I could get by with 2 7970's but 1 290x for now should work and get a 2nd when they drop to the 350~400 range.
Texter
$600+ pricing would be ultimate consumer trolling: first commenting that AMD does not believe in Titan price tags, and then pricing the 290X OVER the stock 780 according to projected performance levels.
