Retailer Newegg let the cat out of the bag for the R9 290X pricing.
Though we still don't have a release date, Newegg has priced
AMD's upcoming Radeon R9 290X at $729.99 before tax. TechPowerUp reports
that an MSI reference design got its own store page with redacted
pricing but that the HTML page for the page revealed the pricing. This
means the high-end R9 200X will likely carry a $699 price tag.
AMD unveiled its new Radeon R9 290X last week in Hawaii, describing
the R9 and R7 series as 'the new GPUs for a new era in graphics.' The
press NDA is scheduled to expire on October 15, just over two weeks from
now. This expiration date was noted on the slides that AMD showed
during a recent press event. Even though it's possible the NDA
expiration date doesn't align with the date when the first cards will be
hitting the market, it's possible AMD would want units available the
same day consumers are reading reviews. Newegg's page doesn't offer any
indication as to when the R9 290X will launch.
