Could AMD's high-end Radeon R9 290X hit in mid-October?
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.' So when can we expect this new era to start? Well, AMD didn't
actually say. Luckily, we have the rumor mill to keep us warm while we
wait for an official announcement from AMD.
TechPowerUp reports that AMD may have actually revealed the launch
date of the R9 290X at a press event in Turkey. Apparently, 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 its
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. The good news is that we don't have long to wait to
find out, so stay tuned!
