Radeon R9 R290X To Cost $549 At Launch?

According to the rumor mill, the Radeon R9 290X will retail for just $549 + tax at launch, almost $100 less than the GeForce GTX 780. Hit the forum link for more juicy tidbits. Thanks to tobi54 for the heads up! The Radeon R290X based on AMD's new Hawaii chip and it should be selling later on the 24th in the US in etail and select retailers for $549 + tax, which sounds quite amazing for a card that can run faster than the Geforce GTX 780 and in Uber mode can even outrun the Titan selected games. EU listings point to €649 including VAT, which sounds about right. Its main competitor, the GTX 780, has an MSRP of $649, but Asus has cards listed for as little as $535.
