Don't know why all the old cards havent reduce price yet lol. But for gigabyte r9 280x to be at $449 is a no brainer thing to get it also.

Add in the 3 year or more warranty. See whether worth or not.

Looking at the trend over the years, the massive discount will usually come around 3-5 months after new gen card hard launch.

powercolor is 3 years if I am not mistaken but really glad MSI and Gigabyte are showing good prices

 

[weione]

will the rest follow suit?

wonder how about nvidia cards in sg,
hope the price war begins

 

[royfrosty]

Damn tempted to get the r9 280x gigabyte variant.

But no Roy, no you should be aiming for your own sli. That is where I started and it should end that way!

Bang on. I hope Corbell does a special EOL pricing for the R7970 Lightning Boost Edition for like $399-$459

 

[watzup_ken]

I think the older models come with the Never Settle Bundle, so the prices might still hold for sometime. After all, the game bundles are not available for the newer series.
