AMD Radeon R9 290 Series specs leaked by Japanese retailer - Graphics - News - HEXUS.net


I guess its really more or less confirm already.. Been alot of rumored leaked about the 2816 SP @ 320GB/s bandwidth..


Yeap it is most likely, now what remain to be seen is the base and boost clock only for the GPU.


Don't get too excited though, this is SG and unless u are a frequent buyer of Amazon, if not expect a SGD 950-1000+ price point for 290X

Am I right local distro? :s8:

Can you please show the link... From what I rmb AMD didnt leaked how much SP there were inside the GPU, it was all speculation, no official word from AMD, except...


Up to 5 teraflop of processing power. There were no words of the bandwidth also... rumor said it was between 1175-1250MHz

290 should be around the performance of GTX 780 and should be around the price range of $399-$449

It depend on the price of 290X and 280X cos 290 will sit right between the gap. If 290X is predicted $599 den 290 will be more of less $449. If surprise us with $499 for its 290X den 290 will be $399. (All price mentioned are in USD)

It was a China website that leaked the spec on 25 sept. Same day as amd officially announced.

that china website even benchmarked it compared to 780 and titan.

most of the benchmark 290x is around 5-10% faster than titan and a few sit in between 780 and titan. well, lets just take it as a grain of salt and wait for the actualy bench loh.

i'm also waiting to get my hand on the 290x have have fun with it~~ hehe.. happy hooting.

I thought amd alrdy said 290x will be under $600?

Only didn't mention anything about 290 pricing.

sometimes its not we dun support local market, but the prices here most of the time are ridiculous sia...

The specs was leaked but it was still considered rumor... Official specs sheet like this weren't released yet until this few days, hence its more or less confirmed...

AMD R9 290X – Inbound and Specs Confirmed - PC & Tech Authority


Anyway pricing at below 600 doesn't meant its 599, it can be 499 and 549, although any sensible marketing profit will tell them to pick the maximum price... In this case...

290X - $599
290 - $449
280X - $299
270X - $199

Heng the pricing is about right. Looking forward to seeing nice heatsinks from the various brands, and hopefully something that can rival asus 760 in terms of size or at least just come close.
