Europe has bad tax rates on imported electronics.. we usually pay 1 Euro = 1 Dollar.
It will more likely be $499-549.Originally Posted by BiG StroOnZ
So $689.24 USD. That's basically GTX 780 Classified territory.

If you think AMD is charging 549 for their top tier card, you are crazy. There is no chance whatsoever it's going to cost $549. Especially when the currency conversion shows that it will be more expensive than that.Originally Posted by Stay Puft

Every online listing of the Sapphire 290X has it between 555 and 570 usd. Why do you think it has to be more? Because Nvidia overcharges you for the 780 and Titan?

We have a ~20% tax on everything, retailers take a bit more and the shipping of the cards costs a bit. 1€:$1 is pretty common in electronics. If it costs 500€ here it'll be either $550 or $500 in the US.Originally Posted by BiG StroOnZ

Because AMD overcharges for every top tier item they release and then lowers the prices later on if it doesn't sell. It's competing with the Titan according to unofficial benchmarks, what makes you think they are going to sell it for $500 less than a Titan? You really think AMD isn't as money grubbing as NVIDIA?Originally Posted by Stay Puft

Yeah I'd be willing to place a wager against those who believe it will be 600+ USD. It's going to be $550 USD or less.Originally Posted by Stay Puft

Almost all Computer hardware has released for a 1 dollar to 1 euro rate due to higher tax rates in the EU so if it really is 500 euro it will probably be somewhere near 500 dollars.Originally Posted by BiG StroOnZ

1. To gain Market share
2. To stick it to Nvidia
How many people are going to even think about a 780 at 649 when the 290X is 549 or even less. I really hope i'm wrong with the 549 price and it ends up being 499
Why would Amd price it at 550? EasyOriginally Posted by BiG StroOnZ

I wanna see some official benches before I bite one this...maybe sell one or both my 680s snag me one of these or maybe 780 if prices drop on it

you also forgot that amds chips are smaller so they can have a higher profit margin at a lower price point compared to nvidia.Originally Posted by Stay Puft

The only thing that says they are charging so little for it is the rumors, but that's about it. Goes against their typical initial release product pricing pattern.
Well ignoring the so called "rumors" and "articles." And instead using thought processing. They have a product that basically already is faster than the a GTX 780. As a matter a fact, it competes with a Titan. Which by any standard is superb. So, what would make them want to charge $500-550 for a product they could sell for $600-650 and still slaughter their competition while making money at the same time? Then have custom models sell in the $700 range. Basically telling consumers you get Titan performance for much less money and it's the new standard for High Resolution Gaming?Originally Posted by MaCk-AtTaCk

I will play your game....what makes you think AMD is going to price this card any differently than ALL the leaks? DO oyu have insider info? I'm gonna take a hunch that your are wrong and the leaks are accurate. Sorry, nothing personal.Originally Posted by BiG StroOnZ
