R9 270 @ $179
R9 280x @ $299
R9 290x @ $549

Hopefully we will see price drops here once the retailers have cleared the old expensive stock and get a new shipment of the lower priced cards.

AMD is also secretly working on a new GPU core which will début later this year.

If however you need a GPU now, look no further than Nvidia’s Maxwell (750ti), it’s a brilliant chip. (price and performance champion in our country atm until we see these price drops)

Pfft. As if the local prices will drop to match.
