Sooo...it's the 15th and Z is wondering where the hell his case of R9-290Xs is...

Yeah...seems AMD is having issues and changed the launch date. Fortunately though, it's still soon, the 24th or maybe the 18th. Not even AMD seems to know which :/ eTailers and review sites are also under orders to keep quiet until then.

Remember the R9-290 and R9-290X are the only new GPUs. The 280X on down, which you can buy right now, are all 7000 series rebrands, the 280X being the 7970 GHz Edition.
