    Why is the power color r9 290x only 240 quid?Next is the msi version at 266. When the prices for the other exculding the 8gb version go up to 400 quid.

    And with the r9 290's starting at 219 up to 290, should i not just get a 290x? extra 20 quid for the extra performance.

    Looking at that first 290x power colour gpu, its a lie. On the spec it says it has 2560 streams when a 290x should have 2816.

    Answered my own question, its not even a 290x. Basically being sold an overclocked 290, which is wrong and it should be removed.

    could just be a templating error, i.e. copied the specs from a 290 instead of a 290x
