    I'm convinced, AMD and Nvidia are price fixing just like ATI and Nvidia did. Staggering releases, Nvidia ups the price, AMD responds with...oh now we need more $ for our flagship card to...... and price fixing. On a mature process to. They've been making 28nm GPU for going on two years now.....its getting more expensive to manufacture cards at 28nm now....must be so many defective cards coming out huh? And it is just a revamp of an existing card with a wider memory bus.

    You know what? I'm going to buy the 7990 for $610 and a water block for ~$140. The only thing the R9's $700 price tag did was make a card that I guarantee cost 1.5x more $ for AMD to manufacture...look 1.5x better and I guarantee it will perform 1.5x better. Well, I guess I waited all this time for the 7990's price to drop. Heh, I feel better already.
