Radeon R9 290X to cost more than expected; Nvidia GTX 750 Ti rumoured

MCV Staff 4th October 2013 Business News

AMD’s upcoming high-end Radeon R9 290X graphics card looks like it will cost more than initially expected.

Upon its reveal last month it was being reported that the card would retail for $599 – or around the same price as Nvidia’s GTX 780. However, TechSpot reports that the first prices to appear online for the GPU are coming in at around $699.

Which is still less than a GTX Titan, of course.

A release date of October 31st is also being speculated.

On the other side of the GPU divide, Nvidia is believed to be about to lift the lid on its R7-rivalling GTX 750 Ti.

Fudzilla reports that the GPU is built on a revised GK106 core and has a base clock of 1033MHz, boosting to 1098MHz. A 256-bit memory bus is welcome, however.

Rumours are also doing the rounds that Nvidia will shortly reveal the GTX 770 Ti, though this is not confirmed.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
