So I have been Super Super excited to get an R9 290 Graphics card with an aftermarket cooler. I've especially been looking forward to the Asus R9 290 DirectCU II OC edition.
At the RRP of $399 for the stock version i was sure I would be in for $450 for the Asus Custom version; now imagine my shock when i see it listed on pretty much every E-tailer for $600. Seriously guys WTF !!! AMD aren't selling you the chips for $150 more so why are you charging us, your "Valued" customer $150 over recommended retail price.
I understand the whole supply and demand thing and the MASSIVE issue that is cryptomining at the moment but we the gamers' suffer immensely with these hyper inflated prices.
I'm SUPER pissed off to say the least,
Is anyone else feeling the same way?
