I have looked everywhere and I just can't find when I can pre-order or purchase the card. Anyone have any information?

And on top of that is it worth getting a 280x or just getting an older 7970?

More about : 280x avaliable

If you want all the cool new features with the new GPUs coming out, it's totally worth it to wait for a r9 280x. If the price point is honest. If its more than $400, I would just spring for a HD 7970. But I think it's going to be sub $400.

I heard that the R9 280X is faster adn cheaper than the 7970 which is what it is based on. They are coming out this month but that's all I could find out.

On a sidenote, youre American but I found a UK site that lets you pre-order so it might just be the shop not letting you preorder yet.

So, I just found you you can crossfire a HD 7970 with a R9 280x. I think you're safe to buy a HD 7970 now as I believe older DX 11.1 GPUs will get mantle.
