I am a little puzzled by this. Amazon UK do not list any of the non reference r9 290s, even for pre order. I emailed them asking when they expected stock to come in. This is the reply I got:
Hello David,
I have had an update regarding the Graphics Cards.
We currently do not expect to sell the non reference models.
I know this is not exactly a helpful update.
The only suggestion is to check our third party Marketplace sellers.
They may sell the items you are looking for
I hope this helps, we hope to see you again soon
Warmest regards,
Lisa
Anyone else think this is a bit odd considering that they sell other AMD noN-reference cards and all of the Nvidia 780 GPUs
The original email and reply is available on my business Facebook page (sorry I don't have an account with imageshack)
