XFX 290 vs XFX 290 Black Edition

Seminaljim · Jul 23, 2014

Hi there,

I'm confused... why it the XFX Black Edition (overclocked I presume), cheaper than the XFX 290 (non overclocked) card:

290: £289.99
290 BE: £274.99

Am I missing something? shouldnt the overclocked card be more expensive?

it should.

Don't know, maybe they just did not update prices or are simply drunk because the cheaper is the better one.

The BE is in stock, the normal edition is not, price will be updated once it gets restocked IMO.
