Why not sell the 290 after you know you have a Fury secured? It's only $200.



Yeah, probably what I'll end up doing. I'm pretty confident I can get one day one, but who knows.

I would definitely stay vigilant if you want one the day or week of release. I have a feeling the relatively new HBM production is going to cause some supply issues.



Kind of what I was assuming as well, however I did read from a few places that AMD has built up a large stock ahead of release, so maybe they won't be all that hard to come by at first, who knows.

Per Reddit, the 300 series went live on Newegg at precisely 7am. So that's their guess. Past releases have been at 12:01am eastern though.

Rumor has it the Fury's will be bundled with Star Wars Battlefront, as far as a bundled game goes. I'll take that for sure.

I turn 30 next month, couldn't let you have all the attention. I had to make it about me too.

You could always outdo him by throwing a Fury my way.

Ordered the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 750W power supply a bit ago. Normally $120, on sale on Amazon and the Egg for $94.99 but the Egg also offering a $25 rebate card with it, steal.

Current one is 600w and while plenty for the 290, not enough under load for a FuryX.

Also, after I wrote a pretty hateful rant to NewEgg for canceling ShopRunner free 2 day shipping a few months back....guess what's back?

So I guess Newegg is not promoting their "Premier" service anymore? Basically, their really really shitty answer to Amazon Prime, where you essentially pay a subscription for the type of service you should be expect from an online retailer in the first place?

Not sure, but I let them have it when they initially removed ShopRunner trying to force people into Premiere. Said they'd forward my complaint, guess they actually did.

Which is great for free 2 day for my Fury order and the power supply, was planning on paying extra however much to get it here in a day or two.

DigiTimes reports that Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) will be launching the first of its next-generation Skylake microprocessors at the Gamescom conference, which is expected to be held between August 5 and August 9. In particular, Intel is said to be launching the Core i5-6600K and Core i7-6700K, which are "unlocked" parts -- meaning that they can be tweaked by users to run at speeds faster than the speed at which Intel ships them.


Holy shite that is WAY earlier than I expected especially for the unlocked versions. Hell yes!

Not excited about Skylake on desktop but extremely excited for the mobile release.
