Dat noise tho under full load

When is it expected to launch in India?

It will take 1-2 months to reach India

Performance to Price ratio is bang on for the 290X. Hope that it lands in India for less than 40k.
Custom PCB will have lower temp and might see good overclocked version.

AMD will surely have 290X GHZ edition to battle the 780 Ti. But i think nvidia has lost it in the price war.

There is R9 290 (which is yet to be released) that will increase the GPU price wars.
@Fenix
GHZ edition!
AMD pushed a lot with 290X and i dont think there will be GHZ edition anytime sooner (if there is one) .

Yepp 31st October is the date and its clocked 10% lesser.
