Super Cheap R9 280!
Here is the link for the amazon price comparison website. Is the price of the 280 likely to go down in the future? It is at it's lowest price at the moment, but I am not sure. I want to buy it now but I also want to save some money (if it reduces, but thats unlikely). I think it may be at it's best ever price.

yeah there is often a reason for it. the card will ship from a warehouse rather than a store so theres less overhead for the seller.
overclockers.co.uk started like this.

the recent price fall has to do with people buying R9 cards for bitcoin builds. now the rush is over theres was an over abundance of them so the price fell sharply. amd have since wound back production to balance the demand so now prices are falling less sharply.

It's quite a rapid drop from the most expensive to the cheapest, about £44 difference.

Thanks, so happy I bought it and it was worth it 😀. The other cards have also reduced, you are right! It's my first build and I hope it will be successful :)
