AMD Takes Advantage of GTX 970 Problems, Cuts Price of R9 290X

In the wake of the memory allocation problems suffered by NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 970 graphics card, the wily AMD has decided that now is the best time for its rival, the Radeon R9 290X, to be given a hefty price-drop. AMD are offering the graphics card, which has comparable levels of performance to the GTX 970, for as little as $299.

AMD is advertising the move with the cheeky “4GB MEANS 4GB” slogan, a sly dig at the GTX 970 and its release issues.
