People use it for Bitcoining. Hence the interest.

get the R9-290 and spend the extra on the cooler then.

The extra price is more than I'm willing to pay on the X model.

I'd wait if I was you, I have a feeling the R9-290x will really start to shine when they sort out their cooling.

I had it crossfired with a 5850. Worked great.

Got my eye on a new R9 290. Dunno if I'm going to wait for the models with custom coolers to arrive or just go with the reference one.

Probably intends to CrossFire connect it.

Already got 4 people interested and one is coming round this evening to take it cash... so I guess it's sold.

Didn't think there would be so much demand, since it's such a big card with high power requirements and somewhat dated.

These was great cards and the price is reasonable. Good luck Murgs.

Just in case anyone is interested. Already posted it to Carbonite. I have a reference design ATi 5970 2Gb (dual gpu card) for sale. R2000 on Carbonite but I'd let it go for R1800 to someone in Grrr.

Be aware its a long card (no small cases) and requires a 8 pin and 6 pin power connecter.
