Date for Non Reference R9 290?

[SeanJ]

Hi guys! Do any of you know an estimated time or have a reliable source who knows of a time when the non reference R9 290 cards are going to be launched here in SA? I've heard mid November and mid December..

Some sites state end of november, by that's probably only overseas, probably close to xmas here... I can't bring myself to buy the ref card either, because it means spending another 800 odd bucks on a arctic accelero xtreme iii, which probably voids warranty in any case..
