AMD lowers price on Radeon R9 280

The year 2014 has largely consisted of the graphics card launch from AMD’s side, where old models from the HD 7000 series have been given new life. One of these was the Radeon R9 280, a marginally overclocked Radeon HD 7950, which despite a noticeable loss of performance, put a few hundred bucks under the Radeon R9 280X.

Now the previous pricing is corrected and the Radeon R9 280 goes down from the previous 279 dollars to 249 dollars. This means that the model lies midway between the Radeon R9 280X and the Radeon R9 270X, which currently costs around SEK 2,500–2,600 and SEK 1,600–1,800, respectively, in Swedish stores.

The new price is expected to take effect at retailers within the next few days.
