Ahh.. so that's perhaps why there's also been shortages in the past 6 months of Radeon R9 cards too? The bitcoin miners?

Personally I am looking for a Radeon R9 290 (a version with custom fans), but for a while I considered the 280X, but then ppl said it's just an overclocked 7970.

yeah, from what i've gathered doing my research, miners have been buying up all Amd's cards. As a result, the cards i can find are so horribly overpriced compared the actual performance, and the competition.
