That would be ~$85, looking at Newegg and Amazon.What is the current (average) price for GT 1030 in the US?
Exactly, and a topic for another thread, not this one.Nothing wrong with the used market if price/performance is what you are after, especially with current DDR4 prices.
The cost of entry for a 2200G system, including 8GB DDR4-3200 and entry level B350 motherboard, is approximately $270. Add a decent 500W PSU + case and 120GB SSD and you're looking at an approximate $400 total system cost.
For about the same money you can generally get a i7 2600 or 3770 based Dell/HP SFF PCs (the market seems to be flooded with these, at least in Australia) plus a current gen GTX 1050 or RX 560, for slightly better CPU performance but far superior graphical performance.
Of course, new vs used is an apples to oranges comparison, but I personally am not against buying used hardware as I've never had a CPU or motherboard die on me, though I am not dismissing the possibility of that happening.
WTH is wrong with AMD? they plan to do a worldwide launch of RR tomorrow and they still havent put up a working RR driver?
For a product that releases in HOURS. That is like saying "whats the point of offering firmware updates to support it", they did release it. They know by now there are people with the APU and this makes them look bad. Press should have a working driver for days now, whats the point of hidding the driver? Specially because the OEMs are offering a driver that supports it and its completely broken.
The good news is that 17.40 is just completely broken for RR IGP, and so a new driver could provide a nice boost in the scores we were seeing for the last few days.
This should be a subject we should all agree on, unless you feel some need to defend every AMD move even when they make no sence at all.
No one said it should be final fully optimised drivers, but at this point there are people, like the one on the video with the APU and they start to give information based on a broken driver, while they sit on a driver that actually works waiting for the clock to run out. Whats the point? there is none.
What it puzzles me is that they had to give the go ahead for OEMs to release 17.40 driver dated from january for RR desktop, petty much like they do for ANY dgpu, they had to knew that was completely broken. Even more reason to release a driver sooner.
Microcenter has them for 99/169 pl;us the standard $30 motherboard bundle incentive.
All of us know what he was doing in this thread.Did anyone find it hilarious that Shivansps went on a rant yesterday about AMD not having posted the drivers for Raven Ridge (for desktop) even though the processors weren't even released yet?
Well, here it is:

I see no reason to prefer a R-1400 to a R-2400G, considering the APU is clocked higher and is also decent with a separate GPU, at least according to and techpowerup and Linus reviews. it's as good or a bit better.I still like the R5-1400 and DGPU combo for me, but I do build systems for others. I built an A10-7850K system for an employee a while ago, and he needs an upgrade, so the 2200G/2400G would be an ideal replacement.
Well, the employee won't be doing any overclocking, so that's not part of the equation. Probably go with the 2400G for him.I see no reason to prefer a R-1400 to a R-2400G, considering the APU is clocked higher and is also decent with a separate GPU, at least according to and techpowerup and Linus reviews. it's as good or a bit better.
Overall I still feel like 2200G is the best bang-for the buck. For instance one can buy it, overlock to 2400G level, and stars saving up for a discreet GPU (maybe a GTX 2050 half a year later), instead of wasting all the money at once. And a year later go fora Ryzen 3600X/3700X (Zen2) still on the same Mobo.

AFAIK current parts can already be configured for 45W TDP.
What could Intel possibly bring to this table?I think i will wait to see what intel brings to the table, the whole DDR4 shite is a turn off with these...

You need dual channel with the APU, so you need two sticks of ram, 4x2 or 8x2.
The thinking is that if you have 2gb for the GPU, 8gb leaves you just 6gb of ram for the system.
Single channel ram kills the gpu in the APU.
With a DGPU you don't need the dual channel ram.
Why would you want to convince me? And my "system" doesn't have an Intel chip in it.
You didn't address the graphics performance of the APUs with single channel ram, anyway.
I think for now the 2400G will be the flagship model.Is there going to be a higher SKU then the R5 2400G or is this going to be the flagship model??
