Don't care. I'll pay an extra dollar or two to use amazon.Yea the only difference would be paying tax. Then again I wonder if they would ever try and say you broke the card from newegg if it were dead on arrival.

I've never had issues with Amazon and their returns were always painless if I had any. I was just comparing cards from newegg on there and they didn't seem to have the gigabyte windforce 1070. I guess they don't have all models or I may need to search differently.Don't care. I'll pay an extra dollar or two to use amazon.
Bought 6 more RX480s yesterday. Compute bang for the buck is too good to pass up.
Dangg. You are all over those cards lol. Whats your total hashrate for all of those?
I just sold my XFX 8GB I got on clearance at Microcenter for $200, on ebay for $270 (pending payment atm). I was able to snag a powercolor red devil last night. Just got my shipping confirmation from newegg for that about an hour ago
You should also set up text alerts on nowinstock.heh. I can't nab a single one. Auto notify? You betcha!
Nothing.
I'm at 12 480's now. They've been hellish to get my hands on. Need to start unloading 390 to buy more 480's
You know why it's hard to get, cos the miners are grabbing them all. :/
All these RX 480s, never to see the Steam hardware survey...

Is that why we have a shortage in rx 480 :'(
Comon now you have 12 of those 480s and I have 0...And I actually need 1 to play games.
No wonder Nvidia always has an upper-hand in the gaming market, not because of performance per dollar, nor the longevity of driver supports and optimization, but more like availability and keep miners away from their cards!
I'm getting salty - yeah, it's real...
And remember kids, a troll is a source of great joy but also great responsibility: they need to be properly fed and taken care of, otherwise they wither and die!Amd is hoping that this mining craze would last as long as possible, otherwise who would buy this slow, inefficient hot gpu over an gtx1060?

I tweeted a number of people from AMD before the release (months before) Advising/warning them not to let the mining effect cause distribution and pricing issues with Polaris like it did Hawaii. I was assured they wouldn't make that mistake again. :\

This is for new orders, those who already ordered should see there card sooner than this.
ETA's updated as I literally just ordered an additional 3000 units of Nitro cards, infact the Sapphire Nitro 4G and 8G OC are as of now OcUK's pretty much top selling cards out of all graphics cards. Sapphire are absolutely over the moon with this level of success as are AMD.
But the Nitro at £199 and £250 is a serious incredible card that really just hits every mark, great looks, cool and quiet, tonnes of features, overclockable, great warranty. Gotta be one of the best all round cards of all time, absolutely nailed it!
Sapphire manage to get us more than the promised 30pc early delivery, it is now around 100 units which all being well should ship today. This 100 is mixed between 4G and 8G however.
Next lot just shipped today, which was a further 60-100 units and hopefully more will ship this weekend.
AMD are also aware that we have nearly 10,000 units of RX 480 on backlog, of which Sapphire accounts for over 50%, as such AMD are also moving more GPU to fulfill OcUK PO's.
We are now no.1 in the world for RX 480 sales on an end-user based level. Right now we are actually turning away mining orders on RX 480 to ensure it is gamers getting first dibs.
As mining is kicking off again on RX 480, but we are refusing to take orders until there is enough stock to cope with gamers and mining demand, gamers come first.
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=3It really is, RX 480 is selling insanely well now, Sapphire with Nitro have nailed it and were finding the Powercolor Devil card to also be selling like crazy.
In the end it is what the market needs is competition!
The RX 480 launch was all promises that nothing was delivered on.
Power efficiency? Never happened.
Performance expectations? Lower than expected.
Price? Hiked up from the $200 level that was promised to the $260+ level. (Let's talk about how Nvidia price hikes but not AMD).
There are so many more things, the point is:
The RX 480 underdelivered on every front except price.
I don't even think the GTX 1060 is a better buy, but the RX 480 is overpriced, underperforming, and AIB availability is a joke that I don't get why people are excited about this card at all.
IMO the 4GB seems like a very good price/performance ratio but the 8 GB cards are not very good. You essentially get 390 performance out of the 8 GB 480 for 390 prices and save a bit in energy use. You could have bought aftermarket 390s for between $260 and $280 within the last year. I glad I was lucky and was able to buy a Sapphire Nitro Fury for $275 with that newegg deal last week. I think the 4GB cards are the really sweet spot right now.
I am sure amd are happy if miner or gamer buys their cards, it doesnt matter to them.
And yet the RX 480 sells out within seconds of being in stock funny how that works right?The RX 480 launch was all promises that nothing was delivered on.

It will be good for gamers in the long run when all these cards are dumped on the market when mining is less profitable in a few months. 480 prices will crash.
But that's also what put the 290/290X in the bargain bin.
As used cards were cannibalizing new cards for almost half the price, in some cases more.
It is what it is. Side effect of having good mining capabilities - lots of stock goes to non-gamers leaving gamers who may grow bitter and just buy Nvidia.
Because availability is a joke. I stated that already.And yet the RX 480 sells out within seconds of being in stock funny how that works right?
