AMD RX 400 series (Polaris) MegaThread! FAQ & Resources

Sorry to say but you guys are nuts thinking a 570 or 580 will be on sale on Black friday. They are barely in stock in stores as is, AMD and the partners are just going to sell out of them and transition right into the Vega based cards.

Barring a crash in cryptocurrency prices anyway.

I wish!

While I don't need one right now I still hate the fact that a gamer can't get their hands on many mid-high range GPUs without getting gouged these days.

Me too. Last week Monday, my nephew had to buy a 1050 Ti at a price that's better fitting an RX470/570 because of the pricing situation. He saved and saved and saved over the months, and then seeing how the cards' prices was almost playing a cat and mouse game with him sucked.

What? You didn't get him 2x watercooled 1080ti OC models? What an awful uncle you are. I am baffled.

Cheers!

I don't know where y'all are shopping. Many of the Vega and 500 Series Polaris cards are in stock at Newegg at the MSRP right now.

@Yuka Laka: 😉

@manleysteele: Not all of us are in the US.

Black Friday is supposed to be an American thing... but it has been spreading in recent years.

That it has, including here in South Africa.
