    [News] Radeon RX 480 4GB drops below US $199.99

    http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphic...elow-us-199-99

    While checking out an offer over at Newegg.com, we stumbled on a rather neat offer of a Radeon RX 480 4GB graphics card on pre-order for US $189.99, which is actually the first time that we have seen it below AMD's MSRP of US $199.99.

    While it officially launched with an MSRP of US $199.99, we can't say that we have ever seen it at that price, at least not until now. According to listings at Newegg.com, Powercolor actually has two Radeon RX 480 4GB graphics cards on offer, a vanilla one with a single center placed cooler, priced at US $189.99 and a different Red Dragon version which has a beefier dual-fan cooler, priced at US $199.99.

    The US $189.99 priced Powercolor RX 480 4GB is still not available, but you can pre-order it and it should ship on 10th of November.

    Of course, you'll still have to add US $4.99 for shipping but these are still the cheapest RX 480 4GB graphics cards that you can buy.

    Sapphire, MSI and XFX have their own Radeon RX 480 4GB versions on sale, priced at US $209.99 and US $219.99 and the cheapest 8GB version comes from Gigabyte, in the form of WindForce version priced at US $239.99 + shipping.

    AMD has been doing quite well in the mainstream market taking advantage of its Polaris 10 GPU but Nvidia still reigns supreme in the high-end market.

    I'm tempted to own something new like the 480, but I keep telling myself that it will essentially just make the eventual upgrade to a Vega card cost $200 more.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
