That's BS IMO, retroactive pricecuts normally affect only the US+EU. Live elsewhere, you're rather ed. 470s sell for 330USD here btw, ridiculous.

There's a reason why most people here prefer AMD's consistent MSRP strategy: for countries that have distributor-chain methods it's way more stable and predictable, your card won't devalue nor will you buy it at crazy prices.

Just because Americans have the loudest mouths on forums/reviews doesn't mean that anyone else should get such a big pricing difference.


However I don't think the 580 will go for that high anyway. Most likely 499.
