Soldato
Not sure if its too late now but the 480 was a great sell earlier this year and then a swap to the Vega at launch. I believe at one point the two cards were the same price, market vs retail. This is what the forum is for really, we should have been allowed to post full screen flashing Neon GIF at that point because that was the best deal ever.
AMD isnt producing enough cards. My guess is they upped or switched more production capacity to the 580 and they cannot easily throw out a ton of Vega. If they are trying to make more Vega maybe the extra processing steps in production lines from having to fix in HBM means it'll be xmas before we see so much stock that it actually matches the proper retail price
Thanks. Seems like it's going to be horribly pricey for a good while yet.
