£100 extra for 4GB extra bog standard GDDR5 memory ? Ripoff.
It isn't he isn't quoting any truth at all. Those prices aren't the prices. The 8 gab is £239
It seems to be confirmed that the 8GB card is $300 (approx £250).......sadly no higher end card.
I'm afraid we may see different prices after the Brexit vote....if leaving gets more votes the £ will take a big hit against the $.
this is not the first time we get double memory versions of a GPU, usualy it's 20-40£ premium, and that wouldn't change, because that would render their whole compain null by charging 100£ for 4Go or GDDR5, just doesnt make sense, so i woudn't worry about that.
and just wait untill release day to see prices, not some pseudo early pricing burried in some site.
ofc some retailers will try to take advantage of the pre-order, and early release, but from all the infos out there, AMD shipped crap load of these cards, any attempt to price gouging wouldn't last over a week.
Them prices dont include any retail gouging.
If its £250 fine but at £300 it would be expensive, 1070 isn't a lot more.
could you link to me that retailer price leak ?

Thats for the sapphire aftermarket one, one of the better/more expensive AMD cards
The reference 480 8gb should be £220~, 480 4gb reference £170-80~. Thats my guess anyway.
Edit: found the sapphire 8gb 480 for £234, so £210-220 for reference easy
so im guessing this one, alright 214£ inc VAT for the sapphire card, and 24£ for shipping.
sahhpire seemed to have put 20$(16£) premium for it's sapphire card, so the MSRP for reference is 198£ inc VAT
i dont know if this is sapphire order page, the shipping quantity at 95 max units, i dont know if the shipping scale up according to the number of units, or it's 24£ for 1-95 units ( seem way too low thats like 0.25£ per card even for a retail order)

Two different retailers were around £230 to £240 - the higher end one of £250 is a highstreet retailer which still has GTX970 cards for around £290 to £300.
Yeah as i said thats not a bad price for the 8GB one.
especially if it overclocks to stock 1070 performance.
If it turns out to be true that the RX480 is 390 peformance yet the same price, I'd find that very disappointing. There would be no reason to choose the RX480 unless 390 went EOL, especially when we start getting decent 390 discounts, which I'd expect to happen.
I'm still hoping the RX480 8GB runs at least 390x levels at a sub £225 price or Fury pro sub £250 (non-reference card prices for both possibilities). Surely this can't be too difficult when moving from 28nm to 14nm.
I still have faith.

Leaks suggest about 5% above 390X performance, i think that much is probably true.
A bit faster than the 390X (Which is no slouch) for £50 less and half the power; its not bad actually, if it overclocks like the leaks suggest its pretty awesome.
