Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

Please no.

Fedup of all the gloom, putting prices up is bad for business, but if we don't we lose money and that is even worse.

Is not all doom and gloom. Lots of countries would love to devalue especially Greece! We will adapt and overcome :)

On a serious note if £20 is a big deal then you shouldn't be buying PC gaming gear!
 
You dont need to be poor to understand the importance of value. A $230 card selling for £220 sucks.

Well you're okay only paying in $. As for people over here it is what it is. We don't have stupidly high health insurance, different tax system, smaller market etc. so trying to compare economies based on the price of a few items doesn't work too well.
 
And the thing is... the prices quoted are the MSRP, so this isn't even what they are being bought for by retailers.

I remember buying a supercharger kit when the rate was 2.1:1 oh those were the days. :(

Hell I remember going to the US one October, and the rate was 2.5:1 !!

Good days :) I bet we didn't have the massive national debt then either, getting bigger every day. If we had the Euro we'd have been in serious trouble and you'd be selling GPUs for a lot more!
 
Shall I just get the Zotac 980Ti for £360? Might even appreciate the way it's going :p

That is upto you, I'd rather let you decide by yourself or talk with other members.

All I will say, 1070 out the box is faster than 980Ti out the box!

But 980Ti OC pull it back and when both overclocked they are pretty equal.

Looking forward to the launch as a way of avoiding politics. Be grateful if you kept you're political beliefs to yourself or a different part of the forum.

Gaming should be an escape from this sort of thing.
