AMD RX 480 Available For Preorder
AMD is preparing for major demand on its RX 480 graphics cards come June 29. Word has reached us that retailers & e-tailers have been stocking up on RX 480 GPUs for the past couple of weeks and that the supply for the RX 400 launch is “strong”. Having good supply is of particular importance for AMD’s new products to succeed.
Especially after the shortages that we’ve seen drive prices for Nvidia’s GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 through the roof.Unfortunately the situation on the other side of the coin with the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 launch is quite dim. The cheapest GTX 1080 available costs $859. That’s more than $150 above the MSRP that Nvidia has set for the Founder’s Edition and more than $250 above the MSRP for all other GTX 1080 graphics cards.
Nvidia’s decision to launch its GP104 based GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards early with limited supply has definitely come at a cost. One that the consumers will have to endure until the situation improves and prices normalize.
RX 460, 470, 480 4GB & 8GB Will Be Available June 29 For $99, $149, $199 And $229 Respectively
AMD’s decision to build-up stock for several weeks preceding the Radeon RX 400 series launch on June 29 should help circumvent any such shortages. At launch gamers will have the choice of 8GB & 4GB RX 480 cards , 8GB and 4GB RX 470 cards as well as 2GB and 4GB RX 460 graphics cards.
