Serious question about the 480. I always see people saying that the 10x0 don't sell for msrp, but assume the 480 will. What's the logic behind this?

Bump

rip scooby

There's going to be a lot more than 20K 480s

When the Fury X or w/e came out they had issues because they couldn't actually make enough to supply retailers.
Not so much that the demand was high, but the supply was pathetically low.

>I always see people saying that the 10x0 don't sell for msrp, but assume the 480 will.

10x0 already confirmed by nVidia for tryhard "founder's edition" pricing. They claim OEMs will make cheaper cards but they have no reason to, it's much more likely the OEM cards will be even more expensive because that's how competition works.

AMD doesn't do shit like this. Their first-party card will be $200 and third party cards will be forced to compete on the same price point.

>it will be $200
you realize the msrp and what retailers charge are different things, right?

480 is a smaller chip, easier to produce in larger numbers, therefore it is much less likely to have supply problems that the 10x0 cards have.

Also, they aren't doing "Founders Edition" bullshit to jack the prices up by 25%.

That's what happened to the 10xx cards and why they're sold out everywhere

So you're basing this off sheer speculation and nothing else?

RIP Scooby

Smaller dies are vastly easier to produce and you get more of them out of a wafer. If you can trim your die down by 25% your yields might go up an extra 200%.

Polaris is a very small die and they aren't targeting super aggressive clocks like nvidia.

the fuck are you talking about he uploaded yesterday

/fit/ is forcing a meme that he died in the shootings.

Come back Scoobs ;_;

People are annoying as fuck when it comes to pricing hardware

They say $200 but what they mean is $200 without VAT and no import tax as a recommended price

Then it's $250.. For the cheap version.. And $300 for the one people really want.

Then you add import taxes and you get the real price. Bullshit all over.

See you in the next life scooby, you were too good for this one. R.I.P.

Scooby died??

>just finding this out
you heartless monster

What? No we aren't.

Youre retarded.

he's right tho

No, they give prices for the U.S because they're based in the U.S. obviously they aren't going to tell a bunch of Americans the price in Euros.
