Other than being ugly is there any reason not to get this RX480?

buy it and give your 290 to me

Where the fuck can I find one that is in stock.

one of the fans on my 290 is fuckey

290 > 480

doubt this is worthwhile upgrade, but check the benchmars

Jesus man, I didn't know Canadians had a $200 import fee. It would probably be worth it to drive to the US and pick it up

getting a 480 would be a sidegrade from a 290, wait for vega for a upgrade

I live in az and we get a shit ton of Canadians down during fall till spring time. All they ever go on about is how cheap stuff is here compared to Canada. They love Costco deeply. They buy a truck load of stuff and haul it back to Canada.

They even by cars out here too. Still comes out cheaper even after all the fees they have to pay to bring it back into Canada.

Holy shit just replace your 290 fan you stupid fuck

its pretty crazy actually. they pour in over a billion dollars alone into az. think about all the other states they go to like fl?

in a way its sad. all those billions could be going into the canadian economy but instead it goes into ours.

plus not only are we getting their monies but canada has been offshoring a lot of their companies to az.

>Not jumping on the $260 cad ones and flashing to 8 GB VRAM

>have a 290 now

Then no. A 480 would be a side-grade. Faster in a few titles, slower in a few others, has less memory bandwidth (it should affect extreme AA), and uses slightly less power.

Remember that the 480 is a midrange card.

Maybe find a way to buy from a US company? Jet.com has the Rx470 for $180 and the GTX 1060 for $230. USD that is. You could use like reship.com or something.

>it's not gtx 1060

ty famalan

Got a 660ti. How much more powerful are 480's and 1060's?

Also canadian so prices are fucked
>470's are 260-320
>480's are 320 to 400
>1060's are 330+

Just seems to make sense and buy a 1060.

A overclocked 1060 is roughly 110% faster than a overclocked 660ti.

...

you okay bud?

Not a worthy upgrade from a 290, especially as an igloo. Maybe if you were in humid balls sub tropical country like me, but even then I'd probably blast a fan at me with headphones on and undervolt.

It all balances out. Places with higher cost of living always pour money into cheaper foreign products. Just look at the origin and cost to manufacture of our electronics for fucks sake.

Actually, it might just be. Considering how much less power it uses, i'd call it worth it.

The US difference being the fees go to private middle men generally, instead of the government, if big brother is you're bag. Jokes aside, I actually think the US should be more isolationist and protectionist of our economy and not get gyped in unilaterally beneficial trade deals. And stop giving foreign aid to countries who obviously squander it. Why are secure borders and tariffs inherently bad to a nation state? What's wrong with placing you're own country foremost, and limiting interferencs into foreign affairs?

That's why I'm voting for that bloated cheeto Trump, he actually fucking makes sense and speaks his mind. Plus Hillary is a fucking establishment crook that will nosedive this country.

why are they all getting bought up??

>buying a card that still has shit dx12 support in 2016
no

A lot of people got baited into being waitfags. Me included for 9 months. There were some killer deals in the past month or so if you were dogging for them. $168 msi gaming x rx 470, $216 evga base model 1060, $275 sapphire nitro fury, $330 980ti.

yeah, i don't think waitfags are buying them all up seconds after stock is back up.

hearing something about some other memecoin, thought we were past that shit.

Huh. Well that makes sense I suppose. Probably explains the 480 stocks being destroyed since it gets a fair amount more teraflops, that doesn't usually translate to much. I had chalked it up to glofo yields. Possibly a double whammy.

1060>RX 480
also no driver support once AMD goes bankrupt within the next 1-3 years

You guys still lucky

Our third world shithole has the Rx Poo in Loo Nitro+ at $366 USD

Yet a 1060 Palit Dual fan is $332

There's no reason to buy AMD at all

>No drivers once Nvidia implements a proper dx12 architecture in a year

I can meme too.

>$436 for a 1060
>$405 for reference RX 480 (no stock)
>$421 for MSI RX 480 (no stock)
>$327 for Sapphire RX 470 (8gb)
Fuck this shit, I'm getting the 470, got tired of being a waitfag.

>AMD being a failing company is a meme
Nvidia's stock just got raised by AMD's entire worth awhile ago, and its barely a 10% increase

Yeah, they totally pood ouside the loo on on international pricing, where they could have got a lot of traction. At that pricing it's not even a competition. Grab a 1060 with a non shit cooler.

T. Guy who just bought an amd card

>telling someone to buy the superior product when he asks for purchasing advice
its almost as if being a "moral" tard with a burnt motherboard matters more than having a better gpu

Didn't AMD stock just have like a quarterly stock increase of like %350?

I don't think you understand valuation. Nvidia is undeniably less likely to fail, and like Apple or Google's hyper inflated stock, it is evaluated higher. But this doesn't necessarily translate to real world bottom lines. And your margins for gain are much smaller, so trade activity is generally lower.

>superior because I said so
ok

>burnt motherboards
Nobody mentioned the reference model, just let the faggot buy whatever the fuck he wants

Man, valley girled that first sentence. Shouldn't type after drinking, ends up stream of consciousness.

What the fuck happened with the international prices anyway?

Higher shipping costs than Nvidia
I really want to understand

Get an RX470, they'rem uch better priced in Canada. You can find them at 260$

How long until AMD GPUs just start shipping with poo smears all over them?

Probably going to end up the price performance prince of the year if you aren't interested in VR. Could have said king, but I like alliteration, fuck you.

To add, the 470 is a good option dependant on pricd. It's not far behind the 480 and overclocks better.

fucking africa

Well, that's socialism for you.

How is that ugly? Look's pretty elegant to me

Except Nvidia cards are priced properly. Just the POO cards are at crazy prices. In Norway they cost basically the same, which shouldnt be the case.

Is there some additional poo tax in effect?

And you can get a really good MSI version.

I know it won't ever use 8gb, 6gb would be more sensible.

Is this price stupid when for £20 I could get a 480 nitro?

I may be mistaken but doesn't that only work on the xfx reference cards?

I don't think anyone has tried it yet. If it works I will shit myself and get a £200 Sapphire nitro 4gb.

I've already managed to get a nitro 4gb. I'm hoping that I'll be able to flash it but I'm going to wait for others to do it first so I don't risk bricking the card.

How are the temps on load in your set up? I hear it hits 78c on a lot of tests.

Wow does AMD still exist? Listen if you are poor you should just buy a gtx 1070. It's an entry level card at best but probably for the free games you play like Tf2, it will do at a stretch.

There's no point in sidegrading. Your 290 is as good if not better than the 480.
ONLY difference is the VRAM.
Wait for Vega or Navi. Don't upgrade just because one generation has passed.
What do you think you own, a Nvidia card?
