$200 is a godsend right now. I know so many people who desperately need an upgrade but can't afford the terrible prices. This would be a nice stop gap care for them

I just hope they have made more than normal, as people are screaming for cards and would rather buy a $200 new than a 2nd hand 970/580, this is much needed not everyone is like me and a total gfx whore some are just as happy on medium 1080p, the market has been crying out for this type of card and if i'm being really honest it's these cards that should be launched first i really mean that.

The size of the die will give them much higher yields per wafer just on its own tbh. Plus the failure rates are reduced drastically too.

Problem is how many people need them. These are not cards you want, but need.

Awesome. I really hope these are actually the supposed price.

The 4GB frame buffer is both a blessing and a curse. While I think 4 GB is too small, it is too small for Ethereum mining.

That said, set textures to high and 4GB is fine. This isn't a GPU for Ultra setting anyway.

Yeah for 1080p medium to low settings @ 60 these will be fine. My buddy has been using a 970 until recently when he found a cheapish 980Ti.

Most popular games are Fortnite, PUBG etc, so these will be fine for 1080p.

Hopefully this will also shatter the ludicrous prices of 970s, 980s, 480s 470s etc.
