Im assuming the reference, 4GB versions are going to cost $200. I think the 8GB versions are going to cost $250 and we will see about non reference versions.

I'm guessing 199 for 4GB reference, 249 for 8GB, and 299 for 8GB AIBs' OC editions.

EDIT: Yeah, that ^

Yeah, RX 480 4GB is $199, 8GB $249.99 for reference versions. Non reference all I know is that there is a $299 ~1.5GHz OC version from someone.

Yeah, if you have that kind of money to burn why not wait for the full chip?

I paid retail for mine but I will still move to the Ti whenever it drops. That gives both of my setups an upgrade and my nephew too with and will leave me with a 290x left over.

sad thing is these gtx 1080s are all being turned around, marked up, and sold on ebay or amazon for ~$300 more

Debating either getting what you are talking about or waiting for the 490. I think ill grab this one for now.

I hate when ppl even talk about OC editions. I don't give a fckk. Don't confuse ppl with the price and benches if it's the same chip.

It's the same card at 199 and 299. No if it has more VRAM , fine but then it's 250.

Think i'm still keeping with my MOBO/CPU combo until Skylake-E. Just no reason to upgrade the CPU for gaming or lightroom. I have 6C/12T, and IPC doesn't mean much outside of gaming but still getting by @ 4.5Ghz.

You guys need to find a monitor we can all agree on and buy in bulk somewhere.

I want at less 32" 4K GSync IPS 60hz. If I could find this monitor below $1K, ill get it and also upgrade my cards. Until then there is nothing my 2x980Tis @ 1440 can't do.

If the Polaris "leaks" are true? It's the 4870 all over again. The wait for vega/big pascal is gonna be a long one.

Waiting for Vega?

#nVidia fanboy. I buy name brands, pop my tags and show off. Can't do that with 2nd tier cards like AMD.

Joking.

I've never had a problem with AMD cards. Every nvidia card I've ever owned has died within 2 years. I'm sure they make nice cards now, but I've had AMD GPUs for the last 9 years and I don't plan on changing it.

Dude I don't ethierm I've owned both on multiple rigs almost every generation. I just don't build HTPCs and multiple rigs in a year now. Just do a main rig and HTPC now so didn't buy a Fury this past AMD gen.

My wife is finally ready to ditch the iPhone. Mostly, she's tired of the low-tier 16GB models and the small amount of free iCloud space that prevents seamless backups. Not buying the 64GB models at the ridiculous premium, especially now that we have to pay full price for phones.

Any thoughts on the OnePlus 3? Seems to be the best phone that isn't $600 at the moment. Although, I think battery life is probably going to be equal priority for her.

How much did you spend on your HTPC?

I've always been tempted to do a SFF build.

OnePlus 3 or Nexus 6P imo if your looking for the best Android phone.

I haven't owned a Galaxy since the S3 and the S2 and S3 gave me shitloads of problems.
