Sounds like it is too good to be true! :o
Yes, the price baffles me ???? Maybe I should upgrade my PC wth two of theese >:D
Maybe they just forgot to add an additional zero on that price tag
We will see. If it is true, or close to true, prices on nVidia cards will also drop ;)
Yes, Nvidia decided to release the high-end cards first.
Looks like the 8GB version will cost 29$ more (http://www.kitguru.net/gaming/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/amd-radeon-rx-480-8gb-version-to-cost-229/)
