What happened to these magical $200 budget cards? Have we been memed?
>>
You can get gtx 1060 aftermarket cards for $249 right now.
>>
>>55990122
Not with a full sized cooler. The only $250 card right now is the half size Zotac on Newegg.
>>
>>55990160
The single fans ones perform as well as the dual fan ones.
>>
>>55990082
in my country
rx 480 4gb is 200 usd but are extremely hard to find probably december until get stocked and 8gb version is around 270 usd which are available

zotac gtx 1060 mini cost the same with rx 480 8gb
>>
>What happened to these magical $200 budget cards

The 470.

They're a few frames behind a 480 and you can get an excellent aftermarket card for 200 or less. After being overclocked, they match the 480.

you fell for the acx tri fan meme
>>
>>55990231
btw the strix is a weaker model (costs about 190). the MSI does even better.

The 470 is the budget card to buy this go around.

>>55990082
newegg has them for $280 in stock you retard

Always buy a generation behind.
The vacuum on previous gen of faggots looking to sell will suck the price under and drop damn near 40% of the price of initial listings.
While having top of the line performance is good, I'd rather decent enough hardware without buyer's remorse and long term resell points.

980ti classified here sitting comfy. Enjoying pushing all major titles at 60fps on 1440p.

>Inb4 muh dx12 and Vulkan!

By the time dx12 is the new norm for all titles, my 980ti will be due for replacement anyway. OP, check around your Craigslist or ebay for a used 980ti or fury.

might as well just get a 1070 at that rate
>>
>>55990460

>>55990257
Exactly this.

Why buy a LG G3 in 2014 at $600, when I can buy one today at $120.

Also it allows you to see what problems arise long term with the product you are buying, and which products age the best.

That's not true, there are full sized coolers for $249.

>memecoin miners are driving up the price

Are we still in 2013?
>>
>>55990838
Do you purposely cut out the stock status?
>>
>>55990998
No it's an old pic.

If you want to get one in stock, go to the product page like here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125879

Then click auto notify, they will email you when it is in stock and you can get one.
>>
I just gave up and bought a 970 instead. Just don't feel like rushing to buy something before it goes out of stock again.
>>
>>55990909
Memecoins, not Bitcoins. ETC is the new fad to mine right now giving around ~$2.5 a day per RX 480. The pressure is however not on the 8gb models as the extra memory has no benefit for mining and 470 is likely going to take its place as the card as they seem to have slightly faster ROI
>>
>>55990160

The 1060 is so power efficient the cooler doesn't even matter. That card doesn't go over 70 with a default fan curve.
>>
>>55991666
Why do memecoin miners have to ruin everything

>Have we been memed?
Please promptly kill yourself.

Most AIB 470 performs better at $200 than the reference 4GB 480. If you want a great card at $200 just buy one of the 470s with a ricer looking cooler.

I bought a 1060 for $250 from Zotac last night (the mini itx one), but I could have got a reference 8GB 480 at the same price. My choice came down to Freesync or Gsync and from all accounts it seems Freesync still has ghosting problems. I prefer AMD but if a product is worse, it's worse.
>>
Just use nowinstock.com like everyone else, it isn't that hard to snag any of the 10 series when you have email alerts
>>

that's bs my zotac gtx 1060 amp can reached 81-83 few times and while i'm playing w3 my temps are 77-80

Get a case that allows the GPU to intake fresh air directly from outside and a faster exhaust fan, the heat is building up in your case and it's not exiting fast enough.
>>
>>55990569
I can't find reviews of most of the single ones a[art from one of the EVGA single fan.
>>
>>55993350
I could get one right now and it's killing me to wait for the RX 480 nitro.

When the fuck are 10xx going to drop to retail?

>$450 for a mid range 1070

Why are people paying this amount? If you willingly get fleeced, why not just buy the 1080?

This. I have the money to buy rx480/1060 but the waiting game for restock is damn too much
