I thought with the RX 570 and 580 release the price would drop to move these off shelves...the fuck is this unholy bullshit?
For whatever reason old and new AMD stock and product always gets overpriced to shit. It's like AMD has no clue how to handle retailers fucking up their pricing.
That's not how supply and demand works, doofus. Or how it does in reality thanks to people actually shelling out $500 for a 480

What's wrong with the 5xx serie for mining? And gpu mining is inefficient now, isn't it?
Heard rx 400 series would have rice drop...may as well pick up a second one.
500 fucking dollars. Just how does this.shit even happen
>>60423902
Silly false flags and nvidia shills, you can find ridiculous pricing for anything. The price hasn't fallen like we wanted it to but it sure hasn't appreciated or everyone would be selling used rx 470s for $250 and getting a 580

>tfw msi rx 580 is cheaper than 570, 470 and 480 where i live
>mfw don't play gaymes so didn't buy
>>60424733

Ethereum (Ethash) mining
Ethash has one peculiarity, it mostly needs fast VRAM, not so much fast shaders. The RX 470 is nearly perfect for it.
so glad i got a 390x for 300usd back in the day

Find me a listing for an rx 470 8gb that's less than 250. I'll wait ass hole
>>60423902
They are the same cards.
I wanted to recommend a friend a RX470 / 570 but it seems they aren't avaiable here in Germany anymore. Only 580s...

GPU mining allows you to use off-the-shelf parts and is still viable depending on electricity prices and which coin you're mining.

Wish you pretendmoney fucks would die already.
