Title: Is RX 570/580 out of stock in your country?
Post by: nikola_p on May 15, 2017, 08:13:16 PM
Hello everyone,

I was thinking of building second rig with RX 470 or RX 570 (or RX 480/580), but for two weeks straight I cannot find store which has them in stock here in Bulgaria. Some suppliers told me that the shipments for the next 2 months were already preordered. Is the situation same in the countries where you live?

The profitablility right now is good and there should be high demand for these cards but this should not be a suprise for the ones who sell them. Was it the same year ago?

I am not in a hurry but having to wait months to get cards is confusing me. Please share your thoughts.

USA here

Last year there was some shortages when rx 480 got released but that was mostly due to amd supply, it was no where as bad as it is currently.

but

Currently people have built up farms and a steady income so they can place massive orders and I think thats why the shortage is as bad as it is right now.  Currently you can see everyday thousands of new gpu's getting deployed on the network.

UK RX5xx are in short supply but RX4xx are pretty easy to get hold of, think with AMD actually being able to compete with Nvidia there getting hit from Miners and Gamers so demand is stretched.

Yup, it's mostly either out of stock or very overpriced.

Not for us in the US. Price severely gouged on both cards and nearly no rebates or discounts except on the lowest end 400 and 500 cards on Newegg. Miners are the primary demand I expect, as most gamers have already likely bought in the 400 series.

I suspect that at some point the suppliers will cope with the high demand. Currently the prices are sky rocketing and even if your setup is not optimized you get good profit.
