RX480 retail selling premium

[profall]

Give it a few more weeks for suppliers to catch up. Paying the premium to get it right now is just not worth it in the long run.

Here where I am it is usual that they pump the price of all hardware, so referent RX 480 4GB is $300, so yeah..

I think the price of the cards is not economical to mine to get ROI. But if you wait for 470, by the time you get it, the difficulty will be 50% higher.

That is right. the difficulty is rising 40% of months at the moment. Are they the exisitng miners expanding?

The news might not be good.

waiting 2 more weeks should not be a problem..

If you buy the RX 480 in a month, the difficulty will rise 40%, that mean you will mine 40% fewer Ethereum.

It all depends on the difficulty rise. I reckon the rise will slow a bit now. As the 480 is destroying people's rigs.

In a few days, there will be a driver to tackle this problem. I just hope people will not suffer in between.

Official statement in response to PCIE power draw:

"As you know, we continuously tune our GPUs in order to maximize their performance within their given power envelopes and the speed of the memory interface, which in this case is an unprecedented 8 Gbps for GDDR5. Recently, we identified select scenarios where the tuning of some RX 480 boards was not optimal. Fortunately, we can adjust the GPU's tuning via software in order to resolve this issue. We are already testing a driver that implements a fix, and we will provide an update to the community on our progress on Tuesday (July 5, 2016)."
