Just noticed this on newegg MSI RX 470 4GB for only $169.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137050Then there are also rebates for other 470s which add up to around ~$170 also. We sure all overpayed 2-3 months ago when we bought all ours.

I've been tracking prices and when they drop on parts I purchased in the last month I message newegg. They have given the difference back in gift cards with a 90 day expiration each time. This has helped with 290 and 480 purchases of mine.

Only 6Gbps RAM though. Most Rx 470 cards seem to have 7Gbps rated RAM.

Turns out they did this because Nvidia 1050 ended up being too cheap so they had to slash their prices. No better time to become a miner.

The Power Colour RX 480 is just $189. Is that a good card for mining the Etheruem or the ZCash?

any Rx 470 is good for mining to get good speeds you may need to mod the bios but any 470 is good . they all run about the same at stock or modded from what Ive noticed . ops the same for 480 my bad . forgot i listed 480 to sorry. power color are goods card i have owned a few in the past and still own a 280 by them . nice catch i didn't even see that 480 for 189, i may buy it . it just came out so we might see more 480 below or at 200. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131706#closehope it s still there Monday when my money clears in my bank .

Price for the 470 still seems the same as $170.00
Which is still an amazing deal since I paid close to $220 when they first came out with shipping.

they are trying to lower stock of 470s because AMD is not producing 470s anymore - they are producing 470D now which has lower power consumption... honestly if your going to buy a lot of 470's maybe its better to wait for the stores to get their 470D stock.............................. 470D is already released by AMD but most sellers wont get stock until they get their current 470 stock down

Incorrect. The 470D is only for Chinese market you dont get the lower power consumption models? just going off of what my supplier told me, so yeah I guess i dont know about the rest of the world but your really getting thrown under the bus if you dont get the lower power consumption models

I thought it was because of nv lowing prices but cool either way the price goes down.

What are the best GPUs for mining altcoins? isn't it odd that there are GPUs priced at $1000 and even more but when you benchmark them you'll see that for mining they are not worth a penny
