The new family of Radeon Series has a high enough Hashrate with a super cheap price. How not RX 480 appreciated $300 and has Hashrate 40MH / s (OC). Also RX 480 is not wasteful of electricity like the previous family R9 Series. RX 480 also has a good performance in terms of Gaming, so no loss has RX 480.
But it is hard to buy RX480, it is out of stock most of the time...
Ditto. The used ones on eBay are still selling over the MSRP of new units at the time of their release.
I've seen Fry's have a few open-box/refurbished RX480s, but unfortunately, none of them have been available at stores remotely close to me. (Nearly always in Texas, for some reason, and for in-store pickup only.)
