AMD Cuts All GPU Prices Including R9 Fury X, Fury And Nano – Down To As Low As $569, $499 And $549 Respectively

[Notional]

Are you hinting at something?  B)

 

Just that it's an added bonus to sweeten the deal even more ​

[don_svetlio]

Are you hinting at something?  B)

can I have one?

[SurvivorNVL]

can I have one?

Vultures.  The lot of you!  I should just hold a raffle.  I'm not too excited about Battlefront from some of the stuff I am seeing of it.

Who says I am? Not dropping money on that crap.

[Belgarathian]

Must...resist...hold out...till Pascal...or Arctic Islands...

I know what you mean, I just got SLI 970 on a 1440p ultrawide. Some of my games make the pair cry.... Next time around I'm buying the best single GPU card money can buy and downsizing my case (900D at the moment) 

[Khvarrioiren]

Finnish retailers are still asking 649,00€ from Fury Tri-X.  :wub:

 

And they have literally zero intention to change that. Gladly we still got the German E-shop we're both familiar with.

What a good time to...

have no money to buy my new pc.

[Dabombinable]

Rekt NVIDIA

 

In terms of gtx 980

The GTX 980 already got rekt by the GTX 970. 16% more performance for over 16% the price.

[patrickjp93]

just buy dual Furys and enjoy damn good performance for a few years...

Nope, 4GB frame buffer isn't nearly enough. I'm getting 16GB

Yeah honestly I don't know why anyone would want a case much bigger than a BeQuiet! 800 for a single-rig build. Enthoo Primo is about as big as I'd ever want to go.

[RagnarokDel]

anyone feeling like doing a price to performance with updated prices?

[Notional]

Man, Black friday has rekt all danish online electronic stores. They are pretty much all down!

 

Did manage to see an ASUS 970 (with the shitty white blower fan) for about the price of a 380/380x.

 

Let's hope nice AMD prices are coming.

[Jerakl]

You can get a 980ti for as low as 589 (no rebate) so....

Here in Canada they start at ~950$.

Fury X is ~900$.

 

Damn CAD. Why you gotta be so low

[RagnarokDel]

Not really. Let's be honest here: on equal performance per dollar grounds, AMD will always loose. There's just currently too much bias against AMD from reviewers, from the public in general, etc. The only chance they have at moving cards is undercutting: worst margins are better than warehouses of unsold products.

 

More over, margins are not everything they're highly dependant on your sales volumes: it's why publishers and devs make more money during steam sales and such than at normal retail price: a tiny margin on 100k units it's a lot better than a large margin on 10k units

Your example is flawed when it's something that isnt physical. Selling 10 copies of fartcry 5 at 60 dollars or selling 10 copies of it at 30$ is virtually exactly the same. The only cost difference is the bandwidth cost. That's not the case for a physical product.

[Morgan MLGman]

RIP GTX 980

[Vivilacqua1]

I only hate that the fury x is not available in full size, because if I wanted an and card, and had the money for the fastest, it would annoy mw that it was in a large atx system.

Honestly.... I didn't think it was going to be that big. I love the cable management and space behind the MB tray, but it's just Huuuuuuge. Looked okay with XFire 280Xs in there, but now I have the mini EVGA 970s it looks a bit funny. 

 

I'm thinking of something like an INWIN 909 or decent looking mid tower. Would love a case with a 360mm rad mount and a separated PSU space (so I can hide horrible cable management.)

The guy from techoftomorrow has 2 of them in a Corsair 900D :lol:​

It's not flawed, you misunderstood what he was saying. A manufacturer might have a price they want to sell a product, but at the end of the day, the market determines what the price is.

 

Let's say it costs you $10 to make a physical copy of a game, and you intend to sell it for $60. Let's say at that price, only 10 people are interested in the game and are willing to pay $60 for it. Other people might feel, the game is good, but not $60 good. You will only make a $500 profit if you kept it priced at $60.

 

Now if you lowered it to $30, and you got 50 people who now say they are willing to pay that much for the game, your profit is now $1000. Obviously, you as the manufacturer, would have preferred if you sold 50 copies at $60 each, but selling 50 copies at $30 is a lot better than selling 10 copies at $60.

[AlwaysFSX]

Wahwah, less profit. Boo.

I already addressed that: digital copies involve little distribution costs (but in fact far from none as you describe: you failed to address the fact that Valve or whatever store gets a cut of the sale, always) but also the discounts are far greater than what we're talking about here.

And your reasoning is flawed because manufacturers sell it at the optimized profit price anyway. Anyone who took microeconomics would be able to zero in on it for a given product as long as market data is known.

[Guest Kloaked]

Umm no: I just when over why that is not always the case, specially in the case of a weakened company like AMD facing strong resistance. But since you basically responded to none of the points made and just reiterated your opinion as if it was an absolute economical fact, I'll just move on.

 

No, I get what you're saying.

 

"Only thing I get is the whole not wanting warehouses full of stock when you could have sold it all for a little less profit. But still, this early on? They must have a lot still in stock." is exactly what I said in my other post.

 

I'm just saying if they were able to sell all of their stock at the previous price, they're losing out on more profit. This is all coming from the company that doesn't want to be known as "the cheaper option" - yet here they are apparently forced to cut prices.

 

I don't see how a company can just survive like this by just cutting so close to breaking even.

[Misanthrope]

They're betting heavy on Zen and future GPUs. You're right that in an of itself it's not a sustainable model, but I never said that it was their only strategy. I was only talking short term they need to get cash in and bet they can recover with future products and such. 

Not saying Zen will save them, but I remember using AMD processors since the late 90s when the K6-II was just a poor's man Pentium III but they eventually caught up and surpassed intel. That kind of thing resonates and as a company they're likely more than a little inclined to think they can do it again and also do it to Nvidia.

I strongly believe that Zen will help AMD's finances.
