RX 580...

[ElusiumClearley]

Can anyone explain to me why that RX 580 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XzrcCJ/powercolor-radeon-rx-580-8gb-red-dragon-video-card-axrx-580-8gbd5-3dhdoc is priced at 397.03 $, while others like https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KQQRsY/gigabyte-radeon-rx-580-8gb-gaming-8g-video-card-gv-rx580gaming-8gd priced at 450$..Is there some kind of a difference in gaming or in other things idk, if it's a 1-2 FPS difference then i shouldn't care at all but since there is so much price difference..

I dont see the Powecolor card having a price at all. And the Gigabyte version is $280, I don't get your point.

What do you mean ? The first link doesn't work , and the second one shows links for under 300$...

 

It used to be that cryptocurrency miners and high demand drove prices above 400$ , but that's pretty much stopped now

Next time make sure you clarify it then. But no, nothing is wrong with that card, your country has shit pricing, that's all.

$ CAD ? But no , there's no major performance difference . The price gap can be attributed to different coolers and boards , plus the various sales going on at a given point in time.

Miners bought up all the cards, inflating the prices, and this one apparently hasn't come down even though the mining craze has gone down.

I thought I did.... but it appears I skim read it. 

 

So the high prices are due to inflation, the difference in price is due to one being a name brand and the other being a lesser known and probably lower quality (though sometimes small brands are super good) brand.
