Before RX 480 existence GTX 970 used is within RM1200+ territory whilst used GTX 980 still hover around RM1600+.
You would still be paying these price if not because to RX 480, so how can you call it a disappointment when it is the main cause of these massive price drop?

Even if you dislike how RX 480 turned out, you could at least appreciate what it did to the market.

It doesn't change the market....yet here you are stating that you can get used GTX980 for RM1300 and GTX 970 for RM1000...
May I ask you one thing dear fellow LYN forumer, how much is the asking price of these used graphic cards used just a mere a month and a half ago?

I am a consumer, I don't give a fuck what or which company do as long as I benefit from either of them.
So please spare me these disappointments of yours and focus on the fact.

both Nvidia.
e.g gtx 1070 and gtx 750ti, one is faster but more expensive, another is cheaper but slower 

price points exist for a reason. gtx 1060 will maybe also be around 970/980 performance.
the fact is amd brought the level of performance down to the 200usd price point is what people are exited about.
Had Nvidia done this first, people would be congratulating nvidia instead.

Wow..just when Im planning to change to new card..the 'sweet spot' cards are battling it out like crazy.

BTW

I was considering to buy 1070 before, but due to budget constraint, It seems that the cards have been priced WAAAAYY HIGHER than those in the US.

So just when I decided to downgrade my cards to RX480 and past NVIDIA maxwell cards, VULKAN and DX12 happens.

Regardless we already know now NVIDIA cant keep up to fully utilize Async Compute, so for budget gamer like me, ASyc Compute is like a blessing from the heaven. And RX480 (and ALL AMD cards) tramples over ALL NVIDIA cards (of course after matching the price point and targeted models) except Pascals.
Now they said GTX 1060 would fight head to head with RX480, and with overly high mark up price for cards in Malaysia, I dont think a mid performance cards would sell well at RM 1.4-1.5k, thats just ridiculous..

So back to my situation, RX 480 seems to be a good choice, but when you factor in a used R9 390x cards...dude..its getting wayyy more complicated.

Since I re set my budget to RM 1.5k, any suggestion for 1080p cards? I want to set the games to ALL ULTRA setting.

now im stuck with Used R9 390x and new RX480. Since NVIDIA MAxwell GTX 900 already obsolete. I would prefer for a more future proof cards.

What happened ? Very low fps ?

hey guys, is gigabyte gaming g1 gtx1070 for rm2,038.12 ok or not?
