I think we are going to see crazy deals on cards like this on Black Friday.
I agree on "crazy deals" but this is a BIG mistake by AMD.
Fury- Overpriced, masses angered, all but most deranged fan boys buying 980 Tis in aftermath.
3XX series- is the 2XX, and 7XXX, series and had a 22% sale rate last quarter. That will only get worse as these ancient retreads now supposedly justify much higher prices, because they are....older?
AMD "could" have had a smash hit at $550, and weathered the re-brand better, but instead opted to try to loot and pillage.
When your brand is synonymous with "second tier" or "second class", you're not in a position to loot and pillage. intel can do that, NVIDIA can do that, AMD "should" have figured out they were not in that position with the disastrous FX9590 "fastest CPU" ever launch.
It seems like AMD is run by kids these days.
