When Jarred first reviewed AMD’s RX 480, I was anticipating a new age for budget builds. The RX 480’s good performance coupled with its $200 MSRP made it ideal low-cost systems. There’s just one problem: You can’t find the card for that price right now.
Right now, it’s hard to find the card in stock. Even if you can, the card is being marked up. Newegg lists plenty of 480s at the suggested price, but stocks are sold out. Amazon lists 480s in stock, but they’re selling for $300 or more. With prices like that, the GTX 1060 starts to look like a lot better deal, even with its higher price. It just sucks that folks on a budget are getting the short end of the stick right now.
