Looks like the RX 400 series is closing out. $15-40 rebates

I was just checking prices on cheap GPUs and saw this RX 460 2GB for $69.99 after rebate and thought I would share. If they were low profile, I'd buy two of them right now.

EDIT: It looks like nearly all the RX 460, 470, and 480 GPUs are $15-40 off after rebate! An RX 480 with a copy of Doom for $149.99 is a pretty sweet deal!

Wow, that's crazy. Didn't these cards just come out a few months ago? Usually AMD's video cards have an 18 month lifespan, so it seems too early for them to be replaced now.
 
Cant find them at that price yet. Newegg has a 4GB RX 480 for $159.99 after rebate. But to be fair, there was a $149.99 deal from Jet.com a few weeks ago, but it had some "first time Jet.com user" condition to it.

They came out June 2016, so 9 months ago, but you couldn't get any because of the mining rush. Funnily enough ETH prices are through the roof again, but the card prices are still falling. Newegg email from this morning had Asus Strix 480 8GB at $200, solid deal if you want top tier 480 card.

Crypto mining with video cards is still a thing? I thought that ASIC mining made that unprofitable years ago.

Only for certain cryptos. BT mining is all ASIC now. However, some algorithms require a lot of memory and/or high memory bandwidth, these are very hard to adapt to ASICs. ETH for example is still video card mining only, and quite profitable given the $50 price.

ETH & ZCash both still seeing some mining enthusiasm. It looks like ETH might move over to a Proof-of-Stake model and thus limit mining gains. The timeline for this change over is not yet announced.
