RX 480 seem to be selling like hot cakes.

What makes you think this is even an option?

With enough money, anything is possible in business.

Really? consider that TSMC will deliver ALWAYS the supply issues. nVIDIA might have not so much chance this time.

nVIDIA should tought to ally with Intel and use their fabs in order to deliver the most powerful chip ever made... with highest ammounts ever. With that AMD couldn't stood a chance.

Tbh it's more likely AMD go bust and Intel picks up the Ati part of AMD. Assuming Intel kept the high end gpu business going that would be the best thing for consumers as with the Intel fabs and money Ati would be more than able to compete. I bet the Ati part of AMD would like that too - not being saddled to the rest of AMD, it's debts and it's stupid wafer agreement would be amazing.

With that in mind it we could really do with AMD going under faster, the longer it hangs on the more behind Ati will get and the less likely it will be that anyone will pick them up and keep the desktop gpu business going.

I like how after 5 pages this optimistic topic changed into wishing amd sudden death and preparing to celebrate with the hour countdown timers.:thumbsup:

So day 1 that store moved 630 units?

 

[littleg]

25% of the volume in 3% of the time. Seems like a result for AMD to me.

What does this mean for you?

Yup, looks like a very successful launch for AMD.

Seems that it is getting stuck. Bad markets for AMD... they should started in LATAM instead of Europe.

Crazy amount of 1080 pre orders. Why is it so popular? It's only 20% faster than a custom 980Ti.

No they moved 350 sapphire branded 480's, but had 630 orders for it. Probably sold other brands as well.

Tells me NV is making a freaking fortune! JHH is gonna buy a Porsche to drive around on his yacht!

Also on the earlier comment, if NV teams up with Intel - I can dig it!

Though I'd prefer Intel buy the ATI Patents from AMD and just destroy both AMD and Nvidia in one go, but beggar's can't be choosers haha.

630 cards in one day is pretty impressive.

On this note, I am closing this thread as the discussion turned into another AMD vs Nvidia thread. I will say this again for the repeat offenders, after this post, I will be handing an immediate 2 point infraction along with a 30 day ban in the VC&G forum.

If you continue to derail threads such as this one, you will be gone for 30 days from this forum with requirement to petition in the Moderator Discussion thread. The announcement of this warning has been up since early June, there is no reason you shouldn't be abiding by the rules by now.
