Bad deal for the price at $549. I find it funny how people moan and cry over Nvidia on every front and AMD rewards them with $549 MSRP for a single GPU. Where is your knight in shining armor now? Financing its failed processor segment I am assuming. I should know, I have a few machines with AMD processors.
Now if they are more reasonable on the midrange they will still do fine but $549 prices them out of the reasonable category considering its probably $50 to make the card.
If it's about 20% faster then a 580 be it overclocked or stock then what should the price be for the fastest single card offering a few other features? Well, for the next 6 or so months... Then we will see what the competition does.
