AMD Radeon RX 480 South African pricing revealed

The South African pricing for the AMD Radeon RX 480 has been revealed.

 

[Brandvester94]

R6000 is probably the price of some of the Custom boards, the reference card should hopefully cost a little less.

 

[hideinlight]

R30 a dollar?

 

[Glordit]

I'm looking at the RX 470 probably so will be around R 4000 for the 4Gb model and R 4500+ for the 8Gb.

Other than that those prices are F*cking ridiculous!

 

[Deceptor]

I'd rather import one from Amazon. I'm not gonna pay anywhere near R6000 for the RX480 8GB.

 

[blaaislaai]

R6k.. that is a bit disappointing. was expecting R5k

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Bloody hell that's expensive for a $250 card... Still, good performance for around R6k.

 

[Stefan9]

Ridiculous price. S.A. consumer getting ripped like usual.

 

[The Joker]

Well this wasn't expected but the main reason for the pricing is as follows.

The $199-$229 pricing that has been doing the rounds is only for North America.
Our suppliers are buying these cards at roughly $260-$300.
Unfortunately we don't really matter to AMD/Nvidia. The market is small so we can't really expect to be paying, North American pricing.

ouch...

still waiting on official benchmarks before I decide anyways
