Found this resource the other day.. it works like a charm, gave me a notification on Best Buys stock 1 minute before the page actually said in stock. Seeing as a lot of people want the 480 and it's hard to source thought some of you could make use of this. Just turn on in stock alarm, leave on your volume, and wait :D

Who the fuck is still thinking they can make any kind of profit from GPU mining? It's been near 3 years since that shit was even remotely profitable, and even if you think you will make a profit from converting simpler coins there are FPGAs on the market that are 50x faster then a GPU and cost a quarter as much.
No, the demand stripped the supply because the card hits a strong market with its price. If the card cost $300 it would be in stock still.
Dude just Google search it, there's piles of them being used for mining. People are retards

AFAIK there are some "asic resistant" cryptocurrencies where GPUs are still needed. Can't say how profitable such investment would be though.
They are mining Ethereum, a currency with about the profitability outlook that LTC had in 2014. Even for the cheap RX 470 the payoff is over 2 months and that's if the electricity is free. This is some stupid shit.

I resemble that remark.
Watched nowinstock religiously for 2 weeks to score one.
Hardest I've ever worked to buy hardware.
Crypto Mining Blog did an Ethereum mining overview of the RX 480 and found it to be drawing almost exactly 150W @ 24MH.
