AMD’s RX 480 is now beginning to hit US stores. In quantities that are allegedly more than 20 times larger than GTX 1080 shipments at launch..
..yesterday a Microcenter branch in Overland Park Kansas revealed to a customer that they’re receiving a shipment of 100 RX 480 cards on the 28th of June. That’s exactly 25 times as many GTX 1080 cards the same branch had [at launch]..which was only four. We called the branch & confirmed. We were also told that their stock of GTX 1080 cards is currently limited...
Newegg has a 4GB Sapphire reference card listed (not for sale yet) -- along with 7 other make/models.
Rumor is that some stores are ALREADY have them "in the house". Some have not signed papers prohibiting sale prior to 29th. So, some cards may be available before June 29, the rumor monger speculates.
