I'm still angry that I paid as much as I did for a RX 390x about 4 months before they launched the new cheaper models.

I'm gonna guess that Canada still gets shafted in AMD GPU prices?

Well, if you compare the pricing of a 1060 and RX 480, the 1060 ends up becoming cheaper (EVGA's 1060 blower is $275 CAD while the cheapest RX 480 is $310). Can't help but wonder if green team fanboyism is jacking up those prices.

Well yeah but let's compare non reference to non reference here

Okay, my bad: $305, no rebates or weekly specials [url]http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-radeon-rx-480-dual-fan-72-135128.htm?promoid=1947[/url] (This was the cheapest 480 at the time i purchased my 1060)

Point is, Trudeau is an nVidia fanboy.

Would it be worth upgrading from the r9 290 to this?
that price is looking tasty
