Amd likes to see his price cards inflated with price
Table of contents:
The A MD Radeon RX 400 and RX 500 graphics cards are extremely popular, but not exactly among video game players. It is the cryptocurrency miners who take them all, making players unable to access them or have to pay exaggerated prices in order to do so.
AMD promotes its cards with a price premium
An example of this we have in an XFX Radeon RX 570 model that went on sale with official prices for the 4 GB and 8 GB memory models of $ 169 and $ 199 respectively. The shortage of cards has made it seen by stores with a sale price of $ 279, which is about $ 100 above its recommended price and makes it lose all interest since it can be bought for little more a GeForce GTX 1060 that is more powerful and more efficient.
AMD has shown that it thinks little of the players by promoting this card for its current price of $ 279, it is true that it includes a coupon for "Quake Champions" but this is an extra addition that should not be a price premium, which is logical. It is clear that AMD is making a lot of money from cards that run out very quickly and does not care that players cannot access them.
AMD is not having a good time in the gaming card market and this attitude can make users decide to punish the company by not buying their cards when miners no longer want them.
