These have been bouncing between 250-280 for the past two weeks or so. Plus, they're going out of stock fairly quickly, so I don't think it'll drop much more in the very near term. I think this is pretty much what you're going to pay.

If you're looking for a great 1080 card, this is it. It can even handle 1440 (but not on ultra) pretty darn well. Personally, I think it's the best value out there right now.

I got one from Newegg Black Friday. I was concerned about some of the reviews of it being noisy and hot, and especially since it carries a no refund policy. Other than the mostly plastic build quality, no real issue with it. It's not that loud, and I've never noticed mine reaching 70c (average core temp; hotspot max is higher but that's to be expected) even when benchmarking and stress testing. Ambient temp is 19c and my case has a lot of mesh so YMMV but it's not a very hot card. Once the fans ramp up it stays in the 50s. TJmax is 110c and it never gets remotely near that.

For anyone interested in tweaking from the AMD software, I was able to do an undervolt to 1160mv, enable memory Fast Timing, and OC the core to 2800, all providing a nice bump in performance and reduced temps. I found that increasing the memory frequency can actually hurt your performance because it's causing extra error correcting in the VRAM. Also, same thing goes for going too high on the core frequency. The system won't always crash but it's still losing performance because it's unstable. I spent a few hours the other night playing with it and benchmarking with Heaven and Time Spy to find a decent sweet spot

If your system supports it, make sure to enable ReBar in your BIOS and then Smart Access Memory in the drivers for extra performance as well.

Maybe a little, but these are reasonably priced right now. Perform about the same as a 2080.

You would be going to 2080 comparable power. Whether that is enough is up to you.

Some benchmarks

I ordered 2 of these over the weekend as Christmas gifts. The game bundle states 1 per customer. Newegg support confirmed that there is actually no limit and you will get a separate bundle with each gpu.

Will the stock market dictate the pricing of these GPUs? How would the mass afford high prices?
Sorry I don't understand the question.

This one has been surprisingly very available recently. I hesitated getting for a few days and ended up ordering it a couple of days ago. Cancelled quickly after when I realized this is a "no refund" item: between the reports of it being noisy, and more deal still being possible, I did not want to get stuck with it. I hope similar ~250 deal will pop up on card which have detailed reviews.

Is this a good card to replace a NVIDIA GTX650 from like 10 years ago? I really want two 4k monitors but the current card won't support it.

What are you doing? 4k gaming? No, this isn't the card. Great for 1080. Capable at 1440 (but not on ultra)

Oops really just for light photo and video editing and spreadsheets. My custom desktop is over 10 years old.
My dual screen monitors right now are hooked into my desktop and my work laptop. I wanted to use dual 4k monitors. My work laptop works but my desktop doesn't have the video output (just dvi).
