Hardware Sales - RX 460 for $100, RX 470, GTX 1060 3GB, & R9 Fury

It’s a great weekend for buying graphics cards, as AMD is dropping prices in preparation for the release of the GTX 1050. Today is the day those price drops take effect, although third-party manufacturers may drag their feet a bit. Some AIB partners are already offering discounts on the RX 460 and RX 470 cards, especially Sapphire.

SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 460 2GB ($100): MSRP for the RX 460 is now $100, and Sapphire Tech has wasted no time dropping their card’s price to match. This sale only lasts a few more hours, but it’s a safe bet that the price become permanent in the near future, making this a safe buy for budget builds. We reviewed the RX 460 here.

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 470 4GB ($190 with promo code AMDRX47481): $190 is above even the previous MSRP of $180, but for some reason it’s still hard to find an RX 470 below $200. It’s worth keeping an eye out for additional 470 deals, especially once the GTX 1050 actually launches. Both the 10% off sale and the promotional code expire Monday.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB ($190 after rebate): Good sales aren’t limited to AMD. 3GB of memory may sound a bit low, but check out the neck-and-neck outcome of our GTX 1060 3GB vs RX 480 4GB benchmark, and then consider that this card is even cheaper than most 480s. This discount ends on Thursday, but it should retain the $20 rebate.

SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 Fury 4GB ($270): One final Sapphire card, but this time with a $110 discount. This is not the top-of-the-line Fury X, which compared unfavorably at launch in our tests against the GTX 980 Ti, but it’s also amazingly cheaper than its X(-treme?) sibling. Our complaints with the Fury X stemmed partially from its $650 MSRP, and this is well below that price point.

Check back this week for our 1050 and 1050 Ti reviews.
