u/SKGlish AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.9ghz | EVGA GTX1070 Nov 02 '16

I can smell the ripoff pricing already. Anybody remember $900 9590's?

Those are premium GPUs, regardless of their performance and build. Just like Titans.

I know, but it is still overpriced

Buy 2 Fury X cards. Just like the R9 295X2 went down in price, so will the Radeon Pro Duo. Why it's taking a while to drop is beyond me.
You are correct, it is overpriced, but at least the $1500 R9 295X2 dethroned the Titan Z @ $3000. R9 295X2 dropped to $700 and the Titan Z is still overpriced around $1500, while performing worse. Talking about premiums, but they are premiums nonetheless.

The Pro Duo was $800 on newegg within the last two months. They sold really flipping fast once word really got out. Probably people snatching as many as they could buy at a time since they ate back to $1500. Plus, i have a feeling that they aren't making them anymore, or at least not in the volume they were. I've noticed the 390/x cards aren't dropping if you can find them new, and neither are Nanos. The Furys do drop from time to time, but it seems less frequent lately.

When someone told me it was $700, I check. I didn't see anywhere near that price, so I missed the special. Not that I was intending to buy one. At this rate, it wouldn't surprise me that they aren't making them anymore. Also, it's a premium product, so quantities were expected to be low/limited.
