I read on a forum, and posted by a journalist, that AMD would have 8,000 cards at launch in the U.S., all reference designs.

I have no idea if it's true or not, and I don't know if eight thousand cards are a lot or not, but I though it was worth sharing it.

8,000 for the whole US sounds really low to me. That would probably sell out in less than an hour. I realize that Radeon 400 and Geforce 1000 are using new 14/16nm fabrication so yields will be really low at first, but dang, I wasn't expecting stock shortages this bad. Oh well, I won't be buying one until around November anyway, so there should be plenty of stock by then. 

It doesn't sound like a lot (at launch day), but that's still a lot more than what Nvidia had of their latest cards.

We'll see how are the shortages, but with the folks that will buy them for their mining farms, there could be some.

Not sure if I want to wait for Vega or Navi or just get four Radeon 480's.

Do you still have your eyefinity setup?
