Is 199$ the real price first day ? I was thinking about spending 300$, but when they announced the geforce 1070 at 379$, I was like crazy, it's a little bit expensive for me, but it's kind of cheap for such performances... then in fact in happened there are only found editions... 450$... then I watch on my local (Japan or France) amazon... 550$ !

Yes, unlike the Nvidia cards this gen, so far the RX 480 has been selling for MSRP from reputable retailers (not 3rd party resellers). $199 for the 4GB model, $239 for the 8GB model. It is sold out right now though, so you have to get on a notify list so you know when they come back in stock.

Thanks a lot ! I will wait a little bit to see if the geforce get to the announced price, if not, I think I'm going for a RX480 8GB.
