Hopefully it will bring some decent generational improvements. The only thing i'm not a huge fan of is the 45% price increase over lasts gen, which isn't even putting used or discounted cards into consideration
The last equivalent card was $112$172?
Edit: I've been corrected. That still seems incredibly low.
$249 is 45% more than $172.
Haha, you're right. Brain fart.
Original MSRP of the A770 was $330 so that is a big improvement. I assume intel is sticking with a reasonable launch MSRP to set expectations right.

The A580 launched at 175$+tax. We are not talking about the same card
...I completely forgot that was even a thing. It came out and nobody really cared. Only the 770/750 got love, and the a380 saw some appreciation for being the quicksync addon card.
Well regardless it's the same MSRP as the A770 post price drop, and still outperforms it.
