I have that card too but i think it was closer to 500 when i bought it. I felt like i got a terrible price but it was better than what folks after me had to deal with. Itcs still a great card and i hope it outlasts this crazy price gouging.

Mine was literally the last in stock before prices went wild when covid started. I was using rx480 and didn't really need to upgrade until Gamers Nexus published a video about GPU shortage.

My hope right now is for AMD to keep improving on FSR so this card can stay viable for more years.
