aside from everyones disappointment, is this a good card to replace a GTX660 @ 1080p and possibly some 1440p gaming infuture

Yes but I would wait and see what the GTX1060 has to offer.

4gb cards are a good value tho

Yep,the 8GB version seems stupidly priced especially if it is true the 4GB version is the same card.

LMAO.

Thanks AMD, I'm now really optimistic about Zen.

Massively underwhelming. Needs a 100MHz OC to match a 390X in most cases. So 3rd party cards are going to need to be 1500+ to be worth it.

4 gb is pretty good minus the cooler, so now comes the real question when we are going to get custom boards any info about that ? Seems with better cooler 4 gb can be right card for 1080

I said I would be disappointed if it wasn't at least on par with the 390X and I am disappointed indeed.

Seems solid but hoped the reference was a bit higher. Still excellent value and features. The reference cooler is very basic so still want to see an AIB model meeting closer or more often to 980 performance.

Clearly a "premium thermal with low profile components"

The 4gb is very good value. It's more or less on the same level as a 970, but has more vram, better price, newer tech.

Yep the 4gb 480 has more vram than the 4gb 970, nice maths there batman.

Seems alright to me, i'd pick one up if it wasn't for the stock cooler, so that's the only reason i'm holding off.

Why do people seem so concerned with power consumption/draw fwiw have i missed something other than having a capable power supply in this regard?

Its defo A GPU for the future, it will easy out last its competition.

You pretty much nailed it.... Exactly that.

It sits about where it's supposed to sit. Only issue is how far below or above the 1060 will be the key to it's success.

8GB Sapphire ordered

Me too....cant wait, I'm upgrading from a 280X Toxic that I sold for £140...so basically paid £80 for this upgrade

Shockwave · 29 Jun 2016 at 14:38

Doesn't make me hopeful for Zen or Vega. Wtf are AMD playing at?

Apache14 · 29 Jun 2016 at 14:38

If you take the 480 as it is and compare to a 380x its very good performance and the 4gb card is very well priced

I may get on 8gb one to replace my R9 290 while I wait for vega . . . . wonder how much ill get for that :|

Kelt · 29 Jun 2016 at 14:38

I'm getting a 404 on the 480 page.

The OCUK hamsters have officially gone on strike.

Long one from TTL

His vids would be 15 mins tops if he didn't start rambling and constantly repeat himself 4 or 5 times over.

Also got to love the nvidia commercial in the background, christ almighty. :eek:

Mayh3M · 29 Jun 2016 at 14:39

LOL I genuinely feed bad for humbug, he was so invested in this card!

The good news is that his GTX 970 is more powerful.

Tute · 29 Jun 2016 at 14:39

The 4GB is "okay" but only on account of the price.
