Never a truer word said! Once you go FreeSync, you never go back.

Or, my response in gif format.

So after much deliberation and turning my nose up at the 1070 deal today I've gone ahead and preordered a 4GB nitro.

It's quite nice looking back through my OCUK order history. I can see I got my case back in 2012 and then upgraded my GPU to a 280X from here in Jan 2014, so I think I can justify a £200 GPU upgrade. After all, the 280X was £240! Managed to get about £100 for it, too, which makes the upgrade even less painful.

I'm sure it's been poured over in here already, but the kitguru review clinched it for me.

Yep. Bout time i replaced my age old XFX 5870 (great card though). Hoping RX 480 will tide me over until Navi shows up, at which time i'll jump on freesync/HDR monitors.
 
When you get e-mail from OcUK thinking its confirmation that my 2 Nitros have been shipped....

but instead it is a newsletter about "30% off on this amazing mechanical keyboard! Check out our award wining systems featuring GTX 10 series GPUs!"

Im waiting for a reply to my webnote to see how many thousands of people are in the que before me :D Only pre-ordered on 22nd .But i have patience , will possibly buy another one after i have sold my old card :)
 
LOL,my Corsair SF 450W would probably be fine with a GTX980TI looking at those figures!! :p

Even with a Fury X or the Gigabyte GTX980TI with the big overclock with a Core i7 6700K at 4.4GHZ and if you take PSU losses into concern,that would probably mean around 320W drawn from the PSU.

Please, Please - could some of the users try overclocking these and do some benches?? I have been impatiently waiting for real results of the 8gb card - reviews of the 4gb are pointless to me!

I never would have thought when I decided I wanted a new graphics card 6 months ago it would have led to being part of a revolution, but here I am, an AMD fanboy now more than ever, diligently waiting for the gifts from my new overlords. Hire me and do what you want with my body AMD!
 
I've cancelled my pre-order and got a ref cooled one.

it's fine tbh, it does get hot at doom@1080p everything on max - 84c max, fan stopped at 59%

sits above 120fps 99% of the time.

I took it because my case is tiny(just long enough to fit the card and exhaust fan imo was better choice.

I ordered mine on the 25th. I'll post here when I receive notice so others who have ordered before/after me have an idea of timings :)

I'm not going to bother the team at OCUK, I can wait, after all it's just a toy :) It certainly feels like time stands still when you've placed a pre-order though. It's a bit like being a small boy again the night before Christmas!
