Are you able to reveal the specs gibbo?

They are on webshop, though it does have two modes:

Quiet: 1266MHz boost, fans on lowest profile, essentially silent in this mode.
Boost: 1342MHz boost, fans spin faster, still quite though.

The LED options are impressive, blue, rainbow, pick any static colour, temperature mode, fan speed mode and off.

Come on Vega hurry up....

Will you be posting the bench results in here or a new thread?

I am a bit confused now. There are two versions of a 8GB Nitro, now called Nitro+ for £239.99 and a Nitro+ OC for £249.99. I ordered a 8GB Nitro OC a few weeks back, so what that extra "+" stands for? Sorry if asked before.

Pre-ordered nitros (for £250) from before when the other two got added (non OC and 4gb) are now Nitro+ OC cards.

Nitro (last gen) vs Nitro+ (Rx 480) most likely is just to differentiate the different generations of the Nitro branding.

They are all Nitro+, 4G, 8G and 8G OC. All pre-orders are for the fastest 8G OC part and that is what customers shall get.

If you can answer
What part of card is illuminated? Sapphire logo? Backplate?

Well i know the Logo does, don't know about the BP.

I think the performance will be similar to this xfx

Impressive but not 1060 level.

Gibbo can you also try and get Powercolor to send you a card to Unbox and bench for PR?

JustEner · 20 Jul 2016 at 18:47

Then what level?

Its pretty much dead on 1060 level, and the 1060 is running at 1900Mhz+

Sszaki · 20 Jul 2016 at 19:28

those 1060 are OC nicely huge performance improvment. Huge hopes for 480

BTW today by end of the day we will see the performance increase or tomorrow?

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 20 Jul 2016 at 20:04

That is the average clockspeed for the reference RX480 - if the Sapphire can hold its 1342MHZ boost state,that is around a 14% increase in clockspeed.

Whats the VRAM clockspeed? On most of the overclocked 480's, the VRAM makes quite a bit of difference, even more so than core speed.

According to Gibbo earlier in the thread it will arrive at OCUK end of next week, so should be with us (customers) the Monday after.

Quick! I'm going to get the Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC... which PSU should I get?

Seasonic M12II EVO 520 or Seasonic M12II EVO 650 (Bronze)?
or should I pay extra and go with the Seasonic X650 (Gold)?

It says that the card has a TDP of 175w and that only a 400w PSU is required. I only have an i3 6100 CPU right now but I plan to upgrade it to a 6700K in the future. Thoughts???
