Wait so are you ordering from the US? Because I am too and I was assuming mine is getting shipped later because it's worldwide shipping. But if that isn't the case I'm about to get really angry

They've put you to the back of the list, like Obama said he'd do to the UK
if we left Europe

Anyone here order from USA and got a consignment number but nothing showing up on dhl worldwide express when you track?

I got an email on Friday 7am that goods are shipped. But not sure how dhl works in the uk. Do they ship in the weekend? Or should I expect it to ship out on Monday?

Sszaki · 13 Aug 2016 at 20:43

Just if someone is interested.

Got almost stable 60fps in No Man's Sky at maximum details and 1440p

Most likely it will not ship out until Monday ...i do not think the free delivery option covers weekend?Or did you pay for something extra?

Lucky you! I am like the rest... White screen crash, waiting for updates... And now waiting for this new card that supports NMS. my old hd5770 is not working or not supporting opengl 4.5, just hope my i5 760 is not a problem either...

Thank you for clearing up a bit of my concern. I did not pay any extra, but shipping was about £25 international. So I guess I wait till Monday for updates. Thanks

Sometimes when lot of new stuff must be loaded. I would say its game problem not hardware, they just need to fix few things. But overall very smooth experience. And with new drives card is bit cooler and quieter.

Did You try to turn game on with borderless option and no max fps vsync? Or it just crash on start?

There is still no stock of this card? Did anything come? Or ppl are ordering like crazy(just dont want to go through last 20 pages)?

kmax86 · 13 Aug 2016 at 20:52

Are we expecting the stock to normalize soon now that the preorders are getting fulfilled?

Think gibbo said that all of the pre orders will be cleared with the next shipment next week

Quick question, would a nitro +OC crossfire with a msi reference model? I found a cheap one online and wondering if I am able to crossfire them. Or would that be a bad idea even if they are able to crossfire?

I am able to start the game. Galaxy loading in the beginning and as soon is about to start the game it goes to white screen and then it crashes to desktop. I will try the other solutions tonight to see if it works.

That should work fine, assuming reasonable ventilation in the case. The reference card should also serve the purpose of exhausting hot air out of the case.

Got mine, nice card. Not very impressed with temps but I knew that going in.

This was one of the reasons I paid the extra to get the XFX GTR when it came into stock, instead of waiting longer for a Nitro. I'd seen strip-downs of both models and the XFX has copper block and heat pipes, but I think the Nitro only has a copper slug, everything else is aluminium. FWIW I'm getting about 10c lower temps at load and idle than benchmarks are showing for the Nitro.

Hmmm might change my order then, PC is going to be in a smallish room and gets warm quite easily,

Is it easy enough to switch on ocuk Using Amazon payments?

It won't change how warm the room will get.

If the 2 cards use the same power they probably have the same heat output, so will heat a room pretty much the same amount - even if one stays at a lower temperature with a better cooler. If anything the XFX could heat the room slightly faster as it's more efficient at moving heat from the gpu to the surrounding air.

edit: though yes a card keeping 10c cooler could be the difference between throttling or not throttling with the card in a hot room if that's what you meant.

Stephenh313 · 13 Aug 2016 at 23:49

Yeah was meaning the warm room might affect the card, don't think I made that clear in my initial post haha

MattyD242 · 14 Aug 2016 at 00:25

Not sure about changing orders with Amazon, I didn't bother pre-ordering myself because I'd seen all the fuss in this thread before deciding it was time to buy a new GPU.

Here's the stripdown of the Nitro: OverClockers Club

versus the XFX GTR: Overclock3D

Whether it's worth the extra £15 is debatable. 480s just run hot it seems, and even my card gets a thrum on when I'm playing Doom.

My Nitro + OC is real loud in anything demanding. So the GTR is also a little loud in games?
