Got my order in for the Powercolor Devil. If the cooler does its job properly the 1360+ core should give it a slight edge over other AIB and perhaps allow further clocking if they've designed thier overall PCB well.

If reviews aren't great I've got plenty of time to change my mind!!

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???

All day long this one.

Depends on what "extra" means. But...
Personally I recommend not to save money on PSU. You buy it for a long time. Maybe it will work (and should) in your PC when every other parts are already replaced.
So if you can afford buy the Gold.

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.

Memory clocked at reference/default speeds. So quite high hopes for these partner 480s and their overclock potential.

4gb Nitro for £199? Thats a cracking price. Sold. Should replace an ageing 7950 @ 1080p nicely.

Will there be any OC benchmark?

He said they'd only have a short amount of time for a couple of tests so I doubt it.

Ewaf · 21 Jul 2016 at 07:34

Will the 4GB suffice for a 1080p gamer who is coming from a 7950? Or is the extra for 8gb worth it?

Leaked

sweols · 21 Jul 2016 at 07:53

Thank god I went for the Nitro... Looks epic!

Sszaki · 21 Jul 2016 at 08:23

Something strange with those graphs. Why cards are changing color?

Number 1 = green
Number 2 = orange
Number 3 = yellow
etc.....

1420

Thats quite a boost from the stock speeds. Is that leak from a reliable source? Looks kind of photoshopped with the colours of the cards in the bar chart changing...

sweols · 21 Jul 2016 at 08:35

Probably easier for editing purposes

AA25 · 21 Jul 2016 at 08:47

Any opinions about the Gigabyte G1 RX 480? Haven't seen anyone mention it at all.

The leak could just be a fake. The Nitro+ has a boost clock of 1352MHz or similar so if the leak results are real they are for an overclocked card.

Amazing if true though.

That's a fair boost, it would be interesting to see what the temps and noise are. I would like one if it doesn't sound like a jet engine.

Sszaki · 21 Jul 2016 at 08:58

It will be quiet. Sapphire always is. Clock is possible. Results are possible. Never seen that cards change colors over different bench. Probably good troll.

Of course it is OC. There are 2 Nitro+ results in that chart and one of them is with 1420 Mhz.
