SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

I thought it was just the first 30 going out today?
The Nitro+ OC now has an ETA on the shop of the 12th August. Would be good to know if that's true...
This is for new orders, those who already ordered should see there card sooner than this.
ETA's updated as I literally just ordered an additional 3000 units of Nitro cards, infact the Sapphire Nitro 4G and 8G OC are as of now OcUK's pretty much top selling cards out of all graphics cards. Sapphire are absolutely over the moon with this level of success as are AMD.
But the Nitro at £199 and £250 is a serious incredible card that really just hits every mark, great looks, cool and quiet, tonnes of features, overclockable, great warranty. Gotta be one of the best all round cards of all time, absolutely nailed it!
Hope not but I'm not sure

'The Uprising'
Sapphire manage to get us more than the promised 30pc early delivery, it is now around 100 units which all being well should ship today. This 100 is mixed between 4G and 8G however.
Next lot just shipped today, which was a further 60-100 units and hopefully more will ship this weekend.
AMD are also aware that we have nearly 10,000 units of RX 480 on backlog, of which Sapphire accounts for over 50%, as such AMD are also moving more GPU to fulfill OcUK PO's.
We are now no.1 in the world for RX 480 sales on an end-user based level. Right now we are actually turning away mining orders on RX 480 to ensure it is gamers getting first dibs.
As mining is kicking off again on RX 480, but we are refusing to take orders until there is enough stock to cope with gamers and mining demand, gamers come first.
'The Uprising'
It really is, RX 480 is selling insanely well now, Sapphire with Nitro have nailed it and were finding the Powercolor Devil card to also be selling like crazy.
In the end it is what the market needs is competition!

Great news indeed, interesting that mining has taken off again, thought that was long dead and buried lol...
Im holding on for Vega, i am also toying with the idea of the TitanX when it comes, but it seems theres a lot of negativity towards its release...
Hopefully AMD can hit a homerun with the Vega cards when they arrive as well.

Optimistic my 8G is somewhere in todays batch then, being order #69
These are some impressive numbers for RX480. Even better that OCUK hit the ground running with this launch grabbing the stock it could

Highly possible, I just double checked we actually did get nearly 100pc on 8G OC and over 50 units on 4G.
Sapphire done great work as always prioritising stock for OcUK.
We are hoping they will ship from Asia this weekend for us.
OH, I really hope it arrives soon. The wait is horrible.

How do you know if people want them for mining ? I wouldn't mind picking up a 470 or 2 for mining if they are fast hehe. Nobody seems to have noticed gpu mining is profitable after all this time.
