Does the 64 come with 2 or 3x PCI-E power sockets? The OcUK picture shows 2 but the reviews and the manufacture's website shows 3 and says it requires a 850w PSU. I may have to cancel my order.

The one with the triple eight-pin connectors is the Nitro+ Limited Edition. This is a slightly cut down version of that card and only has two eight-pins. It's also lacking the vapour chamber and RGB lighting from the limited edition version.

The Sapphire Nitro+ 480 I have in my system right now is hot and very, very loud. Stupidly loud, in fact. I'm not sure if it's just a poorly made card (Sapphire are a bit "budget" of the AMD brands...)

The 480 Nitro was a rare misfire on Sapphire's part, released with a tiny heatsink and built down to a price (perhaps reflective of AMD's market position at the time). The 580 Nitro was a big improvement, with a much beefier heatsink and more heatpipes. I'm not sure where the perception of them being a "budget" option comes from really. Sapphire are generally considered the best option for AMD cards. They've made some ridiculously-good coolers (and custom PCBs) for challenging chips like Hawaii and Fiji (and Vega). The Vapor-X cards were without equal in their day and the Nitros have generally been worthy successors, the 480 aside.

Sapphire has dropped the 3rd 8pin as not needed. My Nitro bought in June has only 2 8-pins. The 3rd was used for the LED apparently.

Mines shipped!! Replacing a 1080FE with it, can't wait to get Freesync back

Welcome to the club :D

Yeah moved from 1080Ti to Vega but gained Freesync again, and haven't looked back.
I rather have nice and smooth 110ish FPS with FS than 150fps and everything looking like a very fast slideshow. (1080Ti is great card, if paired with gsync).
 
Confirmed you need a Vega OR 590 to redeem the codes :(

Not sure if once you redeem the coupon though that you get separate game codes as one is registered on Uplay and the others via steam

It looks that way, my 380 Nitro was a great card, ran very cool and quiet. I'd agree that Sapphire and Powercolor are generally considered to be the AMD partners. All my best AMD cards have been either Sapphire or PC.

A few years back I was given an AMD bundle voucher, despite not having the hardware.........basically, when going to redeem, it asks what hardware you have, and your selected answer from the drop down needs to match up with the product that the code came with.

Nah the checker checks your machine to see if you have a 590 or Vega installed however post that check I think you get the codes which you manually input into steam etc, so at that point you could flog the codes Im sure
 
Thanks for posting this, just pulled the trigger on the Vega 56 to upgrade my GTX 770 which has served me flawlessly albeit on older, less demanding games.

Apologies for the noob first post but my PC spec is below, just checking if you guys think it will be too much of a bottleneck for this card?

Intel i7-4790 3.60GHz LGA1150 Haswell
MSI GEForce GTX 770 OC 2GB DDR5
8GB RAM (Kingston 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600 (11-11-11 timing) DRAM)
MSI B85I Gen 4 LGA1150 Mini ITX motherboard
Antec ISK600 Mini ITX Shuttle Case
Antec Earthwatts EA-550 Platinum low noise PSU

Thanks guys.
 
For info the Division 2 account is Uplay the other 2 are steam, I *think* you can straight up sell the steam codes once you redeem the voucher, the Uplay Division 2 code I think gets tied to the AMD rewards account you setup so in that instance make a disposable account your happy to sell on if selling Division 2
