That's where I am too, and I think the answer is "not much".

i am really tempted on one of these, how do they compare to a 1080 as £600 is a lot of money (before code)

They are £278.99 and £299.99 to you, not £600!

A 1080 is quite a bit faster and we have those on offer at £488.99 onwards.

ok ive looked at a lot of benchmarks against the 1070, as i have a Freesync monitor running 1080p @ 144HZ, would it be better to get the RX 580 over the faster 1070?

'Gain'?? Not much if anything, esp in DX12 where Hawaii is stronger. You'd be mad to.

My 1070 runs like crap compared to the Fury X on my Freesync screens - there's a world of difference =(

That is interesting, might be worth me getting a golden sample one then ?

Either that, or wait to see wait RX Vega brings. Or go green and buy Gsync screens.

ShiWarrior · 30 Jun 2017 at 17:51

my screen is 6 months old, not changing that

Read up about using a Nvidia card on a Freesync monitor, and i think its safe to say, get the AMD as the monitor wont sync to the GPU if it slows down (from 144HZ in my case), and thus tearing will appear , is that correct?

Can someone remind me how much these cards were on release?

I could have sworn they were nowhere near £500-£600.

They're only a re-badged 480 right?

ShiWarrior · 30 Jun 2017 at 18:10

ordered my Golden Sample, thank you Gibbo and OcUK

ETA End of July ? Sold out already ?

Aorus XTR was £280 on release and that was a beast with twin 8 pin connectors , and I believe the most costly along with the Strix riding close to £300.
As @Gibbo warned before their launch would be more then the 480 which he dropped to £200 at the time...

Yeah I can see why they would be more now than at release given the circs you outline, but double?

I thought I was seeing things when I saw this thread with 580's at £600. Just checked the 480's and the only one they're selling on pre-order is £450!

Demand is high from miners as OCUK out the price high then add voucher code to make it just above price for the Gamers

Gibbo Will you offer some sort of AMD deals like this in the future?
Thank you

With RX580 back orders running to thousands of units across all retailers, doubt it. But you never know

Gibbo always pulls miracles

peterhc · 6 Jul 2017 at 18:22

Deals like that on 1080 Ti ? ^.^ looking to get 2nd

Cheapest 8GB 480 was 240-260 on release.

The 580 8GB was a bit more IIRC, even tho it's just a re-branded card. But I seem to remember the 580 being 250-280 on release. I thought *that* was too much for it

At £600? ROFLBBQ.

It's £280 for the factory overclocked one or £299 for the very factory overclocked one with triple slot beefcake cooler.

The fake £600 price is just a trick to stop the miners finding them while browsing the store pages. Hence Gibbo's opening post listing the codes to use to unlock the real prices.

really bad value, price/performance has gone no where in almost 3 years

its better value to get the 1080 instead of the 480, since when was the higher priced cards better value ever?!
