What are AMD celebrating?

 

[orbitalwalsh]

Asus claims 7000MHz, can't have your cake and eat it.

P.S. Just doubled check with Asus, they are saying it is 8000MHz and 1325MHz boost clock.

really odd, other sources state 8000hz for this model. still a bargin

It is 8000, Gibbo said so a few posts later.

Well VEGA won't be remotely close this kind of pricing, these cards are mid-range.

LOL I understand that. I was basically saying that if I wasnt holding out for Vega then two of those white 480s would be nice.

 

[Rezident]

They are good prices and the cards are already great value for money.

Must. Not. buy. second. 480...

 

[mahius]

Is that a pricing error, or do I see an RX 480 for well under £200 ath the price it should have originally launched at? Damn... so tempting. I might actually buy it lol. As a gift for someone...

 

[King4aDay]

Anyone know what the Asus Dual cooler is like? Tempted to upgrade my blower 7950 purely for noise reasons (I only really play Total Warhammer and probably won't play much else until Squadron 42 finally lands).

So you already know what pricing Vega is going to be?

 

[AthlonXP1800]

So you already know what pricing Vega is going to be?

Yes Vega 10 around 1080 Ti price and Vega 11 around 1070 price.

 

[JediFragger]

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, that'll keep you in a realistic state of mind

 

[Griffildur]

Yes Vega 10 around 1080 Ti price and Vega 11 around 1070 price.

I don't think this kind of pricing makes any sense at all. It also makes no sense for AMD to release 2 cards with such a big gap in performance between them. Best case scenario, in my opinion of course, which could totally be wrong, is 2 cards which are around 1070 and 1080 ish performance and pricing pretty close to those of the NVidia cards.

ORDER NOW

Gibbo, any idea when stock will be back in. Will place an order now but want to make sure there is a chance you will get them back in stock soon-ish?

 

[silversurfer]

Vega will compete with 1080 cards I think and this 480 is vs 1060 etc. 28th there is details maybe but I reckon all these cards will go alongside each other for the next year at least

Thanks & ordered. Under 200 notes for an Asus 480 is too hard to resist!
