It's going to come in around £275 I bet. Just watch, as it's performance is going to be better than expected...all hail AMD resurgence lmao.

If it is like 5-10% better and runs cooler or something, it will be exact same price in dollars as 480 was on release. If it is much better like Tony thinks it will be, then sure it will likely be priced more :p

According to this review the 580 rrp is $10 more than the 480: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/RX_580_Nitro_Plus/

Also a 4gb 580 can be had for £199.99 at OcUK and 8GB one for £239.99 so there you go Tony :)

Indeed, and an 8GB Gigabyte G1 RX480 is £209.99 currently, meanwhile 8GB RX580s start at £239.99. I like AMD, but this is a bit silly. RX480s need to be taken off the market for this launch to work.

It is a replacement card for the 480. It should be the same price. At this point they have the process down already and corrected any mistakes in the boards etc. It is frustrating to see this. If it were a card in isolation.... well.... but it ain't.

Yea i don't think AMD have changed the pricing. The RRP is $230 so the higher pricing will be due to AIB's and retailers.
 
So the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8 GB is a whopping 120mhz faster than the Powercolor red devil 480... rest of the specs are the same? seems a bit of a pointless release to me?

They're selling so many of these that GloFo can't keep up! :eek:

Seriously though, this is interesting. If it turns out to be true, it'd mean that GloFo's process is not that bad. People kept thinking that Samsung could make a difference but this doesn't seem to be the case...

Or the Samsung one is bad. :p

I mean AMD's making the console SoCs at TSMC using 16nm, and look what NVIDIA has managed as well.

I hope people aren't expecting a different between GloFo and Samsung since they use exactly the same process....

The process is the same, but the still had to implement it (Samsung just gave them the IP and a license) so it was supposedly possible for GloFo to mess things up.

So, I was referring to people theorising that somehow GloFo had indeed messed up the process and was producing inferior chips to what Samsung was capable of (using the same process).

If the 580s are produced at both GloFo and Samsung, then this myth is simply not true. There was no major improvement (be it clocks or power consumption), so GloFo must be producing chips that are just as good as Samsung's.

Again IF there are indeed Samsung-produced chips, which personally I doubt.
