But if confirmed, yet rumor that the NDA will end this Friday, reviews the day hopefully will be ready ... if not, you still have to wait a few days.

From that article so still not confirmed

If it comes close to 390x I will be a happy bunny.
Quiet with 150w max consumption 1080p and 1440p free synch I will love it.

It reminds me of 5870 perfect for a gaming rig if you are not interested in epeen.

The 5870 was the epeen card for around 6 month's

Pricing is as crucial as performance.

Yea, but the numbers could still be right, blah blah blah.

I've currently got an XFX 290DD, Asus 290 DCUII and a 970 G1 spread across 3 PCs. I only really use two of them on a regular basis, the third PC has barely been used. Thinking of selling them all and hopefully just about covering the cost, or coming close for 2 RX480 8GB. Seem like a worthwhile switch?

Depends on how much you get for your cards.

I was thinking £125 for the 290s and £160 for the 970, total of £410. Even if I get slightly less than that it still pretty much covers the cost.

The numbers are exactly the same as the videocardz ones, unless the results were made by someone in sapphire themselves then i doubt sapphire spiel would show the exact same values. There would be variance in the results as with any run.

Plus they wouldn't upload their own results to the 3Dmark database since it breaches NDA.

That still leaves you needing one more for the 3rd PC, right? Or do you not need all 3 PC's?

 

[Mr Latte]

It's not a good idea to CF cards with different memory capacities and speeds as it will cause micro stutter.

Thanks for confirming, have a great release!!!

 

[meldarthx]

Thanks for confirming, have a great release!!!

plus it would cap at the lower memory - how dx12's multi gpu works; I'm not exactly sure - if it would cap or cause micro scutter......

 

[nashathedog]

A week to go thank god.

Surely you have no interest in getting one, Even if it overclocks well and manages to beat the Fury it won't be a worthwhile change, Add to that how these Fury Tri-x's are such a nice card to live with and we're sitting pretty either way.

 

[Scramz]

This, good people, should be your wake up call.

OcUK already hinting that the margin isn't sufficient to sell at AMD's RRP.

For those of you thinking that the 4gb will be <£200, and the 8gb <£215, I'd suggest revising your pricing expectations waaaaay higher.

OcUK will not be selling these cards a) at cost, b) with tiny margins.

I got absolutely slammed and ripped into on this thread the other day for saying I reckon the cost would be from £250-300 for 8GB ref and aftermarket versions.

Looking likely aye.

How is it looking likely?

People do realize Gibbo said $, not £, right?

Where does it say that? Gibbo has quite often said they make only a tenner of some gfx cards and margins are tight.

He dais the card hsa come in at over $200 and AMD list price is what? $239 isnt it?

So there is a 10 to 15% profit margin to be had there.

Of course if ocuk need a 50% prefit margin then they will be £300

 

[meldarthx]

Oh it's likely.

and as it was pointed out; if there was no stock you'd be right; but as its been pointed out there will be stock - not like the very limited run on Nvidia's side.

Gibbo's pointed out how he does things - which when added up puts 4g just shy of 200 pounds and the ref 8g about 220.......aftermarket cards should then been 230+

Now if there is little stock then your prices would be right; unless there's price gouging.....

 

[XeNoNF50]

Oh it's likely.

230 for ref seems likely going off what he said.
