It'll be months yet before the drivers are sorted, look how long it took them to get the Fury X past the 980, by the time the 480s finally away from the 970, the 11 series cards will be here, so no one will care
I think you mean past the gtx980ti

21 games and matching performance at 1440p and at 4k nearly Titan X. Your Fury is not so far behind. Why not sell up and go Nvidia if the grass is so green. I do agree that the Fury series is probably Amd's weakest release since the 2900 but at stock it's not so bad. It did need another 4gtb of vram though.
Thanks
So the earliest I could get one delivered, would be Thursday unless I pop into the shop?
yup thats how usualy ppl get the product on release day
, good old drive to the shop, or live in US with amazon's same day delivery I've got to ask, is there going to be an advantage to having the 8GB over the 4GB card for single GPU use at 1080P, I was planning on just buying the 4GB variant when they released the AIB's but seen people saying you'll want the 8gb version for single card use.
There is a Profile option in the AMD Radeon software where you can configure games etc to get the best out of them, if that is what you mean?

The NDA is up and OCUK will be selling (not some dodgy preorder
) from 2PM tomorrow (or so I read).
Why not get the 4Gb version in that case? No point having 8Gb with the kind of performance the RX 480 offers (unless you're going to use them for CF).
Just because there's a lot of empty air doesn't make it a bad cooler. The more you tighten up the casing, the hotter the temps inside would get. And unlike open air coolers, a blower cooler needs to have a deep-sitting fan with much wider blades sitting past the processor and heatsink, so a bit of length is inevitable.
It's not a bad design at all. It may not be the best, but it's simple and it works. Open air coolers with heatpipes and all that adds significant complexity and cost. We're lucky they're as cheap as they often are, really.
thanks it is, i'm lazy and don't tend to mess with settings but the nvidia geforce experience supplies the optimal settings for your gpu so was hoping amd had the same kind of thing specific to your card
There is no free shipping to Ireland.....
Take a £218, add my 3%, add shipping and this is what I pay.

he was not asking about the driver

Change to 2 day dpd its a tenner
If I select some of the nv cards it shows with no shipping costs
Can you check by adding a 970 to the basket and then fiddle around with delivery options ?
Also my initial point still stands that with the pound weakening the cards are getting cheaper for us in Ireland
200 pound times 145 (pound conversion) is 290 euro 8 gig pre brexit and confirmed would be price by gibbo
220 pound to euro today is 265 euro a saving of 25 euro
