I'm guessing they weren't supposed to be put up, have another look after 2pm.

Taken down because the is still up. They have to wait for another 45 min before they can post those cards.

It's a good move selling before more reviews appear, I don't see the prices though.
A Ferrari F12TDF would be a nice £10k car... doesn't mean that is going to happen either.
Imo people here saying you should get the 970 instead are deluded, I'm sure the RX 480 is more powerful than a 970 in terms of hardware and has full DX12 support.
With Nvidia's track record, I would not be comfortable buying their last gen cards, especially those which are missing DX12 features.

Genuinely don't know, would be great if it did, hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to chime in.
1x 1070 all day long. No headache of CF and looking like a similar price to performance.
why not 2x 4g?

I managed to get an order in for one, will it be cancelled?
For DX12 buying the Maxwell cards is a false economy IMO. That said I'm not sure what the 480's future in DX12/Vulkan will be as once games come out with more demanding use of it at the end of the day the 480 is still a mid-range card and barely even that in respect to "next generation" and may not have that long a useful life if bigger more powerful cards in the line up do come out (as developers will see those bigger cards as their target for top end).
Wait for CF benchmarks and FCAT numbers. Would personally go for the GTX 1070 just because a single GPU never has support issues in newer games, and it wouldn't be too fun to have to realy on a single RX 480 for gaming in those cases.

Careful, you're trying to come up with a common sense argument amongst all the trolling? Come on now, thats not on at all!
Lol, yes. By quite a margin. I had a 7950 replaced it with a 390 and the performance was roughly doubled and these are similar in performance to a 390.
SLI and Xfire support in general is poor. So if you can afford it a single card solution wins everytime.

Just noticed it was Mini-dispalyport so that wouldn't work...
