You will need to wait for AIB cards with DVI or use an adapter. Bit of a further wait for AIB cards but should come with better coolers and a tad more performance than reference cards.

I would think about getting a new monitor. DVI connections are being replaced with DP and HDMI
OK, but theoretically how could I?
Wait for the custom cards, some will probably have DVI.
I smash 4GB with Skyrim.

Better off putting the extra money towards a future upgrade instead
We'll know in about 30 minutes.
Really doubt there's going to be any performance hit going from 8gb to 4gb.With a ton of hi res texture mods though which isn't typical.
The 4GB seems to have slower memory though, 7000mhz vs 8000mhz on the 8GB model is this something to worry about?
A display port to DVI adapter will get you connected (presumably there a dual-link versions). It adds extra cost so better to wait imo.
Just wondering is there likely a difference between the various brands for the ref designs. Are they made with different quality components or are they all literally the same thing with a sticker on the fan?
The reason I ask is that some reports are saying that this Card is an outstanding overclocker, and then other reports are showing beyond rubbish overclocks. I realise there is always going to be some difference between silicon.
Reports of 1.5% overclocks being completely unstable, yet others claiming 18% overclocks with no problems are a bit extreme.
Are any of the brands typically better than the others for component choice etc?

Guess so! Good things come to those who wait right? RIGHT?!
I could find such posts yes. In fact, I'm willing to bet I could find posts of you berating people who felt the 480 *wouldn't* match a 390X/980 and telling them a bunch of mumbo jumbo that suited you at the time.
And I dont really base my purchases on how a card will theoretically perform a year from now. Especially not based on your ever-optimistic predictions. And I especially am not going to judge based solely on DX12 performance given that the majority of games I'll be playing over the next couple years wont be DX12.
Anyways, I still dont think it's unreasonable to be disappointed that 1.5x node jump along with what was supposed to be a significant GCN architecture update hasn't led to *at least* 390X performance.
Not saying it's a bad card. I'm not one of those going around saying it's worthless or that a 970 is a better buy. I just wanted more performance rather than this extreme emphasis on low power usage. And if it takes a 3rd party card that costs £240-250 just to match an overclocked 970 on Day 1, I'm still not going to be impressed. Especially when I bought my decent quality 970(MSI Gaming) for £270 eighteen months ago.

Are there going to be any monitor deal with this then?
My point was I get quite close to maxing it out - its a bit short sighted IMO to buy 4GB or less now.
I disagree with no issues - if you look at DF's frametime graphs, etc. you can see the Fury cards are doing quite a lot of aggressive memory management which is causing some stutter/microstutter when entering a new area, etc. that isn't necessarily reflected in raw framerate numbers but will have an impact on how smooth the game feels.
Apparently so.
I asked him which drivers he used, he replied this :
"+Tech of Tomorrow I can't watch the video with audio at the moment (at work) did you mention which drivers are used ? The cd ones or 16.6.2 ?" (I meant to write 16.6.1)
"Tech of Tomorrow
Neither AMD release drivers"
