Apparently it is going to be quite a good chance if they bin the chips for the best performance.

260W for 980 perf.... I don't get why you'd do it, tbh.
That's about 100W more than the 980 itself.
Snap up a 980 before they're gone, or a 470/1060 for low power... A 260W 480 is a terrible idea
The 480 really does look like a mobile GPU that was shoe-horned into a desktop product, and pushing it like this seems to totally miss the point.

Yeah i agree but if your already tied to Freesync, then this is an option, if your 290 or above, less of an option, however those 1350mhz benchmarks arent bad, anything higher should be reasonable gains also.
You'd wait for Vega in that instance? Whatever Vega brings it can't be worse than a 260W card at 980 perf for ~£260. No matter what metric you use

It is posts like this that really get my goat. I dare to post something negative about my experience and you tell me "enough with the drama already". What the hell fella and try and see it from my perspective. I worked a 12 hour day Friday, drove 48 miles to pick up the parcel that I missed as I was really excited to have a play, get home and have nothing but issues, spend the next 2 days trying this and that and fiddling with Wattman and still no joy but it was stable in The Division for 2 or more hours gameplay but not in others. Sure could be me doing something wrong or could well be a faulty card but get over yourself with your condescending post!
hence why I said binned chips. The process maturation may also help."a lottery draw" doesn't sound to me like it will be commonplace.
I presume with a good yield and a larger number of chips produced there is a much better chance of a decent quantity of high clocking chips?

I have a quick question for you - how was the sales of the RX480 in the first 24 hours compared to say the GTX1080,GTX1070 or GTX970??
Well looking at the 500k views on this thread, double that of the 1080 I imagine sales were very good...

Just somebody elsewhere is claiming Nvidia sold 100000 Titans in 24 hours and AMD has not sold many cards. Was just interested to hear from Gibbo what he thinks?
So,was that twice of ALL GTX1080 cards Nvidia has sold to date,or just during the launch period??
Truth be told a anyone asserting those figures is lying. No one will know and if they did know one set of figures they wouldn't know what the opposition sold. In my experience half the managers in most companies don't have a clue what's going on let alone a random internet poster
Yes but I said commonplace
What I am getting at is that I think it looks unlikely that we will see 1500mhz as a "gimme" overclock like 1400mhz on a 980Ti or 2ghz on a 1080/1070 would be for example.

the 480 need better tuning, the reference power draw for few extra % OC is insanely high, need to see what AIBs will do with it, if it's still have the same issue, then the 480 wont be any good for OC untill the 485 revision.

The fact of the matter is anyone who overclocks a PCIe only card such as the 750TI will go over the 75 Watt mark.
Infact according to the slides of the authors of this whole thing (Toms Hardware) the 750TI they tested at stock runs at way over 75 Watts for 90% of the time.
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,review-32889-20.html
Toms is measuring / charting in a way that really confuses folks. Their 'max' gets bumped up by a very fast unfiltered sample rate, which catches sub-ms peaks that are a side effect of the DC-DC converters (phases) used to supply GPUs. We confirmed with motherboard makers that their boards can handle such peaks without issue. They also confirmed that it is the sustained current draw (average plot line in Toms results) that can potentially damage boards / slots. We made a video to try and explain this to folks - here. We test with a low-pass filter that gives us a ~1/4 sec running average, meaning we can filter out the peak/dip noise and still catch momentary overages that are significant enough to heat things up / potentially cause damage.
AMD confirms 36Cu is the full chip, nothing left behind.

Guys really listen to this guy, he works in our Caseking HQ office in Berlin and like 8 Pack really knows his stuff. He is absolutely spot on in his video about everything.
Just as myself and 8 Pack commented, the RX 480 will not damage any motherboards from any reputable brand like Asus, MSI, Gigabyte or Asrock etc. He even tested upto 130W through the PCI-E slot with no ill effect.
GTX 750Ti has being exceeding PCI-E power draw far more than RX 480 does and no one has ever had concern over this.
Also as I allured too, anyone hoping for 1500-1600MHz custom cards will be deeply disappointed.
As I previously pointed out 1400MHz is about the best we can expect to see from a custom card, yes some people might achieve 1500MHz overclocks but they will be on the limit and will need voltage control via software to achieve this.
