I've heard nothing but fantastic things about adaptive sync in general. Nvidia cards coupled with gsync prices are practically insane to me though. Coming off my current 21.5" 1080p monitor, a nice freesync 21:9 will be like christmas for me. Well, it might well actually be christmas for me, cause I couldnt buy a new GPU and a monitor all at once, me and the missus have more important things at the minute :D

Yeah, I have my card on the way(swapped for a 470 instead) but it will be at least a few months before I can afford a new monitor, me and my right hand have more important things to buy at the moment :D (that's a lie we just have no money at all left)

I think Ill jump on the 470 if theres no word on the 480s by the end of the week. Im being tempter by 1060s but I just dont thing it's gonna suit my needs being on a budget in the long run. Many plans for expensive things in the next few months, and as a couple the fidelity of video game visuals isnt the highest thing on the list. I am itching for a new monitor thouhg :p
 
Do AMD have production problems or is demand for the 480 really that high? I'd be interested to know what kind of yield they are getting.

I've heard currency miners are taking up a lot of them but I'm guessing the stock cooler would be better for mining scenarios and there seems to be no shortage of them, here anyway.

Wouldn't mind an update from Gibbo how the AMD cards are selling compared to Nvidia.

Last time he said they were outselling comfortably wonder if that's across all ranges.
 
Keep holding out for the Nitro+ OC. I got mine yesterday and it's a good solid card. I already have plans for a second and a custom loop to get those temps down. (Running near 80 arm)
 
Got my card a few weeks ago but only now had a chance to play with it due to work travel and moving house...

Beautiful looking card, great quality feel to it...very solid...will let you know how the gaming and benchmarking goes...

My first AMD card so very excited to try the red team, I like where AMD are going with DX12 and Vulkan as they seem to be bringing a greater focus on the gamer recently...

Hi there

OK we have a very large Sapphire delivery due end of this week, no precise day because deliveries from Hong Kong do not come with precise dates but if all goes well stock should be here Thursday / Friday.

So fingers crossed but hopefully many of you will have your Nitro's in time for the weekend if all goes to plan. :)

Thanks for the update Gibbo. If they go out on Friday do they get sent out for Saturday delivery?

They get sent out on the shipping method you choice. Anyone wanting Saturday delivery would need to call sales and pay the extra.

We cannot offer it as a free upgrade due to not enough margin in the product, otherwise we would.

Awesome good news Gibbo. Made my mind up & pre-ordered one so even if I don't get it in this batch, hopefully won't be too long:)
