Any news on the non Sapphire aftermarket ones?

To those who have received their cards today, enjoy! Luckily, I got mine (4GB) on Saturday morning and was able to enjoy a whole weekend of gaming and bench marking

Can those LED lights on the card be controlled or turned off without pressing the button on the card?

Pretty sure that's coming up in the new Trixx 3.0

Without the (very absent) trixx 3.0 software; no.

Got my card. Checked GPUz, and i have a 72.2% Asic quality

I thought i had cancelled both my preorders for the 480 but one turned up today so decided to use it for my sons PC.(previously a GTX 660) I may have a faulty card.Boots to windows but unable to play any games, Doom has "FATAL ERROR: wglChoosePixelFormatARB not available".Alien isolation keeps freezing and Counterstrike says hardware missing message and does not play as the other 5 games also say similar message,have checked all cables and reinstalled twice.Just not being recognised by windows 10 at the moment.

GPU Temp works, but no temps or fan speed data in GPU-Z or Trixx, which is a PITA...

Am I missing an update or something? What is everyone else using?

Really? Havn't got 480 installed right not but I'm pretty sure GPU-Z worked fine I had to grab the very latest one but, yeah. On Nitro 4gb.

My 3 have arrived, got one installed so far, will do the others later and let the kids play test them - they'll soon let me know if there is any problems with the card.

Just had Far Cry Primal running, Ultra, everything max (1920x1080) 120 FOV, looks awesome! Max temp I got was 72 degrees Celsius

Sounds peachy!!! I really favoured this card....

Mines arrived but I don't finish work until half nine so no fun for me tonight.

What is going on with Trixx 3.0? It's taking ages.

Phantom Shadow · 15 Aug 2016 at 18:51

Looks like they were so busy making 8gb boxes they didn't have time to make ones for the 4gb cards.

Does this mean it will flash to 8gb too?

FoxEye · 15 Aug 2016 at 19:08

Haha, mine is like that too

Sadly I got no sleep last night, so I'm not about to start disassembling my old PC until tomorrow. Got to move it to a new case, and that means taking the CPU cooler off as well.

I just know if I try it in my current sleep-deprived state I will regret it

return it. i would never put up with anything that bothers me on a graphics card. This is why we are allowed to do returns.

Ordered a 4gb version but waiting for new stock. Are these still coming 8gb ram with the 4gb bios?

Phantom Shadow · 15 Aug 2016 at 20:13

With 8gb ram, i5 750 at 3.6ghz and upgraded from sapphire 270x 2gb to sapphire 480 4gb

Firestrike: 5,547 > ~9,500
Time Spy: 1,673 > 3,534

Not even looking overclocking it yet, but I'm very happy with that performance increase

Fairly sure they're producing actual 4gb cards now that production is getting into full swing.
