Sapphire Nitro 4GB and 8GB back in stock!

Also Devil RX 480 cards are now in stock too.

Does that mean still no non-OC 8gb nitros?

I'd really like to know more about the red devil but not much information about. Any reviews anywhere?

And have they fixed the upside down logo yet?

Shame about the MSI Gaming X price.. £299? Thats at a bloody ridiculous price right now.. I'd buy one if it was more around the Sapphire price range.

Any chance of it on offer tomorrow? Or even the Sapphire?

Btw when is the non OC Nitro+ coming?

Cheers.

Yes last update from Sapphire was no update on none OC and will be closer to end of this month, so fingers crossed end of next week.

Gaming X needs to come into my warehouse in much bigger quantities, right now it is selling pretty damn quick and supply is very slim.

No news of a bigger quantity coming in then? I'd rather this 480 as it has good reviews of being pretty silent.

Damn it, got cash in the bank waiting to go on a new GPU (much needed as you can see in my sig

).

I'll see how things go on the midweek offers tomorrow.

Thanks.

Is the MSI priced higher because it's a better card or because of limited supply, or a combination? There has been limited supply on the sapphire and powercolor up to now and those prices haven't risen.

Zhuni · 23 Aug 2016 at 17:23

Its limited supply at the moment.

EGuitarStar · 23 Aug 2016 at 17:33

Why are not more people buying the 4GB card and waiting for the 8GB card? The benchmarks I've seen between the two cards show only a small difference.

I got a 1080 60Hz screen (I know, I'm out of date) and the 4GB card is more than enough for what I've thrown at it.

Am I missing something about the 8GB card and it's capabilities?

The difference being Sapphire have now shipped over 1500 of their Nitro cards into OcUK compared to MSI 100 units.

Yes but only a couple of weeks back there were no cards availables, and the price didn't rise to 299 then.

Are the MSI cards more expensive on wholesale to start with?

When supply is better the price will be around £269 - £279.

Typically it is often cheaper to pre-order as when product is pre-order we hit lowest margins typically to generate interest.

You guys think it's worth the extra £20 for the Saphire RX 480 4GB over the MSI RX470 4GB. I'm only gaming at 1080P ad currently have an MSI R9 270 card which is so quiet. heard that the Nitro can get a bit loud.

Unless anyone has experienced the HIS RX470?

Thanks

bainbridge · 23 Aug 2016 at 18:26

8gb rx480 nitro just ordered

Using 16.8.2, no issues here. Install that, also is you are not using AMD Gaming Evolved or Raptr remove them.

I had issues with new driver. I'll uninstalled AMD Gaming Evolved also.
