SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

Sexy card. Can't believe they turned the cheese grater into that.

Very interested to see what the 480 can do with the shackles of the reference design removed.

I don't have a 8 pin connector, but two 6 pci-e ones. Are there converters or am I stuffed?
edit: although there is a 6 with a 2 next to it.

I like the look of that card. Very nice.

 

[Gibbo]

Good looking card, curious to see if any AIB cards get under £200 as I think that's where the 480 makes most sense.

Only 4GB will, AIB cards cost more to produce than AMD reference cards.

A 6+2 will be absolutely fine. Maybe some PSUs do dedicated 8-pin connectors, but every one I've had has been 6+2 cables.

Ah yes I forgot all the AIB cards are 8gb aren't they?

A question about pre orders, does you card get charged when you order, or when it is shipped?

 

[Minstadave]

I'd want to see what the 1060 offers before dropping £250 on one of these. If it doesn't clock fairly decently the performance isn't amazing for the price.

 

[Orangey]

Love the back, looks great & original design. That is what most people see after all unless they have a rotated case.

Could do a nice silvery-grey-black build with this.

 

[akarypid]

Cheers mate. First GPU for personal use I've bought in about 10 years.

£250 was my budget so cheers Gibbo. This should do nicely.

That makes two of us! 12 years since my last purchase!

 

[montymint]

is this is anything like my sapphire reference, don't bother.

damn thing refuses to work.

When you order.

I am tempted to sell my 295x2 and buy this instead. Should I? Lol.

@Gibbo - Will there be any 4gb AIB cards? Any idea when? I don't really need 8GB for 1080/1200p and the price difference seems so big. £200-210 for custom 4gb would have been so much better value.

Yes looking around end of July / August time for AIB 4GB's.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Didn't expect custom 4GB, that's great news.

I convinced some AIB's to make some in Munich yesterday, hope they don't change their minds.

Awesome, thanks so much for your reply. Guess I will hold off for another month then and save myself £30-40 off 8gb.

Nope it is, I have a favourite saying "less is more"

Sapphired nailed it, looks classy yet great without being OTT and in your face. The RGB logo is a real nice touch, especially as you can turn it off.

I'm very tempted but will wait to see what the OC potential is for the card and what other AIB's bring. Any chance of an early review?
