ETA on OcUK says 22nd July. That's so darn late really.

Meh... 7 Days, play games instead of thinking about it, that time will soon fly by.

Seven days is enough for exchange rates to drop more and for prices to go up.

Man, I really pray that Vega and big Polaris get released sooner rather than later....

So do I! I'll be using the 480 as a stop gap GPU until then; after that it's going into a friend's PC.

Although with the price drop on the Fury cards...

yup and then it was morning and everyone woke up!

Pretty funny the level of delusion in that gif. 480 beating a 1080 with "oc level 10000" when it can't even OC in real life.

Then again it was made pre-launch.

It was based on all those amazingly accurate WCCF leaks. I don't know how anyone can take that place seriously.

the .gif is a joke, it meant to be viewed by someone with a sense of humour.

just joking guys

Gregster · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:57

The actual joke was people getting themselves all hyped up and then watching the real performance figures coming in

Orangey · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:58

I got some more funny GPU pictures

fastboy · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:58

yep I did have a chuckle when I first saw it..i figured some people would get triggered by it

@ 1080p ?

Yes FHD. So it will be something like 30%

Minimum, remember that's reference card so add 5-10% for the custom cards.

Sszaki · 16 Jul 2016 at 20:20

Yes but my 280 is custom as well.

Some more images...

Looking pretty sweet. Far more tasteful than some of the other AIB cards I have seen. Looks a fair bit shorter than my MSI 7950 too.

About 45% quicker, 280 is 30% slower than 480 according to that graph

Looks a nice card. Really tempted to save up and get one for my wife to replace the 5830 in her PC.
