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

[Meaker]

I have a nano and this still tempts me slightly for fun

 

[Gibbo]

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?

Will see what I can do, but I have said it before I am very sceptical on improved power and phase doing much for OC, but I do know the reference cards were a little handicapped on OC potential.

I think the realistic targets are circa 1400MHz core, I do not forsee any cards getting close to 1500 let alone 1600 on air or even water. But I would like to be proven wrong of course, but I think 1400MHz area is more realistic on AIB cards once overclocked.

Ordered!.
This is the 1st pre-order since my AMD 2900XT.

Lets hope this time I fare better!

 

[Phreaky]

Ordered, 670 replacement.

2900XT, I got one on release.

This sapphire looks like a £400 card, a cracking purchase at 250.

 

[Technics]

Very nice work! teetering on the edge of placing an order ...

 

[shankly1985]

This looking like the GPU I'll be buying. Msi and others need to get a move on
Hopefully these can overclock to 1.5+

 

[Steampunk]

That is a very pretty card indeed.

 

[Sparkman]

Pre-ordered, pretty cheese grater should keep me going til HBM2 cards.

 

[sqwerty]

Nice card, will most likely be ordering one in two weeks if my 980Ti RMA fails.

Would have to agree with guestimate of 23-24cm long.

 

[Mr Latte]

Looks a helluva lot better than it did, looks a cracker

Every so often its nice to agree with your opinion


------------------------------------

Great work Gibbo, I want to pre-order but ALSO will not order until I see a review.
Hoping TTL @ OC3D or others have access to reviews prior to release, please make it so.

This is nice and also good size for medium size cases unlike some upcoming triple fan solutions which may bring little added benefits.

Looks stunning, just pre-ordered mine. I hope it won't disappoint as the reference RX 480 launch was a bit of a mess in my opinion. Roll on 22nd .

Great looking card, ordered as a replacement for a 560ti

Why were they so against the 4GB? Will this hold back game development? Just can't see why they would turn down free money.

The first batch of cards were 8gb flashed to 4gb so getting in the chips for a production to make a propper 4gb card would involve new stock.

MINE!!!

The story I read was to minimise time they only certified one card, the 8GB one, and used a different bios on it to only use 4GB. They also said that they wouldn't guarantee 4Gb models flashed to the 8GB bios.

I think they are missing a beat as the 4GB card hits the £200 price point, but we most likely see AIB's fill the hole soon enough.

Would have to agree with guestimate of 23-24cm long.

Hopefully under 25cm or I may need a Dremel!

 

[CREATIVE!11]

Clocks my good sir.... CLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kieran_read]

27 pre-sold in first 5 minutes. Wait until the world spots this!

According to my rain-forest checkout receipt I was at 14:35 not sure when you put it up, soon as I saw it I was all over it.

Been hanging around all day waiting for it.

I thought I was lazy but damn you lay in!
