Sapphire just reduced 4G Nitro to hit £199 for us!
Reason being the 1060?
They feel it is a sweeter price point, right now Sapphire are only focused on themselves and production as OcUK has already pre-sold now nearly 1000 RX 480 Nitro cards and sales today on the Nitro's have exploded.

Woah! That is a fantastic price for this card. I really think the 480 is best at 4gb. Perfect mid-level pricing and card.

That's a good move.
It certainly is. I do wonder if it will cannibalise the 8GB sales though. Hopefully they didn't do an AMD and just produce one unit, changing the RAM in BIOS.

Gibbo,
Please can you tell us that 22nd of July for pre-ordered Nitro+ is still actual?
An "I do not know yet" is also an info.
Gibbo.. please..
It is looking unlikely as nothing has shipped, I think a safe bet is now August 5th. Sapphire should deliver sooner as they are going into production this weekend.

Based on the incoming reviews of the 1060 I have re-pre-ordered the Nitro+
The difference in speed and cost for the AIB's I looked at means the RX 480 overall wins for me. Sure the GTX 1060 can outperform (currently) the RX 480 in certain games. But an overclocked RX 480 @ 1340Mhz can match a GTX 1060 in the Time Spy benchmark (which is a fishy test right now anyhow). In DX12 and Vulkan the RX 480 currently outperforms it.
The few games where I see the GTX 1060 beating the RX 480 seem to be those few Nvidia specific titles.
I am hopeful that the RX 480 will have more legs over the coming months/years than the GTX 1060. The 1060 may be faster out of the gate but is it going to be a tortoise and hare race I wonder?
