is there a free version of firestrike? I can't imagine everyone would be using a paid benchamark software?

SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
I ordered mine that day too and didn't have your level of restraint - I had to ask
Haha I don't blame you! It's like time stands still while waiting for a new toy. That said I think everyone should keep in mind OCUK haven't given any hard & fast ETA, they're working as quickly as they can so whenever they arrive they arrive. Especially if you're overseas (like me) you shouldn't be expecting them in a week (or even two) when there was no confirmed ETA at the time we ordered. Sit back, relax, spend all day reading reviews like I do just make sure the boss doesn't catch you

Yes the 3DMark Demo lets you run Firestrike and the new Timespy, both at 1080p only. You can't save/upload results and it plays a demo video of the test before doing the actual tests each time which is annoying, but hey.

What's the ETA on the 4GB version?
It's quite hefty TBH. Solidly built rather than just plain heavy though.
By the time I got in last night I only got as far as removing the old card and then getting the new one setup, then running a bunch of updates. Still, that's all prep for when I have some peace and quiet tonight.
Didn't intend to stay up until 2am just checking that it was working...

Those who already pre-ordered 1-2 weeks. If pre-ordering now around 2 weeks, essentially pre-order to get in the queue, because at present were selling around 100 units per day, so they won't show in stock for sometime due to their popularity.
Between the three Sapphire Nitro models they are our best selling cards, outselling everything else by a long distance.
Got mine today
Nice upgrade from the nitro 380 4gb
It is? 380 is still a relatively new card, am surprised this yields such a performance increase.
Caporegime
Oh yes, and maybe even some upscaled 1440P
Just wanted to confirm my off the top of my head +50%...
63% + 60 Percentage points = 100.8%
So about 60%+
They were not on the Gigabyte shipment, still awaiting an update from them as to why.

So I'm really wanting to make the most of this when eventually it comes
Considering dropping the cash on a new 24" 1080p 144Hz Freesync. I'm currently on an older 23" 1080p 75Hz.
Looks like I can do it for about £200, but seems a lot of additional money! Would it be worth it do you think?
(also I assume I will need to buy a DP cable as currently on DVI?)

W00t!
What an upgrade, Firestrike graphics score from the HD6870 went from 2951 to 13446
Looking forward to checking out a memory o/c then I've got GTAV, Wolfenstein and Middle Earth from the Steam summer sale to get my teeth into
even though i will have to wait its the most anticipated part of my pc....bring it on

Dunno maybe Gibbo will give us another nice monitor sale now that the AIB's are coming in
Also, the two Freesync £200 144hz monitors sold on Overclockers come with DP cables I believe.What setting is the bios switch at as default when it comes.
should i change it or leave it as is
Mine came in full o/c mode, you can check in Wattman that under State 7 it says 1342.
Edit: I think you also have to click a toggle switch to view clocks, else it might just say Auto.

Mine is locked at 1395 / 2250. 50% power limit and tweaked the temp target to 80c
Did an overnight Heaven burn-in, it's rock solid. Despite me targeting 80c it was sitting at around 75, need a few more days testing on it though
Haven't done anything with the voltages yet they have been left at auto. Sapphire Trixx is due sometime soon which i hope has some custom voltage stuff, i'll tweak that then
Excellent performing and looking card I love the breathing LED that shows fan speed. There's a very deep purple as the second to last stage it looks so good

Some PowerColor Devil reviews from Guru3D
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/powercolor_radeon_rx_480_red_devil_review,1.html
Guru3D has disappointed me sadly, they're usually much more professional with reviews and more comprehensive.
ROTR - Not using the latest async Patch, Not using 16.7.3 drivers which give 10% boost in this game ,enabling HBAO+
Doom - Not including vulkan results in overall listing - Not using TSSAA or no AA so async can be enabled
Battlefield hardline - HBAO+ enabled
Shadow of Mordor - no 1080P benches
On the brightside it's an amazingly quiet card, at 38 dba under load. Sadly they tested the cards in an open bench and saw a max temp of 76. It'll probably be hotter in a chassis.
