Everything running top notch on mine, had 1 crash when exiting TF2 and only had fans ramp up on a uningene benchmark and even then my stock cooler is more annoying ha
EDIT: and as I click send the fans ramp up to 3000 rpm for no apparent reason, gpus nice and cool tho 20 odd degrees celsius need a heater in my room at this rate

I'm not overclocking yet, but I wondered what Power Limit I should set in Wattman? +20?
Also, I get no temparature info in the Unigine benchmarks and can't see the setting, any ideas?

I got 3 questions..
1. When is the next batch of Sapphire Nitro+ OC 480's coming?
2. Will one of these run Arma 3 maxed out Ultra with 2xMSAA alongside my 6700K etc in my sig?
3. Or should i just wait for Vega as the rumours are saying maybe October?
Thanks
More arrive next week.

Received mine. Quick heaven benchmark run and disappointed that it has coil whine. Aside from that it all seems to work
What happened to the diamond chokes feature that says it will reduce / eliminate coil whine lol

Cheers matey
Earlier the better, i keep looking at the MSI 470 Gaming X thinking it'll tide me over til Vega, but i can wait a lil longer 
It really does seem to be a lottery on this as mine doesn't whine at all.

Does that include the standard nitro 8gb model?

Well just fitted my 8GB card....... dead 
PC powers up perfectly without it, as soon as I put in I get no video at all. Damn

Try a different PCI-E slot and use different power connectors. Did you update your Mobo bios to the latest before installing the GPU?

I didn't think about BIOS, I can give that a try!

Fitted my nitro 4g today, tripped my mains, but works fine, quiet card @1500 rpm, max temp 75c, just need to work out how to overclock as afterburner is not working.

Guys with some pretty good deals coming up on 980ti cards (£320) and 970 cards (under £200) I don't know whether these would be worth it for me? I don't play the latest titles and am only on 1080p. But I will be keeping the card for 5 years. Is it a bad choice to go for a 980ti at £320 at this point? It's still more than I wanted to pay but it's a 980ti!!

A 980 TI walks all over a 480. I'd definitely shell out the extra.

At the moment yes, but at this stage i wouldn't buy any Maxwell card, they don't have any real DX12 or Vulkan support, i wouldn't be surprised if by this time next year the 980TI isn't anywhere near as competitive as it is now.
Look at the 780TI vs the 290X, compare them to then and now, they have literally flipped performance positioning.
Nvidia just don't do longevity. i'm getting pretty itchy to get rid of my Maxwell card.

Why is the MSI Gaming X 480 £300? I'd buy one if it was around same price as the Sapphire Nitro.. are they even selling at that price?
I can't imagine a 480 being anywhere near a 980ti ever, no matter how bad the ti is at DX12. They are just in a totally different performance league.
And I've just bought a 480, so no dog in this race.
