I'll keep an eye on this!
The worrying thing is where will it draw the extra power from? Thought the pci-e slot and 6 pin were maxed out

Tasty thx
A quality PSU should have no issues delivering a full 150W over a 6-pin. Remember that most use the exact same cable for the 6-pin and 8-pin, with two pins split at the end so that it can serve as either. The two additional pins in an 8-pin are merely extra grounds, so it really makes no difference if you draw a full 150W from it without them connected, because the cable is rated for that draw either way. Of course, trying the same with a cheap PSU, or one that has seperate 6-pin and 8-pin cables, would be extremely inadvisable.

Ordered my XFX 480 last night. Does the free next day DPD delivery include Saturdays?

Does that raise stock clocks? Can clocks be adjusted in afterburner yet? Cheers.
As long as the bios is programmed to draw it from the psu cable it should be fine.

AFAIK no it doesn't
You joke but me too. I have been a member here probably 10 years and post when I have questions or answers.
Getting involved in Green Camp/Red Camp or Intel/AMD wars does my head in. By the time I get to 1000, I will be too old to game.
If, however, they worked it on hours spent online reading AMD kicks Nvidia arse or Nvidia does Satan's work on earth I would getting sent Haribos on an hourly basis and an OCUK sponsored discount on MM!!!
And $149 for the Founders Edition which can be filled with Ribena
since the power fix i have been mostly too busy playing games maxxed out to post instead of worrying about my pci slot lol
really happy with the sapphire rx 480 8 gig, it is doing exactly what i wanted from a gpu upgrade from the 270x and then some
the only game i have tried that seems to have an issue is wolfenstien the new order, random stuttering even when steam overlay says the fps is good while doom hits up to 150 odd lol
any one with that wolenstien game wanna try it on the latest drivers and see how it runs?

Wolfenstein is a weird game. Very 'elastic' for an fps. I really don't like how runs. There are some guides online for getting it running better though. P.s. i hate that stupid lazy loading of textures, really ruins the inmersion
hehe aye it doesnt even look good, it seems to run at 60fps then suddenly goes to 40 odd and has massive stutter like a jerky slide show which eventually clears up and the fps in same bit goes back to 60.
edit: yeh the textures loading in is horrible just like rage.
hehe only payed 6 quid for it the other day so all good im just glad doom has a better engine
oh tried the new ut earlier nice and smooth with all epic settings

Think i will prob go for the powercolor devil as long as it is a sensible price. Looking forward to being an owner, the only sticking point will be how the 1060 perform, and i an hoping for reviews before the aibs get released of the 480.
