Thxz mines to right thought was low boost

No worries. Heck i haven't even tried the silent bios yet, it's quiet enough even on turbo.

I've got the Nitro OC in a living room PC and it's not as loud as my PS4 on full load. The Witcher 3 on PS4 gets it to demon hairdryer level.

I really need to get some feedback on this.

The only feedback you need is that £299 is overpriced. The Nitro+ OC and Devil are far better value for money.

HIS Radeon RX 480 IceQ X2 Roaring Turbo 8GB Review @VideoCardz

Will be having a go getting my NitroOC+ to >1400Mhz later. First time I've seen some "safe" voltage raising through Trixx and I didn't know where to start until I read that review.

??? I've had this on pre-order for over a month now and I mine hasn't arrived and it's not even clear when it's going to be available. I've been told to maybe expect mine soon, but there's no definites. What gives??? Are yours from OcUK?

Update to the roll of honour.

Have swapped my Nitro + OC for a MSI Gaming X.

Info on the card? I have a 1060 gaming x and it's absolutely quiet and cool. Is the rx 480 gaming x the same? How about noise and temperature? I'd like to change the 1060 to the 480, but i really like the 1060 temp and noise. With fan set to 60% it's completely quiet, is it the same with the 480?

I was searching high and low for these guys, they are not from overclockers, total price was £572.83 that's with shipping included. I am Sure they still have a few left to.

any reason you went for the Asus over the other brands? It's quite a bit more expensive. is it just preference?

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I've been keeping a careful eye on stocks of these card. As with most of the other RX480's they seem to be quite poorly stocked. I saw that they were available in the US and a few UK companies (but I didn't really trust them). I have my pre-order with OcUK and I'm pretty hopeful they'll be here soon. Have you got to play with the dual setup much yet? I'm just wondering how they are performing together. Also have you run into any problems yet?

They use the exact same cooler, which is massively overbuilt for cards like this, so it should be just as quiet. I had the 1070 Gaming X for a while (again uses the exact same cooler), which is a card with a similar TDP to the 480, and that was as close to silent as you can get.

Its my brothers setup so getting parts for him, he used to run a x59 with evga 285 gtx sli. He was going to get the 1070 or 1080, but i reckon the amd fairies were whispering in his ear during the night.

He's going to notice quite the jump in graphics power.

Can anyone explain why once i set My Nitro+ OC with a manual overlclocak via trixx 3.0 i.e gpu 1400 Mhz, 2250 memery, 50%power limit and 100mv GPU voltage with custom fan profile it doesn't give me better result/score with 3DMark on Windows 10 pr, PC specs 3770k @ 4.0, itx z77e-itx , water cooler Corsair H5 HF, 16GB Ram & RX 480 Nitro+ OC.

At these settings, its stable no problems, better FPS but my 3DMark score is just more than half of what it is straiaght out of the box?. All games play stable. i.e. Doom, Modor, BFONE, No mans and Sky Star citizen. ASIC quality 74.6 %

Refer to the graphics score, not the p score.
What voltage are you using to get to 1400mhz? It maybe that the power consumption is excessively high and whilst the card maybe isn'y throttling, the gpu load is throttling?
Run afterburner on the side and monitor your clock speed and gpu usage.
Let us know how you get on
