This sexy MF showed up yesterday:

It's silent compared to my Red Dragon Vega 56, and about twice as fast! :eek:

EDIT: Ah poop, the pic isn't linking properly...
EDIT V2: There we go!

can you please share temps and rpm? with msi afterburner overlay while gaming would be great as this card is very rare. no review at all so far.

Aztec2Step · 2 Feb 2021 at 11:40

@Nosferatu93 : Bone stock, not a single setting touched, the core runs at about 2230MHz average in Cyberpunk 2077 @ 1440p with GPU temp at around 77°C (hotspot 90°C) and the fans are not at all audible over my other system fans (MSI AB reports 33% fan speed, not sure of the RPM).

I haven't started overclocking it yet but it doesn't seem to need it at all just yet!

Nosferatu93 · 2 Feb 2021 at 12:45

yea then its pretty much the nitro+ light this time.

Scoobynuts · 2 Feb 2021 at 17:09

Good news! I finally got my Display Ports working, and also my Reverb. No RMA needed thank god. Off to cancel the 3080 order and immerse myself in DCS for a while...

Made By AMD.

Seriously ! :confused:

Is that an official term or forum?

Forum/Internet, but you end up using it out of habit. Technically it just means it's the AMD reference design cooler rather than Made By AMD AFAIK.

The only ones Made By AMD are from the AMD store.

Ironicaly IIRC are made by saphire

Sapphire support have replied to my enquiry regarding the noisy middle fan by saying that according to the serial number of the card I submitted, my card does not have a manufacturer warranty.
Does anyone here have any tips for dealing with them or can I get any help from OCUK in proving my legitimate purchase is in warranty?

Did your card come as part of a pre-built system? That's what it sounds like as the cards haven't been out long enough to be out of warranty. You'll probably have to go back to the supplier of the card/system (if it was a pre-build).

No it came from here, purchased on the 22nd when they became available. Sapphire have said that there isnt a warranty on the card as it may have been purchased from a discount reseller and that definitely wasn’t the case. I’ve sent them pictures of the serial number on the box and the card but they won’t budge.
I’m hoping it may just be a mix-up, but what would have happened a year down the road if I had a warranty issue that couldn’t have been resolved? Not a good start to an expensive product.

Have you tried OC customer service? You can return to them within the warranty period and let them deal with it on your behalf.
