Planning to buy from caseking.de, cannot decide between 470 and 480.
Interesting thing, MSI 470 4GB is only 10€ less than sapphire 480 4GB
caseking.de

But 8GB version the difference is 50€. How is that?

Jokes on them I bought it 275€ secondhand
Brayden Morris
Which shop is the cheapest and delivers to whole europe?
Nathan Diaz
Many people around here order their stuff from Germany. Mindfactory is good.
Jayden Roberts
Wating for 480 prices to drop to reasonable levels.Right now its not worth picking one up,4gb went from 220 to 250 euros and the 8gb went from 250 to 280 which is disgusting,preodering one of the 470s seems like a good right now deal seeing as you can find them for 220€.
Jeremiah Parker
mindfactory
also which manufacturer is best for 1070? ASUS?
Austin Davis
Mindfactory does not ship to all europe
Cooper Jackson
who here /GTX1060/?
Josiah Foster
I am planning to buy a GTX 1060 Turbo for 301€.
Zachary Bennett

James Reed
I bought GTX1060 since its cheaper than RX480 in most of europe.
Matthew Phillips
470 4GB year later after it's /actually/ *$150*, similiar price of 370 now.
Right now 470 4GB costs more than a 380X.
Pair it with LG IPS 75Hz FreeSync HDMI monitor for 150€
Nathan Rodriguez
>470 is 270€ in europe
Fuck this. Is there a point in waiting to shed 10-20 euros?
Ian Lee
The 470 was a fucking disappointment. Barely cheaper than a 480, at least on the 4GB version. Sapphire and the others jewing out hardcore because there is no cheap reference card. Shit availability as well. 149$ MSRP my ass. The 460 likely is gonna be 130€ as well, with fucking 370-tier performance. No competition from Nvidia in sight, and I doubt they're going to lowball AMD anyway. If that isn't going to settle, I will sit out this generation.
Caleb Richardson
Jaxson Butler
>upgraded to a 1070 for two games
Maybe a waste of money. At least I can play DMC4:SE in 4K now.
Evan Hall
lol enjoy your temps
Thomas Wilson
Bought a Fury Nitro from OcUK a week ago. Great card.
Brayden Hill
Picked up a used aftermarket 980ti for 350 euro with 1,5 of warranty left. Oc'd it's faster than a 1070 and still shit on any single cards that AMD has out.
Feelsgoodman
Jose Perez
I was going to buy a 4GB RX 480, but with these prices and availability I might as well buy a 1060. I'm going to wait a few weeks in case AMD gets their shit together but I'm really not holding my breath.
John Collins
And they later retracted that.
Besides, Maxwell shaders are identical to Pascal shaders besides the die shrink.
They can't optimize for Pascal without optimizing for Maxwell aswell
Ryder Young
I'm more than satisfied with my VIA IGP.
William Lee
I'll be buying this with my next paycheck.
Kayden Gray
it feels like being kicked in the balls
seeing americans getting those sweet ones for $200-$250
but what was I expecting, above gtx980 for 200€ jump?
Elijah Gray
because ya'll idiots will buy anythang
8gb is redundant on a 1080p mid market card.
Wyatt Long
Do we wait????
Josiah Hall
Grayson Edwards
Sure if you want no GPU till the middle of 2017 then are ok with playing massive mark ups
Preorder if you need one now, wait for HBM options if you have a good old card.
Dylan Scott
I'm glad you're happy, user, but as somebody who recently sold a 780, I think anybody who buys an old Nvidia card is a massive retard. By the time that warranty's up it'll be performing at 80% of a Fury X's level.
>They can't optimize for Pascal without optimizing for Maxwell aswell
This is just delusional. There are major differences between the two, not least the fact that asynchronous compute is explicitly disabled for Maxwell (only) in the driver, proving that Nvidia can gimp one and not the other.
>The reason Maxwell doesn't take a hit is because NVIDIA has explictly disabled async compute in Maxwell drivers. So no matter how much we pile things to the queues, they cannot be set to run asynchronously because the driver says "no, I can't do that". Basically NV driver tells Time Spy to go "async off" for the run on that card. NV driver runs asynchronous tasks in one queue on Maxwell, similar to if they were submitted in one queue ("async off" in Time Spy). If NVIDIA enables Async Compute in the drivers on Maxwell, Time Spy will start using it. Performance gain or loss depends on the hardware & drivers.
steamcommunity.com
Straight from a Futuremark developer. That card is going to age like a bottle of milk, my friend.
Eli Scott
I haven't found a test for this particular MSI model.
It has a higher base clock than the other cards and the cooler looks like a Twin Frozr knockoff, so it might be good.
Jack Reed
GPU prices in Europe right now are absolutely fucking retarded.
Not buying anything until these disgusting jews fix their idiotic prices.
Brandon Diaz
like thats ever happening
Levi Wood
buy gtx950 or a 1080, not those bait cards in between, thank me later
Thomas Rodriguez
fucking caseking had a db leak/got hacked and now im getting phishing mails on the email i used for them. they didnt even notify their customers about it.
would not recommend ordering from them
Grayson Anderson
Was planning an upgrade to a 480 from my 760, but found an used sapphire 280x for 140€ close to me. Expecting it to arrive tomorrow, should be a fun card to tinker with.
Plan on undervolting it, and if I can find a way around the high power consumption on multimonitor and video playback, I'll have more confidence in going for higher end amd's.
Nolan Gutierrez
Videocardz has a mini review on it.
One heatpipe and a single aluminium piece heatsink, also probably using the lower binned chips. Don't have much confidence for it long term.
Landon Allen
Forgot to say no VRM cooling whatsoever, and I doubt those slits are enough for the fans to cool them.
Brandon Williams
What the fuck.
This has to be worse than the reference cooler.
Logan Rivera
Back here we have a saying: "When the charity is too much the beggar will be suspicious".
That's the 279€ 1060 for you. I never expected anything else from it, other than the cheapest of the cheap components.
Easton Moore
I'm french and planning on upgrading in september. Will the dust will have settled by then?
Levi Ward
i'm wonder should i go for 470 4 gb or 480 8 gb or 1070 still don't know wich is better for me till i jump to 4k in end of 2018
Wyatt Baker
Jaxson Campbell
Planning to get a 1080 from the site that is determined cheapest via my local price matching sites. The cheapest not-shit variants are both at the 750€ and those are the evga ftw (which looks atrocious imho) and the asus strix. Which one lads? Or should i wait for the price to come down?
>tfw best card gigabyte xtreme gayman (only one with triple 100mm fans) is only sold in the premium pack here which cost 870 fucking eurocucktokens
Ayden Gomez
if you care about that you should go for 1070
Jayden Smith
basically waiting until Red Devil or MSI versions of RX480 are available in this shithole that can't even qualify as a european country.
Turkey
Kevin Miller
Go for evga their step up thing is unbeatable to upgrade in the future.
Henry Moore
>furies are small they said
The exo toaster was only going to be a temporary home for it, but still...
Brandon Sanders
>219£ = 260€
Not that large of a difference tbqh. Only 10€ more on mindfactory
Jose Gonzalez
The cooling of my GTX 460 has started to make weird noises, so i'll probably update to a zotac gtx 1060 once the prices are back to normal.
Bentley Gray
Care about what? The Triple 100mm fans? I have considered it, but i feel that down the line i would regret not getting a 1080 since i'm planning to get a ultrawide 1440p monitor.
Lincoln Cooper
The 1060 and 480 are pretty close in price and performance, to be honest i'm really tempted to wait a little and put down an extra £50 on the 1060Ti or 490 if they ever come out.
Then again, part of me feels i should just pull the gun on the 1060 or 480 right now to avoid components spiking in price over the next few months.
Kevin Hall
470 4GB is the only reasonable option right now.
Everything else is massively overpriced.
Juan Taylor
>They can't optimize for Pascal without optimizing for Maxwell aswell
I'm sure they'll find a way
Lincoln Bennett
Shit I gor a R390 Sapphire and it's not on their site anymore. If aI could get a refund I'd go for that too.
Robert Gutierrez
why is it so cheap? russia is supposed to be under economic blockade.
Isaiah James
Nvidia is just waiting to drop the GTX 1050 3GB
Julian Long
>believing political phrases
Lel
Carter Rivera
>2.75GB
Fixed
Eli Reed
wtf i love russia now
Connor Sanchez
out of depression i bought 2 r9 285 instead of 470
Hudson Young
you could have gotten a r9 290 for 150€ lol
Mason Powell
maybe because the 4 extra GB RAM cost 50 bucks? lol
Elijah Foster
European people..
Hahahahahahaha yeah you mean Muslims and Isis supporters right? Unless a jihad simulator has been released Europe doesn't need any graphics cards.
Jonathan Carter
Gonna order Palit GeForce GTX 1060 tired of waiting 2 weeks for a RX 480
Connor Taylor
Go get a soda murifat. No one takes you seriously with clowns like trump running for president.
Adrian Sanders
I think i cant wait anymore. Gonna buy a palit gtx1070 (despite hating Nvidia) or something as amd's vega cards are still a long wait away it seems. Maybe i sell the 1070 then and switch to the 490 or fury x2 or whatever its called. The prices are a horror though. Nearly 500€ on mindfactory when my 390pcs+ costed 340€ at launch. I hate Europe so much
Dylan King
> so poor i still roll with gtx 660ti
Jackson Reed
Wait you don't want to pay the premium for goysync. At least to know what the 490 and 1080ti offers.
What gpu do you have that you can't wait?
Maybe take a brake from gpu threads to avoid the massive shilling for both companies.
That's not that bad.
Nathan Bailey
what's your current card?
Samuel Thomas
Source kind user?
Austin Brooks
>the video card ACTUALLY HAS A JEW STAR ON IT
lmao amd users confirmed for jewd
Jaxson Watson
I'm buying EVGA's GTX1080 SC next week, for like $900. Poland is terribly expensive.
Ryan Edwards
If the Finnish state treats me well soon, I might be looking at an upgrade to GTX 1070. How's the MSI G1 Gayming Doritos edition? It was something like 460€ on Mindfactory. Mostly interested in noise and temperatures, unless the card is somehow severely underperforming when compared to different brands and versions.
Angel Gutierrez
I'd like to buy a gtx 1060, but since rx 480 basically has better stats I'll trust that trough driver updates it will be a better option for the future.
Camden Nelson
I my go RX 470 MSI gaming X I understand the Sapphire Nitro is only £10 more but Sapphire is terrible returns wise.
Adam Roberts
I never understood this meme. Is Sapphire responsible for the returns of broken products? The store I buy from handles warranty and such issues as far as I know.
Justin Bailey
The store is responsible for a certain period, maybe 1 year or two years. Then it's off to Hungary, their speed at getting their shit together can be abysmal.
Not everything is a "meme".
Kayden Ward
Of course but usually if the card performs well for a year or two it's got no issues and you won't have to return it anyway.
And yes, everything is a meme these days
Ian Cook
But it might do and sadly I can't be arsed returning it cross borders.
Isaiah Wood
Anons what are you ordering?
Hudson Nguyen
Where?
Jackson Jenkins
Dude it's a 120W low end card. Performance isn't low end, but 120W for a video card is really stupid low.
Christopher Wilson
A Gainward 1060 since the AIB 470's are not in stock until god knows when and they are pretty overpriced right now. RX 480 also seems to be nonexistent until September.
Elijah Johnson
Actually it's not the star of Solomon but Ramphen.
Ryder Davis
>Any europoors here about to buy a GPU?
EVGA 1060 SC for 300€, should come in on Monday. There also was the MSI Gaming (non-X) for 302€ on Amazon which has a nice cooler.
Matthew Taylor
The 1060 is tempting because it's that little bit more powerful than the 480... but if Vulcan and DX12 really take off the 480 might be that little bit more powerful than the 1060
Real tough decision. Of course the real world difference is typically around 10% but that 10% can make the difference between a stable 60fps or not.
Blake Cox
Well the 1060 has some OC margin and performs roughly as the 480 in DX12. If it's some small difference, you can just OC and not bother. The kicker is if we see some "DOOM under Vulkan"-tier of improvements where a OC won't bridge the massive gap in performances.
Daniel Lee
I'm going to buy a MSI GTX 750Ti OC 2GB for around 120€ from Amazon.it, but I still have to check other sites, I could find it for lower prices. I want to use it to play old fps games at high perf on a Asus VG248QE screen.
Joshua Stewart
Literally the RX 460 on the 8th. It's the week-end, you're waiting for 3 days, not 3 months.
Isaac Bennett
I'm not looking for a heating system.
Eli Sanchez
It doesn't have a blower but a single fan and runs off the PCI-E slot.
Jace Anderson
>rx460
>a fucking 75w tdp card will be a heater
You know, you could have just said you're not interested in amd cards, and that way you would not sound like a shill
Gabriel Hill
MSI 750Ti Twin Frozr OC has two fans and runs off the PCI-E slot as well.
Anthony Martinez
And performs about half as well, if 470 and 480 are anything to judge by.
Elijah Anderson
>Twin Frozr OC
>On a card that literally looks like this
And is an old ass card that performs like shit. Well if you can't to wait for three days on a week-end...
