is this the only rx480 custom model worth considering ?
Is this the only rx480 custom model worth considering ?

MSI is good as well
its shame that sapphire let us down
Austin Ramirez
>that star of david on the backplate
why
Mason Sanders
At first I thought they actually meant to put a hexagram on the backplate (which is a symbol for braking a seal while pentagram is symbolizing a seal) but then I've heard that they did that as a mistake.
Zachary Collins
i think it's funny
Tyler Baker
The MSI and XFX are also good
Daniel Price
the XFX gets pretty noisy apparently
Brayden Fisher
had few Gigabyte models, no issues.. also loving their warranty
>flash wrong BIOS
>card bricked
>here, a new model for only a price difference
>rinse and repeat
Luis Evans
XFX and Sapphire are worth looking, my man.
Charles Harris
I'm going MSI because they have a UK base and get good reviews. Should be getting mine delivered Friday.
Robert Cooper
Just get a gtx 1060
Jason Fisher
Nawww mang. The MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X is £33 more to buy from my neck of the woods.
Connor Richardson
just buy the cheapest one and OC it, still better than RX 480
Easton Miller
>buy a card that is basically the same for more money
You do know that £33 is a lot of money, right?
Honestly the 1060 and 480 are extremely powerful cards and you won't need to replace them for a while.

there is no reason whatsoever to buy the RX 480 in europe

>there is no reason whatsoever to buy the RX 480 in europe
maybe they want the Vulkan/DX12 performance? maybe they want the extra VRAM? maybe they can't afford the extra $50-100?
Jonathan Howard
>vulkan/dx12 performance
buy a card in a couple of years time when d3d11 has been phased out
>extra VRAM
why? 6 GiB suffices for 1080p
>can't afford the extra $50-100
Bentley Stewart
All of those and also I hate Goysinc greedmongers.
Ian Thomas
But I want to play DX12/Vulkan now.
Zachary Brown
Wait, why is the sapphire version bad?
Gabriel Robinson
no, only the sapphire, just like every AMD card
Sebastian Gonzalez

You're right, but not in the way you think
Levi Nguyen
noisy and hot
Jacob Wright
>6 GiB suffices for 1080p
4gb suffices for 1440p
Dominic King
>Goysinc greedmongers.
another good point. Freesync is so much cheaper than Gsync
Ian Sanchez
>dx12
the games you play in d3d12 on rx480 will have similar performance in d3d11 on 1060
>vulkan
i think you meant to say doom
that proves my point
?
thats only relevant if you havent got a monitor yet
Elijah Cruz
sure, but I bet there's a lot of people who want to make the jump from 1080p to 1440 or even 2k soon, so I'm sure freesync/gsync will come come into the equation for some of them
for me, I know I'd rather get an AMD card, just because Freesync is ~$200 less than Gsync for the same specs. my friend almost didn't buy his 1070 because of Gsync prices, but ultimately he got the 1070 anyway, because best performance for his pricerange
I'm not saying it's a massive factor, but it's definitely something to consider
Logan James
RX 460 OC performs as good as RX 480
unless you give a shit about power usage
Kayden Evans
i wanted to buy a 1440p monitor too, but ive got a 27" 1080p one now. when you're sat 50cm away it looks really good, i cant imagine switching any time soon.
i'll have to look into that, cheers.
Samuel Smith

I have a 1440p chink monitor I got for $50 used, and honestly I don't really notice the extra pickles. if I had paid $250 for the monitor new, or fucking $500 for a Dell or LG panel, I would've returned it within 2-3 hours
1440p is definitely better than 1080p, but not that noticeable a lot of the time
Daniel Cruz
What a missed opportunity for marketing.

Christopher Martinez
>RX 460 OC performs as good as RX 480
You mean RX 470
Leo Reyes
Only? No.
I have two Nitro 480's, the top one runs warm but doesn't throttle.
Jaxson Rogers
aftermarket 470 = stock 480
aftermarket 480 = stock 1060
if you're spending more than stock 1060 buy a 980
Joseph Morales
Pretty sure that's the seal of Solomon not a star of David?
John Jenkins
>3 fans
why???
Ryder Wood
3 > 2
why do you have t obe this stupid
Austin Mitchell
you do know rx480 does more teraflops. pretty sure its the better option for the long run
David Lee
4>3, why not 4??
Wyatt King
i put faith in benchmarks, not theoretical figures
Josiah Rogers
I dont play games, so I want the one with more computational power (and its even cheaper).
Sebastian Foster
the technology just isnt there yet
Isaiah Jackson
would you break her seal for her power of graphics computing?
Nathaniel Perry
It has been done.
Alexander Brown
why did "sapphire let us down"
Jayden Anderson
...
Charles Allen
That was a pre-production model, the final model has a pentagram as it was supposed to
Caleb Wright
Doesn't the nitro run nearly at the average OC limit?
Michael Kelly
>not 6
Isaiah Kelly
That's just 3 with a large heatsink you dumbo.
Easton Long
It has 6 fans
and 4 8 pin connectors
Ryan Perry
Freesync ma nigga
Seriously fuck nvidia with their g-sync.
Dylan Ortiz
Huge as fuck cooler for like 5C better cooling.
Brayden Reyes
this
I have a freesync monitor, now I can't even be tempted by the green fire jew
Sebastian Jackson
sure it is family
Isaac Hernandez
If nvidia had freesync support they would pick up a lot of AMD users.
