>>55375514
Not in some cases,
Anyone heard anything about putting something like a liquid cooled solution on this card?
Alright I'm not sure if thats White or Metal
>>55375579
Looks like aluminum
>>55375575
Yes, but the cooling solution is not the real problem of the card.
>>55375579
Looks like metal.
>>55375492
>>55375512
>>55375537
The 300 series nitros look way nicer imho.

Except that this isn't a short card, it's 27cm minimum based on the pictures.
I was hoping to buy a 480 because it was a small & short card with good price and decent performance... but not I have to wait for AIB versions, and those end up with huge pcb and huge price.

Except that it is a short card, relatively speaking. The Sapphire one there is certainly no longer than the reference model, which was a very modest side by modern standards.

I wouldn't know, I have a job.
will there be a 4GB version too?
m yfavorite online shop doesnt eevn list the 4GB version anymore, maybe becasuse they all sold out already and 8GB are the leftovers.
I understand that 8GB is only necessary if you run 4k or crossfire two of them
>>55376122
Around that yeah which is good. Reference is 229-239 so around $30 more for a really nice cooler and proper power connector.
>>55376211
Doubtful.
>>55376211
I read they are cutting back production of the 4Gb to focus on the 8Gb since it is so popular.
>>55375831
>Except that it is a short card, relatively speaking.
No it isn't. Fucking 27cm is almost a full length card. Having every single goddamn card 30cm should not be something that is expected.
>The Sapphire one there is certainly no longer than the reference model, which was a very modest side by modern standards.
1. the reference model had a much shorter PCB with a cooler that extended the PCB by 5cm or so. This one has a way wider pcb.
2. the reference model had the power connector on the side. This one has it on the BACK, which means that when installed it is way wider.
>>55376049

When is it coming out
And where can i buy it in the US
>>55375405
Any bechmarks out yet?
>>55375405
Nice looking card. No word on the clock speed?
is this really worth it over the 390 if I can get a brand new one for the same price as a 480? I like 3-fan nitros more and got a 750 gold PSU.
>>55376637
well i would go and get it just because of two things honestry
1)HWS programmable ace engines
2) fucking better anti gameworks perfomance

>>55375405

That's $330 though, not exacly a steal anymore.
If it's not gonna go below the 300 mark I'll be getting a 1070 instead.
>>55376783
Pretty sure they gonna be quite close on dx12....
the refrence is only 11 fps behind of 1070...
>>55376783
Now subtract the 20% VAT and you've the US price.
Spoiler: It's $264.
>>55376783
20% VAT
Would a 390x still be worth it at a good price? Amazon has the Nitro version for $309.99.
>>55376783
>330 is too much, so i'm gonna spend 450
>>55375405
damn that was fast.. too expensive for me though
>>55377026
Probably not.
If aftermarket cards can be released with good clocks, then it would be waste to get 390X aftermarket.
>>55377111
Alright. I'll just wait for this then. Is it up for preorder on a burgersite yet?
>>55377065
It's called price/performance.
If AMD is going to push overpriced trash shit you might as well wait a little and save up for a decent card.
>>55377172
>decent card
i hope you dont mean nvidia lol
>>55377172
they will get BTFO by the 1060 anyways. The price will drop for sure.

>>55388397
It seems like less of an overhaul and more an entirely new build.
1. Any particular reason for the low profile cpu cooler?
2. I'd recommend a lower wattage, higher efficiency, modular powersupply.
750w is pretty overkill for a single mid tier gpu
A gold rating will pay for itself with time
Modular cables are just nicer to work with.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438054 is just $25 more.
3. No SSD?
Other than that it's pretty standard.

AMDrones so blind. did you really think you were getting a $200 card? It's marketing magic - say there will be a low priced version so you can market high numbers with low price but then never really offer low priced version. Car dealers do the same thing - can't buy the car without some of the optional options.

>>55389526
Overclockers are selling 1070's for over £100 more, most are £150 more. That is waaaaay too much of a difference to make someone consider the 1070 as a alternative to the 480.
should I go for a sapphire 390 if I find it for the same price as a 480? I like Sapphire's 3-fan models a lot more, and the 390 is plenty for a single 1080 monitor.
is there any advantage to the 480? people were claiming it did better in jooworks games than the 300 series.
>>55393945
yes, the 390 will OC past the 480's reference card and other 480 vendors that can compete or surpass a 390 will cost around 250-60 USD
>>55393945
The 480 is better in some areas than a 390 but equally the 390 simply has that much more hardware. In fact that is partly why all hawaii cards are aging like fine wine - hawaii is a very brute force architecture so it takes quite a bit to make it miss a beat.
Naturally that is also why those cards suck down electricity like americans inhale burgers.
>>55394060
If you are going to OC a 390 you better have a psu capable of keeping up - those cards are THIRSTY.

>VDDC Power In: 367.5 watts
>>55394310
Thats what a +50% power target does on a 250w card. I've actually managed to push the card right to the power limit before (see pic) but keeping it stable at these clocks wasn't happening. It would pass some benchmarks (mostly ingame ones) and then crash in others.
Point is if you are going to extract every inch of performance from a hawaii based card you best make sure your psu can keep up with the load.

>>55394168
>those cards suck down electricity like americans inhale burgers
Fucking this. I slapped a 390 in a computer built in 2009 with a 1200 watt psu and still get crashes if I overclock the card. I thought it was my PSU but turns out its the motherboard.
Besides the heavy CPU bottleneck coming from my i7 930 , apparently the motherboard sometimes fails to deliver enough power to the PCI slot in overclock / graphic intensive situations where the GPU drains all the power.
Which is annoying as fuck. If im too close to an explosion generating alot of particles , my computer suddenly shutdowns. Some mobo vendors actually sell a power cable that plugs into one of your pcie slots to deliver the required power no matter the gpu load.
>>55375405

>XFX dropped something like 40 bucks
You made the right choice. My best friend's fiance bought an XFX 390. Good looking card. Temps aren't quite as cool as mine, but it's not a $40 difference, and you have a reference PCB so you can always watercool in the future.

But it is also a major outlier of the 960s.
It is not uncommon for GPUs to Peak above the 66W-71W @ 12V specification, but the 480 is the first GPU that has its mean and mode above that.
>>55395425
If you aren't overclocking the reference card is okay. It gets the job done - there is absolutely nothing special about it. Typically people buy AIB cards for the better coolers and (often) higher clocks.

DX12, 4.5GB more VRAM, likely has a better future performance overall
The real question is should you get a 390 instead. - My XFX 390 is out benching these reference 480s and it's at a low-ish OC (1125/1600)
>>55395498
Leave memory at stock and push the core higher.
>>55395498
>DX12
the 970 supports DX12 too you mongrel
>>55395546
That was the first direction I went, it maxes out at 1150 with +100mV/+50%. I have a XG270HU, so I've made an assumption that the tradeoff of 25MHz core for 100MHz Memory should be worth it.
>>55395498
Problem with 390 is I need to buy a new psu
>>55395498
I think at this point the smart move for a single card is to get a 390 off someone trying to meme his way to the 480 as they sell cheap and are generally better cards.
The 480 seems perfect for crossfire setups though. 400 bucks for 2 cards such as this one is pretty gud.

>>55395568
In the same way a blind man sees with a seeing eye dog.
>>55395581
>so I've made an assumption that the tradeoff of 25MHz core for 100MHz Memory should be worth it.
You'd be wrong. Hawaii isn't bandwidth limited in any meaningful way so memory overclocking does virtually nothing. Core clocks are whats important.
>>55395621
I'll mess around with it then.
i wish it was physically possible to fuck this card. to bad i already have a 980ti.
COME ON RADEON GIVE ME SOMETHING GREAT FOR 4K SO I CAN BLOW MY HARD EARNED MONEY HURRY THE FUCK UP
>>55395568
Hot off the presses.
>>55395546
If I push the clock higher my entire computer shuts down during gameplay. Should I get the powergate or is there some magic fix ?
Ive read of plebbit that a BIOS update should fix most problems people are having with OCd 480s but my motherboard is so old I dont know if they still update the BIOS anymore.
>>55395582
Because a 390 + i5/7 can't fit on a 550W PSU
>>55395585
dont bother man. get a 1070. not hating but its too close to have to deal with multi card setups. this 480 is the peoples card when used by itself though. i wish i was poor so i could get more excited.
>>55395568
With software emulation, sure.
>>55377488
Reckon this kind of card was not designed for micro builds
>>55395652
If its a quality 550w unit it most certainly can.
>>55395664
Agreed.
I like AMD, but if buying everything at once: Single Stronger Card > Dual Weaker everytime.
right now I got a cheap ass Thermaltake 600w PSU that has been working fine for 7 years.
Should I upgrade to an EVGA 650 GS or 750 G2 if I plan to run a single 390 and OC it?
My mobo is the Asus p8z77-vlk.
>>55395652
an i7 uses like 150 watts and the graphics card uses 300 watts, and everything else is negligible.
>>55395242
Usually.
I want to fuck those tits.
>>55395699
2d tits feel like crayon material and cause chafing
>>55395698
The only 150w i7's are the enthusiast chips - the consumer line i7 chips are 100w and under (depending on how old said i7 is).
>>55395698
>i7 using 150W
Are you using a 5820K? Because even the 4790 only uses around 110W.
>>55395696
Yes , definitely. Although most problems ive had with my 390 originate from the mobo , you really should get the 750w psu if you plan on overclocking.
Fucking 1200w and I still get power issues. Fucking hell I wish my 14 years old self wasnt dumb enough to buy proprietary dell crap because its got alien logos on it , now Ill either be waiting for a BIOS update , a powergate cable or an entirely new motherboard.
>>55375818
Please stop using your 10 years old monitor
>$130 more
I just want something cheap but good. I think I'll just get the GTX 960.
>inb4 970
find me one for $200 and I'll get it.

You can thank me later.
>>55375492
Why? My current card has it next to the HDMI and Display Ports... Now I have to rearrange everything again.

Ha! No. Shit card.

To clean the heatsink.

>Extra RMA for the fans
Fucking lel, I have owned 4 Sapphire cards since the HD7000 days and 3 out of them developed rattling fans after 2 years of use or less. I'd say I was unlucky but that's too much of a coincidence, I don't know how their fans can be so crap.
>>55395785
Say your fan stops working, instead of having to RMA the whole GPU, they can just send you a new fan.
Fans with LEDzors ...
Possibility of 3rd party fans with better airflow/pressure
>>55395798
Oh, so now you want to be picky?
>>55395802
yes, that's why i'm asking for somebody to explain it to me.
>>55395813
>Oh, so now you want to be picky?
I'm a different anon, but just because a $200 970 exists doesn't mean you should get it.
>>55395785
In addition to what already said, it'd make it easier to clean the heatsink of dust.
>>55395832
(different person as well)
Well, the dude did just say a 970 with no qualifiers. He walked into that himself.
>>55395428
990x... Which I basically have 2 of ;) ;) ;) Shilling so hard rn fgts LGA1366 4life
