Dont suppose you have found out anywhere the over all length of the card? Trying to squeeze it into an m-itx build, havent found any further info on any of the Aib cards yet.

nope, sorry, shouldn't have any clearance issues in my case so wasn't really a factor for me

Some good info on AIB 480's here...

The power connector gets bumped up to 8 pin on most cards but I can see some of the more expensive coolers really bumping the € price up.

I'm surprised by length of all these. The length of the PCB on the reference 480 seems to be relatively small and I thought someone would of come out with a similar size AIB to target smaller cases

I'm assuming they are minor modifications to existing designs to reduce production and assembly costs.

Thinking of going for this to replace my 660ti which died much too early. Thoughts?

480 will give you a decent jump from the 660ti so a decent choice. I havent come across reviews for custom 480's yet but sapphire are usually a reliable choice. Personally id wait and check out a few reviews for the different AiB's and grab one then. No indications yet that stock will be a major problem so waiting shouldnt be too penal to you.

MarkAnthony

I'm surprised no AiBs have reached the reviewers yet.

If anyone doesn't want to wait for AiB cards, you can get a 3rd-party cooler like this single-fan or this dual-fan and an XFX or MSI stock model.

Both companies allow cooler replacement: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kfLWcuVdauptOIAgHc2THuDj2-gvQQLipNmCCx1FaNI/edit#gid=0

Is there any retailer with the 4GB RX480 in stock? I'm in need of a new card ASAP (my 7950 died on me, stuck using an ancient 4850). I'm not an enthusiast so the 4GB version for 199$ is perfect for my needs.

It ain't that price over here, try more like €240+

No one seems to have stock anyhow.

TerrorFirmer

The GTX970 is actually the same price now, around €230-40, still a solid buy if needed urgently.

I thought so too, yet it seems Newegg has the XFX card (which is currently out of stock) down as 180 Euro. I was under the impression that the 8GB would be around 250 Euro.

I was considering that as well and the benchmarks seem similar. I'll do some more research.

TerrorFirmer

That's converted dollars though and doesn't include customs, tax or whatever else. The 480 8GB starts at around €270 or so and the 4GB isn't a huge amount less. 970 is more or less on-par but as time goes on the 480 should get better with mature drivers.

The GTX1070 was also advertised at $379 but it starts here at around €450.

Where can you actually get a 1070 for €450 tho as most Iv looked at are much closer to €500.

On geizhals.de there are two models starting at €460. A KFA one and the base Inno3D model. Delivery not included.

So thats the very bottom end but yeah most are around the €500 mark

Did the Vulcan update for Doom, getting about 119fps on Ultra!

Hand delivered from the States so cost me 200 euro even for the Sapphire reference card. Honestly, for that money this card is insane, it's hard to imagine any game at 1080p that's gonna be beyond it.

What's the rest of your spec?

ShadowHearth

What do you think guys, would this do for 2560x1080 60fps with high settings?

Any reviews out for the aib cards yet?

Would rx480 be enough to run that resolution with particular frame rate and that setting of graphical fidelity. :pac:

I see that we are in the RX 480 thread alright now that I am on my PC was on my phone earlier and thought I was in the Off topic thread.

Digital Solitude

I'd be surprised if it wouldn't with current AAA games, Ultra settings would be pushing it a bit though. Its a lower res than 1440p though so I imagine you'll be fine, just look at 1440p benchmarks and take it from there. However it runs at 1440p, it'll be a little better for you.

BloodBath

A 480 will smash most games at 2560x1440/60hz.

The AIB's will be equivalent to a GTX 980 in DX11 with much better DX12 and Vulkan support and performance and double the memory.

Eoinmc97

Just a heads up:
OCUK Bumped their Nitro prices by £6

Akingbade

Hey guys, question.

So I'm in the UK at the moment and looking to buy a RX 480 from OCUK however I'm leaving back for Ireland on the 26th. I'm wondering if I should pay 220 for the reference 8gb now or wait for the aib 4gb versions? Which from reading their forums, they are trying to have it for sub 200 (which I doubt will happen), ill probably end up paying between 220- 240 for a 4gb aib including delivery to ireland. I'm going to build my rig around 27th and rather not wait for a gpu (I have the 970 currently).

So what do yous think?

RX480 isn't much of an upgrade from GTX 970 tbh, unless you're going for a Freesync monitor.

Yeah I found a freesync ips monitor for a little extra than an ips monitor I was going for so I figured might as well go with the freesync. I got the 970 quite cheap and haven't used it yet, at worst case ill get back what I paid for it.

RossieMan

I may be interested in your 970 depending on price. Having looked at reviews I'm thinking of holding off on the rx480 fora couple of months. Throw me a message if you're selling.

Sure, ill send you a pm now.

Don't get a reference card aking, definitely wait for the AIBs

Glebee

Looking to upgrade from a R6950. Anybody any thoughts on this card?? Should see a massive increase in performance??
