lol amd
I would like one of the Board partners version from Sapphire, MSI, ASUS, XFX or Gigabyte preferably an OC edition with factory overclock.
We need one of these.
The one with the long title isn't a product page it is a review
Beware! The AMD RX 480 has a known power issue where it draws alot of power from the PCI-E slot. This is should not be an issue for most people. But if you happen to have an old or cheap motherboard then you might face issues where your PC turns itself off when the card is under heavy load.

I have heard that this was corrected in a driver update.

They corrected it after I posted that comment. But it's good that you mentioned it because I was too lazy to inform everyone.
Gtx 1079, because more bang for the buck! (Compared to other gtx graphics card's).
The benchmarks are not even out yet, and you're touting it as VR capable? The first Polish "review" leaked one day early (taken down now) seemed to put it a few frames behind GTX 970. VR ready? Come on. It's great for what it is, but it certainly is not pushing 90Hz at 2K at any good level of detail.

m8 this is a midrange card and from the reviews I've seen its on par with a 970, a high end card at its release, which is the recommended spec for VR. If you want to spend £650 on a 1080 be my guest but not everyone can afford the monster cards.
Thats true mate
lets see how cheap we can get this graphics card down to
lets go rx480. Im new here about how many votes does it take to get them to consider it for pre-order? I am getting 2 of these one way or another and would love to do it sooner rather than later (aka waiting an extra month for amazon and newegg)
Oh marketing. AMD will never be cooler.
Hopefully the specs are better than an r9 280x...just sold mine so i can afford one of theses when it comes out!

Its meant to be a little better than the GTX 980 if that helps.
true that... but not only for AMD or even only graphics cards. Reviews help a lot, but even then, they are not the end of the story, unfortunatelly...
Its less powerfull so ofc it should be cooler.

its a completly new manufacturing process at 14NM its not hot or inefficient at all.
Sorry, somehow I managed to post the RX480 8GB version twice. And it doesn't seem to be possible to delete them.. (If it is gone for you, then some mod must have come in and deleted the duplicate one)

How about reading about this new card? It's supposed to be cooler and more power efficient than the gtx 10xx series.
Or get some cheap water cooling system. With the price difference between the 1080 and rx480, you could definitely afford water cooling
