Any non reference RX 480 leaks?

[richough3]

I was wondering if there are any leaks on some non reference RX480s? I'd rather buy an RX 480 with the fans on top instead of with the blower on the reference design.

no ETA or pricing afaik

Sapphire Ed showed the 480 Nitro, or at least a render.

No idea for launch date.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Hopefully non reference models come out mid July. I'm still stumped on which card I should get but I am leaning toward an AIB 8gb 480 as of now.

Any nano version of the 480? Oh wait... Fury Nano is there...
PS: Maybe it's time to AMD to drop prices to the Fury line.

Well I'm sure if they did a 380 ITX they will do a 480 ITX.

Holding out for Sapphire 8GB versions and hopefully some comparisons. If the AIB versions don't overclock well I may just go with a cheaper 4GB model until a Vega version is released which can compete with the 1070.

I'll have a pretty good idea as for whether or not I'm getting this depending on how Nvidia prices the 1060. More founders edition crap and I go with AMD again. A lick of sense and 4gb vram and the 480 is doa as far as I'm concerned. The only question is will Nvidia charge more because they can get it, or charge the same to kick AMD while they're down, stealing the value crown back days after AMD finally got it again.

apparently its 250usd. and comes in 3gb and 6gb with 192bit bus

I'm seeing in the Techspot review that a 7% OC yielded an 8% increase in performance in the two games they tested. Is this normal because it is just a small OC?

Which one is 250$. the 3gb version or 6?

IIRC the rumor claimed the 3 gig is $250 and the 6 gig is $300, with a chance for price drops. The rumor also claimed the announcement would be July 7th, with release a week later. Interestingly, that puts the launch of reference 1060s right when custom AIB versions of the RX 480 will hopefully show up.

There's zero confirmation, of course.

maybe 6 Gb?

I want two fans and an 8-pin power connector. I'm waiting for Sapphire Nitro.

Kyle Bennet:
AIB partners are reporting to me this morning that with extremely good custom air coolers the 480 GPUs are seeing from 1480MHz to 1600MHz clocks, but tell me it is a “lottery draw” on GPUs.

I wonder why they went with 3gb and 6gb and how this will stack against the 480. I would think a 3gb card now would be a no buy for most people if you can get an 8gb 480 for $250.

Is that an Asus with a cooler that overhangs the board I see? Niiiice.

Sapphire Ed showed the 480 Nitro, or at least a render.

I like the look of the dreamboat stealth colander.

I hope gigabyte comes out with a nice fan model too.

3GB and 6GB because of the use of 192 bit memory bus, you can't have power of 2 memory size with 192 bit bus, same as GTX 980Ti with 384 bit bus

64/128/256/512 bit..etc is needed for 4GB/8GB/16GB..etc

 

[HannooFX]

Which one is 250$. the 3gb version or 6?

3GB, 6GB for $299

There is also the PowerColor Devil coming in the week of July 11th.

The 2GB GTX 960 launched against the 3GB AMD 280 and was still very successful.

The 3.5GB GTX 970 also sold better than the 8GB 390.

It will matter only if the prices are similar if I were to be interested in getting that card. Hope aib models will be out soon and more info about this 1060.
