  1. Yer Ebuyer have 4GB stock coming in on the 31st and £174ish http://www.ebuyer.com/751840-xfx-amd-radeon-rx-480-4gb-gddr5-hdmi-3x-displayport-pci-e-graphics-rx-480m4bfa6 Dont for get there is a possibility to flash the 4GB to 8GB on early cards, no guarantee you will get one with all the memory modules on though!
  2. By then the partner cards of the RX 480 might be out, they have more ram and have cross fire (no sli on the 1060 remember) so you can slot another one in in future if your motherboard allows. Also when you come to buy try looking on Maplins web site i just bought a MSI GTX 1070 gaming X for £420 off them and Scan and overclockers have put theirs up to £470 because of availability! Maplin dont seem to bump prices up, if out of stock just fill in the alert me by email when back in stock and jump all over it when it does that's what i did. Good luck which ever way you go, i would of waited for vega but relly needed a new card... got a feeling AMD are going to to be better at DX12 and Vulkan.
  3. My MSI Gaming x has just arrived today! Performance wise i dont think theres much between them. Have to say the MSI build quality looks great! In the UK their customer support seems really good, they went out the way to sent me an IO shield for my Gaming 5 mobo when i didn't receive one in an open box purchase. If only MSI did a million edition of the 1070 in the green would be perfect for you!
  4. Just sold my old PC with the Z97 gaming 5 and 4770k because i got an MSI Gaming pro in a deal but having installed it i just can get over the Sata and USB 3 ports sticking up rather than being on the side and on a NZXT s340 it ruins the clean look. So the pro is going on ebay! Fickle i know...
  5. looks like it, just got to wonder why, and by the sounds of it the g45 was cheaper at some point, i was think maybe power phases but ive not looked properly yet.
  6. HI all, ive searched hi and low on the internet and on MSIs web site but am struggling to see the difference between MSI Z170A Gaming M5 and MSI Z170A Gaming G45, bother are similar prices and pretty much as from what i can see the same spec? Leaning to the M5 but out of stock in scan at the moment. Thanks in advance.
  7. Dont like to post this type of thing but.. As title, I just snapped one up when i got the back in stock email through 30 mins ago, there not ripping people off (for now) like Scan and overclockers. be quick £420! Free delivery http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/msi-geforce-gtx-1070-gaming-x-8gb-gddr5-graphics-card-a18xx
  8. What the actual F*%K! Overclockers UK have put the price up from £455 Yesterday to £469.99 today!!!! https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-geforce-gtx-1070-gaming-x-8g-8192mb-gddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-32a-ms.html #Rubs hands, im out!
  9. Yer thats out of stock if you look and i dont want a blower style card. Thanks for the link though
  10. Umm maybe If there is a thread complaining about it every day then there is something to it
  11. Thats what im asking am i wrong to complain, do the figures speak for them selves? The GPU market probably makes sense in the US but for the rest of us less so. I see you have 1070, what was the price like in Thailand? Did you feel it was fair? Ive almost talked my self into thinking the price is just fine because i want a 1070 Gaming x which is £450 right now in the UK but then i think, gees cards didn't cost this much.
  12. I posted this earlier on another thread but im wonder if anyone else agrees or do i have it all wrong? This is just how i feel at the moment from the information i have in front of me or rather researching from the the interwebs and being in the market for a gpu at the moment i just feel a pee'd off. Just feel its getting a bit out of control, maybe i can win the lotto and buy a 1.5k Titan P lol " I bought a EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB model a month or so after launch here in UK, which was pretty much the most expensive 960 you could buy. It was £169.99 and offered about half the performance of a GTX 970. Given that the RX 480 is around half the performance of a GTX 1070 and is here in the UK £235 - £250 were not doing very well at this price point as the consumer is now paying £65 ~ £80 more for the relative performance of the high end cards. There is no way that the GTX 1060 will cost £170 or even £230 or even £250... We will be looking at the £260 to £280 i can bet you! So for the relative performance of the 10 series cards we are now paying over £100 extra to what we did on the 9 series. Just to add, you could say... Well the GTX 1070 has the performance of a GTX980TI and the GTX 1060 will be GTX 980 level so look at the performance your getting for your money... to that i say so it bloody should its called progress!!! There is no law to say we can only have 20% increase in performance between generations so with one hand they give with the other they take away... Well from you wallet any way! " I know were are only going on rumors and leaks at the moment regarding the GTX 1060 but most have been accurate so far.

  14. Even Rip off Maplin have the card at £420 but only as they have no stock... Yes watch it go up when they do.
