Radeon Rx 480. Wait for the custom card to ship though.

It's only an issue if you have a Walmart motherboard from the 60s or use your mobo as a plate to eat your food. It's safe. One thing you can do is under volt the card which also had a bonus effect of increasing performance in some games. AMD is also going to release a fix.

Yes I Agree, wait for the seperate vendors to release their cards, or when possible see what the 1060's pricing & specs are.

[Flavortown2k16]

Wait for the 1060 and aftermarket versions of the 480. If you are ready to snip your dick in half just to get a 480 then either steal it from someone or pray to god you find small store with still stock of it. Also if you mobo aint some fancy oc machine then theres the power issue that can shutdown the pc and MAY cause damage to the mobo

Accoring to benchamrks, RX 480 is better than GTX 970, so it would be unwise to pay more for less performance.

[Teddy07]

Have the kids of today no patience? I mean seriously what would you do if AMD delayed their rx 480 for another month?

 

Just wait another month for good aftermarket cards

Your correct in most games and few games the gtx 970 is better. I guess it depends on if he wants to wait or not for the amd partners to come out with the better cards.

The RX 480 is an newer card than the GTX 970, with more vRAM and better DirectX 12 performance. It will *likely* outperform the GTX 970 across the board once AMD releases more optimized drivers, and even in its current state performs slightly better in many games. At $200, it's a better buy than the 970. 

Waiting for the aftermarket cards is a matter of choice. AMD has officially stated that they will be releasing a software fix for the RX 480's PCI-E power draw issue, so buying a reference board is a non-issue regardless of the quality of your motherboard. If you want better overtclocking performance, wait for the aftermarket cards. If you don't care about that, then don't.

The new update for the rx 480 is coming out tomrrow so does that mean if I order one from Newegg tomrrow it should be the updated one right?

[DXMember]

yes (:

[magnumkobra]

No, if its hardware related then no.

[Samson_ST]

wait a while, then see the reviews and comments

[magnumkobra]

id reccomend waiting untill the board partners produce cards since the cooling will be better.

[Samson_ST]

but its ok to get it, if you wont overclock it

[naseem142]

I wouldn't get the reference one, look at those temps http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-480-polaris-10,4616-10.html

aib cards will be released real soon so i'd rather wait if i were you.

[Simon771]

I would hold off on buying refference card.

First of all, we all know that there is some problem with PCI power draw. Not sure if that can be fixed via drivers, but lets give them a chance.

 

But that's not the only reason to wait. Temperatures with stock cooler are just horrible, unless you create custom fan curve, but in this case, fan will be pretty damn loud.

 

So if I were you, I would just wait for RX 480 nitro from sapphire, with at least 2 fans.

In the end it's up to you, but I think it's better for you to wait for it

Where can I buy an rx 480 online I can't find it anywhere 

[Jade]

newegg, amazon, ncix... region is pretty relevant, here

[Zyndo]

tough to get one atm. everyone bought them, so supply is low (much like the pascal launch). give it a few weeks and you'll start seeing more of them.

 

As far as where to get one, pretty much any online electronics retailer such as newegg, amazon, NCIX, etc will carry them. Your local computer stores may also try stocking a few

[magnumkobra]

I Think he means in stock. There is a shortage because so many people want them.

[Jared121]

http://m.ncix.com/products/search?q=Rx+480  why are all the rx 480s I see now $330 I thought they were only $200

[19_blackie_73]

Yes. Ravenous amd fans storming pc shops like zombies. Also its out of stock just around everywhere 

[Zyndo]

Well 2 things.

 

1, high demand, low supply...  basic economics.

2. You are looking at 8GB versions in that link. those were supposed to be around the 230-240 area
