Arrr! Can't wait for these cards! For the full lineup of custom versions and OC tests. I hope stock is around the performance of 980, while after OC it gets near 980Ti. It would be the greatest steal in history of GPUs

Though unfortunately I really don't like what Sapphire showed, which is sad, considering I wanted to buy their card. I hope MSI and others release a sexy looking card.

If the RX 480 ends up being close to 980Ti in performance, it will be the deal of the century.

Which is a way to say that I don't think it will be that fast.

The 4GB model should be fine for me since I game at 1080p. I might get the 8GB model though, for high res texture mods.

With current consoles having 8GB, it's worth getting the 8GB card even if you only plan to play at 1080p.

 

By the way, some weirdo chinese has made a livestream "review" of the RX 480. Nothing interesting has come out of it (so far), besides a few details like that it uses 14W at idle, or a picture of the new overclocking tool from AMD
