Welp... There goes my recommendation for getting a Rx 480. PCs having blackouts during demanding sessions on budget mobos...? Yea... The Rx 480 is targeting budget builds and if the budget builds are the ones experiencing the issues, then da faq is the point in getting it? Hopefully the AIB cards don't have this issue.

Hopefully. Custom cards like the Sapphire Nitro and PowerColor Devil are replacing the 6-pin power connector for an 8-pin one, and the Asus Strix will use two power connectors (either two 6-pin, or one 8 & one 6-pin), so the card will be able to get the extra power it needs from the connectors, not the PCI-e lane.

 

Or, if you don't care about brands and just performance/money, maybe you should wait for the GTX 1060, that looks to be on par with the GTX 980...

Wow, that is pretty awesome specs if true. Waiting a few more days for the budget build wouldn't hurt.
