Leaked benchmarks for AMD Radeon RX 480 hits minimum VR spec for $199

[JEMC]

Aftermarket RX 480 cards may finally ship soon!

From OverclockersUK, the first store to list the Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro, we now know that the first cards will ship this same weekend, but in extremely low quantities. By next week, tho, supply will increase dramatically.

Hi there


Right Sapphire have given me some great news this morning, their initial batches that they tested they have agreed to ship exclusively to OcUK in the world. The first batch is a real small number as of course they are not from a full scale production run but a small production batch test run.

So OcUK customers will be the first in the world to receive a Nitro+ OC card, the first batch is likely to be around only 30 units and could be with ourselves as early as next Monday!!!

Then they shall hopefully ship 1000-2000 units next weekend to ourselves to clear the remaining backorders, 4GB cards should also be in that batch too.

Hopefully the same will be true for the rest of AIB partners.
