WTF is going on!

Gibbo has said that MSI have only shipped 30 480s for the whole of Europe. That's why he's priced them so high. The regular price will be £269.99 once MSI provide stock.

Holy kek! WTF is going on in AMD land!
Price gouging from low supply and high demand, typical shit every year.
Just hold out for a couple weeks. I wouldn't pay £250 for a 8gb 480, you can get 1060s for that.

i don't want anything fancy, i just want to play vidya in 1080p and 60 FPS

Is that 470 a good buy? I read that its power draw is a bit high.
>>55931795
Power draw for the 470 is around the 130w mark but gets a lot higher if you overclock it.

If you can afford 480 you're not fucking poor.
>>55931795
basically cut down 480 about from what I seen 10fps drop max in dx11 games.
if that suits you, go for it.

I'm concerned of how close it gets when OC'd to compensate as shown here
100 watt over the 1060 seems a bit much to compensate.
