Please...this graphics card isn't gonna blow your motherboard up. The only people that might run into trouble are those who are running big over voltage on the graphics card, and to be doing that you should be using a high quality motherboard and power supply anyway. If your running a cheap £50 motherboard and power supply and try running big overvolt on the graphics card then that's that persons own stupid fault if it goes wrong.

A single card is the best solution, that's the answer. The whole 2X RX480 versus GTX1070/80 is silly.

Most reviews I've seen put the 480 slightly ahead of the 970 in DX11 games and ahead of the 980 in DX12 games. Why would you buy a used 970 over this if they are the same price? Or even if it was £10-£20 cheaper?
You would be buying a discontinued product with little or no warranty, poor DX12 support, poor future driver optimisation and very little future resale value. Also 4GB > 3.5GB anyday, especially when newer games take advantage of more VRAM.

I wanted to say thanks for posting this. I just checked out lots of reviews and and all authors say that for the price the 480 is really good and cant be beaten at it's price point.
I have also been reassured that because similar technology is in the PS4, XBOX One (and future consoles).

So desperately trying to hold out till the 1060\460\470s hit, so it brings parity to all the new gen cards\give all the manufacturers time to come up with their own designs\ 2nd run improvements\ a million other reasons...
If they're in stock tomorrow i'll more than likely snap. Must... stay... strong!

I know the struggle trying to wait and see what the gtx 1060 has to offer or better yet the aib version's of the 480.
