Slightly cheaper than list price and free delivery. Just ordered one myself to replace my R9 280X.

The recent Doom Vulkan and Rise of the Tomb Raider updates have really made me impressed with my RX 480 (which was no slouch at all initially.
Looking like Civilisation 6 will be taking full advantage of AMD cards too. :sunglasses:
With DX12 and Vulkan becoming the future in PC gaming, things look great.

It may be, but those benchmarks taken straight from Nvidia marketing material could not possibly be less trustworthy. Equally, the 1060 will cost a fair bit more. Considering the FE is set at £275, you can expect custom cards to mostly be above that, as they are with the 1070 and 1080.

Do these draw less power than the gtx 770? I'm tempted to upgrade but my psu is 520w (albeit platinum rated)

with a 520w platinum rated PSU, you could probably run TWO radeon 480s... you'll be fine!

You'll be fine with any single GPU card out there with a 520W platinum unit (given that it's bound to be a quality OEM like Seasonic with that rating). Even a 390X would be fine, and these draw a lot less power than those do.
After using that calculator above, I could probably shove in a 1080 lol
The gtx 770 is a hungry card!

The 1080 has a TDP of 180 Watts, not much more than the rated output of the the RX 480. You could probably go SLI 1080 with your PSU.

Isn't the nearly released GTX 1060 a better card with better DX12 performance?

We have no idea until we get some proper reviews tbh

You won't get a 1060 for this price. I bet you will struggle to get one below £260 at least at launch anyway. The fanboy edition will probably be around £280 - £290 for us in the U.K so I don't think AIB's will be far behind.

Those games are all pretty Nvidia optimised. I think they're poor on last gen cards too. R9 390 v 970.
