eBuyer have this fairly capable card reduced to £239.99, which is lower than it's ever been on Amazon according to 3 Camels. Yes, it's more than in the USA, and way over the anticipated £199 retail price, but with the pound having dropped so much against the dollar this year it looks a good deal to me.
Having posted this, Amazon currently have every other 8GB RX480 listed as one per customer and the MSI Gaming X card has a stupid high RRP of £299 in the listing. Could they be planning a Black Friday week Lightning Deal on this card anyway?
Saturday 19th November 9pm £239.99 on Amazon too.
As Amazon have now price matched this card with Ebuyer, I'm going to buy two from Amazon this evening. I'd already put £500 credit in my account expressly to get these cards and £239.99 is good enough for me now with the guarantee of having them for Christmas, plus Amazon CS if there's any issues with either of them.
Amazon price back up to £254.99 again, and they have the GTX1060 at £309.99 - ouch!
I'd pay the extra tenner for the MSI card, personally. The reference cooler is very hot and loud, whilst this is the quietest RX 480 around. You'll also get a better overclock out of this one thanks to the lower temperatures, unless you're willing to crank the fan up to 100% on the reference cooler (and deal with it sounding like a leaf blower).

yeah totally agree, just an alternative in case this one sells out really.
I'll be watching over the weekend to see if either this or the 1060 drops beneath £200

Great price for an 8gb 480.
Was looking at this a few weeks back, as I want an MSI card to match my new MSI board, but a few reviews put me off. Think I'll go re-watch them and see what the faults were. Kind of convinced myself I want an MSI gaming x 1060 6gb but it's £60 more than this.
Voted hot.

Holding out for some nice Nitro+ Black Friday deals, but given no built in 3D support it will probably end up being cheaper for me to go for a 1060

I like to game in 3D on my 3D monitor, which NVIDIA supports natively in the drivers. As far as I can find, you still have to buy something like TriDef 3D for Radeon cards, unless that has changed recently, which effectively adds £30 onto the price of the gfx card

currently between this and a 1060 for me
