Isn't there not much between the 4Gb and the 8gb variants? Good deal though

Is this better than a 1060 6GB?

the 8gb version of this card uses the same memory as the RX480 and is also factory over clocked. this is the only RX470 with this spec and performs very close to the RX480 4GB. Great price!!

I hope your joking

Oops! Bad typo. It would be great if that were true though :smile:

Just to let people looking for an RX 470 or RX 480 know, there's an ongoing offer that ends Fri (2 Dec) night from MSI for 20% off any of their Gaming X versions, which might mean (after rebate) an RX 480 8GB for £195 (listed at £244) from a place like ebuyer (I just bought this a few minutes ago - http://www.ebuyer.com/755291-msi-radeon-rx-480-gaming-x-8gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-d-hdmi-2x-rx-480-gaming-x-8g?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482416379&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CNWGmPeKz9ACFccy0wodV5oKRw ).

Plus we should get a free code (with an RX 480) for Civ VI as part of the amd rewards offer.

Do you have any more details? I can't see anything on MSI or Ebuyer, have I missed it? I wanted to see whether the rebate was based on purchase date or not, and therefore I could still take advantage of it.

I believe the 470 is being offered with Hitman, similar to the 480 getting Civ.

Here's the link: https://uk.msi.com/Promotion/radeon_cashback_q4_2016

It's good for cards purchased until midnight tonight (Friday). cosminhards has posted a link to the rx 480 8gb.

I see ebuyer also has the 470 gaming X 4gb for £185; with the cashback that would bring it down to £148; that sounds like a good deal too if the cashback comes through!

That's brilliant, thanks. £150 for the 470 is definitely something I could go for.

Overclockers are doing the 480 4gb for £188

I cant find the 480 for that price either I'm afraid. Got this on offer from Flubit for £180, been so long since I got a graphics card not sure if to get this or the 480 4gb if it is £188

sorry, think i got last one and by the way I have no use for the freebies if anyone is interested

That's the gigabyte version there mate, the offer is only on MSI.

sorry, on my phone, didn't see MSI post

Ok, so to follow up my previous post. While doing research for my new graphics card (now got an RX 480 8gb), I put together these notes for all 4 versions of 470 and 480 (4gb and 8gb for each). Sorry for their verbose nature, but maybe it helps someone have a bigger picture of what the MSI offer brings to the table. I tried making the lowest prices (after MSI rebate) clear by making them bold, and every paragraph represents a new graphics card/memory combination. Sorry for the poor formatting, hope it helps someone decide. But remember the purchase must be made before the end of today.

Thats great cosminhards.

I have been researching these products all this afternoon, but am well out of my depth.
Could I ask why you chose the amd rx480 8gb over a nvidea 1060 6gb? Is it purely price and extra ram or is there more to it?

At these prices after cashback, I am not suprised you have taken the plunge.

Thank you for all of your efforts.

Am I correct in saying MSI don't do a card with a reference cooler, then? Need a reference (blower) cooler as I'm building in a small case.

I think 3-4gb is enough for the *perceptually* highest quality textures at 1080p, even with modest AA. It's almost never worth buying the higher vram card as it usually provides little to zero fps increase on it's own.

I saw the card at Playasia. Although MSI state for products sold in the UK, I assumed they would claim that Playasia is imported stock or blacklisted from cashback?

It's what usually happens in these situations

God this is so misleading! Let me explain: MSI CASHBACK DOES NOT WORK WITH EVERY RETAILER!

Onto the details, in the terms and conditions, MSI states that the cashback only works if your INVOICE clearly written "20% cashback", as far as I am aware, only scan and overclockers did the msi promotion, not ebuyer, not Amazon, definitely not play asia.

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond, with such a lot of info.
Cheers
