I think amazon should just shut their marketplace account down, should not be allowed to operate without verifying their email address bank account and personal id frankly.

I can't message them, amazon don't have a valid email address for them. And as stated above 2 weeks delivery from in the UK, seriously?

I don`t know mate how this works out but one thing is definite; it has been dispatched from the UK with Royal Mail on the 9th and has not come yet. Within the UK? Takes more then 10 days? I wrote them a letter and Amazon as well prompted them. Have not heard anything back! Not even a buu or baa. Finally people started to give them the worst feedback and rating customers can do; like these are scammers, don`t trust them, no item, paid not received anything, amazon refunded me without asking etc. So after all these what would you expect? The card turning up at the end of the delivery time that is 25th of January? It`s joke!! Very disappointing joke to be hones!!

As some one who sells on amazon form time to time, like ebay it gets automatically marked as shipped as soon as you buy the postage label from them, so its not necessarily anything to be alarmed about, also amazon seem to allow quite a few days for arrival, i always take my stuff to the post office for proof of posting the next working day, so i would expect they would have it within a few days however i only sell low value items, anything over 20 or so i always send tracked but amazons fees are so much higher than ebay that i only sell those on the latter. Send the seller an email if you dont get a quick reply thats probably when you should be worried, or if they dont seem to know when it was actually put into the mail or where.

Yep, the exact same Asus.

You're right I've missed the reference to the RX480.

Was this deal sold by Amazon or a 3rd party?

I messaged the seller and got an email saying amazon didn't have a valid email address for them! Apparently due by Feb 1St, who the hell sends an item like this unrecorded and by the slowest postage ever?

I had the same order mate. Not got refund from Amazon yet but they told me I`ll get it. No chance of getting anything. The sellers were 100% scammers! (I wrote them an email and had no reply whatsoever) They are just bloody scammers.

Gone already seemingly. There was a single seller who had it for 210 plus postage but their account is brand new and has a bunch of other steeply discounted items for sale. Suspect!

You mean this one? I like it too. power assumption is a big advantage on GTX 1000 series.

Also you misunderstood me. I replied that guy regarding a 480 price, and when I said reference design I mean 480 one. You will see if you click on the link in that quote.

I know, I just mean if Vega is out, market might shake the price of 1070 a bit. see that gumtree guy selling 1070 for £310 is quite tempting. I am not in a hurry to get any new card so hold my money for now.

TBH I got the Asus reference design, and it is fine. 120W is not that much heat anyway. Can't hear it over other components while playing. I've got it as eGPU so it is out in the open.

Adds at £280 for me,

just banged it into flubit :wink:

It still adds to basket at the £216 price for me, even if the price on the page has increased.

madness!

£215 quid now lol

​Wouldnt touch the reference card. was considering the nitro but was similar price in UK, and couldnt find cheap on Amazon France.
Was even looking at the Rs version, which Amazon had lightening deal on the other day for £211, but delivery was too long and the GTR is much better for overclocking.

personally, I found the reviews for an rx480 better than a 1060 on latest drivers, and the fact that freesync is so cheap. In the end it was just down to which RX480 to buy.

I also did think about Vega, but the new line isnt meant to replace the rx400 series. but more an attempt to compete with 1070 and 1080.

Ordered. Thank you. Definitely better than what I'm using now hd630 from Kaby Lake. I've been hunting a cheap affordable graphic card for wayyy to long now.

That cheap one isn't shipped New sadly, but good price on the one from amazon still

10% faster than a 970 according to this.
Guess I'll wait for a 1070 to come up.

was tempted with one of these, and seems good at this price. decided on the XFX rx480 gtr 8gb card instead - got that for £247

The 480 8gb offers identical performance in most games while being better future proofing throught better compatibility through DX12 and Vulcan. Freesync monitors are cheaper than gsync and ReLive is as good as shadow play.

I was thinking the same thing about taking a bite now and either getting 1060 6GB or 480 8GB . Or wait for next gen architecture whenever they arrive, I am on a 7602GB its not terrible can play GTA5 at 1080 on everythibng turned to High at solid 62fps Vsync , but I dunno what to do , arn't the Vega release gooing to be super expensive competing with gtx 1080/ti end ??

Amazon do frustrate me. I've had this card on my wishlist for some time - and now it seems there's two listings, both with an identical model number, but slightly different measurements/weight etc, but both sold by Amazon. Can anyone see a difference here between this deal and the link below (price aside!)? Surely there shouldn't be one since it has the same model number?

Wishlist one

It's not the first time I've noticed this either. They have two versions of several i5 CPUs as well, again both sold by Amazon, but sometimes the price can vary greatly! It makes the concept of having a wishlist for certain items to check pointless as you end up having to re-search Amazon over and over in case there's new versions of the exact same product!

Ok, rant over :wink:
