MSI Radeon RX 480 Armor OC 4GB only £169.98 with Free Delivery from NovaTech.
(There are two versions of this card, this is the faster OC version, RX 480 ARMOR 4G OC)
This isn't the fastest or the most swish Radeon RX480, but it is probably the cheapest at the moment that I can find.
A not so fast 1291 Boost clock, the gaming series reaches over 1300+ but it is still more than some of the lower end RX480's.
The fans stop below 60c, and the custom cooler is much quieter that the reference design.
This has the Armor Branding, so is less in your face than the Gaming series, it does not have a back plate, or any RGB lights, but is more subtle if you don't like the Red theme.
They also have the 8GB version for £199, but they are not in stock yet.

The ram will make a difference of maybe 1 fps at 60fps?! Only mis-informed people are buying this card to run at 4k, so no one really needs over 4gb. If you buy the 8gb to 'future proof', you will still need to upgrade at the same point as the 4gb card to play the latest games because the rest of it won't be good enough.

4GB RAM is not going to become obsolete for a while yet. Of course 8GB is more future proof and some newer games may show reduced performance with 4GB, but if you are after the latest and greatest graphics you're probably not looking at £170 graphics cards :smiley:
Heat for the price and the retailer!

Nice to see all these deals coming from a reputable retailer like Novatech, rather than some Amazon marketplace five week delivery nonsense.

Good deal. Not sure if it's worth the premium for double the ram.

It's also slower RAM, 7 gpbs versus 8 gpbs. Which is about 3-5% performance.

Better off spending £30 more for the 8GB Gaming edition

..surely not another £200 graphics card. You would think that the tiny number of people that wanted one have one by now....
