MSI Radeon RX 480 Armor OC 8GB only £199.98 with Free Delivery from NovaTech.
(There are two versions of this card, this is the faster OC version, RX 480 ARMOR 8G 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.
Not in stock till the 20th February, but you can pre order

I didn't post either and they are different, so a thread per deal is not a problem. I think you are an ad.

That would be £30.

At least prices for these are starting to become a little more realistic. When's the rx 470 going to follow suit?

Good deal but you're better off with the other MSI 'Gaming' version from Amazon fr for a couple of quid more.

This has been posted multiple times - is it an advertisement?

'Almost' the same? Well, I rather think that twice the memory is a major difference: one is for those who want to spend little but are willing to accept that eventually with 'just' 4GB they'll have to turn the settings down or forsake ultra texture packs (the most visible difference on PC ports of games designed for the current consoles); this 8GB one is for those who think having 8GB will most likely mean their card will last a bit longer. Which is not an unreasonable choice as a lot of cards have often run out of memory long before they've run out of grunt (more so on the Nvidia side since NV love to plan a little built-in obsolescence and have the marketshare and fan base to get away with it).

Great response haha. This is the 8gb, he posted the 4gb before for those who don't need all the vram and want to save an extra £40.
That is a very interesting review. I have been deciding between the Asus Dual 1060 GTX (£60 more) and the Asus Strix 1060 (£100 more) and i really cant bring myself around paying that much more for a card when this is at sub £200. the ONLY thing is putting me off this card is MSI. I have had a bad run of luck with them and always preferred Asus. Still tempting...

Impressive. The 1060 was clearly the better performer on release, but the 480 seems to have clawed back virtually all of the performance disadvantage, and more, it seems.

thanks for great review. I went for an RX470 due to freesync (even though I don't have a freesync monitor!) and this makes me feel good that the card has got better over time!
