Although it might be worth waiting a few weeks for AMD Ryzen to come out, we don't know performance or UK pricing yet though.

why? ryzen is CPU
Polaris is GPU
Vega (yet unreleased high end Fury replacement) is GPU

Tempting, I've got an R9 380 4gb by XFX which can get quite noisy though..

If you're not bothered by the fan nise then this is a cracking card. But the MSI gaming version for 10-15 quid more is way better.

100% agree. For someone like me who was specifically putting this inside a mini ITX case however, it is perfect! :smiley:

The NDA is removed 28th February, but the release date is supposedly 2nd March 2017.

I'm a photographer and I'm looking to upgrade my current setup. I currently use dual monitors which I'm looking to upgrade for Dell UltraSharp U2515H 25" IPS 2K Monitor (I haven't got the budget or need for 4K just yet.)
Frustratingly, my current GFX card has 1x HDMI, 1x DVI and 1x RGB connections, the U2515H requires HDMI or DisplayPort connections.
I NEVER use my PC for gaming, just for internet, basic tasks and Photoshop/Lightroom.
Is this card recommended for my purpose or complete overkill? Any help would be greatly appreciated, all I know is that I want to have a dual-monitor setup and the rest doesn't mean an awful lot to me in all honesty!

I have that exact monitor! Very nice. I use a 390X with it and it's great. This is a little overkill for basic tasks but it'll work great :wink:

If that's the case any GPU is overkill just save yourself £200 and use the on board graphics, if its a newish rig the onboard graphics are pretty good there's no need for a £200 gaming card even dual monitor setups are supported then you have no worry about PSU power. If you must have a card avoid XfX they have terrible customer service you only get 1 years warranty if i remember correctly and they are cheap for a reason they are a very unreliable brand, spend the extra £15 and get the MSI which have UK support and longer warranty.

It should be possible to get DVI<>HDMI cables, but the U2515H is 1440P so that might be tricker than 1080P.
You didn't mention what card you currently have, but here's someone who had success with a ancient GTX260: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19642213
Also, as well as the model number of your current card, what CPU & Motherboard do you have?
Because if you have a recent CPU with iGPU that should be enough to drive at least one of the monitors and it is usually possible to set it up in the BIOS to use both.
Anyway, this card is totally over the top for your requirements unless Photoshop/Lightroom can use the GPU for some acceleration (and even if they can it might only be noticeable in a few filters).

I have the u2515h and it's amazing... I would say that an rx 480 is probably overkill and to invest in more ram and to get a very low end graphics card with display port connections

Use the HDMI port for one monitor then a DVI to HDMI dongle For the other one. DVI is just hdmi in a different plug

What's wrong with using a DVI to HDMI cable, about £3? :smiley:

Photographer here, I recently upgraded to an ultrasharp UP2716D and had to have the GPU to run it to its potential. I opted for a £120 GTX 1050 oc a lot cheaper than this and still overkill, I don't even get the fans spinning when editing.
However I do have the option to play some battlefield when I am not grafting!

Opening post
Previous deal has been expired but this is now £189.98 including free delivery.
Mine is in a Fractal Design Node 202 case and I'm very pleased with the performance.
