I'd imagine that if you were to CrossFire two RX480s you'd be better off going with 8GB models (to achieve VRAM parity with the GTX 1080), which cannot be bought new for £150.

There's also the less reliable performance, additional power consumption and additional heat output to consider, as there is with any CrossFire/SLI setup vs a single more powerful card.

Let's not pretend it's an open and shut case of "just getting two RX480s for £150 each".

Its almost as powerful as a GTX 1080 in Ashes of the Singularity. If you don't mind half the minimum frame rate.

If you want actual performance, in all games, the 2x 480 is *terrible* value.

Recommending crossfire OR SLI to anyone must be done with extreme caution, or to people you hate.

"Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

Very nice price. I liiiike

"Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

Can see me upgrading my 1060 very, very soon just for the sake of it. I can run GTA V perfectly but these prices are getting too good to ignore.

Thanks for posting. I've ordered it, though I literally ordered the MSI GeForce GTX 1070 ARMOR 8G OC for £335.99 half an hour ago!

Does anybody know how much one actually pays if paying directly in Euros using a credit card? I know Amazon's own currency conversion isn't that favourable as they make a relatively high profit on it, but I'm curious to see how far off the £316.97 it would be if paying directly in Euros.

The actual cost of this is £323 shipped, using a fee free card if you assume the currency rate is set as of now, at €1.145 to £1, Amazon want to charge £335, if you pay in local card currency of GBP.

Just get 2 RX 480s for £150 each

Its as powerful as GTX 1080

Getting closer to that £300 mark!

Plus it's been proven that unless a game is optimised for crossfire/sli you will not see more than 20-30% performance gain. Having said that I have nothing to back this up with but in today's world we don't need to evidence things anymore.

Very good card, I have one myself. Overclocks to 2165mhz before the temp increase brings it down to a solid 2119mhz. Haven't seen the temps go over 72* either so can't fault it at all.

Nope, watch, the difference of 2 RX 480 4gb vs 2 8gbs is none or barely

I dont really care about heat

Its reliable lol its not 2012 anymore

Whats better £300 for 2 Cards what run the same as GTX 1080

Or 1 GTX 1080 for £600



Its the same performance for half the price, salty Nvidia fanboy

With that, I think I shall leave this conversation here.

You do know that both AMD and NVIDIA have virtually given up on SLI/Crossfire and are both waiting for mGPU, right?

Agreed. I've always preferred to run with one card rather than paying twice the cost in electricity, which is the main expense in the long run. There's a 15% drop in performance using SLI/Crossfire too.

If the game doesn't support SLI/crossfire then it's pretty much pointless no?

​you can pick gtx 1080 for around 450-480£

The village idiot has been banned so better to ignore him.

​ accidentally liked that comment :disappointed: you seem to feel like you are well informed on the whole dual rx480 Vs 1080 scenario but there are countless videos on YouTube proving that crossfire Rx 480s are not worth it, poor optimisation on a lot of games with significant stuttering. I have done the crossfire setup and it's jarring, 1070 all day long for 1440p.

The GTX 1080Ti is out soon so hopefully that will drive down the cost of 1080, 1070 and 1060 cards in the near future.

X fire is a rubbish alternative. It is not supported in most games and has bad frame time variance in many of the rest.
Wait for Vega. Nvidia cards do not give value long term (some do not even have a 'long term' when you get a bit older and take notice)
Would I pay 450 euro's for this card?
Ha Ha Ha heh , you must be joking.

Nvidia has already reduced te cards because of the 1080Ti I think. Still stuck on a 7950 and sandy i7 here, think I need a complete overhaul.

A quality 650 watt unit will run rx480 Xfire actually,and the Nitro's run at 74C.

Price gone up.

Currently at 4.6ghz, been a great chip since I bought it at launch.

tempted, but think my 970 can keep on trucking just yet

I would jump on this if I didn't had a freesync monitor

Hold your horses, I bought a used gtx 1080 last week for £348 delivered, sold my 980ti cost me 80 to upgrade, but prices are a changing and £348 is a sign of things to come.

I'll just leave this here:

few comments say its a scam

£385 for a used GEFORCE GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC on Ebay, tempted

Ships in 1 to 2 month? really?

Aye, I'll wait a bit longer

Not sure, might depend on the seller including their receipt or whatever

Depends fully on the manufacturer. I.e. Palit does not allow for warranty to be transferred, whereas other manufacturers (like MSI/Gigabyte, I think), it is done by serial number and is transferable.

Indeed. Toms chart is quite useful as a quick gaming reference,
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html
Lower end i5 chips haswel onwards are considered better gaming chips because of 'minimum' frame performance being higher..
This balances out at ~ 4.2 or 4.3 gig,even on the 2500k ackchooly.
I really do have 2 mates running unlocked sandy bridge doing there fxcking CRUST about what to build next (such a long time was never expected to happen.Many connectivity features are miles below par now)
My advice; buy an add in card for connectivity if needed and run it at 4.3+ until the board just DIES?
Clocked, they are still tier 1 gaming rigs,you would not notice much diff with a new build until you start messing about with 120 hz plus monitors,and frankly thats all a bit wasted $ if you are a casual gamer like me.(that freesync 1080p 75 hz monitor featured on this site is a good example, but I would go IPS for fantastic video quality;my asus jobby is like being at the cinema!)
'HOLD' is my advice. I KNOW this is a pain in the **** after 6 years.But.
When the cross cluster latency bug is fixed on Ryzen it will change the price of everything.
Any ryzen 6 core running vulkan is going to make the 7700k look rather sedate in games.

Untempt yourself. When Vega releases you will hose about £80 of that money strait down the khazi.
A 1070 is worth ~ £300 compared to an 8gig rx 480.Its gonna catch up (or down) soon enough.

I'm waiting for a £400ish 1080, was just curious whether eBay was worth looking at.

ABSOLUTELY NOT with that sort of purchase.
Wait for Vega, prices on everything hi end will move about a bit.
Sorry, I know I keep referencing 1080 and 1070 as the same,but there is actually little between them (at least.no WAY £100)
its like 15% ? The top card price has always been a **** take.

Exact same card I bought 348 delivered
