This is basically the same card amazon.fr/gp/…c=1 239 Euro+carriage - it is a pre order though as well. i preordered it back on the 22nd July for EUR 236,84and i'm still waiting.

Worth noting Amazon UK now has it for £221 too if anybody wants to use vouchers
I'm tempted, but a decent aftermarket rx 580 is meant to be $220, so well under £200, if miners hadn't happened. I will just wait to see what comes next. Mining cannot be sustainable for hobbyists - the difficulty should push them out?

How did you work that out you can nevr compare US $ peice to £ it doesn't work like that and even if you did remember to add vat which makes this a very good price.
The prices wont drop for people saying it will again it doesn't work like that all that will happen is they stop production of these and move on to the next one.

so is the Nitro worth the extra £27 over the Pulse ?

Probably not based on performance. The GPU's are supposedly cherry picked but even so I would only expect around ~5% performance difference.
Some of the extra features might be worth it though; seems like it has dual BIOS, improved cooler, slightly higher boost clock and includes spare fans

Getting cheaper. £236.62. Only £15 or so more than the Pulse verion. It's overclocked out of the box. What is a few % more worth to you. Still no indication when these might come out.

Good price. However, is anyone actually buying these? I need a new card but would wait a couple of weeks or so to see how things settle as surely the prices can only go down from here?

Yeah it's a bad time to be buying a graphics card if you can avoid it. I wouldn't expect a huge amount of differnce in a couple of weeks though... couple of months maybe.

That said, £220 for that other 8gb is as cheap as they were regularly before the price pains

I've been watching the mining difficulty charts and it has taken a dip which I'm assuming is for the RX Vega, hopefully they dump their Mid range GPUs so we get better prices.

The Vega mining efficiency is not very high, 32-35 MH/s, any dips are almost surely not due to Vega.

This is a pretty standard price for the 8GB 580, actually. The £220 one is a downright great deal. There's not much reason for prices to go down further.

i suspect both will clock up to about the same speed from what i have read. The dual bios is only really going to be useful if your planning on swapping them around regularly which is pretty niche. looking at a couple of reviews the difference seems minimal.

Ordered the non-nitro version at 8am this morning. Been watching prices ever since they started to rise so I'm desperate for anything at a decent price. £220 for the 8gb is about where they should be. Just hope it turns up at some point.

I wouldn't buy this. You can get 1060's at the same price and they will actually turn up. You could be waiting months and months for this.

I refuse to pay more than £180 for a 6gb 1060. Will give it a few months.

Would this be good for quad HD (2560x1440)?

It can but not with max detail in a fair number of games. It's pretty much on the lower end of 1440p capable graphics cards.
