BTW, thanks for the review MichaelNext maybe RX 460 would be nice, especialy comparison to iGPUs on Intel/AMD CPU/APUs, some people seems still dreaming that integrated can do something to $99 cards

I'm going to take a wild guess that because the demand all over the internet today for this card that the price has been driven up, in some cases I'm seeing $40-100 increase on top of MSRP.
I know so little about AMD these past years I don't know if I should buy a Sapphire or a XFX or even how Gigabyte or PowerCooler compare. EVGA has had my vote for so long now.
It's very possible in 30 days I'll be on a RX 480 when inventory comes back in stock. My GTX 970 is sufficient for my gaming needs and that's what's important - the RX 480 should be sufficient as well and provide the added benefits of the open driver for my 230 game library.
Red camp has turned the heat up, if their CPUs are good next year I may be all red camp this next cycle.

EVGA has had my vote for so long now.Now where AIBs differ is custom models, that usualy mainly differ on three points - they can make it a bit faster (fab OC), quieter (their own cooling solution) and aesthetics (whatever there).
Other than that, they can give you also some cable more, adapter more, even some game and God knows what not... for a couple $$ moreLast edited by dungeon; 29 June 2016, 10:12 PM.

Anyways great release and the state of the drivers is real good this time around.
