Same here. We'll know more in a few days. Everything at the site that should remain un-named must be read with a strong filter.
 


I add half a cup of water to my daughter's juice. She doesn't seem to know the difference either.
 
Anyone know of current benchmarks of Forza Horizon 3 that include a RX 480? All the benckmarks I can find are from September and before stability patches. Plus, they all lack a 480.

The system requirements for the game are a bit crazy, my system (in my sig) run it great, no stuttering at 1080p, high settings. But between the game and Windows 10, it's consuming almost 10gb of my RAM, but only about 2-3gb of VRAM.
 


With mixed medium/high settings and 4X MSAA I'm running it at 1080p@75fps pretty consistently, few drops towards 60-ish but not bad.
 


Yeah, I have the Nitro+ OC.

If It's the Asus ROG Strix you're looking for, It's better than the Nitro+ OC. If It's the Asus Dual model, you want the Nitro+ instead.

 
Well yeah it is, but, if you undervolt it to 1050 mV and keep the card at 1300 Mhz, you can run the card at 35-45% fan speed without it ever even exceeding 62 degrees. These are my personal results anyway, It's very quiet. Out of the box without changing values It's going to be loud though.

The GPU reaches 1080p@75fps in most games at 1300 Mhz for me so It's perfect, since I've got a 75Hz FreeSync monitor.
 


Nah, didn't feel the need to so far. I would take the ROG Strix too if prices are really similar. I got this one for considerably cheaper though.

Looked at the XFX GTR? Think that's the best one for OC'ing.
 


Not avaiable in my country the XFX GTR. Only avaiable are the Sapphire one, ASUS Strix and the MSI.

MSI > ASUS > Sapphire in order of prices.
 
Get the Strixx and give us your subjective feedback on it :)

I'm a happy camper with the Nitro+ and totally recommend it, but millage varies from person to person. I put some screenshots and my own subjective take on it a few pages ago if you want to take a look.

I don't think you will go wrong with either to be honest. All reviews point out they are both excellent cards on their own right.

Cheers!

EDIT: Typos.
 
Having owned two MSI cards I can't recommend the Twin Frozr enough. Unless you live in Europe and can get a Palit JetStream, the MSI TwinFrozr cooler is the stealthiest so far.
 
I got an MSI RX 480 Armor 4G OC (one of the cheapest 480s I found) a couple days ago. I can run at 1290/1850 MHz core/memory (stock is 1290/1750) at 1V (undervolt) in Wattman. Running Heaven benchmark my temps peak at ~69 C, with fans at a virtually inaudible 30%.

Alternatively I can OC to 1400 MHz core @ 1.145 V, temps around 77 C and fans at 50%. Very audible, but not to the point of being annoying in my opinion. Haven't had much luck OCing my memory further (although I haven't spent too much time on it yet); I tend to start getting memory errors (as measured using HWiNFO), and then sometimes crashes, pretty quickly beyond 1850 MHz.

Honestly, I question the value for money of getting a 'premium' card. I was just posting in another thread where someone was overclocking there XFX RX 480 GTR [strike]Black Edition[/strike], which I've heard to be the best/highest overclocking 480 out there. And yet the results he was getting seemed worse than mine on my 'budget' card.

Edit: Was regular GTR, not Black Edition.
 
Reached 1.4Ghz @ 1.145v is nice inclusive the temperature. JayTwoCents reviewed the XFX RX 480 GTR and he was shocked but, i saw some threads people complaining about it.

Its nice to feel again the 'Am i buying the right card?' 'what if i burned it out in some days?' lol.
