In gaming your card doesn't go full load all the time.

So the actual average power draw per gaming session results to very little difference.

no tax imposed if you use "buy for me" forwarding service from agents such as wiwaa.com or 65daigou.com
my recommendation is buy with forwarding agent. Copy and paste the link and add to shopping cart for with items you want to purchase.

Agents will try their best effort to help you avoid tax. However, for GPU because it's price is too high. It should be considered as sensitive item. They will charge you with more expensive shipping cost around RM30~50.

I got experience with wiwaa.com forwarding agent. Usually they will collect all the buyers items then deliver out from Shenzhen storage at every Friday. So my best suggestion is place order with their "buy for me" service at Sunday/Monday then wait for the agents will help you purchase your item. Usually the item should arrive to Shenzhen storage at Thursday/Friday. So when you receive an email about arrival notification, usually at afternoon. You should proceed to pay for shipping charges immediately. The agent will bring all the item from China branch to Shah Alam branch (they got companies in both China and Malaysia). I guess they should deliver all the buyers items from Shenzhen storage to Shah Alam branch. Then only post out by poslaju to all the buyers from Shah Alam. Now you just wait for poslaju tracking, usually the record will update at next week Tuesday. You should receive your item at next week Wednesday/Thursday.

RX 480 Gaming Performance Rivals The R9 Fury & GTX 980[SIZE=7]

Moving on to the leaked gaming benchmarks. In the five games that have been benchmarked, the RX 480 delivered performance that’s very close to the R9 Fury and GTX 980. Often trading blows with both cards whilst running at the same settings. DOOM at maximum settings, including Shadows Quality & Virtual Texturing Page Size set to “nightmare” which is a notch above the Ultra preset. At 1920×1080 for example, the RX 480 delivered ~100 FPS. Which is significantly faster than what the R9 390X delivers at even lower settings. You can check out the benchmarking footage of each of the five games tested below

Pls don't link wccftech. They are clickbait site. Even amd subforum on reddit has ban them

Well.. I'm playing dota 2. But I recently changed my monitor to 144hz gaming monitor. Feels like even for dota that does not require gpu intensive, the 290x is very noisy and seems quite stressful for the card, very hot also the room if I don't on aircond.

Can't maintain max fps at 144 when moving around the screen and battles. Only during stagnant view it's at 144

well reputed taobao forwarding agent will help you to "avoid" being tax by custom, bought quite a lot of electronics from taobao including handphone so far not get taxed before.

The concern you should worried should be warranty, so far no one graphic card manufacturer provides international warranty.

i thought EVGA provides such global warranty?

Friends, buy from Amazon lah. I did it twice already.

$200 = 4GB version
$240 = 8GB version

Amazon shipping increased slightly, should be able $35 now (because no more Expedited shipping, now only have Priority shipping which is more expensive).

So, $240 + ~$35 = ~$275 * 4.10 = RM1130

Still RM120 lower than MSRP in Malaysia.

If previously the shipping will be $20 but take a few days longer lah. More worth it that time.

If you buy 4GB version, is just $235 = RM960. Worth it wor!

i didnt find any rx 480 in amazon yet

ya, EVGA got,
do we have legit evga distributor in Malaysia?

Btw how about the warranty ? Covered by local manufacture?

Covered by Amazon. Can purchase 3 year extended plans too. U just need to ship it back to them.

Usually, it is faster than going through your local authority..

bro, see the date I posted.
then see the date of these 2 articles:
http://www.lowyat.net/2016/108352/asus-str...ts-from-rm2499/
http://www.lowyat.net/2016/107641/local-re...-480-at-rm1249/

I predicted RX 480 to be around RM1000, but I meant it for 4GB version.
8GB for RM 1249, is quite fitting but still no where near GTX1070 price.

launch date is anybody's guess. but most likely middle july.

Owh .. really? I might have to put my coins on it in order to prove . Anyway thanks for the "Amazon" suggestion .

yeah , i was thinking of the same thing , it will be launching on 29th June according to Wccftech . Middle of July mostly .

Today, the time NDA lift is at 9PM.

I will be doing LIVE session (discussion, info, benchmarks) on my Facebook page.

Impossible RX480 price near GTX 1070, that's suicidal.

Price is RM 1299.

NDA from AMD is lifted tonight, that's when people like me can talk freely about it.

Several local retailers already received the stock, we don't have to wait till July
