QUOTE(keledek @ Jun 24 2016, 09:30 AM) Saw report EK producing full cover waterblock for Rx480. It doest make sense to produce one for a mainstream card.... unless they know lots of people would want to overclock it because of big headroom for overclocking. 29th cant come sooner enough for proper reviews. IMHHO waterblock/GPU watercooling always does not make sense at all....unless it's for the very top end card. E.g. why bother with RX480 + w/c if you can spend that w/c money to top up for a better card like GTX1070?

QUOTE(goldfries @ Jul 2 2016, 01:31 PM) I don't know why people WANT to be disappointed. They're just fooling themselves. C'mon la, before RX 480 was launch - what kind of performance can you get from RM 1,300 graphics card?  The answer is NONE - At most it's R9 380X. You want GTX 970 / R9 390 performance, pay RM 1,700 or more. That also GTX 970 and R9 390 draws a lot more power than RX 480. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/802109Winfast GTX 970 RM1295 PALIT GeForceĀ® GTX 970 (4096MB GDDR5) = RM1309

QUOTE(luqmanz @ Jul 16 2016, 11:45 PM) If u like rx480 performance... u can consider gtx 970.. same performance.. Second hand is just rm900-1k with warranty.. it runs cool with ample OC headroom.. QUOTE(nill @ Jul 17 2016, 07:43 AM) Zotac got 970 clearance sale in Malaysia, can get brand new for ~1k Yup. Second hand should just go lower than RM800 IMHO.
