Please, let it cost less than RM1K for 8GB version, then will trade my R9 380 4GB for this, probably just about RM300-400 top up

Your motherboard may get fried while using your RX480. The card violates the PCIE specification by drawing too much power through the PCIE slot.

Can be fixed by pushing new drivers out implementing software-based limiters (hard limit on frequency clock, voltage, etc). Otherwise, bye bye fried motherboard.

And if AMD chose to go the the limiter route, bye bye overclocking headroom.

If this isn't fixed quickly, it'll make that 3.5GB GTX970 fiasco look like child's play.

Quite a screw up. I would have made my purchase if it is not because of this.

guys, just wait for GTX 1060. Let's wait for nVidia to join the fight first. It shall be a good year for us oldfag who still game in 1080p.

Either

1. Accept it, and deal with it. or

2. Work around it.

This is just one of the many examples in life where 1 + 1 is not always equals to 2.

The sad truth is mid range graphic cards for 1080p has moved up to the range of RM1.3K. Couple years back, it was around RM1K. We can all blame it on everything, but life will be better if we just accept it since we can't do much.

For me, there is a bit of disappointment in RX 480. First off, it is just a product to fill the gap before the flagship hits market. Secondly, the stupid power issue. Also, it does not provide a huge saving compared to similarly performing previous generation cards.

So I am going to forget about RX 480, and wait for GTX 1060. Hopefully it lives up to the hype of "980 performance".

the same can be said for 1070 right. a 980ti or titan user would be having the same performance of a 1070 for already quite some time. nothing to congratulate nvidia about the 1070?

That's why GTX 1070 is not the first next-gen GC launched by nVidia.

I am not ready to pay an arm and half a leg for a graphic card. Budget is RM1.4K.
