Official statement in response to PCIE power draw:
"As you know, we continuously tune our GPUs in order to maximize their performance within their given power envelopes and the speed of the memory interface, which in this case is an unprecedented 8 Gbps for GDDR5. Recently, we identified select scenarios where the tuning of some RX 480 boards was not optimal. Fortunately, we can adjust the GPU's tuning via software in order to resolve this issue. We are already testing a driver that implements a fix, and we will provide an update to the community on our progress on Tuesday (July 5, 2016)."

Give it a few more weeks for suppliers to catch up. Paying the premium to get it right now is just not worth it in the long run.
If you buy the RX 480 in a month, the difficulty will rise 40%, that mean you will mine 40% fewer Ethereum.
It all depends on the difficulty rise. I reckon the rise will slow a bit now. As the 480 is destroying people's rigs.
In a few days, there will be a driver to tackle this problem. I just hope people will not suffer in between.

Yeah. it seems like I will be waiting custom ones with more power connectors and better cooling..
waiting 2 more weeks should not be a problem..
waiting 2 more weeks should not be a problem..
Here where I am it is usual that they pump the price of all hardware, so referent RX 480 4GB is $300, so yeah..
I think the price of the cards is not economical to mine to get ROI. But if you wait for 470, by the time you get it, the difficulty will be 50% higher.
That is right. the difficulty is rising 40% of months at the moment. Are they the exisitng miners expanding?

At those price and the difficulty of the Ethereum mining doubles every two months, you will not have ROI.

From what I am observing there should be a LOT of supply. As in hundreds to thousands of cards at the major retailers.
Unfortunately, noone has released stock yet in NA...motherfuckers.
Oh yeah...since the 480 vs 470 specs:
480: 1266 MHZ GPU vs 470: 1206 MHZ GPU
480: 256-bit bus vs 470: 256-bit bus
480: 2000MHZ RAM vs 470: 1750 MHZ RAM
480: 256 GB/s vs 470: 224 GB/s
480: TDP: 150W vs 470: 110W
Release Date is stated as June for both.
I may just go with 470 cards.

I saw somewhere that if the memory frequency of 480 RX is 2000MHz, you can down clock core to 1000 MHz without affecting the the hash. So 470 could be good.
One post in another forum said 950 MHz for the core can mine without affecting the hashing rate for Eth.
Hi Folks,
I caught 2 pieces (germany) - should be here tomorrow.
... I´ll keep you updated !

That's what I'll do. I'm just waiting for someone to let me buy them to take a couple as a test, for maybe buy more later.

just get the price in Canada, its $350 CAD plus 13% tax, 8G from MSI (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=AS2222184336). The same thing is listed as $249 USD in the states.
currently $250 USD=$325 CAD, not that bad.

Hello, Anyone know tell how much power this card Rx 480 in mining Mhs - Hashimoto ?
arround 21mhs ceck my post
That sounds good Phil, keep us posted... I would be interested if you get a decent price on them.
