AVeryLargeRadish posted:Don't get your hopes up, I very much doubt the 480 will come anywhere close to a 980 Ti or overclock nearly as high as people want it to. If it could AMD would be touting it, why let Nvidia sell 1070s when they could be shouting from the rooftops about 980 Ti level performance for $200-$240? Why would the 480 need loads of power to OC like mad but not the massive cooling that generally comes with shoving tons of power through a chip? If it can OC so high then why not make cards with an AIO built in? They already did that with the Fury X and even if it added $50-$60 to the price it would be well worth it to be able to talk about how your new card can come close to the 980 Ti for only $300. i do think there's some logic in AMD keeping a good card under wraps until the 29th and then dropping the bomb at once. like, "here's our card, it's as expected, it's actually available at the price we advertised (instead of the $80 premium for 1070s), and we have plenty of stock. go nuts." people get hyped up on launch days and they'd probably get a lot of potential 1070 buyers to pull the trigger on a whim. whereas they might not get the same sales if you have weeks to think about it.

Lots of people over on the AMD subreddit seem to be buying into the hype, but it seems quite suspicious that even though we have all these leaks, we don't have definitive evidence of any huge OCs yet. it's not suspicious that we have blurry photos of chinese monitors but nothing concrete

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Actually the expectation at this point is that it will be as fast as a 980 stock and OC to 300-500MHz over stock, reaching nearly 980 Ti speeds. VR feels like everyone just assumed it was going to be the next big thing and started working on it, without considering if it was genuinely feasible or if the market really wants it. kind of like 3D.

Evil Fluffy posted:3D movies were awful because everyone saw Avatar and how it was pretty good in 3D, since James Cameron explicitly shot it in that way, so everyone else tried doing it and in many cases just hacked together "3D" out of regularly shot film so it both looked bad and it was more expensive to watch. That also excludes the people made physically ill by the 3D effects. 3D was a broken concept because its proponents suggested that 2D films could not convey depth, which is patently bullshit. and in most cases 2D films are so good at conveying depth, and our eyes so good at processing it, that 3D films felt incredibly fake. i have much higher hopes for VR because it solves a real problem, but i am still cynical enough to worry that people won't be as thrilled as some expect.

PBCrunch posted:Has there been any sign of Nvidia relenting in their refusal to support the obviously-more-likely-to-gain-widespread-acceptance FreeSync technology? No, and I doubt they would add FreeSync support until AMD starts significantly cutting into their market share and being locked into the Nvidia platform becomes less tenable. I find it very hard to believe that they would support only Gsync indefinitely, though, considering the entire rest of the industry is settled on FreeSync as the standard.

PBCrunch posted:Of the AIB vendors that offer AMD graphics cards, is there one that is slightly better than the others? I know all the launch day RX480s will have reference coolers, but is there a vendor with a longer warranty, better RMA practices, or one that won't get butthurt if I remove the cooling solution (in order to use one of those Krakens or something)? I don't know if they're "better" overall, but XFX is the only one I've seen with a backplate model announced.

tijag posted:Basically I want a 1070 without paying $100 premium for early adopter. there's a gigabyte card on newegg that keeps popping up occasionally for $399, pretty close the $379 MSRP. i also wouldn't be surprised to see more stock and lower prices start trickling out after wednesday. 1070s have been very hard to find for the last week so i almost think nvidia and their OEMs are holding back stock to better compete with AMD.

Paul MaudDib posted:Make no mistake, review sites are proxies for AMD and NVIDIA. They are in the business of selling cards. If you dump on one of their cards too hard, then you won't get a free 1080 Ti at NVIDIA's next launch party, and Raja won't do his sexy dance for you at the next Capsaicin (or even worse, you piss off Roy and then you aren't even getting a loaner sample next time around). And you won't get nerds clicking through your affiliate links to buy the card. Why would they? That's a $400 card vs a $650 card, and a $200 card vs a $400 card. That's current mid-range vs last gen's high-end. That's not a relevant comparison. They'll show it in the benchmarking results but I don't see why'd they'd be expected to devote a paragraph to comparing two cards from two different markets in two different generations. Also, isn't there some review site that makes a point of buying most of their samples off-the-shelf instead of relying on freebies?

Twerk from Home posted:As mentioned regularly, in the US there was a pretty drat long period in 2014 / early 2015 where custom-cooled R9-290s were $200 with game bundle. If AMD releases a $200 290/390, they've hit the price/performance of 2 years ago. Is there really no appreciable performance difference between the 290 and 390? Sorry, I've been out of loop for......a while.

you will only see $379 on the most barebones cards, not something with ACX 3.0 cooling and overclocked out of the box, like that EVGA card. so most of the price premium on that specific card isn't simply gouging early adopters. but i do expect we will see more 1070s in the sub-$400 range if the 480 has a strong launch.

Your Loyal Vizier posted:$430. If you scroll up you'll see I linked it in-post, was asking for opinions on the model. I know I could have waited, but I've been dealing with a trashbag card for so long that at this point I'm willing to pay the $30 premium to enjoy it now rather than later. My 6850 sounds like it's literally going to explode when idling in town in WoW on low/medium graphics. i just pulled the trigger on the same card but i am only paying the $30 premium because i am an adult child

If I were Nvidia, I'd actually softlock these early 1060s and let people unlock individual clusters for additional performance to better be able to sway people to the 1060 over the RX480. mods please rename this guy RX480, he's overheating

syntaxfunction posted:Yes. I should mention that my post was a bit hyperbolic. Performance wise everything matches up with what I expected. Pricewise I can grab an 8GB model here for AU$380 or so. That is very good. I like the RX480. What I don't like, and the only thing stopping me right now, is this power draw via bus issue. Yes, it's most likely fine. But I don't want "most likely" or "should be". If I'm spending any amount of money on a card I want to know I can put it in and not have to worry. I understand that, and it's perfectly reasonable to be cautious. Nonetheless, it's incredibly disingenuous to read a review that reports the excessive power draw and then seemingly ignore the fact that the same review recommends the card. That's my problem with this whole controversy - people in forums and on Reddit are freaking out over test results, but the testers are not.
