syntaxfunction posted:I did read somewhere (I forget where) that the Polish magazine that had the 480 equal to a 970 was using a Zotac (?) factory overclocked card that performs on par with a normal 980. Or something. http://videocardz.com/61512/first-radeon-rx-480-gaming-benchmarks-hit-the-web Again, the 970 is OCed to 980 levels. Since I'm waiting for a card to play Wiedzmin 3: Dziki Gon it seems the 480 is the card I'm going to get.

Grim Up North posted:http://videocardz.com/61512/first-radeon-rx-480-gaming-benchmarks-hit-the-web The card isn't overclocked any further than the typical 970 that you purchase, and the stock clock is basically relevant anyway because you can overclock any model to 1450-1550. The 970 they used is pretty much indicative of the out of the box performance from 970s. The comparison to a 980 is basically also a moot point because while a 970 at 1450 will beat a stock 980, a 980 can likewise be run at 1450 and trounce the 970.

Even if it's at 970 or higher levels, that's a significant upgrade for me. Now the wait for custom coolers begins.

Hey real benchmarks It loses most of the time to the 390 and 970. E: Also it's a FuryX-level overclocking trainwreck

To be absolutely fair to AMD here, it's never been a wonderful idea to expect to overclock red reference cards, unless you enjoy being on fire. To be somewhat less fair to AMD, this card is pointless and next year is too late, particularly if this arch improvement is mirrored in the 390 to 490 transition, and what the christ would they be able to price it as. I am not looking forward to a grim green monopoly, but weeeeeeelp. vvv I guess. We still live in a world where the 290, 390 and 970 exist though, and by this logic there should never be a 490 and 490x. They sort of have to make some money in the meantime, though, don't they?

teagone posted:Oh... guess I'll just keep my 970 and buy my dad the RX 480 if he wants. Sigh.  Judging by the benchmarks it seems they sacrificed raw horsepower and ROPs for better tesselation and Maxwell-case improvements. Cost reduction on the die was definitely a goal, but sucks for the people who want anything better than a 390 or 970 without shelling out 400 or more. Actually, you can do that already, just buy a 980ti fire sale for $310  Moogle posted:To be absolutely fair to AMD here, it's never been a wonderful idea to expect to overclock red reference cards, unless you enjoy being on fire.

Obviously because he wanted to buy one himself on the cheap because the RX 480 wasn't going to compete. Brilliant strategy. It looks like r/AMD is about prepared for full meltdown mode, already have people talking about how they sold their R9 390's/GTX 970's in preparation for the RX 480.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:If you were expecting to do anything but sidegrade at that performance level... I got hyped from the 980 performance rumors, and possibly exceeding that with decent OC'ing capability. Performance like that at a $200 price point sounded really good, and would give me a chance to get a slight upgrade and give my dad my 970 to replace the Radeon 7850 I gave him.

If we're doing predictions I'd say it'll slot just around or below Fury X, and cost $300. Which'll leave AMD poo poo out of luck when they expect to pinch off the 490. This is not going to be a good year for consumers. vv Yeah, maybe $300 is a bit generous. I don't know how to think about this stuff in on-paper dollars - it's Euros here, so expect 500 euros and the organ of your choosing. E: That said, the 960 launched at $199, didn't it? E the second: Aaaaaah, that makes more sense. I never had or really looked into the 960, and wondered why it was so cheap. ... Well, that tears it. Just pulled the trigger on a 1070 instead.

Now it's just slower than a 770.

Annnnd 980tis are jumping up in price again. Saw an MSI one last night for $400, it's now $450. Knew I should have pulled the trigger before the 480 came out and crushed all those pie in the sky dreams that so many people had.

Anyone who bought into some of the ridiculous rumors surrounding the 480 is obviously going to be disappointed, but the card still looks to be great value for the many people out there on 750ti/660/760's etc looking to upgrade, and I'm sure there are a whole lot of those people.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:and unlike a used 970/390 you'd get warranty, which is often more important than it seems. GPUShack videocards come with a 2-year warranty! They currently have 6 MSI 970 OC cards in stock for $259 shipped. Can get it even cheaper if you trade in an old card too, for anyone who was looking to upgrade to a 480. http://gpushack.com/collections/all-gpus-for-sale/products/msi-gtx-970-oc-1 Lol, nevermind, that same card brand new is $265 on newegg, with a $10 rebate card actually making it cheaper. teagone fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Jun 29, 2016 |

Whether or not its gonna be +/- 10% of the performance people were speculating, RX 480 is still the way to go for people like me upgrading from a generations-old 7850 and don't wanna spend a rent payment on a vidya gamesing card. 200 bucks is just about right and it will still be a huge bump even if it's not bleeding-edge.

Got the 4GB 480 for £179.99 - really happy with that. It's less than half the price of a 1070 and will hopefully be a bit of a bump up from my 760.
