Good for you...go back to the old thread.

AMD heat sink does not need a vapor tube.

>>55313575
>What aftermarket brand are you gonna buy edition.
I don't pay a huge amount of attention since I haven't gotten a new VGA in a number of years, but if I recall Powercolor did good work with AMD.

For whatever reason my impression is that ASUS and Gigabyte are better for Nvidia.

>>55313653
Probably them too. The main thing is to not get an MSI.

>>55313735
Vega is going to be sweet!

Anything below 390 performance is pretty much a write off, it should be hitting stock 980 performance too ideally.

If it really is 10-15% below a 970 like some of these benches claim it's pretty much DOA.

Though it does contradict the AoS benches that leaked when the card was announced. As well as some other people on youtube who got cards early, but whatever, feasibly the lowest benches represent the average.

>>55313736
That fuckin heatsink.
It probably handles the GPU at stock just fine, OC and you get meltdown.
That's probably the reason they only stuck one 6pin on the card.

>>55313753
there is no big polaris, senpai

>>55313723
>480 between 970 and 980

Estimated Stock 980 performance. The bench you have been seeing is the stock 480 vs a $360 over clocked 970. With that said...we have to wait for bench anyhow.

>>55313691
>functionality can be updated with microcode

but it's not like they use gpu anyway

>>55313735
If this is true I can peacefully forget about the 480 now

>>55313792
But these same benches say its also weaker than a 380X, how about that fanboy?

What am I going to do guys? I already preordered the cards and I can't cancel it. The loan has a 20% interest rate, and if I can't sell the two extra cards for $300, I can't pay off the loan.

>>55313829
Why not XFX?
XFX Black Edition comes with 2 year warranty, backplate and a HDMI to DVI cable.

>>55313770
that's 390 in the back

>>55313829
How's MSI? i currently have one and feel the cooler is a bit loud, but maybe the 480 will push that less than my 270.

DESU i'd probably get a 480 regardless since it represents a decent leap over my 270.

>>55313639
that is a really stupid, meaningless change

>>55313837
nigga the benchmarks arent even out yet

>>55313837
Did you really do this?

>>55313847

You're stupid for not waiting for the benchmarks before ordering, thats your problem.

>>55313803
It was always weaker then the 390x
This char is from weeks ago

>>55313837
Cancel preorders. Get a 1070/1080. If they've already shipped, return them, so long as they are unopened you'd get your money back.

>>55313880
All reference cards are built by AMD/Nvidia and re branded. Only the after market(AIB) XFX cards use custom components...unless thats what you're talking about? I usually by MSI custom cards.

>>55313837

Damn this is depressing. Goes in Europe for 500€, about $550.

It doesn't have the same power consumption.

Shouldn't the 480 be faster then?

Yea thats correct because i see a 480X there and there is no 480X the bottom one is the 480 and its below the 390x......am I correct?

Mate, the long NDA alone should tell you everything you need to know about the 480

>>55314040
No, spastic.
They are entirely different architectures and that is not quantified there in simplistic bullet points.
The 480 doesn't compete with the 1070. It is positioned around the GTX 970 and 980.

>>55313714
dx12 games in the next 6 months. Can you name some for me as im not sure which ones you refer to?

Pretty much this, if AMD were proud of their card they would of went out of their way to have people review it before launch. Too bad AMD children don't understand this.

>>55314093
Not him but I only play BF and BF1 will be DX12 so this card will be perfect for me.

>>55313837

either this is bait or you are one dumb nigger who think buying dual blower cards in crossfire is a good idea. Ebin

>>55313847
I have to agree with that guy. The only cards that have ever failed on me were XFX cards. One was an 8800GT that crapped out after a year or so, back when they used to make Nvidia cards, and the other was an R9 290X DD that died after only 2 months. Every other card that I've bought from other manufacturers worked just fine. I even have an EVGA 8600GTS that still runs even though it must be close to 10 years old.

Will they ever learn. bro? I keep hoping after each AMD blunder they would realize their foolishness. They don't though.

>>55314283
xfx is also 1350 mghz and $269 for 8gb

>>55314249
No it isn't you retarded fuck. An NDA is a standard practice, and the industry itself wants them for marketing purposes.

The first sites to release reviews get the most traffic, so sites who jump the gun get the lion's share of web traffic. That makes everyone else butthurt, so they complain to the hardware vendor. The NDA is put in place, among other reasons, so that all reviews go live at the same time.

Its really like you 12 year old dipshit children have never seen a single GPU released ever before.

>>55314335

>>55314295
It's not rational. They're just fanboys who buy AMD everytime despite what the benchmarks say.

>>55314348
Yes.

>>55314335
this is actually killing me, I could save up to 4% on power bill
if it is 390 performance i will sidegrade before vega for this

>>55314297
In that case the NDA should release at least 2-5 days ahead of the actual release.

NDA releasing the day the product goes on sale stinks that they know that their product is a flop.

Nvidiots have entered extended damage control mode.

>>55314335
>bluray

Someones sucking the Sony cock lmao.

>>55314297
Not even remotely true.

Nvidia released the NDA a week before launch, because they knew the reviews were going to be good.

The only reason AMD is doing this is because they want people to be dumb enough to buy before even looking at any reviews.

Sadly the reviews will be smacking this card back down to earth where it belongs.

>>55314346
Point is that a huge chunk of the PC market has really old Hardware. Like R7 level of shit. If AMD manages to release a cheap chard that falls between the 970 and 980 without any of the AMD stigamta aka "hotter than sun, nuh power consuption and no driver" they are in a good spot, because a lot of people will use that to upgrade.

It applies to video playback in general.

At least Fury doesn't idle at 60W higher than nvidia cards with more than one monitor. Hope that carries over to 480.

>>55314369
Yes, they're really worried about an AMD product that can't beat 2 year old cards that Nvidia stopped making months ago.

Going to make one of those "smash desirable new item" videos that makes nerds cry and make me twice the money i paid for the card and put the profits towards a 1080.

>>55314397
>What card has a better price/power ratio?

RX480, it peaks at 130W or so (averages at something like 110W), while the 1080 peaks at fucking 310W (averages at 170W).

>>55314402
>Only on paper, look at the actual launch prices, they're all $250 and up which is even more than a brand new 970
4GB (actually 4GB) is going for 199.

The ones priced extra are factory overclocked 8GB versions.

>>55313575

>>55314402
>$250 and up which is even more than a brand new 970


Link to a brand new 970 for under $250 please.

>>55314402
Isn't Zotac the strongest version of 970?

>>55314401
>>55314402
If the rx 480 really is worse off than a 970 I fully agree: AMD is fucked and there is no point in the card other than the faint hope that an improved driver support helps out. And that is what is killing me about the NDA. It shouldn't be worse but everything is pointing to it.

One of the dumbest posts in this thread.

>>55314402
>they're all $250 and up which is even more than a brand new 970
good luck actually finding 970 for 250 in EU

480-260 euro
970 - is at least 350 and stock is dwindling fast

>>55314434
Yeah the one in question is factory overclocked to 1307Mhz, so very close to a stock 980.

Does anyone besides TPU do relative performance? Roll up average of 15ish games and display an average score? Cherrypicking games that one oe the other vendor do notably worse in is just shitposting.

>>55314434
Zotac are the budget card. But yet good.

>>55313758
I think it looks pretty slick but yeah it would probably burst into flames to second you change anything on it.

>>55314434
I am a super casual and looking at that one. I'll wait gor the rx480 benchmark and if it is shit I'll go for nvidia.

rx480 and the Z970 will cost the same in europe anyways.

>>55314428
sounds good...go for it, and if you don't do it you're a fagget.

>>55314447
TPU is best for getting relative performance.
Tom's is best for getting the actual power draw characteristics.
Everyone else just kind of throws some games at them, some biased towards AMD and some towards Nvidia.

>>55314473
You could probably measure +300W from 480. Depends on how fast you can sample with your oscilloscope.

>>55314470
That's a 970

>>55314056
He said solder, not thermal compound you doof

>>55314478
Why not wait for the MSI/Gigabyte/Sapphire versions of the 480?

If this one goes easily with a Zotac a better model will be around a 980ti

Chang shilling his chink shit in full force. Is it fear? Because 970's in Australia still cost $420 at the minimum. 480 8gb will most likely retail at $400, which makes it cheaper to begin with.

>Sadly the VRAM makes no difference
That's great man. You stick with your 1.5 year old 3.5gb card that tanks whenever more vram is needed. I hope it serves you well. Me though, I don't need a meme card.

I dont really get the retarded fanboyism on this board. Everybody should hope that the rx 480 is some good shit. Nvidia is charging borderline monopoly prices, lovely company it is. For me the CEO really reflects their mentality:

Every Nvidia fanboy hoping that AMD will fail does not love tech and loves being cucked by a chink. Every decent person will realize the importance of AMD winning some market share

This changes the fact that they make some of the highest clocked 970s out there how? In general a lot of their AMP! cards are generally really highly clocked for a given gpu.

>>55314538
I think most people are actually trying to stop AMDrones from buying a shitcard that can't compete against a two year old card. Believe me, I would love competition in the market. AMD just can't do it though.

i guess if you have the money to upfront and can be guaranteed you'll actually get the MIR then this would be maybe an ok deal?

All the deals that push the 970 down under 260$ are done after july 30th at the latest though, and the cheapest non-MIR model is just a re-shrouded reference cooler.

>>55314561

If this 480 thing works maybe it will be enough foir Jewidia to lower their fucking retarded prices.

>>55314544
I can tell you from experience that crossfire is not worth it and that HIS's cooler is nothing special. Only slightly above the xfx cooler, which is pretty shit. It still has the issue of leaving the vrm's out to fry, like the xfx though, so any reviews you read are only showing you the temperature of the gpu itself.
Stick to sapphire, Msi, or powercolor pcs+. Those are the three worth getting.

Says the guy who claims that the Zotac card has a 24% overclock because its boost clock is 24% higher than its base clock.

Why hasn't AMD inflated their numbers to keep up with Nvidia? 480 can't compete with 1080. People will assume that's the resolution they're capable of, because the average gamer is that stupid.

I tend to agree with you but it could also be due to immature drivers - they wanted enough time to correct any problems before the proverbial shit meets fan

>>55313575
I will always buy Nvidia™ because I only play games The Way It's Meant to be Played™. Nvidia also pioneers innovative new technologies like PhysX™, Gameworks™ and the highest quality driver to ever grace Windows. When I boot up with a brand new Nvidia™ Geforce™, I can experience the game just like it's meant to be played. Nvidia™ also delivers a far more silkysmooth experience. Nvidia Geforce™ is also very power efficient. A graphic card is the most power hungry device in your house. Refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, dish washers, lights, etc all use significantly less power than a graphic card. Which is why Nvidia™ puts gamers first by ensuring that their gaming experience is of the highest quality while looking out for gamers by giving them the most value in their electrical bill. At this point in time, there's really no reason to consider an AMD graphic card at all. I tried one one time, it caused so much heat that it exploded. It also consumed so much power that it gave off an EMP and destroyed the rest of my computer. Nvidia™ also pioneered how useless GPGPU is with CUDA™. Years ago, everyone thought GPGPU, CUDA™, and OpenCL were the future. Now, Nvidia™ has removed those useless features from their GPUs and increased efficiency. Now you can save thousands a year in electricity thanks to Nvidia™ ensuring that useless features like GPGPU are "optimized" for gamers. It's quite clear that OP's an AMD shill trying to convince you to settle on something less than The Way It's Mean to be Played™. Nvidia™ is the only real way to play games. We have seen recently that they offer incredible libraries for software developers like Nvidia Gameworks. He is probably too poor to afford the Nvidia Geforce Experience and can not afford to play any games The Way It's Mean To be Played™. Don't be a poor gamer with bad drivers and a huge power bill. Play games with the Geforce™ Experience™: The Way It's Mean To Be Played™

same here. i want to crossfire finally and 480 seem to be perfect for that.

>>55314750
They are probably waiting on the reviews and reception of 480 today to decide that.

>>55314538
I am pro AMD competition. I also think the RX 480 will be a great value for the consumer who can't spend more than $250. For a new architecture launch for AMD as a company, it is a shit product.

>>55314750
probably 25-30% below the 1070

>>55314739
>>55314750


>>55314750
>3 frames more than the 480
>$425 actual price
>5 in stock per state

get hype

>>55314750
probably $275-$350 "msrp" with actual prices being $300-$400

So, i think we can healthily expect the 1060 to have a 20% lead over the 480 and cost roughly the same.

>>55314739
you know what i love? they havent released any single B revision on the pascal yet they keep rushing them out and the geforce forums are already filled with problems from dual link boot problems to fans still not being manually corrected to throttling down to the base clock every time

>>55314792
I am pro competition from AMD. AMD shat the bed over 10 years ago (beginning with their purchase of ATI, which they couldn't afford) an never recovered and I am doubtful they ever will. Their finances are a mess and they must resort to pawning out their IP to stay afloat. The big winners for their recovery were to be this chip ($200-230 for a new GPU architecture? nice margins lol) and Zen (99.99% sure it's delayed to deep 1Q17 and it will be 5-10% behind INTC's last gen architecture).

I hope AMD stock gets a big spike up this morning so I can buy some cheap puts. But I still want AMD to do better to provide better options to consumers. INTC came back strong due to the competition from AMD. "Muh Vega" is too late.

>>55313575

But jokes aside, I hope AMD will make the best GPU on the market

>>55314739
>However the latest information suggest that actual launch will take place next week, on July 7th. Card will go on sale a week later on July 14th

Top kek. Will they also "launch" with 4 (four) units per vendor for 150% of the MSRP?

You'll be able to buy some in September then. And they'll be available for MSRP some time next year.

>>55314557
Cannot compete against what? It offers a good competition to the 980 and 970 cards because it has better price per performance and offers 4GB/8GB memory. Nvidia doesn't offer anything better in this price range and there is plenty of time until the 1060 release which is the actual card that the rx 480 will be competing against. The price of the 1060 will be probably:
(379 / 329) * 199 = 229
(1070 price / 970 price) * 960 price = 1060 price
It will be around 60% - 65% performance of the 1070 by looking at the tech specs.

>>55314739
Going off pure gp106 specs it'll probavly be around 80-90% slower than a 1080, dunno about ROP count or memory clocks but two should roughly equal one 1080

>>55314739
based

maybe this will finally put amd out of it's misery and we'll either get real competion from someone else or nvidia will be free to price pc gaming out of existence

There has been speculation of AMD selling off RTG. Intel would seem like a very, very interested buyer, but I don't see how that would make sense for AMD.

Best scenario for consumer is RTG sold to INTC and remainder of AMD bought by NVDA

the polish leak comes from a magazine. They most likely put the review in knowing that the magazine is slated to be released early july or late june. But due to many factors (print time, logistics, subscribers getting the mag earlier/later than street date, etc), the issue came out a day earlier than the NDA broke. From then on, it only took 1 guy taking a photo and uploading it to twitter for everyone to see the benches.

on that note, magazines are written 2-3 weeks before they hit the streets, since they have to edit all the pages, put them together, print them, send them out to paper stands, etc. So whatever benches they did, they did it with 2-3 week old drivers.

Articles on the internet don't magically write themselves on the release date either. It takes a long time to benchmark all the games, especially if you have +15 games to test and you test all of them at 4 different resolutions, something that TPU, for example, does. AMD (and nvidia too) gives out review samples weeks before the NDA ends, and while giving out those samples, they also give out press drivers. Magazine or not, they all use the same press drivers they were given.

>>55315204
We already have leaked reviews. If you think they're all going to disagree, well that would be quite absurd.

>XFX RX 480 8gb

>$333 USD equivalent

Pretty much as I feared, same price as Gtx 970 3rd party coolers.


Do we have live benchmarks now? I dont want to get blacked by RX Poo in Loo.

>>55315181
any actual info on those things you claim?
the nda is 3 h ahead...be sure to check hardocp because he will delete accounts faster than he will say amd..
kyle never had any fact concerning that article he never did he acted like a child and that will cost him since no one will take him seriously

>>55315218
If it's the same price as a 970, get the 970 because the 970 is literally faster.

>>55315214
theres contradictory information out there, in three hours all will be revealed

>>55314014
Twice as many ROPs for one. Stupid retards only look at tflops and fall for AMDs marketing.

>>55314904
>we'll wait and see
Nah, AMD already lost when they announced a midrange card worse than nvidia's entry level gaming card

>>55315221
I thought he was an idiot too until I actually saw how the 480 performed.

Now it's all coming true and people will be saying how he was 100% right.

>>55315214
Except the leaked reviews are all over the place and contradict each other in values within like 40%, be it performance, max OC, temps, noise etc.

Until some of the more legitimate sites publish their reviews it's all bullshit.

Don't tell me. Microsoft is going back to Intel to power project scorpio?

if the leaked review was legit and the 480 is really worse than a reference 970:

230 / 44 = ~$5.22/fps
380 / 98.9 = ~$3.84/fps

AMD made a card that is both slower than the 2 year old 970 it's competing with and worse price/perf than the current x70 card.

this is the price of H1B visa based hiring: extremely shitty engineering

Wonder if the 3rd party cards will fix the terrible read/write speeds

>>55315190
how so ? gcn was a decision maker there is an interview from 2013 i think from raja i cant find it if you are able to find it you will see what he is saying..
they were terrible on dx11 mainly because dx11 was never made for being paraller and most importantly amd introduced tessellation and they lost that battle because of the former ceo stupidly saying they wont fund for a revision..(and that was his stupid decision that made him go out of the company)
also amd has done quite a lot of superb cpus they failed horribly with the bulldozer and somehow people think they cant..

what is the market for the 400 series, anyway?
people who haven't upgraded in 5 years or who don't currently own pc's?

anyone who gives a shit already has somthing at or close to what these cards offer

For people who fell for AMDs last generation budget rebrands.

>>55315238
ARM and Intel both shit all over embedded AMD processors. You are in some kind of fantasy land if you think anyone even considers G series AMD processors.

The shitposting is because AMD got caught lying as the benchmarks suggest

>>55315235
you actually didnt see anything since the driver wasnt out till yesterday amd always gives drivers that doesnt support their upcoming cards thats why the one shipped with the cards is the 16.5.2 and not the 16.6.2

so keep on you might as well try to convince that a pig can fly

Guys, please buy AMD cards. If you don't Pajeet and Amir won't be able to feed their 20+ children.

>>55315244
but we need to shill that one game nobody plays that AMD is better at REEEEEEEEE STOP NVIDIA LIES AMD IS BETTER JUST LOOK AT MY PAJEET CHART

>>55315227
I'll wait for a week or 2 see for driver updates and benchmarks here before I pull the trigger

>>55315254
fermi/kepler/gcn 1/1.1/1.2(1.1/1.2 the lower ones till 380) basicly the 85% of the gpu market (at least this is what jrp says the TAM is for that bracket)

>>55315254
I have two 280X and will gladly sell them to ethereum miners to buy a single rx 480 if it is around/above Fury in performance when overclocked. Moved to a place with no AC and the 450W of heat can fuck right off

If performance is too bad I'll spend some extra cash on 1070

>>55315294
do the latter and you're set for the next 4-5 years unless you're thinking of VR meming or spending $800 on a 4K monitor

Underwhelming as expected. Congratulations to AMD for releasing a card that can sort of compete with a 2 year old 3.5gb design.

260€ in EU on release date is pretty good.

Hitman DX12 benchmark was relatively impressive, so there's that...

>14nm card two generations ahead of 970 still slower across the board

is this the end of AMD? are we going to see every generation after 10 series have permanent goyim edition pricing from now on?

>>55315308
I guess you're right, but I do have slight AMD bias so I'll wait for 3 more hours to see what's up and wait for a week to decide. 480 is 55% the price of 1070 over here.

>>55315308
>you're set for the next 4-5 years

he says that when 770 exist he says that when 970 on it's deathbed

>>55315269


are we pretending the 970 isnt OCd again?

>>55315341
get a used 980 instead, it's faster and cheaper
