Is this the new go to product for absolute value?

Where can I still get the 4gb version of this? It seems to be sold out everywhere on newegg and amazon.

no, wait for gtx 1060

Will the 1060 have 8GB o vRAM and only cost $239?

No? Fuck off then.

I'm coming from the official /g/ graphics card of 2010/2011, an HD 6950 flashed with 6970 firmware. As someone who is upgrading more because of a desire to modernize and use less electricity rather than a need for more power, is this my best bet?

No, the 470 is. It OC's to 390 performance making it perfect for 1080p @ $150. Ordering the first non-reference that releases.

No, the RX480 will trigger some system shut downs due to drawing more power from the PCIE slot than the fucking 6 pin.

Science Studio
- I should clarify. The only motherboards that will likely experience any issues are those with terrible power delivery integration or boards from ~2006 and earlier featuring PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 revisions. Most modern boards - even the cheap ones - should be fine. Again, my suggestion is (just to be safe): wait for third-party 480s to roll out. Search for the 8-pin and 6-pin x2 cards and opt for those. Thanks for watching!

>>55365880
You're an idiot lol. The spikes are what will do damage. Having 20W above the rated value as average is fine, the tracers and VRM are over engineered to be safe and underrated to ensure they don't have to warranty them constantly.
Spikes are what blows tracers and CAPS. And even the 200-something Watt spikes aren't going to damage it at the tiny amperage they use.

>>55365963
>>55366028
I mean it's useful for CF setups because let vram meme but that's about it. It can't run graphics intense enough as a single GPU to need 8GB. At the same time the spikes are a non-issue.

Kys

an OCed 970 is better value currently. the 480 won't be good until AMD respins to fix the power issues. the card simply requires too much voltage to reach it's advertised clock speeds, so unless AIBs make some 400w frankencards it won't ever be good value.

6 pin and 8 pin can supply the same current. 480 needs two or three connectors, not an 'upgrade' to an 8 pin connector.

>>55369682
No. 8 pin adds 2 ground connectors, increasing power up to 150w instead of 75w.

That would give the rx480 up to 225w available.

>>55369716
>No. 8 pin adds 2 ground connectors, increasing power up to 150w instead of 75w.

that's not how electricity works, the 6 pin connector was originally only rated for 75w because the third 12v pin was optional. every psu manufacturer these days includes it though which means they can delivery the same amount of current safely. good PSUs are overbuilt and can handle the extra load even if you go out of spec as well.

extra ground literally just reduces chances of your pcie connector bursting into flames, it's useless to have the extra ones in practical use cases (which is why 8 pins on gpus are becoming extinct)

>>55364894

Absolutely not. The 1060 is coming out this month and rumor has it that the 480's "weaker" sibling, the 470, has less power draw and can match its performance with a couple of tweaks.

>>55369760
That's technically true, but the card still won't draw 150w from a 6 pin because it shouldn't.

Also cheap psu cables will melt.

It will benefit from 8pin.

>>55364894
yes

>>55370070
Eat shit and die

>>55369777

Pardon? Are you trying to say it is anyone's obligation to prove you wrong?

It seems that the presentation of poor logic is never-ending with you.

P.S. You might want to look at PCper's own graphs to see that "dangerous" up and down that you say the 480 doesn't have, especially when it is overclocked as they filtered the readings.

It's pretty obvious now that the extreme clockspeed of Nvidia's 10XX series caught AMD totally off guard so they had to push 480 beyond its limits to make it appear better.
I wouldn't be surprised if an OC 1050 was able to trade blows with RX480.

well as long as you actually find a second to answer then yes

the card normally draws 10% more from the pcie 75 to 80-84 that toms said
what pcper showed on his table was an increase of 22% 12 % of what it should normally be just because he "mistakenly" didnt included the whole current

Uh, wut? The graphs show 3.3v, 12v and 6pin power draw as well as total draw.
That seems to account for the 3.3v reading. Each is isloated and represented in the graph so the 3.3v was accounted contrary to your claim of "didn't accounted[sic]"

>what pcper showed on his table was an increase of 22% 12 % of what it should normally be just because he "mistakenly" didnt included the whole current
What current was not included? 12v rail, 3.3v rail, and the 6pin. What current was missed?

you can undervolt it a bit while keeping current clocks, should easily be able to fix the problem.

ill dual boot win 7 and 10 possibly use a virtual os for them so i don't have to shut shit down and get a 32gb computer to facilitate this.

the tech is designed to handle short spike in W, by the use of capacitors, what the pci-e slot is not designed is continue use of over the limit W, the famous example is the 960gtx strics which amd shills keep bringing up, it have lots of spikes but its alright since its average 55W (well below 66W limit), on other hand RX480 also have these same spikes, which is alright as well, but its averaging 80W, which is outside of pcie limit.

don't forget, the 1060 will be a better value than any shit AMD will try to rip-off.

It did cause short term damage. And this guy had his cards undervolted.
