Should I upgrade from this to a RX 480?
It's still alive but I never overclocked it because I'm a pussy
>>
>>56357017
A 480 would be a good upgrade. Or a Nitro Fury if you can find it at $300.
>>
>>56357042
I doub't it, I buy tech stuff in a neighbour country cuz mine has a shit economy
I'll probably wait until December, but the 480 it's my goal
>>
>AMD

just get a used 970 if you're on 1080p or a 1060. 480 is DOA. if you really want AMD then the 470 is a better value and isn't crippled by the terrible reference 480 design.
>>
>>56357042
> $300

You can't be serious right? Why would he pay $100 more for a fucking $200 card + a shitty cooler slapped on? What a joke of a price.
>>
>>56357526
>970
>ever
>let alone now
fuck off nvidiot
>>
>>56357541

the 970 is faster and cheaper than the 480 and 470, the only reason people even buy AMD right now is brand loyalty.
>>
>>56357042
>>56357540
Ah fug I read it as nitro 480.
>>
>>56357555
>970 faster than 480
What? Where did you get this from?
>>
>>56357555
>tfw rx 470 is the price the RX 480 should be in euro land
>tfw gtx 1060 6gb is supposed to be more expensive than the RX 480 but is actually the same price as a reference 480
>tfw buying an aib 480 8gb is way more expensive than an aib 1060

Why can't amd into prices in europe
>>
>>56357604

the real question is: where did you get the idea that the 480 is faster than a 970? 480 is slower than a ref 970 out of the box and has worse OC headroom.

since this is gpu related


what is the last good and stable driver to use for gtx970 (got it for 100bucks unused) running on win10, they new ones have all kind of bugs, like dsr not working properly

i tried driver 362.00 but it refuses to instal itself on win10 even after using dddu and compatibility mode

Not him but I just flicked through that video and the 480 was losing every single time from 2-10 fps. Not very good comeback, my friend.
>>
>>56357017
You should upgrade that
Its nearing 7 years old and will be crippled by 1gb vram in any modern application.
>>
>>56357017
yes

>>56357526
nice meme

>i randomly skipped, the whole video is now the opposite of what it actually is.
check the video again, what you say isnt true
>higher fps in fallout 4 and witcher 3
>>
>>56359063

kek. you must be blind or the world's most delusional fanboy. the 970 is faster than the 480, that's a fact.

If you are a poorfag the RX 470 isn't much slower and is significantly cheaper and easier to find in stock.
>>
>>56357017
Wait for the 490 to come around. By that point, 470/480 prices will have stabilised and you'll have more free cash - and thus a choice between strong 490 or midrange 480.
>>
>>56359419

Fuck first time I had issues with any PC component was getting my 290 tri-x, it has to be slighty underclocked all the time because if not I get black screens and errors.
Amd offered to rma it after sapphire didn't give me a solution, it's more expensive to pay for shipping & handling than just getting a new card.

Well it works anyway but fuck it
