Is the RX 480 the best budget and price for performance graphics

yes, buy two of them!

>>58444937
Wow, thanks anon!

>>58444884
yes. also AMD has been pushing new drivers like crazy.

>>58444884
yes

Unironically yes.

What about the 1050ti?

>>58445336
Not even close.

>>58445336
Garbage, the nearest Nvidia card to the 480 is actually the 1060 (not the 3gb), and the 480 is the better card in both price and performance.

>>58444884
Yes, and RX470 is even better in terms of price/perfomance ratio.

Getting either a RX480 or a GTX 1060 is a coin-flip decision.

>>58445420
Explain fellow anon, I want to know since I plan to buy the RX 480 for my future PC.

>>58445437
Both cards can have shit-tier binning. But at least ayymd does not gimp their cards in a year.

>>58445387
He was talking about price/performance ratio, which is topic of this thread. Still 480 beats 1050 Ti when it comes to that, not only in sheer powah.
>>58445397
Only slightly. It's still better to pick 480 over 470 if budget isn't too tight.
>>58445420
Coin flip my ass on 3 GB card. 1060 is good in 6GB variant and it's too expensive in this version. 480 4GB is enough, while 3GB 1060 sucks monkey dick.

>>58445336

1050 Ti is the best option for when you don't already have a decent/good/great power supply.

was playing doom at work today on my 1050 Ti on ultra @ 1680x1050 never went below 60 fps. works in any computer made since the pcie slot was invented.

actually the 1050 is the true bang for the buck king when you factor in the power supply, but you get into the 'might as well spend just a bit more' game.

oh did i mention the retarded overclocks i got on my 1050 Ti? it's basically limited by it's wattage and never goes above 63 C. got enough to gain about 6 fps on unigine heaven on ultra/2xAA/normal tesselation @ 1080p. i forget the clocks but i'll get back to you on that.

>>58444884
the RX 470 is technically the best performance per dollar, but it's worth spending a bit more for a 4gb 480

Price/performance
480 4GB > 470 4GB > 1050 > 460 > 1060 6GB > 1050 Ti > 1060 3GB

>>58444884
the 470 is better price performance, but its hard to argue against 8gb, especially if you are going to keep the card a generation or two.

It seems like most of the effects that will tank game performance that will be coming down the line will either be held back for 4k, or will be disableable in settings due to how demanding those settings are in real world.

>>58445336
Shit, can't do 60fps@1080p with high-ultra settings, needs to run at medium to be stable, and won't scale with DX12/Vulkan like the RX 470

BUT WAIT, which version is better the 8GB or 4GB version?

>>58444884
R9 290 is cheaper and performs better you dumbasses

>>58445593
8GB is slightly faster but 4GB is much cheaper

Yes. While expensive at $250 after rebate, try to grab the XFX GTR version with lower clocks, it's apparently better binned to a 95W TDP.

Price/performance is a terrible metric for video cards

I just wait till a hurricane comes then scalp a newish gaymen pc off someone who can barely afford to evacuate. Then i wait the huricane out with a box of mres.

Works pretty well. Considering hurricanes happem every year so i can upgrade pretty often.

I am literally concerned about this shit due to me currently using a trash windows 10 locked lenovo laptop and seeking a good build for my replacement PC, but you Nvidiots never get it.

>>58445729
Isn't the 1060 a much better overclocker?

>>58445710
It looks like it was made as a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a regular size resistor inside. A resistor of that value and and apparent power rating might be useful as a dummy load. When you test a high power transmitter and don't want to transmit a signal you need something to act as the load. A big resistor is what you need. 50 ohms is the normal value for that. Most dummy loads I see for amateur radio use are basically resistors inside a paint can filled with oil. You can put 1.5kW into them.

>>58445729

it's an excellent metric, it shows the bell curve of where the best performance for the money is.

50 dollar card a shit if new, ok if used
100 dollar card not bad/ good if used
150 dollar card good/ great if used
200 dollar card good/ excellent if used high end
250 dollar card diminishing returns
300 dollar card + significantly diminishing returns

You're using price/performance to sketch out a broad trend across all cards. OP is just flat out claiming the RX 480 is the best while ignoring all the different variables and vast price variances that exist. Honestly, I couldn't definitively say whether the 1060 or the 480 is the better price/permanence card, or call any single card the best. It depends on your needs and the specific prices available to you at the time you're looking to buy.

not really. since launch the 480 has beaten the 1060 in quite a few benchmarks which should only get better over time. liked my first 480 so much i bought a second one.

The GTX 1050/TI is hands down the most powerful GPU you can buy that doesn't need an external 6PIN, and you will pay a premium for that, just like the 750TI when it came out and the GTX 950 6pin-less green edition.

>>58446053

not OP. but I would consider one of those if my psu could handle it and if it did not have a bad rep for coil whine.

>>58445336
I have a 1060 myself but at that price you might as well spend a little bit more and get a 470 over the 1050ti.
470 wins and this is coming from a Nvidia fanboy

>>58444937
CrossFire and SLI are shit. Just wait for Vega if you want to spend more.

What happened to graphics card prices? Entry level cards used to be $100 and budget cards $150-200

>>58455635
Easily the 480. The 480 competes with the 1070, not the 1060.

1050Ti < 470 < 1060 < 480 ≈ 1070 < 1080

>>58455892
1070 is around 70% faster than fury x, and fury x is faster than rx480, so it doesn't

>>58455874
Nvidia and their retarded consumers happened. I blame the first Titan for all of this and AMD's blunders despite rolling out great cards in Tahiti and Hawaii.

WELL OF COURSE IT IS!*

* - Terms and conditions apply. Please when promoting 480 RX remember to don't review DX11 games, ignore any OC potential of Nvidia cards and claim that 480 RX is $50 cheaper than 1060 while providing benchmarks of the most expensive model that doesn't thermal throttle itself.

>>58455986
Yes, and? It's one of the best selling cards ever but it was still over $300. I bought one two years ago for $240 after selling the shit bundled game so I got a good deal. The others had to pay somewhere in the realm of $100 more for it.

Kind of. The 1060 is a good card but if you saved some more you could have gotten a 1070

>>58456268
is the "AMD finewine" thing real?

i have a computer already build. with a new i5-7600k and waiting until Neir Automata comes out before getting a gpu. i could get a gtx 1070 now but AMD is being such a teasing Cunt. And i dont know if there is any point in waiting. is their Software support a value added or over hyped by a fanbase looking for excuses for their purchase. BEcause if they are great at supporting their products and make a gpu for the same price and power as the 1070, with a longer life span being relevant, then I would get AMD's gpu.

but i dont want an unstable power hungry inefficient house fire that only runs Doom and Hitman....

>>58455892
>>58455938
You're both retraded

>>58455635
but the 480 is superior

>>58456517
that fine wine garbage is deluded fangirls twisting the fact that it takes amd like 2 years to finally tap the full potential of the gpu and making out like it's a good thing. it is known amd always has the beefier specs but the performance never lives up to the hardware specs until way after release whereas with nvidia they have less cores and shit but the cards are extremely efficient in the way they work and also because of drivers.

>>58455635
480. But go for a better 480 if you can afford it; the Nitro isn't that loud but it is louder than the others.

This question isn't answerable with out one specific game or a list of them. For the games I play the 1060 6gb running at 2150mhz and +400 memory clock is far faster than a rx 480 around 1350 or 1400mhz. Like 20 fps faster. The problem with graphic card debates is that you're trying to prove a point you haven't clearly stated. Is the rx 480 the best bang for buck card for this game that game and that game is what you should be asking because it's a question that can be answered with actual data

>>58456675
i dont really mind volume. but i think ill get the nitro. im really stretching my budget already.

Yes, it is a thing. AMD makes their cards better overtime while Nvidia gimps them. Plus you don't have to create an account just to download drivers.

This is actually decent after the promo code and rebate. Better than the 480 for a bit more.
