AMD has to save that penny.

Get ready for 3 alterations of 480 over next 3-4 years same way you saw 3 alterations of 7970 with minor $20 price cuts with each gen.

This company is such a fucking joke but sadly we live in a world where people will settle for less if it means saving 40 dollars on a purchase you make once every few years.

It's a shame that Vega isn't coming out yet. But they never said it would come out 2017 H1. People need to be patient; for all we know, we could have a Pascal crusher + Volta competitor on our hands. HBM2 is on the Horyzen.

While AMD catched up with Intel, which is totally the fault of Intel for not pushing more into R&D, Nvidia is moving forward with even bigger steps after one.

AMD won't be able to catch up with Nvidia in the GPU departement.

Vega will be already outdated after half a year of its release with Volta coming.

Pretty much this.

I don't care if a card is a rebrand if it provides good performance for the price. The thing is just that a 480 is starting to get really weak in comparison to a now cheaper 1080 or a 1080ti. It's like AMD only sells toys before Vega.
>>
>>59189296
The reason it isn't out yet is precisely to avoid this
AMD could've released Zen much sooner but decided not to, to avoid being the budget option again
Vega is the same no doubt about it. They already showed something that performed like the GTX 1070 back in December, and that wasn't even on proper driver making use of the architecture. Yet no sight of Vega yet.
There's no point in releasing a flagship card that is outperformed massively (see 1080ti performance) at launch.

AMD needs to focus on getting profits instead of pleasing gaymer kids, they better come up with a compute monster that fucks with nvidia in the datacenter and deep learning markets.

So long as the cards are better due to improvements in production I don't have a problem with rebranding regardless of who does it

This way is better because now when I decide to upgrade from my GTX 660 I won't need to worry about whether the store I am buying my new GPU from is selling older lower quality cards or is selling the newer better quality ones as it will be a different branding.

Provided these cards give as they are claiming a 5% or so improvement for the same power would you rather that they be rebranded or run the risk of purchasing an older lower performing one because you can't tell the difference?

It's not like people are going to purchase these as an upgrade over the older version, though some consumer whores might but who cares about them.
>>
>>59189529

Do it faggot. AMD lost the most powerful thing, word-of-mouth from gamers.

Nvidia found a golden egg, cuz they have no problem in expanding the non-gaming related sections because of the recognizable, trustful name.

Most gamers tend to have a professional job, so they can recommend nvidia instead of AMD enthusiastically in B2B.
>>
>>59189597
Even as an AMD supporter, I can admit that they got nothing on the 1070, 1080, and the 1080 Ti (Titan XP is overpriced as shit). Nvidia is indeed currently far stronger and better at $350 and above price points.

However, I recall Raja saying he wanted capable $1000 4k gaming rigs to be a thing. Ryzen has arrived. Now Vega needs to show up. Nvidia might be stronger, but Vega will probably have monstrously better pricing like Ryzen compared to Intel.

Likely, as gamers are getting higher binned 480's now, the 500~ series should be higher clocking and more refined on the lithography side, allowing higher performing cards to be made/allowing consumers to finally get what they were selling embed partners.

there is a chance it will go down in price, but if the clock rate is lets say 150-200mhz higher, its likely just going to replace it at the same point.
>>
>>59188343
In all honesty, does anyone here expect amd to bother with consumer gpus till they can mcm them?

Look at the facts, as much as nvidiots hate it, amd was the better buy straight through to the 900 series gpus, and they sold like shit.

Why actually bother making a high end gpu is nearly all the research is for not?

The only reason vega is coming out to consumers in what looks to be a good form is, and look close to what they added, because its real world test bedding the mcm abilities. half the tech in the gpu makes no sense till you put it into that context.

nvidiots wanted a monopoly just like intel users, the only difference is you got it on the gpu side, not so much the cpu, yet.

>>
>>59188506
likely for another 4~ years with no worry, consoles are starting to push 4k and that's not going to be possible on the hardware they are given, so sacrifices are going to be made.
>>
>>59191484
This seems really reasonable. I don't think AMD is competing either. Just sort of letting RTG do its thing to try to get out ahead of Nvidia in areas that AMD already has an IP lead. Vega is not a savior of a GPU. Isn't it already basically known to be like a 9 TFLOP GPU? It's basically a 1080.
>>
>>59189462
vega is a test bed with some new tech in it to back the gpu up, its interesting, but pretending its anything more than a real world test for the connection tech that will make navi possible is stupid.
>>
>>59191607
12.5tflops

some of the interesting tech, the 50% not geared toward mcm seems to be there for fix amd's biggest issue, saturating the fucking shaders.

If amd can saturate the shaders at all times, there's not a single chip nvidia makes that will touch it, but barring that, amd will likely be around 1080 if not ahead slightly, may pull ahead at higher resolutions.

The thing is, its a test bed, I can imagine them selling cut ones around 350 and full gpu at 450-500, amd is in a position where they need marketshare, so if they put it out cheap and call it a wash on consumer end, while selling higher binned ones for profit to enterprize who just need flops, the drivers themselves don't matter nearly as much, I can see them trying this strategy out, especially considering how just the zen pre launch is going. on the gpu front its all about getting marketshare back, and if amd partner up with intel and ACTUALLY make the gpu portion and intel puts that on the interposer, that's nvidia getting cornered out of the gpu market on pc. I doubt amd will make intel's gpus, but its a possibility that makes sense, intel sucks dick at gpus, and amd are fairly experienced with mcm.

I don't really understand your English, bro.

That's a weird comparison as Fiji, although still GCN, has HMB which changes quite a bit about how it operates.

Polaris has much more in common with Tonga and Tahiti. If you wanted to call Polaris a Tonga rebrand you'd be partially correct, although Polaris does have the Primitive Discard Accelerator that Tonga lacks. To my knowledge there is really nothing on the die of Pascal chips present that isn't present on Maxwell chips. They're just clocked higher thank to the die shrink and have some evolutionary improvements to features previously included on Maxwell in addition to some extraneous shit like 10bit hardware encoding.

please stop

1080 has like 300 less cuda cores than the 980ti, and 256 bit memory bus instead of 980's 384 bit.

so 1080 performing the same as the 980ti at the same clockspeed means 1080 is far more efficient, meaning that pascal is a simply better arch

That's why he said at the same FLOPS and not clockspeed.
>>
>>59188400
The difference was that the 7970 was 3 years ahead of NVidia and the HBM cards were damn significant.

They could at least make a RX580 with double the transistors and HBM to sell as a RX590.
The RX580 is barely going to compete with the 1070, and only because it'll be a bit cheaper.
But the reality is anyone with an RX480 can just overclock their cards to be an RX580.

This is shit.
>>
>>59189529
This is a lot of what Vega is.
It has a lot of features for data centers.
Supports 512bit floats and its half precision float performance is double that of Nvidias.

But it's taking too fucking long.
>>
>>59193001
Yeah, it's fucked up. The 7000 was like 60% more performance for the same MSRP as the 580 when it came out. Nvidia had to cut their MSRPs across the board 30%, but they still weren't competitive. Pretty much the biggest leap in performance that happened in a year, at least in the past 15 years.

Maybe AMD wasn't bothering because they can never win. Nvidia is just marketed to normies better.
They're trying to leapfrog with Vega, but it looks like Volta could be right around the corner as well while Nvidia was still able to make lots of high end models.
>>
>>59193439
Not that guy, but why couldn't they have shrunk Fiji to 14nm and slightly increased transistor count?

Then they'd be more power efficient at the small process, and the Fury, Nano, and Fury X were all more powerful than the RX480.

The R9 Fury was a really good card. With driver updates, it's a lot better than the 980. It's like 80-95% the performance of the 1070. So why couldn't AMD just die-shrink it and sell it for $400 as the R10 Polaris or something?
>>
>>59193441
There was actually significant changes in each generation of GCN from the 7970, to the 290, 390, etc.
The only rebrand was that the 7970 became the 280 and stuff like that, but the top end ones, the 290 and 290X, were refreshed architecture.
>>
>>59194737
But you can get an RX480 for $150-$185.
I bet the RX580 is $250. Why would you pay so much more for the same performance you can get from a mild OC?

>>59194943
RX480 is not a rebranded 390X. Polaris has significant differences. It's actually significantly faster now days with the driver updates, and overall much better performance on top of it being cheaper.
>>
something people don't understand is amd took all their resources to make ryzen which is already a giant success

because you see, most people on here and other vocal parts of the internet are literally children and/or students who don't make their own money, they come to it either by begging mommy and daddy or by saving up over a long period of time from their shitty job or grandma's welfare

then when they finally decide to spend their hard saved/begged money, since they won't be upgrading in a while, they feel the need to rationalize their purchase by claiming their choice was the best and they would buy the part from the same manufacturer again (since it's the best), leading to brand loyalty and all-around butthurt. they want EVERYONE to buy the parts from their manufacturer so they don't feel left out, or come to the conclusion they got jewed hard and their money could have been put to better use.

the reason you ONLY see people arguing is because most of the sane people keep their mouth shut, do their research, decide on what is best for their needs and their budget from reading multiple sources and bringing a rational decision. and then they just get on with it

Holy fuck this delusion. RX480 can barely OC to stock 980 levels. What sort of magical vbios and oc you would have to apply in order to get RX 580 levels of performance that, as you claimed, will compete with 1070?

AMD is usually the best price/performance and longevity. I have a 7970 and 7950 still in service. 3GB w/ boost cards that OC quite well. They spank any Nvidia card they were meant to compete with and then some. GCN was a huge success imo. Drivers improved quite a bit over the years and kept improving. I had to retire my older Nvidia cards that weren't as old because of deprecating hardware/drivers.

I'm sure it's more meme for the top tier Nvidia cards like a 970 or 980 but sadly the lower tier and mid range either die outright or choke. You'll understand once you acquire more resources and are able to buy more than one card over the years.

Jesus Christ. Everytime AMD releases new GPUs only the top GPUs are new. It's a shame because I prefer AMD as a GPU brand since Eyefinity has more flexibility then surround, AMD has better legacy driver support, and Nvidia supposedly requires a fucking account or facebook thing for driver updates.

No, the (7xxx) now don't support the asynchronous shaders. The Nvidia 8xxx support win10

>>59212098
Nvidia requires account for their geforce experience which is literally overbloated shadowplay and "automatic game settings optimization" which doesn't optimize games for 99% of the time.

Their drivers is a whole different thing and you can install them separately. I would've known since I've dumped gforce experience over a year ago.

The R9 Fury was $220 about the same as the good XfX RX480 version.
>>
>>59215289

The RX 480 has a new architecture, and, by the look of it, he has the 8 GB version.

The R9 Fury would have been an easy recommendation if it weren't for having only 4 GB of HBM and having a really high power consumption in comparison to the RX 480. It's architecture is experimental and not power efficient.

Hopefully, we see a successor the R9 Fury with 8 GB or possibly 16 GB of HBM2 (to compete with Pascal + Volta) in the near future.
