Performance summary:
1- Tom's put this card as below the GTX 970 and R9 390, but not by much.
2- TechPowerUp, Anandtech, PC Perspective, Hexus, HardwareCanucks, and KitGuru put the card at slightly above the GTX 970 and R9 390.
3- LegitReviews, GamerNexus and HardOCP puts the card on par with the GTX 970 and R9 390.
Details:
1- All reviews mention that the cards does considerably better on DX12, where it can beat the GTX 980
2- The reviews praise the card's overall power consumption, but some note that it exceeds the standard power limits (86W from PCIe, instead of 75W)
3- Most lament the temps of the reference cooler.
4- Most of the reviews note that the reference cooler does well on the noise. As good as nVidia's reference cards? No, but this is something to note, considering the horrible reference jet engines of AMD's 290/290X cards.
5- Overclocking results are mixed, some reviewers getting up to 10% OC, and some barely 2%.
Overall:
A good launch for AMD. The card is slightly above the GTX 970/R9 390, and cheaper. Once non-reference versions are out, with better temps, this should be a great purchase. If you already have a GTX 970/R9 390, this card will do nothing for you.

FAQ:
>When will we get non-reference cards?
Typically, within a couple of months of launch.
>Buy this, or buy a GTX 970/R9 390?
The RX 480 is slightly better, for slightly cheaper, so go for it instead. If you absolutely need a card RIGHT NOW and cannot wait for it to be in stock, then you do not lose much by getting a GTX 970/R9 390.
>I was expecting it to beat GTX Titan X SLI! This SUCKS!
This is a $200 card. It beats older $200 cards, and is on par with older $330 cards.
>[company x] BTFO! Fanboys on suicide watch! lel, kek, and kys!
We can do that, but it is a waste of your time and energy. We can talk about the new card instead.

Again
The RX 480 draws more power than the GTX 1070 and performs considerably worse.
Power consumption is just 22w less than the Radeon Fury Nano, and performance is considerably behind that Nano as well.
Unless drivers bring a 20% performance uplift Polaris 10 is a big flop. If you look at the performance directly compared to the Hawaii/Grenada die then we see performance per CU has actually decreased. If the RX 480 were clocked at 1050mhz it would be woefully behind the R9 390 in everything. Outside of DX12 there appears to be no IPC uplift visible from the new arch.
The performance and power consumption of this card is so troublesome that it appears outright broken.

Gotta get that bitcoin market bruh. Nvidia gets lower temps and power consumption by completely nuking single and double precision performance.
This might also be why AMD is good in DX12, all the compute shit.
>>55321213
>>55321222
Gentlemen, please. There really is no point in bashing AMD/nVidia.
nVidia just released cards in the $400-$600 range.
AMD released a new card in the $200-$240 range.
There is no point in getting upset, when the new cards do not compete with each other.
>>55321281

t. I got my family member to order that 970 yesterday
Was really hoping it would have been closer to the 980 in performance, pretty gay.
>>55321369
Why would he get an inferior card?
>>55321325
So the 8gb 480 ($230) costs 54% as much as the 1070 (I used $420 for this calculation), and the 1070 performs 50% better than the 1070. Correct me if I'm doing my math wrong, but doesn't that mean the 1070 and the 480 have the same price/performance ratio?

What are the rules when it comes to ordering these adapter cables? My monitor has DVI-D in.
>>55321371
The non-reference 480's will have better cooling and be factory OC'd at higher clock speeds. Those will most likely perform a lot better and by that time drivers will be better as well.
>>55321383
Apparently those paint chips did lasting damage, friend.
>>55321115
>4- Most of the reviews note that the reference cooler does well on the noise. As good as nVidia's reference cards? No, but this is something to note, considering the horrible reference jet engines of AMD's 290/290X cards.
This is retarded, the rx 480 goes up to 5++k rpm in 100%, the 1070 founder's edition barely reaches 4k.
Of course the noise will be higher
>>55321417
HOLY SHIT NVIDIOTS BTFO
>>55321371
It should have been. But then
>32 ROPs
No one could have predicted that. Then again, they only gave the Fury X 64 ROPs. And that is why the Fury X failed. Luckily, this card is still fine with 32 ROPs, just not as good as it could have been. I guess it's the only way they could get that $200 price point.
>>55321394
No idea
I checked the pins of my monitor and it had the pattern in DVI-D.
So I entered "DVI-D HDMI" into the search and looked for a cable that looked like it had the same connection and wasn't too expensive, because price makes no difference in quality.
>>55321381
Inferior cards are nearly 10% faster?
Hmmm
>>55321406
Don't even bother, AMD drivers will drag it down anyway.
>AMD doesn't have driver problems you shill
>uhh, the 480 will perform better once
>>55321417
It doesn't show which prices they used for the 1070.
>>55321242
Oh shit, its already in Indonesia?
Anyone knows the estimate time when AMD will released the 460 or 470?
Gonna need at least 40 of them before 2017.

>>55321447
>>uhh, the 480 will perform better once

>>55321325
That statistic doesn't prove much. it doesn't show real-time performance at all.
From ANandtech:
RX 480 only wins in Hitman, the Division and ashes of Sing. In the other games Nvidia wins despite having 3.5 GB of VRAM
>>55321447
Nvidia releases driver optimizations over time with new cards as well. Stupid shill.
>>55321242
>63C max
>>55321383
>costs 54% as much
>1070 performs 50% better
You're mixing up two different percentages here.If we use $420 and $230, then 1070 costs costs 82% more than 480 while performing 50% better. Or, 480 costs 54% as much while having 67% the performance.
>>55321465
To use it.
>>55321485
Thank you. I knew I was forgetting something.
>>55321276
Yes, Polaris means AMD's 14nm silicon can't compete with nVidia's 16nm.
That said, don't forget to note the RX480 is a buy @ $240.
>>55321383
RX 480 has price:performance at 1080p, GTX 1070 at 1440p.

>>55321506
AMD's 4th gen GCN is barely competing with 2nd gen GCN. All the IPC uplifts touted have amounted to nothing.
>>55321552
That's one way to speculate. My way would be to think Vega is Polaris with HBM2 and a watercooler slapped on.

>>55321583
I just really want Vega to be good, ok? Nvidia is going insane with power now. This Funder's Edition paper launch limited supply buy buy buy shit is really not ok.
Performance is great at $200. What I don't like is the power consumption, It's barely even better than the 970 which is on a 28nm node. The FinFET they're using must be garbage. That being said, it's still a great buy, it's just a little worrisome for future cards like the 1060 and the RX460.
>>55321552
No this isn't the case at all. Apple did in fact purchase Polaris 11 and 10 GPUs for upcoming products.
Apple is probably keeping the GPUs clocked low, which seems to be the only way these cards would shine in perf/watt.
It still could be another R9 285 again as well where Apple acquired all functional high binned dies, and the consumer market only got the lower binned left overs.
>>55321591

Ok at least we got that one settled. The common case of the lucky binned chip. 99% of everyone else won't even get close to 1.4ghz even with a better cooler. It seems the shit overclocking rumors are true for the most part.

How long does that usually take?

>>55321638
Its still far better option than my old 7790. Most of the time it always reached 110w while gaming.
I'm expecting the new 460 will at least max out under 60-70w
With this I can at least cut my e-bills for 20% each months after replacing all 40 of them.
>>55321659
Actually the card is power throttling when ocing. With more power, they can probably go higher. It just needs more than a 6 pin power connector.
>>55321707

290x sold for sub $200 near the end of its life until they rebranded it into the $420 390x.
And now we see the rx480 is even weaker than the 290, basically providing less pref/$ than a card released in 2013.
Sony would like to thank all you new 480 owners for beta testing the Neo.

Hey Falco, I have a little question about LI.

This is the only reason it's not outperforming a 390x. Not to mention the ridiculous 512-bit memory interface of the 390 series. The card has 390 performance with half the ROPs, half the memory-interface width, and slightly less shaders. With drivers optimizations it will outperform a 390x at 1080p eventually. It will probably never do as well at 1440p however, due to the hardware gimps. Vega will be the ungimped, 1440p card.
>>55321674
You misunderstand my post. I was just pointing out facts. My real worry is with Vega.
>>55321715
Of course it will be better. The RX480 is for everybody that isn't running last generations low high end or above. For instance, my brother is still running a 670, the RX 480 will be a perfect upgrade for him at 1080p.
Should I go 8 or 4gb?
>>55321760

>>55321831

>>55321831
They pushed the 1060 release early, so it will probably be the same price or around the same price as the RX 480. If the 1060 releases AMD is absolutely done.

>>55321881
If you are pushing ~60 FPS in the games you are currently playing the answer is obviously no.
>>55321815
We already know the 1060 will be just as shitty as the 480 but more expensive and with way shittier DX12 performance.

Would my Athlon X4 860K bottleneck the fuck out of an RX 480? My GTX 950 is already feeling like it's limiting my system somewhat, but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to get the 480 or wait for the 470 or even the 460.
>>55321866

Right, the card will sure BTFO of the 480 with it's 192-bit memory interface. There's no way it will cost more money with less VRAM. And there's no way AMD wasn't awaiting the 1060. They must be absolutely shocked that the 1060 exists, because Nvidia hasn't released x60 series cards since forever.

Good source of info.
>>55321815
It's guaranteed to have better power consumption. The 480 draws more power than a fucking 1070 so the 1060 should easily do better. Also nvidia can literally just shrink a 980 chip to 16nm and it'll be better than the 480 with superior overclocking lmao.
>>55321922
Mine is still alive after 5 years
>>55321904

Deciding between GTX 970 and RX 480.
I'm in Sweden where the GTX 970 is about 50$ cheaper. Also based on past experience i prefer Nvidia (especially the drivers)
Which should i buy?
>>55321917
probably okay if you can get a good overclock
>>55321939
Have you looked at benchmarks? The RX 480 can barely match a GTX 970 and R9 390 and performs the same as a R9 290x. You won't get 144 FPS in modern games buddy
>>55321921

>>55321862
>If the 1060 releases AMD is absolutely done.
I suspect this *could* be true. However, nVidia might well prefer to cede a share of the lower market ranges to AMD instead of kill them off outright. That's what Intel has done and I'd say it's been a net positive for them.

Am I the only one thinking that Nvidia doesn't have to try too hard to totally piss in AMDs cornflakes with the gtx1060 like they can step in and totally obliterate any market share AMD will pick up on the midrange segment
>>55321918
because the Titan X isn't a retarded, overpriced chip with a price point that no one should ever consider meaningful in any way right? It's not like the only reasons the 980 Ti exists is because of AMD, of course. Nvidia released it out of the goodness of their hearts. They're definitely not driving up the cost of an average GPU because they can. The 1060 definitely won't be an overpriced, heavily gimped card. Nvidia would never do such a thing!

Plays tv causes a performance hit when recording. I know this because my friend uses it to stream league of legends. Also it doesn't have gamestream.

>>55321901
>I seriously doubt the 1060 will be as slow as this chip
Not a guarantee by any definition of the word.
>>55321918
What the fuck are you on? Not a single card with Titan X performance has sold for $379 anywhere on this planet. The RX 470 hasn't been released yet and the RX 480 is faster than the R9 290. Why would I need to wait if it has already been confirmed? This makes little to no sense.
>>55321969
It's cheaper and performs better than the RX 480 in most games with 3.5 GB of VRAM and he can get it cheaper. Are you seriously this fucking retarded?
>>55321904
>>55321939
Fuck you im the original asker, and yea i really only consider it for that 4GB more vram, guess im waiting for Vega at the earliest
>>55321121
>>When will we get non-reference cards?
>Typically, within a couple of months of launch.
Is there any new information to suggest we might see a non-ref card sooner than a couple of months? People on leddit were saying they should come in 2 weeks - why don't we have any information from the actual companies, now that the NDA is over?
I need an upgrade from my integrated graphics but I don't want this shitty blower style cooler.

It's a gimped to fuck last generation card
You have to be fucking braindead to buy it now
You had to be pretty fucking stupid to buy it when the gimping was revealed in the first place.
so why has is it the same TDP as a gtx 970 on 28 nm?
it the 4 gig extra ram that much Watts?
>>55322011
>I'm in Sweden where the GTX 970 is about 50$ cheaper.
>>55322011
A brand new board partner 970/390 is cheaper than a reference 480 in the uk and a lot of places across Europe.
Try again.
>Card actually does beat the 980 because Nvidia didnt put proper DX12 support on Maxwell
And they say Novidya doesnt gimp cards
cant wait to find out what crippling issue Pascal has
>>55322037
>the uk and a lot of places across Europe
Why the hell cares?
Should I trade in my Fury X for triple RX480s? I'd have to get all new water blocks but that's no big deal.
>>55322023
>gimped
Then why does this 3.5 GB VRAM gimped card perform better than a new 2016, 14nm polaris 8 GB graphics card?
>>55322027
It performs better at 1080p for less money, that's why it's worth. The aftermarket 4GB cards will be less than the 8GB reference model. Aftermarket coolers = lower temps and more overclocking.
Fuck that man I'm still hype. I've been stuck on GCN 1.1 for 4 years I'm ready for my new 4.X card. Better than a shit as GTX 970 3.5 gb based on hardware specification alone AND less power hungry than a fucking 390. What's to complain about at 250. Ya did good Polaris 10 you made Tonga proud.
>>55322064
it's AMD that's why
is it worth getting this + an i5 4460?
right now i have a fucking pentium g3220 + r7 240 (2gb version), so i feel like i need a upgrade
>>55322050
>why the hell cares
Oh go back to your country pajeet, you're not American.
>>55322045
>cant wait to find out what crippling issue Pascal https://www.techpowerup.com/223669/geforce-gtx-pascal-faces-high-dvi-pixel-clock-booting-problems
so basically you're shooting yourself in the foot if you buy pascal and can't afford a decent monitor
>>55322083
You don't want Amd with a mid range cpu because cpu overhead.
>>55322083
How much is the 4460? I'd only get it if the price difference is considerably less than Skylake.
http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/AMD-Radeon-RX-480-Review-Polaris-Promise/Pricing-and-Closing-Thoughts
>The Radeon RX 480 is equal to or faster than the GeForce GTX 970 in every game but one, Grand Theft Auto V; and that title has some severe hitching and stutter that AMD was able to reproduce but doesn't have a fix for yet.
>In a couple of games, namely Hitman and Rise of the Tomb Raider, the advantage for the new RX 480 was substantial - as much as 40%! While I'm still not sold 100% on the idea that asynchronous compute is the culprit here (after all, even AMD has only mentioned that one of the DX12 titles we use here even implements it) it's hard to not see the DX12/DX11 split in the performance data.

>>55322050
...people that live there...
>>55322102
you're really nitpicking now
>>55322002
There have been launches when non-reference cards came out soon (or even immediately) after reference launch. We do not know that this will be the case this time, so it is best to assume that this will be a typical launch.
>>55322113
And the 1060 will have just as shitty DX12 performance.
>>55322144
considering the countless people happy with the fact that pascal have dvi on their ref cards i wouldn't say so
>>55322113
What the fuck is wrong with that Gears of War benchmark.
Holy shit!
>>55321974
The person I spoke to yesterday said they were putting them out over night. Showed up today and they were like "Oh no we're not putting them out till tomorrow."
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>55321265
The reference cooler of the 1080 hits 80c, just so you know.
>>55322160
Oh wait, I was retarded.
Its perf/$ stats.
>>55321331
Why does 1080 score the same as 1070? Is the benchmark capped or something?
>>55322157
Last time I checked $200 Korean 1440p 120hz are STILL the best bang for buck monitors.
You can't run dvi-d with Amd unless you buy a $100 active adapter.
>>55322173
It's 15% better than the 970 in that benchmark, you have a table on the bottom of the article.
>>55322178
No, the performance differences are just extremely minor due to the hardware limitations of current VR headsets.
>>55322178
Read the bottom numbers.
>>55322102
I mean something thatll debiliate the cards completely in the future
Just like it happened with Kepler
Just like its going to happen with Maxwell once DX12 is more popular
The Nvidiot tears are going to be delicious once Pascal's weakness is revealed, meanwhile the RX480 will go from gtx 970 to 980 performance and more overtime
>>55322178
Yes, even overclocking does nothing to that benchmark, my 980 ti scores 11 on that benchmark, but seeing as the titan x, and 1080/70 also do it, idk what to make of the results
>>55321266
>second hand 390/970 being cheaper.
I just checked EU sites and this is what I found:
>RX 480: 220 - 250€
>USED 970: 220€- 250€
>USED 390: 280 - 300€
So you are wrong. They are not cheaper and also USED. After the 770 I bought from ebay started having fan issues making me pay extra for a fan replacement I know the value of buying new vs used. Clearly you dont.
Also I bet if you wait for a few months the first second hand RX480s will hit online shops for sub 200€, so how the fuck can you justify spreading this bullshit information you fucking shill?

Glad that I'm not taking /g/ advice from buying the meme card.
I will hold on this 390 until HBM2 got released or more depend on how this card handle Vulkan and DX12 titles.
>>55322270
Correction, cheapest R9 390 is 270 euro. So it's the same price as the RX 480.
Sold my 280x. I think I fucked myself over. Now I don't know which card to get.
I've watched a dozen of reviews of the card and everyone recommended it.

Which is 17% to 26% higher than the stock clock speed of 1266Mhz on the reference RX 480 design.
He's literally trying to create hype so people are disappointed when this doesn't happen. Kyle is such a sad Nvidia shill

You fucking idiot basically prove that my statement above was right. You only took a different source with different prices but proving the same thing.
Also I was talking about the 480 4Gb version, which indeed can be bought for 219,00€
So what the fuck was the point of this post?
>>55322290
It's the industry standard tool.
>>55322295
Now you got me thinking.
Why spend $500 on two 170w rx480 when you can get the same performance with a single $380 140w 1070?
So neither of the big box stores in town have it, and there sold out online everywhere in the US.
And they said this launch would be better then the 1080.
>>55322359

seems to be any DX12 they do better in (all both of them, hopefully more coming though)
The 490 better be at least better than the 980 ti, if not I'm getting the 1070
>>55322378
The 8 GiB version is what the review sites are using. The 4 GiB version gives much lower FPS on 1080p and higher.

>>55322418

But as expensive or cheaper NEW than these older cards USED.
Again, wait for a few months and you will get it for less than 200€ used online.

Yes, but at that time it will be at least 30% cheaper than the 390 or 970 while being LESS than 30% worse.

>>55322411
It's not a preference. They're objectively better than Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI in terms of cooling, fan noise, and price.
