>>54703284
>Not even Fury level performance.
What a disappointment.
IT'S OVER, AYYMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
>>54703653
those are mid range cards
>>54703284
>6% above a stock 390X
This is fucking disgusting if the results are real.
They're mid-range though, so can't expect much and the numbers are fairly plausible. Looks like I'm getting ripped off by NVIDIA to get 1080 SLI for 4K.
>>54703284
let's hope 490x is 1.6ghz
>>54703764
$700 vs $250 hmmm
>>54703814
490X will be Vega 10, which doesn't get released before October.
AMD literally have nothing to compete with Nvidia's new offerings.
>>54703284
>base 480 can't even match a 390X
>BASED 1060 will match a 980
>BASED 1060 can be overclocked like the 1080
>performance disparity grows
I think it's safe to call this generation a win for Nvidia. The overclockability of Pascal has sealed the deal.
>>54703653
What a retard. Fury x performance( -8%) for 30% of the price.
>>54703764
Disgusting you would believe that they were comparable to a 1080 in the first place. At stock it's a 390 that overclocks, uses much less power and cheaper.
>>54703843
nobody sane buys $700 cards every year
and those that do do not make profit for companies
>>54703829
Smooth 60 FPS vs. shit performance
I'd love not to pay NVIDIA $1200-1400+ for 2 1080s, I really would, but buying AMD and not being able to play shit doesn't actually help me in any way. I already have 2 290Xs and I want an actual upgrade, not the same crap. It doesn't matter how cheap their shit is if it's not even an upgrade from my 2013 cards.
>>54703867
>Disgusting you would believe that they were comparable to a 1080 in the first place
I don't see where you're getting that, I never said that. I was hoping they would at least be around Fury X level, not 2013-tier.
>>54703911
my job is to warn you: SLI/CF is shit for any modern game and scales terribly all other problems like support aside
>>54703911
Obvious troll is obvious.
>>54703284
Looks good, might pick up a 480 when it lands, depending on how the lower cards look. I don't game often enough to justify medium range cards.
>>54703911
>at least be around Fury X level, not 2013-tier.
yeah, why is 1060 is not even 970 level then?
>>54703964
Because it's 980 level. 980 > 970, moron.
>>54703964
It's okay when NVIDIA does it.
Are gpu wars the new console wars?
>>54703999
Likely
>>54703284
Are those the definitive clock speeds or will the cards you can buy be clocked higher?
>>54703949
You don't need to warn me, as I've said I'm already running CF and know exactly what to expect.
>>54703964
1060 isn't something you can buy at this point and I don't particularly care about it, since I'm looking for better performance anyway.
>>54703999
Except Nvidia wins everytime.
>>54704018
Nobody knows.
>>54704039
If they're clocked at 1337 MHz I'm buying one.
>>54703949
No, stop being wrong anon. I can only say some devs aren't supporting it in some AAA titles. Even when not super optimized, sli/cf can still get you about 50-70% more frames. I don't know any game so far to get literally double the performance. I think sli works well with top tier cards and second tier cards
>>54704109
is this some advanced meme clock?
usually it's at least 10% overclock for proper brands if chip allows it, so probably
>check catalog for this thread
>search "polaris"
>doesn't come up
>audibly sigh
>ctrl f start typing "nvidia is f"
>oh there it is
>>54704032
AMD won last gen. 900 series lost in nearly every tiered card except for the 980ti(the only card worth buying). I mean, how do you determine who wins anyway? For me, it's literally performance for each of the available price points and which comes out with more performaning cards.
>>54704167
I know it gets me erect too.
>>54704124
He's not entirely wrong and the degree depends on whether you're referring to SLI or CF. I don't have SLI but as a CF user I can tell you that it has been fucking awful for 1.5-2 years now.
CF in theory works wonderfully and there are some games where it's amazing. Problem is that it requires specific software (driver) support for each individual game most of the time and AMD has been utter shit in that regard for a long time now.
>>54704176
>how do you determine who wins anyway?
The one who sells more cards wins.
Nvidia had a landslide victory. AMD will never be able to catch up with such bullshit offerings.
>>54703284

>>54704208
Oh.. I just buy the best performing card for the price at any given time. Most have been Nvidia cards but for this gen, amd just had slightly better performance in each tier except of course the ti. The 970s 3.5gb bs pissed me off too especially for new games using memory more often these days. Even gta 5 exceeds it at only 1080p. Anyway, I honestly hope amd does good this time around. If they fuck up, I feel like they're just going to sell the company to someone else.
>>54704254
My nigga
>>54704195
Yea I guess. I've only used sli personally and I think it's great if you plan on watercooling and so on. Too much noise and heat in multi card configurations. Even a kraken g10 would do if a custom loop is out of the question. As for the games, on Valley benchmark I was getting like 45-47 fps on a gtx 770. When I got another, the fps was 78-81. Unfortunately not all games support it like fallout 4(lame ass game btw).

He's right, though. 290x -> 490x isn't worth it
>tfw summer
>still using a 290
I'm going to sweat a lot during summer gaming sessions. How does this new card compare in terms of heat?
>>54705123
TDP will be much lower, although the 1080 only has a 180W TDP and is a fucking Fermi-grade housefire.
seems decent but not good enough to 'upgrade' from a 290 to 480x. will probably wait for 490
I wonder if AMD is purposely releasing their cards 2 quarters later than Nvidia or if it's just bad planning

Just turn off the SSAA.
Even a 390/980 can run any game on "1440p" high or 4k medium settings.
Anyone saying a 1080 is not enough for "1440p" or 4k is a poorfag trying to justify why he is still playing on a 1080p monitor.

>>54710960
If the highest SKU Polaris (call it the 480x) trounces the 970 in performance and comes up a little short of the 1070 (MSRP $379) shouldn't it be priced right about there? The 970 has been shilled as the low end of "VR Ready" and the ones with good coolers have pretty much hovered between $300-$350 for the past year and a half.
My point is that it's been pretty widely accepted that $300-$350 is the minimum you should have to fork over to be VR Ready. If big Polaris 10 is $50 less than the 1070 and offers proportionally more performance/$ then it may actually be priced correctly at $329. Those are slides are a few months old now, so who knows.
>>54709966
how about waiting for polaris and not buying 3.5 memes

They better suck some tech journalist cock or else the Polaris 10 will be compared to the 1070 as if they were the same price.

1060 will be in a significantly lower price and performance bracket
>>54711221
super sampling antia alias
>>54711225
Some simple math would show that the 1070 is going to slot in right around 980 ti performance. This is worse than 480x CF by quite a bit. Just look at the graph.

Doubt it, 1060 will be approximately 970 preformance (come on, 1070 is at just below 980Ti level), and small Polaris 10 is only just above 970

So? The 1070 is going to be $370 and stronger than the 980Ti, this AMD can can't even compete with the Fury let alone the 980Ti.
What is AMD going to do, price it at $300?
Nvidia still has the 1060 or even the 1060ti, 1060ti to compete against the Fury X and the 1060 to compete against the 980.
Would Polaris or Pascal be better for emulation?
I don't play PC games really, just emulate.
I have a 7850 but I feel the need to upgrade.

professional software like CAD and 3DCG all use openGL exclusively, and AMD cards dominate those markets.
Also, _everything_ is moving from OpenGL to Vulkan (you know, the standard replacing openGL?) and nVidia can't even remotely compete on Vulkan so far.

Since 2013 AMD still has yet to fix all those issues.
And no, Emuatlors aren't moving to Vulkan, They are going with DirectX 12 and even then its only an experimental build and it will take years for it to become the default rendered.
Shill your shit company somewhere else, you're not tricking anybody here.

[cutation needed]
literally everything openGL is moving to Vulkan
openGL won't be developed anymore.
it's being deprecated and replaced, 1:1
Vulkan is just "opengl version 2016" and nVidia can't hack it, they will be stuck using opengl 2.0 forever.

>>54712261
>Vulkan isn't replacing Opengl and it never was meant to replace Opengl.
Vulkan will be implementing a direct openGL compatibility layer in future releases, you can find this in the khronos doc. In order to run programs built for openGL without porting them to Vulkan.
There will not be new versions of openGL once Vulkan contains 100% of the API. Only opengl ES (for mobile), plus compatibility patches for old software which depends on undefined behavior in the API.
openGL is _already_ not recommended for new projects.
>>54712361
Sigh, you're retarded aren't you.
OpenGL won't be removed it won't be replaced otherwise everything would stop working also developers who are already experienced with Opengl would need to learn Vulkan.
Not everyone needs the performance from Vulkan specially at the expenses of having to deal with overengineering software.
>>54712327
I don't doubt it but it really doesn't matter. There are such huge limiting returns to ramping up textures in PCSX2 that if you have a GPU post 2011 you can up the resolution to well beyond native PS2 (640x480 I think? kek) on any potato-AMD card and have acceptable results, at least in Windows.

Why is OpenGL praised so much? The latest version of the DX11 Hardware plugin is excellent. I play PCSX2 all the time with my AMD card and usually upscale 4 or 5x native.

When does Polaris launch again?
>>54712597
mid october
>>54712597
Paper launch some time next week during Computex.
>>54712625
Nah senpai, that's Vega. Polaris chips will probably show up this summer some time.

June 13th
>>54712625
that's vega not polaris, AMD are making an official announcement on june 1st.
>>54712643
Wait, there's two different lines coming out? I've never really given AMD the time of day so this is all new to me.
>>54709727
>he doesn't know what "max" even means
>>54712654
What you heard about October was the Vega release getting pushed up. That's the one that's supposed to have HBM2, but not sure I believe it since HBM2 was supposedly not going to be ready until Q1 '17 at the earliest.
>>54711872
why dont these faggots turn down settings for benchmarks?
Knowing that The Witcher 3 gets 45fps at 4k with Hairworks on with all the sliders on Ultra doesnt mean a fucking thing when I'm going to turn hairworks off, half the post processing off, and turn foliage distance to high
>>54712517
only razer goys buy jewvidia
>>54712694
the faggots asked for all settings to highest as possible and he delivered
of course you will get better performance when you fine tune msaa, shadows hairworks etc
>>54711638
nice memes
>>54712551
Accuracy, at some point the DX11 renderer was better but right now OpenGL is better unless you fell for the AMD meme.
>>>/vg/143091990
>>54712726
yeah, but they should offer both
like, max it out for the total benchmark
then say, hey, if you're actually going to play the fucking game here's what you'll need for 60fps

VR is pretty nifty for non-gaming applications. One of my company's clients has a VR station set up so you can see and interact with buildings and their layout
So what do I buy near the end of the year to upgrade from a 280x? Do I ever need to overclock my CPU if I just upgrade my GPU instead?
>>54712758
Better how exactly? I'm going to go to that thread and ask. Never had a problem emulating PCSX2 as soon as I had a CPU powerful enough to handle it and I've always fallen for the AMD meme.
>>54712916
You should probably ask in that thread about Gregors greatness.
>>54712899
If your stuff is CPU- intensive, then overclock. If it's GPU intensive, better GPU.
>should I play with engine compression or upgrade my shocks?
Improve your limiting factor.

Fuck the GPUs their new CPU is where its at

>>54712999
they need both, obviously, but you'll always be much better off with
cheap CPU, expensive GPU
than the opposite.
>>54712999

Any performance information on Polaris 11 yet?
380X performance for 250 AUD would be gnarly.

I think they're talking about the 390/FURY
>>54713264
I have nvidia and just disappointed with pascal so far, we're getting the clash we wanted.
Radeon had an edge five years ago during the Fermi era then AMD closed in for the merger. Higher risk and this is their poker shot right now, nvidia is relying on their embedded influence just like intel
>>54713281
Yeah only 4k matters, no sarcasm

Love the /g/'s autism.
>>54709811
Most of us are at 144hz too and want solid 100+ frames on max. Nothing does this besides multiple cards need some real flagships.

>Just compromise, even though you shilled out for the top of the line GPU
Whatever helps you sleep.
>>54712765
>Here's how you compromise to make it feel like you didn't quite waste $700
Let me know when a GPU can actually *max* out the settings, thanks.
inb4 it doesnt look that much better, $700 doesnt make my bank account feel that much worse than $500, but i want that extra $200 worth of GPU
>>54704032
Sony wins everytime :^)
Honestly thinking of selling my R9 Fury for a 1080.
>>54703284
Amd still exists?
>>54714124
but it's not really $200 worth of gpu it's pure diminishing returns like audiophile headphones
>>54714234
but at what price is the diminishing returrn of gpus? $300?
>>54714456
3-4 desu senpai
>>54703653
No one was expecting Fury level performance. Not a single credible rumors site. Polaris isn't a flagship. Vega will be the flagship. We were expecting 390 level performance from Polaris and that's what we got. If Polaris 10 is priced at $299 and delivers R9 390 performance it'll be equally good value to the GTX 1070. If it costs less than $299 it'll be better value.>>> 379.0/299.0 # price ratio
1.2675585284280937
>>> 6.5/5.1 # performance ratio (FP32)

Only flagships currently run 4k decently (titan series). Stable 60fps is possible, besides you cant compare high refresh with lower resolution, doesn't make sense.
>4k resolution is marketing
>1440p gsync is gaming
Like >>54714757 said, vega is calibrated to converge on gp100 next year, transition
Wishful 4k 120hz when you cant buy 60hz now afaik we'll be on 8k 60hz 40 inch under 15ms latency
>>54709574
wait, be patient, we don't know how well you can overclock this thing
if it goes into ~1.6ghz realm it's going to be fury x level
>>54707199
This could be your best friend. Or just get speedfan/afterburner and create your own custom fancurve.
>>54715604
How is that heatsink named?

Okay, so first you said that Vulkan is replacing OpenGL, now you directly contradict yourself by saying there'll be a "compatibility layer" for supporting OpenGL through Vulkan.
Those are not equivalent statements.
>>54703284
I got my 980 for £300 though. How is this new polaris card that is selling for £250 even worth an upgrade and why do people keep telling me to upgrade a 980 to polaris
I'd rather get a 1070 for the titan x performance. It seems amd have messed up their pricing once again.
>>54712242
>last updated: March 2014
>>54711105
>the shit has trouble maintaining its boost are you just retarded
Are you? It only does that when you use the default quiet fan preset which comes with the card. A simple custom fan curve makes everthing normal again. Adoredtv didn't tell you that did he?
Lmao how desperate must that guy be when he makes videos about a card not boosting (free auto overclock) as much as it can because of a fan preset. Oh man he must cry himself to sleep knowing amd have no chance once again :')
>>54716577
Polaris is priced very well if the rumors are right (more like 200 gbp if the rumors are to be believed.) Nonetheless it is not an upgrade from the 980 (it would be more of a sidegrade,) so you have no reason to buy a Polaris card.

Never forget AYYMD is in all the consoles and are shipping vast numbers of gpu's/APU's
This means devs will developer for AMD graphics first and with vulkan NVIDIA's software advantages is finished.
Where were you when the americans outplayed the jews at their own game?
>>54716644
You do know that Nvidia have contributed more to vulkan than amd have, right? Amd gave a small amount of mantle code and that's been it. Nvidia have a dedicated vulkan team and they're marketing the hell out of vulkan eg they showed doom running on vulkan except dx12 at the reveal event.
>>54703764
Good goy
>>54716675
>AMD gave a small amount of mantle code
They literally donated mantle and the spec free of patent or copyright issues, that's more than just a little.
Also it does not suprise me the goyim at NVIDIA are panicing. AYYMD has them over the barrel by simply dominating the market that sells the most GPU's by unit.
Why do you think AYYMD's stock has been going up over the last year or so?
>>54703864
8/8 b8 m8
>>54716704
especially the jump in april, the stock market finally noticed amd had outmaneuvered nvidia and owned the console market completely.

>>54716675
Vulkan is literally Mantle with some lipstick on it. It's no coincidence both APIs use similar themed names.
