The GTX 1070 draws quite a bit more under load - various tech sites have already disproven NVIDIA's bullshit.
>>54903479
Ah, another video from the based Scotsman!
No, nope, nada, wrong.
480 uses at least minimum 150W under low load, up to 200W under gaming and more under stress tests, damage control AMD shills are pathetic

Dafuq, if this is true, amd will be the richist company in the world. They can only draw 150 w from the power supply, so if what you say is true, they can generate 50 w from nothing.

Nope. Actually what got a lot of review sites worried (including hardocp - kyle is just acting like a child about it) is the unspoken rule of "don't badmouth us without reason" within the gpu review circle was busted open when AMD openly refused kitguru a nano sample. Kyle then boasting about being rude as part of a conference call also earnt AMD's anger.
This has actually shaken a few things up behind the scenes as more than a few sites have realised AMD isn't going to place nice if you start talking shit about them for no reason.

I read that article, it was quite hilarious. He really drew it out to childish proportions, saying he instantly hung up when he heard something and then saying he knew about things only mentioned after he allegedly hung up.

To me the nano drama is part of AMD aggressively attempting to change its image - they no longer will take all the shit that goes with playing second fiddle of Intel and Nvidia that has been heaped upon them in years past and (in this case) tech sites are learning the hard way AMD is now playing to win.

But that's wrong. The PCIe slot + one six pin power connector = 150w. That means the rx 480 can only draw 150w maximum. That's what AMD means when they said it's 150w. Nvidia said that the 1070 is 150w because it draws 150w from its 8 pin power connector, plus 75w from the PCIe slot, for a total of 225w maximum power draw for the gtx 1070.

Games have to be coded to take advantage of that. A small minority of people have multi GPU set ups, I doubt that most devs will design their games for that. I bet at most, game devs will code their games to offload some tasks to the integrated Intel GPU almost everyone has, but who knows if that will scale well to two full sized graphics cards.
>>54905000
If you buy Nvidia you'll play the games maxed at 60+ fps from day one.

Wouldn't it be better to sell the 290X for $200 and then get RX480?
Seems like a no brainer to me. Even if equivalent, the temps/power should be low enough.
>>54906030
Problem is because the 480 is going to offer that sort of performance (if not better) who is going to want to buy a 290x for that money? The 480 is going to gut the used card market - since the announcement prices have already begun to fall as people try and cash out quick.

Impossible, dipshit. Only PCI-e and 6-pin connector
>>54908147
I think his estimates are off, too, but not that far. I'd wager it's something like ~110.
Factory overclocked cards from the other suppliers will throw that out the window though. Fully expecting those to be pushing 140+, if not more with an 8 pin instead of a 6 pin.

7870 m8, price/performance king
>>54908387
Early leaks did state 100-120watts, which puts it inline with the ~2.5x ppw increase. Add some frame rate limiting and some under volting and it would be very easy to drop that under 100 watts I think, or at least drag is down if it really is 150watts.
>Factory overclocked cards from the other suppliers will throw that out the window though.
I hope so. I sort of want to get one of these so I can play around with moderate overclocking or even under clocking again. My r9 290 was okay for that, but now I've moved into the city it really is does turn up the heat during summer inside my small room.
Just get a 1060 mate when they release.

I don't exactly agree with his opinion on the future naming convention

Polaris 11 (full): RX 475
Polaris 10: RX 480
Polaris 10 (full): RX 485
Vega: RX 490
Vega (full): RX 495
basically the "5" replacing "X"
the R7 series might be integrated into lower numbered RX series cards

Also the value point being, in early 2015, a few months before they went EOL and weeks before 3.5gate, the 290 dropped down to £210/$250 which made them a steal at the time.

>>54911615
>So is it worth to upgrade from 280X to this?
I only consider upgrades worth it when a card offers 2x performance of what you currently have. For a 280x you need anything of fury/fury x performance or higher.
>How would you think RX480 compares with 290X?
I would expect it to beat a 290x, but not by much all told.

Just because some retarded Nvidia fans think their cards are worth more than they are does not diminish the performance (or value) the 390 provides.
You should check places that sell used gpus - prices are already crashing due to the polaris annoucement. A lot of Nvidia cards that people were trying to sell for a lot of money are now becoming a lot cheaper (lel people trying to sell used 780's for what a 390 can be had for new).

People are retarded, and its not just little twerps like Kyle. Decently intelligent people like The Stilt have been spouting utterly baseless nonsense about Polaris for months now.
>if Polaris doesn't clock up to 1600mhz they can't compete!
I've seen this from a handful of people who actually went to school for EE. It couldn't possibly be further from the truth.
We know roughly were 36CU RX 480 performs, its right around the R9 390- 390X.
The 390 has 40CU enabled with a core clock at 1000mhz.
The 390X is a full 44CU die clocked slightly higher at 1050mhz.
The RX 480 is going to ship with a 1150mhz base clock and 1200mhz turbo. IPC uplift is the rest of whats responsible for bridge the performance gap there from lower ALU count.
Retards who keep saying this card is going to clock absurdly high are literally saying 4th gen GCN would have went backwards in IPC, and we know for a fact thats isn't the case.
1200mhz isn't slow, its faster than any stock GCN family card ever produced. And going by Polaris 11's 0.8375v vcore for an 850mhz clock I'd bet Vegas money that the RX 480 is barely touching 1v.

>>54915809
No you dipshit, I was saying it's possible for golden samples to reach that speed, and at that speed the 480 is roughly comparable to a stock 1070. Also that the power draw would be above 200w. I was basing these OC numbers on the very hopeful assumption that they clocked P10 like they clocked early Pitcairn.
We have bench reaults of a 1266/8000 Mhz chip. For you to call others retarded, then ignore the evidence and say its going to be 1150/1200, now that is stupid.

Wow, you retards sure do get defensive. You showed up out of the blue to defend yourself while being totally anonymous.
AMD stated 5.2TFLOPS all day long during their Computex spot.
The official spec slide for the RX 480 listed ">5" for TFLOPS
An internal slide stated "up to 5.5TFLOPS.
Each of those figures correlates to the clocks listed. They never mentioned 5.8 anywhere which is what a 1266mhz core clock equates to.
You're that same spastic /v/tard child who was stated that the RX 480 only had 2048 ALUs, blissfully ignorant of any and all facts publicly available. Just prancing about as the ignorant ninny you are. You didn't even watch the presentation, you just run your mouth in typical tech illiterate retard fashion.
