Might as well just get a used GTX970 or 480 then.

I think everyone was expecting the 970 to step in the footsteps of the 970. But the 970 was 320€ at launch. The 1070 will never sell like the 970 did.

Stop spreading that bullshit around, Nvidia shill.

The RX 480 will have Fury (Non-X) level performance @ 100 W and crazy OC headroom.

>>54992126
Yeah, I'm not sure it's worth upgrading.

I just wish there was something a little bit better than the 280x for a decent price on the nvidia side.

Somone put together all the AoS benchmarks and AMD infos we got. And the 480 performs slower than a 390 and even 290x in that game at the same settings AMD used for their presentation.

Odc there are also the "leaked" benchmarks from 3dmark which put them in 980 region, but these can't be really trusted.

My guess is that it will be pretty much GTX970 performance.

480 is gonna be very similar in price range anyway. Just go for the new tech. And if you want to upgrade in the future you just get another one.

80% of the market plays at 1080p and buys cards for between $100-300.

1070 costs well above that range. It's actually nvidia that's gonna have to adjust their prices.

Well, the 290X is 15% faster than the 480 in AoS.
Also a GTX970 is just 13% slower than the 480 in a game that performas MUCH better on AMD cards.

That's why I say it will be slightly slower than a 390. Mark my words man

Well this is blatantly false due to the fact the 970 was the most dominant card last gen and had an msrp of over $300.

You people can deny it all you want but everyone knows the new x70 series by nvidia will dominate. Amd are crazy not have a 1070 competitor. For them to release the cheaper cards is all fine but they need a 1070 competitor at least because it's the price bracket which sells the most. The 970 and the 390 to a much lesser extent were by far the most popular and best selling gpus last gen and both were launched with prices exceeding $300.

In bongland the 1070 is set to be £500 which is nearly twice what the Americans pay.

Disregard nvidia shills about 480 being slower than 390. There is no exact same configurations in AOTS with 480 or other cards to compare (game version, cpu, settings). DX11 bench shows performance levels of 980. Same with 3DMark scores.

It clearly shows it doesn't. The 970 won't be the most gpu if the majority of the people spend lower than $300. If anything they look for the $300-$400 cards because they're the ones which offer the best price/performance. The 390 was $329 msrp at release too.

You have to keep in mind that AMD would only release results where their new card performs very well. If you are now saying that the drivers aren't optimized yet and what not you are just lying to yourself. Just face it, the RX480 will absolutely not fulfill the expectations, just like the 1070 is not fulfilling them.

>>54992539

For the last fucking time, the test was NOT crossfire. It was dx12's native multi GPU support. If you crossfire the 480, you won't get as much performance as dx12's native multi GPU support.

Import fees will kill it.
The RX 480 pricing are:
4GB $199.99 USD
8GB $249.99 USD

so essentially $200 USD and $250 USD in the states, pre-tax.
In the EU I can only imagine what VAT and import tariffs will do.

Kill yourself.
In the last 4-5 years Nvidia upped the price of high end from $500 to $700 or more. Now they are upping the price of midrange from $250 to $380.
It's prime jewery and we are actually getting smaller performance improvements compared to previous generation than in the old days.

380x would be good enough for 1080p on high end graphics, if you aren't looking for 10000 fps, and some titles for 1440p.

You are a fucking idiot who has no business commenting on anything other than what videogame you played this weekend.

The dollar is strong right now. Something like .88-1.

The c series(or whatever) is different from us to eu. Different engines, trim levels, and options. It's sold as a premium brand, and the fit and finish reflect that. The entry BMW or MB in the EU is more like a Ford Taurus over here. That's one reason for the price disparity.

this generation should be skipped, nvidia cards are grossly overpriced in europe and amd cards have lower performance than previous generation. just gonna keep my 670gtx and wait for generation of cards where i can buy x60 type card with hbm2 memory.

This. I really wanted a 1070 and was even willing to pay €400 but paying €500 is like getting fucked in the ass. I got no money problems but I am not willing to pay a €150 premium from the previous generation.
It seems to me more cost effective to upgrade my 560ti with a RX480 and look for another upgrade 2-3 years down the line.

Clocks confirmed to be 1266mhz; 5.8 teraflops
390 gets 5.1

12% regression per core per clock to match 390
1% improvement pcpc to match 390X

You can get a decent non-reference 1080 if you're not a brand whore who needs Asus' or MSI's dick up their ass to breathe properly. KFA2's EXOC model is £85/€109 cheaper than a FE in the UK. Their 970 EXOC reviewed very well.

Speaking of terrible region pricing, are there any sites in UK that sell at UK prices. Only overclockers seems to have decent EU prices for EU brands.

Found a kfa2 1080 for £520 and a bunch of weird german brands which have the performance but low cost, and MSI has a 1080 for £550, both reference models though..

Does any game with GameWorks actively gimp performance on AMD cards? I keep hearing conflicting reports, and while I probably could just turn off any GameWorks features, I'd like to get the answer pinned down now.
>>
>>55000115
No

They're good for small cases and SLI mostly.

But the fact they cost more puts a lot of people off, but the custom ones seem to be the same price anyway, not $100 less...So...
>>
>>55000248
The DX11 tessellation spec calls for a maximum of 64x. They expected 64x to never really be used in games when drafting the spec.

Large numbers of gameworks games now use 64x tessellation, in idiotic things such as Fallout 4's godrays, or Witcher 3's fur effects, both of which are nearly indistinguishable when going from 16x to 64x.

It got to the point where AMD put in a maximum allowed tessellation slider in their driver control panel.
>>
>>55000255
So conflicted. Now I dunno whether to wait or just get the Founder's Edition now.

You can't turn off gameworks anything, that would be like turning off DirectX off.

All the AMD performance panics come out of things that affect BOTH brands (Witcher 3's hairworks brutal performance costs) or sheer AMD retardedness (drivers not being ready for Project Cars/Fallout 4 and later corrected.)

Tessellation shit just comes from AMD tendency to go as high as it can possibly go, hence why they let you turn it down.

AMD buyers just spout that shit because they need an excuse as to why their supposedly superior hardware runs shit worse (in reality being because AMD has a tendency to offload work onto the CPU.)
>>
>GTX1070 will cost 500€ in Europe
If this is true then I guess I'm happy I didn't sell off my 970 a few weeks before the unveiling like I planned to. I bought the damn thing second hand last September for 300€ and could have sold it for about that in early May.
>>

>>
>>55000674
AMD had to add in a direct driver override to disable excessive tessellation like that.

What's funny is that as older Nvidia cards aren't as capable in Tessellation in the newer ones, but Nvidia doesn't have the overrides, they end up hurting the performance of their older cards far more than it'd hurt any AMD owners.
>>
>>55000708
Huh, cool.

Cause I'm looking at an RX 480 (won't make a decision until proper benchmarks because I'm not a retard), but I heard a lot of hearsay about nVidia specifically fucking over AMD cards through proprietary software and shit. I'm glad AMD worked in a way to disable bullshit shenanigans like that, I guess. I'm not the kind of person that needs to play on 4K@144Hz on Ultra to enjoy a game, so hopefully like Very High/Ultra on 1080p@60 should be easy enough to handle.
>>
>>55000751
yeah, they still have some bullshit though

Fallout 4, if you disable the godrays from the settings menu, it also disables SSAO, despite them being entirely unrelated.

>AMD has a tendency to offload work onto the CPU.

this is the exact opposite of what happens.
Nvidia dropped their hardware scheduler (in favor of shaders being statically scheduled in the host driver) after Fermi to save power, whereas GCN is more designed for GPGPU stuff.

the diffrence between nvidia and amd graphics are that nvidia has better effects proccessing and better render quality,period.
amd can offer decent frae rate but has shitty driver updates that punish people with older cards.and fucking sucks at tessilation,and runs hot as the sun.BUT amd can handle high resolutions well.

so go invidia if you like better looking game.
go amd if you really want nothing better because everything can hadle 1080 p.
