Why nvidia going on damage control mode?

The rx 480 is meant to compete with the 1060 not the 1070.

Also they are contradicting themselves.

Back when the Titan Z released nvidiots were having a fucking hard-on for multi gpu stuff until they realized how horribly bad nvidia's gpu's scale in SLI, even today, with a double SLI bridge.


Also stop with the misinformation about everything, samsung's LPE is shit compared to TSMC's 16nm-whatever but samsungs LPP process is way better than TSMC's shit.


Why are nvidiots arguing about perf. per dollar when they never had any nvida product that was good at that, they always came with a catch like 3.5 or a 128 bus width.

Misinformation is the worst kind of arguments you can use, only Israel uses it.

Max TDP does not equal its actual power draw. The fact that AMD says 2 480s in mGPU are "more efficient" than the 1080 could mean that in total both cards are actually drawing under 180W on load.

But you're probably too stupid to understand any of this and you'll just respond with memes.
>>
I don't get the point of this card

Is it just for VR purposes cheaply, somehow improving VR performance from AMD?

'Cuz for me, You can get a gpu that's around the presumed cost of a 480 that will perform just as good for most mid level gaming anyway, even then most of the low end gpus are spent playing CPU heavy games like LoL and CSGO etc.


So what's the point? VR? Getting 5-10 fps over a 970?

This is literally how it works anywhere outside of America..

Original price + VAT + Bullshit "import tax" and that's the end result. Not even mentioning times when they consider $1 to be £1 or when they uses excuses like "Lol ur country is richer on average therefore u can afford to pay more xD"


1080 is supposed to be $600, which means £414, but the end result in stores is £620.

Even if you add on the 20% tax to $600 it comes to £500, not £620. Sure they will maybe lower the price in future but that's what it is for now.


So when 480 comes out if it follows the same typical trend of dumb pricing, I just don't see why it should exist, however if it somehow has no import taxed bullshit prices it might work out and be better than a 970 realistically. The gap between the 970 and 980 is huge but the performance is like 5fps


I guess it could take the place of a 970 or be better for VR, but if you're spending $600+ on a VR kit you might wanna reconsider why the fuck your VR headset costs as much as the majority of your pc, rather than just spending a bit more and getting 2x the performance by buying a 1070

480 isn't supposed to be a direct competition to the 1080.

Basically, the market that plays csgo, dota2, league and other shit.
Nvidia is trying to grab the enthusiast market with the 1080 and 1070 while amd wants to grab the general market.
I personally like Nvidia because I want all power i can get, but most people just want a cheep card that can run shit.
Yeah, the 1080 is faster, but it's $600, while the 480 is slower, but still high end (comparatively) at a much lower price.

1070 will he really popular, no doubt, I plan on getting it for my next build, but having the 480 priced at $199 is really competitive and it really shows the market amd wants to get into, the general console/csgo shitter.
We're all have to see the actual performance of the 480 first to really tell whether or not it will be successful, otherwise, all the shilling is based on speculation.
If amd can snatch up the general consumer market with a cheep, "vr ready" (we will see) gpu, your average Joe is going to eat that shit up, but to a guy who had a 980ti or a titan, and they are moving up to the new 1080/1070, they aren't going to really care, mainly because it's not really marketed towards them, judging by the price.
>>
>>54999877

$200 will be the cheap card, and the $250 (8gb version) +tax will be around $300.

The same price as a 970.

Sure it might be better for vr and give a small fps boost but if your vr headset is $600 and your gpu is $200 you've made a huge mistake.


Could fit nicely between 970 and 980 though, I guess..

First off, we still have to see real world benchmarks.
Nvidia decided to go "oh look, 1080 is running at like, 50°c" when in rality it actually has some thermal throttling issues.
Secondly, I'm talking about its pricing compared to the 1080-1070
It does look like the 1070 will sell well (I plan on buying it), but that's mainly coming from people who currently own a 970, all the way up to a titan
Your average consumer isn't going to want to but a $400-$500 gpu
The 1070 may outsell the 480 in the enthusiast grade market, but consumer wise, the might be able to pull in your average console gamer who wants to get into pc gaming or your general csgo/league player who wants to upgrade without breaking the bank.

Bullshit. You raised a point about:
>snatch up the general consumer market
One part of that involves the pricing compared to the 1080-1070 but it is not limited merely to pricing unless you want to ignore, or cherry-pick around, historic data.

>Your average consumer isn't going to want to but a $400-$500 gpu
It seems you are determined to ignore historic data which is why I brought up the previous point about the 970 being the best seller last generation. It is clear based upon the 970 being the best seller that the average consumer _is_ going to want a $400 gpu.

>>55000056
>Wouldn't this require outselling the 1070? Don't all current indicators point to this not happening?

The research shows the biggest chunk of people don't want to spend more than $300 on a graphics card. Nvidia knows the 1070 is pushing the upper limits of what the average chad is going to spend on a graphics card with the 1070 but the card is good enough to attract budget conscious enthusiasts that might be on aging platforms like old Titans, 7970s, 780 ti's etc while also being a significant upgrade. Plus they're offloading defective 1080s so it's all gravy. The 1070 is going to be a successful card, no doubt.

The 970 was a very popular card at $330 but there's an entire chunk of people using aging midrange and budget GPUs that can and will pony up $200 for a clear upgrade. That's where the 480 comes in. A card for the masses that will bring ultra settings and high refresh rates at 1080p under $200.

Honestly the 1070 and the 480 both seem like awesome cards depending on the individual budget and display. This is a good time to need a GPU.

It doesn't, if you're referring to that jayztwocents video, go watch it back and look at his fans speeds. Low fan speeds and high temp = stupid.

If you watch a video from someone who isn't using retarded settings you'll see the GPU can run at 100% usage at around 75c.

Source? I know I'm mainly going off of Steam's statistics that show the 970 as being the best selling of last generation but it does seem to be a rather damning bit of information if an accurate representation.

>there's an entire chunk of people using aging midrange and budget GPUs

The 970's MSRP was $330, genius.
And it sold as well as it did due to the 980 selling for $550, the next cheaper card (960 at $200) being shit, and AMD doing mostly rebrands.

The $200-$300 market is a lot healthier than the $300-$400 one, so it's in the majority of consumers' interest that better competition exist in that segment.

As far as I can see, it is selling well because it hit the right price point for the market. I just don't see people who will spend $500 for a CPU, $150-200 for a MB, or $600-800 for a VR headset (that really strikes me as a retarded sales pitch) is going to hold back on spending $400 on a GPU.
>>
>>55000276
I think a good reason that the 970 sold well was because there were almost no good cards in the $200 range.
Everything was $300 or so, unless you wanted to stick with a 750 ti (still a good card btw)
970 was the only decently priced card on the market at the time.

For the enthusiast segment, the people that spend $500 on a brand new top tier GPU, those cards are pretty fucking old man. I was talking about the first Titan of course, which is now over 3 years old. Not that they are bad or anything, but in the eyes of people that spend big money on graphics cards they may be looking forward to the 1080 and 1070 (or Vega) as logical upgrades depending on how demanding they are as a consumer. I mean come on, the 780 ti has 3 GB of VRAM. That's less than my cheap ass 380 and certainly not enough juice for 4K/VR.

>>55000387
The 970 was the best selling card but it's still only like 5% of the entire user base. The vast majority of people that are actually playing games on their PC have a far worse GPU than the 970 and far, far worse GPU than the 1070. I'm not straw manning.

Judging by how little people use the 960, and how many people dislike it.
750ti is on the same level as the 960 in terms of use, there is a 2% increase in use of the 970.
The 960 was an okay card, but it was relitively crap and sacrificed a lot of features to get it down to the $200 range
>>
>>55000588
Didn't most people buy the 970 because there were no other cards good enough for the price range?
960 had plenty of flaws and the amd cards were expensive.
The best bet was a 750ti or a 970.
Nvidia had no competition for the 970 and a lot of people bought the 970 because they didn't want to spend more than they had.
>>
>>55000604
Well then let's try to distill the point a little more clearly. You are arguing that because there were not any good options people choose to pry almost twice the amount of money to buy the 970? This time because there is a better option than last time people will not still pry almost twice the amount (60% more) of money to buy the 1070?

Why would you pry twice the amount when there is an actual competing card?
Only reason I went for a 970 is because there was nothing else to get at a decent price.
Now that there is a cheer $200 card that (hopefully) isn't crap, don't you think that people might consider buying it?
The 390 (the only direct competition to the 970) costed almost $400, the same as a 970, but had less performance.

970 only sold well because of very aggressive marketing. Even after the 3.5GB debacle they made sure most of the hardware press kept quiet about it and just paid enough poolinoos to spam "I don't need more than 3.5GB anyway" in all social media.
>>
>>55000588
>Should we not project the coming trend based upon the past trend?

I think that's a simplistic approach. I don't think AMD had any direct answer to the 970 last generation. It delivered 290x like performance for way cheaper than AMD ever wanted to price Hawaii GPUs. The eventual 390 with its 8 GB came out way later and was just on par with it while still being less power efficient.

If you want to argue that the 1070 will sell more units than 480s based on its name alone and past market trends then you may end up being right since more people seem comfortable buying Nvidia than AMD, but that doesn't mean that AMD won't sell "enough" 480s to get them back in the game with mainstream users.

What is your definition of "competing?" I hope it is not something that is analogous in price-performance to arguing that the 960 was "competing" with the 970.

I'm sure there are some people who are like you would be happy to buy a mediocre cheap gpu. But does that extend to most people? I believe most people would get the best video card they can afford regardless of brand. Isn't that what is generally suggested on /g/?

To elaborate, the 480 should possibly be a $199 card that should fit snugly between the 970-980, making it appealing for consolefags and average Joe's, which in turn can pull them into buying the gpu.
Consolefags will fight over a fucking $50 price difference between the two consoles, you don't think they will buy a card that's $200 cheaper?
From what I see, amd is marketed towards your normal consumer, who tries to spend the least amount of money and get the most for it.

>>55000770
>What is the 390/x?
Those came way too late and were just Hawaii rebrands anyway. The 970 had already kicked AMD's ass six ways to Sunday during the 290/290x days before they had to rebrand the 200 series to 300 due to no 20nm node availability.

There is a big difference
And secondly, a big reason most average joes bought the 970 was because it was basically the only good price to performance card on the market, compared to the 750ti
A big reason not a lot of people bought a 380-390 is because it basically costed the same as a 980, and not a lot of people wanted to shell out $100 more for a 980

Actually, the 750 Ti and 960 outsold the 970, and continue to outsell it. Sure, they're two different cards, but they both target the same segment of the market-- the same segment that the 480 targets.

>>55001403
The 750Ti and 960 are both Maxwell. You know that, right? It's part of why the value they offer is so similar. The 960 is the direct replacement for the 750Ti, and despite being released AFTER the 970. It's not even a question that if people who own a 750Ti were in the market for a new card last year when the 960 was launched, they'd have bought a 960-- it's a fact. And right now, the 480 is looking MIGHTY compelling to NOT ONLY that 6% of the market, but ALSO anyone else who has a card that's slower, but hasn't been able to justify spending over $150 to get a card that might only perform 30% better relative to what they already have. Unless Nvidia release a 1060 with value as compelling as the 480, AMD will own the mainstream market.
>>
>>55001472
All I'm saying is that amd is trying to grab the people using gpus in the ~$200-$100 range
It may or may not make the people using cards less than $200 want to upgrade, but the way they priced the 480 makes it seem like they want to give them a reason to.
Basically, they want to give the people that want an upgrade, but don't want to spend anymore than $200, since there are a lot of people sticking with gpus that cost $200 or less. They either don't see a reason to upgrade or don't see a price low enough to buy a new gpu at, that's why the 960, 750ti, and other gpus under 200 are still so widely used, because for some that's the max they are willing to pay. If you use words like "vr ready" the general consumer is going to think "wow, then it must be powerful" and possibly be enticed.

>The 750Ti and 960 are both Maxwell.
Yes, the 750 was the first Maxwell card and the last of the 700 series. It was a popular card when it went on sale eight months before the 970 was launched. The point still remains. How many of those who bought a gpu in those eight months affects the comparison that includes both the 960 and the 750ti when compared to the sales of the 970. If we cannot account for those numbers we cannot compare the sales of the 750 ti in comparison to sales of 970s.

Might I suggest you "just say it" in a post without linking another anon's post? It is only fair to expect that what you are "just saying" is materially relevant to the post you link to.

>>55001541
>Do you think the fucking tooth fairy gave them their 750Ti or 960?
No. Are you functioning under some retarded concept that everyone who was shopping for a video card before the 970 it was launched were going to buy a 970 after it was launched? That, good sir, is retarded.
>>
>>55001472
The reason I say most people are going to buy ~$200 gpus
Is because if you look on the steam hardware survey, most people are using ~$200 gpus
Some people are still using Intel HD graphics.
While the 970 reigns supreme as the single most used card, it is not the most used card in its price range.
the 480 wants to be the 970 of the $300 gpus
It wants to be the best out of the ~$200 gpus
You can't deny that more people are using gpus that cost about $200 than those that cost $300, $400, and up.

hey man, I'm a pretty big AMD shiller myself, but no one's using a 390 or 970 for 4k
>>
>>55001602
We aren't trying to compare direct cards, you are trying to compare the 970 to all other cards.
What we are comparing is its price point.
Like I said in >>55001606
The 970 is the most bought $300 card, I can't deny that, but what the 480 is trying to do is become the most bought $200 card, since that's where the majority of people lie, in the $200 range

As someone who games on 1920x1200 and uses a 4k 60hz tv as a monitor, the idea that you put me in pleb town with the other 96% of pc gamers. I am the 4%
>>
>>55001606
>Is because if you look on the steam hardware survey, most people are using ~$200 gpus
Yes, I understand you are using a comparison that includes people who bought gpus before the 960/970 were launch. But that has limited bearing on the comparison of buying a 480 compared to a 1070. In that situation the two cards are coming out roughly contemporaneously. It does not accurately reflect people who are going to choose a GPU for the first time. It does not accurately reflect people who are going to upgrade from an old $200 gpu to either a new $200/230 gpu or a new $370 gpu.

You might be trying to compare them to all other cards but that is not analogous to the comparison of the 480 to the 1070. New to this thread?

What's up brah?
>>
>>55001672
>>55001685
The only reason I'm comparing the 1070 to the 480 is because more people are using cards $200 or less, the 480 is $199, which is why I think that it may sell well due to the majority of the market being in the $200 range.
Sure, some people will upgrade to a 970, but that doesn't account for how more people use the same 2-3 cards that are under $200 than one $300 card
More people have stuck with the same cheep gpus than those who have upgraded to the 970.
>>
>>54999406

AMD loves to gimp GPUs. Just look at what happened to VLIW4 and 5 after GCN 1.0 came out.
>>
>>55001745
>are using cards $200 or less
But the point is about BUYING not simply USING. Unless you function under some belief that they are going to just get a 480 or 1070 for free?

>Sure, some people will upgrade to a 970
No one has made an argument about upgrading to a 970. Again, the point is only about _buying_ a new card including people who are buying a gpu for the first time. This is not a zero sum game comparison.
>>
>>55001781
Are you saying that AMD affirmatively acted to reduce the capabilities of cards using VLIW4 and 5 to sell more cards that use GCN1.0?
>>
>>54999406
The 390 is a chip that's been in the market like what, 4 years now? The RX480 will be a brand new chip with lots of room for optimization. Can't really call it gimping when it's just a card getting better as opposed to getting worse.

Wow OP, you mean Nvidia came out with a killer card and AMD responded with "No guys wait til you see our new line, its gunna be cheap AND beat Nvidia's new cards!" then the benchmarks came out and showed that AMD was full of shit?

I've never seen this happen before. This is literally the first time this exact thing has ever happened. Unprecedented.

Does this mean the RX 480 isn't the super value everyone thought it was?

Will it still be a great card for maxing games @ 1080p @ 60fps?

if it's the 290x again, why does it only require 1 6-pin connector

didnt you use steam statistics to support your argument, and are now bringing in the people who are going to get a gpu for the first time?

>but what the 480 is trying to do is become the most bought $200 card, since that's where the majority of people lie, in the $200 range

That's such an awesome strategy and will never backfire once Nvidia drops the 970s price to $200 to beat AMD at the pricepoint.

>>55001926
Never mind I saw the benchmark ITT showing the rx480 outperforming the 980.

they probably will, though, we can't make assumptions.
But judging by how aggressive Nvidia is, they most likely will.
But If am can get third party manufacturers to lower the price to about $175, they can still snatch up the 750ti and 960 users, which make up the most of strams userbase with an equal priced, but more powerful card than a 960.
>>
>>55001950
Not gonna happen, champ. There's a lower bound to how cheap a chip can be and it's based on die size. The price for a 970 won't go much lower than it is now until it goes on clearance next year, at which point the 970 will be irrelevant.

First one is December 2011, last one is November 2013, after which it was dropped from the chart. Notice the 6970 stays pretty much stable with the cards it was released with? It's a 570 / 480 competitor.

now compare those numbers, the 680 and 770 in there, with a recent 770 >>55000883

alright fine, but i still think 4k gaming at high settings isn't viable yet with a single card

yes, yes, low settings 4k looks as good as 1080p ultra i get it
>>
>>55002146
That's max settings in d3. I don't even play like that normally(playing in 4k), but it's something I can/could do. since I'm using a 55 inch monitor/tv I use a ~29 inch window to play diablo 3 while I have the other shit i'm listening to /watching on the rest of it. 4k and 4k gaming are different animals, since I'm sitting 2-3 feet from my monitor I don't want 4k gaming, I want a 4k desktop and a ~2500x~1600 game. 4k gaming isn't a thing for me. When I play a game I don't care about the graphics I care about the game. I will shoot a block at a block if it means I get better performance.
My current plan is to buy four 480's if i can preorder them at 230ish a piece. I need 2 for this rig, one for my fiance/girlfriend and one for my computer at another location. Up until this release amd hasn't had hdmi 2.0 which is why I upgraded to a 970. I would have bought a 390x or a 390x2[spoiler]I really wanted a 390x2[/spoiler] But they don't do 4k@60 on tv's. the 970 solo does.

I don't see the problem you asking about. Can you elaborate?
>>
why does /g/ care about gfx cards when /g/ doesnt even play video games
>>
>>55001949
Are you for real? I'm the 4k 970 guy. At some point people bought a 970, unless you are going to try to argue that people only upgrade to 970's the rate at which first time buyers is irreverent to how many 970's are out there.
Unless you see a reason why 970 owners were more likely to be first buyers, but 480 owners are only upgrading then not then it's not related to this argument.
So my question is.
the 970 is mostly owned by (upgraders, first time buyers)
The 480 is going to be bought by (upgraders, first time buyers)
And if first time buyers how are we going to run stats on it?

>>54998273
>http://wccftech.com/radeon-rx-480-3d-mark-benchmarks/

look at the specs its obvious the Rx 480 was not meant to beat the 390

AMD just eanted to have a minium card for VR that's why it sits under the R9 390 while using half the power.

Like AMD's CEO Lisa Su said they want to get the low end into VR that was the goal.

it has nothing to do with anything else.
>>
>>55003100
>What is your current expected sales numbers
I don't have sales numbers. I have a trend projection based upon the sales of the last generation of cards. Do you have specific numbers because all we've been working off is percentage of people who use specific model gpus on steam.
