then run the benchmark yourself and post it her- oh wait, you're probably a brand loyal poorfag who only has one card from one company. nice cognitive dissonance and post purchase rationalization.
fact of the matter is that nvidia has better performance at launch, while amd outperforms nvidia in most games a few months after launch once they've optimized their drivers. the reason for this is gameworks. this is coming from a 980ti owner.
Amd is literally worse at everything besides being slightly cheaper. If a headache is worth the savings to you, by all means.

The game runs at 60fps on my shitty laptop. That's not good performance.
>>55147056
>>55147115
It's running at 2k with pre-release drivers. 45fps average is pretty damn good for a $200 card.
>>55147062
I'm not Jap but hes getting 59 to 70 FPS but his setting are locked to the monitors refresh rate so he can go higher. He was also live streaming this so that was also taking up some power. HE DID OVER CLOCK it to 1380 so you will get lower results out of the box. 70c under load. His res is 1080. Reference card.
there was an interesting time when the usual korean dg.lee alias jurnalist leaked his 480 setup
https://imgur.com/6jCfQQH
remember the card has a boost clock of 1266...
>>55147155
It seems like the performance is just like my 390 except it runs at half the power and offers a shitload of displayport instead of hdmi, which is a good thing. Seems like a good step forward but not an "upgrade" for everyone right now.

I'm pushing a HD7950 blow dryer in my case. I wanted the 390 but I'm happy I waited. With that said their are some rumors of this card clocking up to 1500mhz+ so a bit more performance can be squeezed out.

Theirs always an except. but the guys point is currently AMD cards beat their Nvidia counter parts.
>>55147317
>>55147364
they launched on 2013 actually....dont forget they are just rebrands nothing more
Things to consider
There may be another driver release just in time for launch or shortly thereafter so scores could be skewed.
Reference cards may not clock to 1500 without getting really hot and unstable. All indications are that third party custom cards will clock that high easily. Although at this point it is just rumor. Also it may require a 6+8 connector to do it.
DX11 vs DX12 is a meme right now. CF is also a meme. I really hope it can do well in DX11 on a single card solution.
Overwatch is not really a good game to compare on 1440p. Try it on something a bit heavier like The Witcher 3 and we will talk.
Cost of the card may be somewhat higher than people are hoping for on launch.
Stock could be limited by fucking buttcoin variants being mined. Trump coins and all that shit are on the rise again. We've seen that shit happen before.
Don't believe the hype. Just wait and see.
>>55147312
tested both 480 and 1070 myself, 480 is vastly outperforming it
>>55147228
its 122%
also a poster on oc'ed.net stated that the 480 6pin can go up to 1400mhz. superclocked versions with 8+6 pin can sustain 1600mhz easily without tuning the voltage. there will be some info on vega 10 from him tomorrow as well
>>55147433
apparently only the 8gb versions will go that because because of the beast mode
the 4gb will have only one 6 pin practicly holding back the card on max 1300-1400 OC
the 8gb will have 1 8 and 1 6 giving enough headroom to play with that beast mode whatever this may be
>>55147440

i got 2 questions regarding the rx480 and crossfiring them.
1. if i get 2x4GB variants, how likely is it that dx12 games will make use of both vrams and don't run into a limitation?
2. is it possible to connect those 6pins on each card via a single pci-e powerchord which ends as a 6+2 and 6+2 chord?
>>55147671
Seems the 4gb is limited in terms of overclocking so you won't get the same levels of performance. There's literally only 5 games using DX12, might not be worth CFing.

What's 380 counterpart? Also 390 is weaker than 970 gtx when those cards start being OCed to the max. Comparing "stock" 390 and 970 when 390 is just a OCed 290 is your average AMD false advertising cuz suddenly it turns out you can get a 20% gain from your 970 gtx and only a 5% gain from your 390.

DX12 makes it POSSIBLE to pool memory, if the game engine is set up to take advantage of that.

conservative estimates place the RX480 around the same as a standard GTX980. Considering that it already destroys the GTX970 in every benchmark and when overclocked would rival the gtx980ti for a measly $200 half the 980ti cost!

In reality the 8GB reference version of this card costs $50 more and the aftermarket cards will surely cost more.
I expect a custom cooler design for this card to be around $280.

your pricing this in euros kek
>Budget card that performs quite well for most scenarios not requiring massive amounts of performance while also staying efficient
It's great for what it does, but to say it's a counter to high end cards is purely not the case. It's for people with a budget who aren't pushing their system to the max. Buying a card in order to massively overclock it just to beat another card because you are a fanboy or didn't want the premium option is irresponsible at best.
It's like saying the Civic Si is better than a GTI because you flashed it's ECU and straight piped it. Crossfire 480 to get near or past a 1080 is like turbocharging a civic and saying it's better because it was still cheaper to upgrade the Civic than to buy a GTI. But now you introduce a plethora of new factors, risks and incompatibilities.

>>55149438
And multiple articles point to the increases chance of instability even with %1-3 factory overclocks with both nvidia and AMD.
I'm personally an NVIDIA fanboy. I can recognize AMD has stepped their shit up to produce excellent cards. And whole yes they are competitors, I still feel like AMD is a casual to intermediate option and when it comes to high end enthusiasm, NVIDIA is usually where people out their money. It's high performance, good support and most of all, efficient in their power usage where power consumption stated is power actually consumed.
But none the less it's all preference. Some people can afford premiums. Some people pay more because they want to gloat. Some people pay less because they think about value and some people pay less because they are envious of people who can afford more.
All I know is it ain't my issue. I'll be buying a 1080 for a new college build near the end of july paired with a 6800k.

Is that sarcasm? I just like to have a lot of power especially since I won't be making money to upgrade through college.
>>55149553
I phrased my shit wrong. A lot of AMD fanboys are undoubtedly against paying large sums of money for high end nvidia products. Judging by /g/'s general trends, most of them have 2 gen old cards that weren't even top of the line when they bought them. They pay less thinking they'll get more but are always disappointed in everything but longevity which both companies provide. A chunk of AMD's fanboys are certainly envious and therefore hostile towards NVIDIA users because they pay more for a product that delivers more. Not all, but definitely some.
Um not insinuated NVIDIA masterrace, but unless you're buying x50/x60 products, you probably have more money to splurge than the average person, even if it's because you saved up for a long time to get it. In that range AMD certainly wins. But usually those paying the premium for x70 and x80 products know what they're getting into.

>>55149649
>A lot of AMD fanboys are undoubtedly against paying large sums of money for high end nvidia products
I think it's more on the end of overpaying for small gains in performance which is worse on the side of Nvidia and it's just seems to be a norm on that side paying up to 50% more for 10% performance gains. I don't remember anyone saying the 290x is a good buy over the 290.
>>55149358
It's usually the same pricing for both euros and dollars, despite the monetary difference
>>55149744
It's currently 40% premium for 20% gains on the 10 series. Not as bad as you're making out, not great either.
Going for the 1080 over the 1070 is still akin to getting fucked up the ass by a 12'' dragon dildo, but gently and only with the tip.

It has not aged nearly as well as my friend's 7970 that he payed 300$ for at about the same time.
>>55149907
This i can agree with. You're looking at an actual 10% maybe increase from the 1080 for nearly 250$ more. The 1070 goes for around 400, right?
>>55150033
More like $440, Nvidia customers love getting jewed
>>55150043
Does the 1070 outperform the 980(non-ti)?

Your better off going for a second hand Titan X and overclocking it. At 1400-1500mhz clock it actually outperforms the GTX 1080 by about 3% at 4K

The RX480 is getting all of the hype since it's the >flagship from the mainstream Polaris, but the RX470 might be the dark horse in this release. $150 for a cute card that could potentially rival last year's low high end is no joke. Wait, it's less than two weeks away.
>>55150219
You can't wait till the 29th? If not I guess 390 it is but yes it's better to wait and see the benchmarks.
>>55150131
I highly disapprove of second hand electronics of any type. Its a personal nitpick. Its not that I don't want to save money I just don't want the risk at all.
The 1080 seems like it's gonna take the cake IMO. At a solid 60+ 1440p maxed GTAV. That's all me. The 1070 shows spiked down to below 45. Currently playing on PS4 called at 30 and I want to literally kill myself when driving through a busy street. It hurts my eyes.

why exactly should i buy an rx480 for $230 when i paid $250 for the same performance a year ago?
what's AMD's target demographic for this? the prebuilt meme children need GPUs that run without a power connector, and million of people all upgraded to 970-tier gpus throughout 2014 and 2015. we're at the point where the 970 is the most sold and used gpu in history, and AMD is only putting out an equivalent GPU two years after the fact.
give me something real, i'm not interested in waiting until 2017 just to hear about your next GPU.
>>55150682
don't then, who cares
>>55150682
It's putting out 980-980TI levels of performance for $200-300 on pre-release drivers. Imagine where it'll get once drivers mature. I've been using Nvidia since the GeForce 2 and even I'm impressed.
>>55150682
You shouldn't you dummy. Anyone with 970 and 390 performance or more shouldn't be looking at this card. It's for first time builders or others rocking Tahiti, Kepler, or something worse. If anything people like you and me should be on the lookout for Vega and bigger Pascal since these Pascal chips are not only bland but out of stock everywhere.

What I want is a $250 card which runs everything on 1080p at high/max settings for maybe a couple years, and maybe another year or two more when overclocked at high/med settings or if I ever jump to 1440p
This is that card, and until Nvid releases a price comparable option it is the card I'm getting.
>>55151361
No offense buddy but believing the 480 will run everything at high/max settings 60fps for even a couple years is a ridiculous expectation. Especially 1440p high 60fps for years to come.
The 980 won't be capable of this. The expectation without many official benchmarks is that the 480 is going to perform just under the 980.

>Scroll up.
You mean to the chart from literally a year and a half ago? The one completely missing any current cards and their relevant numbers?
>>55151405
The 480 is a brand new chip with plenty of driver optimization to be gained, whereas the 980 is ancient and is pretty much already as optimized as it can be.
>>55151405
My dusty old 7850 ran 1080p high/max for about a couple years, only with newer titles released beyond 2014 has it started to suffer. Games like AotS and GTAV are sort of outliers, considering the scope of the graphics work required compared to what's still typical. The card gets 45-55fps in FO4 on a mix of medium/high ( with Nvid tessellated rays on low)
Will the 480 be able to do 1080p 144hz? Trying to decide if I want to upgrade to the 480 or bite the bullet and save up for a 1070.
>>55151461
Yes I can see that. But my point is that games are becoming more and more demanding every year on top of a massive breakthrough in technology. Buying the cheap 250$ card that promises much -now- is a perfectly fine thing to do. For the price I'm sure it's going to perform amazingly. But to expect high settings for the next near half decade is outlandish.
>tfw Polaris is a massive flop and now we're gonna get fucked in the ass by Nvidia price gouging once AMD goes bankrupt next year
Just let the misery end.

Windows 10 Service pack 1 (you can get it in the insider preview) has about 15% more frames in CS:GO.
>>55151485
Why? What did they change in the update?
>>55151478
7970 and 7970Ghz are still working very well for being 300-400$ cards from 4 years ago, granted that was the high end back then.
>>55151485
It's called Redstone, not Service Pack 1. No such thing as service packs anymore.
>>55148868
well i said it before this card without oc on dx12 will be on 1070 level especially on games that will make use of a lot of compute shaders
>>55150813
and you base your fact on a site that just throws numbers here and there every single time this year
and has never be correct?
yeah lol
>>55150737
Those scores seem more in line with the 470 than the 480 from all the other leaked benchmarks we've seen, looks like videocardz made a mistake
>>55151497
>$400 used to be high end
>now it's $700 and rising
What the fuck went wrong?
>>55151788
People are dumb enough to buy at that price.
>>55151788
Firstly, inflation.
Secondly, high end cards are just harder to make.
>>55151788
>>55151497
Both those cards were about $500 at launch
I'm actually a tad bit more interested in the RX 470, especially if it's around the 150 USD mark.
It may not be all that cut down in comparison and still seems to carry hefty memory bandwidth based on rumors. I'd guess it'd hit around a 970 level and may overclock quite well if it shares that trait with the RX 480.
It may be *the* card to get for some last chance mining; it'll likely be significantly cheaper than the RX 480 but likely will hash very similarly and with even less energy cost.
As someone who still has a HD7850 and a standard 1080p monitor currently, it seems like the best upgrade for now, especially considering I am thinking of mining (maybe running two of them for 300USD) and could likely be resold for nearly the same amount as purchased when I upgrade to the Vega (and new monitor) I'm saving up for at the end of the year.
I feel like someone in my kind of position can't really find the value in the 8GB RX 480, especially if they escalate up to 300 USD for the best variants... I'd feel weird buying a 250-300USD card that now and just trading it off for a 400-500 dollar one a few months later, especially if the 300USD card is cannibalized or competition causes it to drop in price when I'd resell it.
>>55151802
>dumb
It's the best value cards.
>>55151826
Inflation is around 3% per year though so thats not a huge amount
>>55151840
Compound interest nigger
>>55151405
Basically, all you do is turn off some of those extremely minute visual enhancements that seem to add very little and often are a matter of pure, subjective taste.
You can still use a 970/980 at 1080p (some games 1440p) at very high settings for the next 2-3 years easy.
Unless you are a goy who wants to get shekeled every year, doling out cash for overpriced nvidia or amd cards.
>>55151788
inflation and greed(caused by lack of competitors)
>>55151788
Considering people bought founders editions it's purely because the market is retarded and will pay whatever you ask for.
See also: Nvidia realizing that their "prosumer" titan was mostly bought by gamers, so they marketed the titan x exclusively to gamers.
>>55151867
>compound interest
Yes and do the math you fucking retard. Even in 5 years a $400 card would only come out to be about $450
Stay jewed
How much of an upgrade will I get going from a 280x to a 480?
>>55152180
Everything in the supply chain will cost 20% more.
The more steps it takes to produce a thing the more expensive it gets. Employees have to be paid a little more, you have to pay a little more for silicon, a little more for electricity, a little more for everything, and it all stacks up.
Not to mention that making the GPUs themselves became more expensive inherently, more man hours need to go into designing chips with more transistors, failure rates from fabbing go up since there are more parts to go wrong and so on
>>55152201
Dunno, the 480 isn't out yet
>>55152247
What I'm really wondering is if I could push 1080p 144hz with it.
Also, what are my chances of getting a 480 right away? I've never really bought completely new hardware like this before, do they have a pre-purchase time?
>>55152317
the chance is zero (unless you pay an extreme price gouge). you should wait at least a month to get a card with a decent non-reference pcb and aftermarket cooler.
>>55152261
That's what I wanna know as well. Considering one of the aftermarket cards there's supposed to be and a 144hz 1080 monitor
>>55149559

>he fell for the buttcoin meme
Seriously. this shit has to end. not only is it worthless (Unless you invest in real Bitcoins but enjoy having them stolen or have trouble redeeming them) but they cause low stock issues and price hikes for those who want to use them for what they were intended for. We had that a few years back and it was no good back then either. I wish it would die.
480 = Titan X killer.
>>55146560
post the same graphs for the 1.5 patch then nigger
>>55152014
That invalidates the post he was answering too you retard. The poster expected too not have too lower any settings for at least a couple of years.
>just want a card that can do 144fps at 1080p
is this the card?
I heard I have to get a 144hz monitor with freesync too, but when I looked those up they were $700 CAD which is too much for me
I'm personally interested in getting one. Its cheap, its a huge performance boost over my current GTX 660, it doesnt use that much power and as a direct consequence should run pretty cool.
On top of that it'll allow me to get rid of the 440 OEM i have driving the second monitor. Just need to find one with at least one proper DVI out, and run the other off an HDMI-DVI converter.
>>55151826
my shitting country is experiencing deflation, still the prices are going up
>>55152798
You took the time to answer me therefore I'll answer you.
That bird is cute as fuck
>>55150565
I feel bad for the 970 owners
They are going to get royally fucked over as games are set to use more and more vram

>>55151788
people keep paying for it so Nvidia keeps releasing more expensive cards.
>>55157448
lol what the fuck is that
>half of a fake smoke grenade on a 360
>>55157291
actually I noticed nvidia makes sure the vram is not filled past the 3.5 mark, even if the game is demanding as fuck.
the performance plummets should the game (i.E. DOOM4) go out of bounds.
>18 fps on everything ultra @ 3440x1440
>30 fps on low @ 3440x1440 & 70% RR
fucking doom.
>>55147502
>Yayaa
What are the chances that it will be affordable in EU? Like not 500EUR.
