the 8GB RX 480 is available for notification on newegg
so, does that mean the 8gb models are launching on June 29th?
hope I get paid by then....

Wait for aftermarket cards. If the 480 can get 25% increase on OC with stock cooler, you can bet an aftermarket cooler is going to give you at least 35%

So what's the prediction here?
RX480 to 1070 GTX.
~ 70% performance for $200 less?
The overclock might put that to 85%.
>>55225026
It's probably closer to 80% if it ends up being about as fast a 980
>>55225041
75%, and that's assuming the 480 doesn't launch with driver issues. It takes several months for AMD cards to reach their full potential through driver updates.
>>55224410
Is this worth buying? I have an old GTX 660, but the rest of my guts are pretty up to date. Should i make the switch to this?
>>55225026
65-70% of the performance but can overclock like mad for another 30%
So pretty much near a stock 1070 for $240
>>55225083
Pretty sure every Radeon card driver is pretty optimized by now. Nvidia drivers rarely offer performance gains
im gonna get it b/c i want to be able to play skyrim special edition with lots of mods and my 760 can't do that :3
>>55225109
>but can overclock like mad for another 30%
Yeah but i am pretty sure it will not be that easy and cheap
>>55225113
They rarely offer performance gains because you can only optimize them so much. Would you rather buy from a company that gives you as close to the theoretical max performance at launch, or one that takes up to a year to do that?
>>55224978

fucking hell, can't they stick to one
>>55225155
The one that has better performance when I buy.
And if that one just gets better with time, the choice is obvious.
>>55225166
Top kek you guys always change the phrasing to make releasing cards with sub optimal performance sound like a feature.
>>55225016
Kek, yeah same reason I'm doing it with a custom loop
How much more power does a 480 have compare to a 290?
>>55225193
Slightly more, at half the power consumption
>>55225193
The 480 is most likely in the R9 390x-GTX980 range.
>>55225083
By my calculations, if the 480 is about as powerful as a 980, and if the PC leaks are accurate and that you can get 25% increase on stock cooler, then with OC the 480 is about 90% performance of 1070, more with an aftermarket cooler.

>Top kek you guys always change the phrasing to make releasing cards with no performance updates sound like a feature.
>>55225193
Wait for benchmarks. The optimistic view puts it at around 980 levels of performance, the not so optimistic ones put it at 970 levels of performance, considering you have a 290, the latter is barely a justifiable upgrade.
>>55225271
I don't even really need to wait, I've got a 7850 currently with a 1440p display
>>55225270
That's because the drivers function properly from the get go.
>>55225109
You can't gain 30% from OC unless you're able to OC 30% or more at least. 1% gain in OC roughly gives little less than 1%. With 1120 base clock, +30% will be 1456 mhz. Probably wont reach that with stock cooling. I'd say max of 15-20% on stock. So roughly about 1344 Mhz. Which should give roughly between 15-20% increase.
Using >>55225083, assuming 80 fps RX480 stock vs 112 fps 1070, that would give it 96 fps max. So puts it within 16% on reference OC vs stock 1070.
Its possible that RX480 average might be higher(or lower), as this is just a guess, in whichcase the numbers would change.
But this is what I'm predicting, within 80%-85% reach of GTX 1070 on reference 20% OC.
>>55225219
POO IN NVIDIAS LOO HELL YES
>>55225326
>You can't gain 30% from OC unless you're able to OC 30% or more at least
Nonsense, you can reach a 30% increase in 3D performance even without a 30% core clock increase, all depends on how much bandwidth the architecture needs.
Tahiti could do 30% OCs, so could GM200/204
>>55225326
But didn't that one guy over clock his 480 to 1607MHz on stock cooler?
>>55225271
benchmarks fucking when
>>55225382
These are leaks, not actual information.
We'll see if thats possible or not. If the 1600 is true, then its a whopping +40% OC, almost unheard of without some form of hacks(additional cooling, aftermarket, etc).
>>55224776
Fucking top kek, what's even more funny is that it's true
>>55225156
>vga
Should have died when they stopped making CRT displays. Irrelevant.
>dvi
Standard display connector, is being phased out because it can't deliver enough bandwidth.
>dp
"New" standard display connector. My 5 year old displays have DP.
>hdmi
It's for TVs.
>>55225386
Give it a little more than a week after it gets released, then you can see benchmarks with and without OC
>>55225386
1 more week for official ones.
You'll be seeing benchmarks that break NDA within this week, though.
I have an R9 270X. Would this be a good upgrade?
I'm not poorfag but I don't play enough vidya to justify Nvidia's sky high prices.
>>55225400
>hacks(additional cooling, aftermarket, etc).
How are these hacks? hacks would mean voltage and BIOS mods.
>>55225416
Yes, if you sell it and put the money towards buying the card
>>55225416
Definitely an upgrade.
>>55225419
Some form of hacks as in adding anything to the reference cooling solution.
My point was, its almost impossible to get that gain from reference cooling solution.
>>55224986
Word they actually talk about shit that matters. Like actually talking about long-term daily headphone use.
>>55225416
Yes.
Imagine going from 270X to 390X. There's 280-280X/285->290->290X/390->390X
Roughly 5 different tiers in between. Or if you want to cut it short, 2.5 tiers higher than your card. Just compare the benchmark between 390X and 270X. This card will roughly double your current performance.
>http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-R9-390X-vs-AMD-R9-270X/3497vs2188
>>55225326
> With 1120 base clock
RX 480 has a boost clock of 1266 MHz which it is obviously running at during the leaked benchmarks considering the card clearly isn't being throttled by temps (~70C). A 30% OC would be 1646 MHz, which is pretty unlikely, especially since there was a chiphell admin claiming that his sample didn't OC to more than 1340 MHz.
If huge OCs like that were possible, there'd be no real reason for AMD not to release the card at higher clocks. The power consumption is low, the temperatures are relatively low. Any expectations of +30% OCs on air is wishful thinking, and anyone expecting such will be sorely disappointed if the average card only overclocks for 10-15%.
>>55225402
so should I ditch DVI for a display port ?
>>55225509
You can't possibly know, there's enough VRMs there for a 200W+ IC and we don't really know how cool Polaris 10 runs on the reference cooler.
>>55225586
With aftermarket coolers you could get 20-25% OC though
>>55225586
It is well established that AMD needs to stay under the radar. A potential huge over clock is an easy way to do this and keep intel from being pressured to use their jew powers.
>>55225612
Yes. The new ones can do 8K at 60Hz, not like you'd ever use it though
>>55225614
Don't get your hopes up.
>>55224410
>walk into hardware store
>want to buy a high end AMD card
>it doesn't exist
what do
Look how tiny the heat sink on the RX 480 is.
This is ridiculous. The only way this could be passable is if it was super low power.
Looks like Kyle is going to be crying even more.
>>55225613
>You can't possibly know
Thats the fucking point. We don't know. Therefore we can't assume if those leaks are true or not or whether those OCs are done with reference cooler or not.
With this said, its highly improbable that stock reference coolers will reach 40% OC clock. I don't remember any stock coolers reaching that high in OC. Even 20% is a very high optimistic OC potential scenario for stock reference cards.
>>55225640

Oh wait Nvidia has none in stock anywhere aside from ebay with 30% Markup, lel

>>55225619
It's not like AMD's recent offerings have been particularly good at overclocking.
All from TPU reviews:
Nano
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1060 MHz on the GPU, a 6% overclock; GPU overclocking potential is quite slim. Memory doesn't overclock much better, reaching 565 MHz, a 13% increase.
Fury X
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1150 MHz GPU clock (10% overclock).
Fury
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1095 MHz on the GPU, a 10% overclock.
390X (aftermarket model, reference clock was 1050 MHz leading to 11% OC total)
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1170 MHz GPU clock (6% overclock) and 1780 MHz on the memory (17% overclock).
>>55224682
>Had money set aside for a 1070
>480 sounds like its a better deal
>Going to get 2 cards on launch
>>55225719
Right so the conclusion is that anyone wanting more than budget card performance needs to look elsewhere than AMD, glad we settled that
>>55225712
oh sry there arent 500 heat pipes swirling around the entirety of the PCB, if it bothers you so much wait for other manufacturers or just get a gtx1080
>>55225713
So turn down your settings slightly? the only thing that matters is frame rate at native rez
can you even really see the difference between medium-high and high-ultra?
>>55225735
k lmk how it feels to pay 400% more to 30% performance. Owait u cant buy a 1080 for msrp anywhere
>>55225740
>being an even bigger retard
The RX 480's PCB is only a couple inches longer than the Fury Nano's. The cooler is tiny, and if you can't see that then you're literally retarded. Your brain does not work.
>>55225743
Or I buy a card that is capable of running 1440p on high settings
>>55225762
>I want to validate my choice of buying a 1080, wahhha.
There, you are now validated. Fuck off.
>>55225751
30% more performance
Lol, you need to check your math buddy
>>55225774
Actualy I was thinking about the 1070, you sound salty
>>55225735
What is a "budget card performance"?
For $200, that offers performance of last gen's $500 cards are pretty impressive. Its not a "budget card performance" but rather "budget card with performance"
The former devalues the card, the later gives it proper value.
>>55225762
So then pay $700 for 30% more performance and then when you upgrade to a 4k display your GPU won't be capable enough to run at high settings because you didn't wait for the 1080ti or Vega cards
>>55225795
>What is a "budget card performance"?
The 480
When did this thread devolve into summerfags shouting at each other?
>>55225804
>700$ for 30% more performance over a 480
Lol what, why would I pay 700$ for a 980?
>>55225759
"he blower style cooling solution should easily be capable of handling the 150W TDP of the chip not to mention the relatively tame stock clocks (for a FinFET chip) of ~1266 Mhz.
"
Fucking fool
>>55225640
Go to an electronics store, not home depot.
>>55225843
>going even further to prove hes a shit eating retarded child
Its like you really are too stupid to read.
>>55225859
And buy which card?
>>55225825
1080, the 390 is going to be 30-40% slower than the 1080 on average, not including an OC
>>55225642
So basically the reference card is super cheap because there's almost no cooling. Doesn't that mean aftermarket cards will cost a lot more?
>>55225870
How can you be this fucking delusional.
On what basis do you make this calculation exactly?
So this card won't compete with the new 1080 right?
>>55225562
Okay, neat. I still have an i7 2600k with DDR3 RAM. Will any of that be a bottleneck?
>>55225884
Yes.
>tfw people are going to have a hell of a time buying the 480 at launch because all the people falling for the dual cards meme depleting the stock faster
>>55225884
No. It has a tiny cooler because it doesn't need anything more.
Polaris 10 is a super low power GPU.
>>55225896
Yeah. 1080 is a high end $700 card, 480 is upper mid range. Get a 1080 if you're a richfag and have the cash, otherwise it's hard to beat the 480
>>55225870
AMD presentation showed that RX 480 CF got 62.5 fps and a single GTX 1080 got 58.7 fps at crazy settings at 1080p.
Other benchmarks show ~80% CF scaling on those settings with Fury X.
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/7578/dx12-benched-fury-cf-vs-titan-sli-ashes-singularity/index3.html
Assuming similar scaling for RX 480, this would put a single RX 480 at 34.3 fps. This would put GTX 1080 roughly 70% ahead of RX 480. This is relatively close to the leaked fire strike results that put GTX 1080 80% above RX 480. The difference can be easily explained by AotS favoring AMD cards in comparison to the average video game and/or by 3Dmark favoring nvidia cards.
>>55225884
Of course, it's not NVidia and their Grand Goy edition. Refference is bottom of the offerings, with better and better partner cards towards top of the tier.
Like it always was before Nvidia decided they don't have enough money.
PREPARE YOUR ANUSES NVIDIKEKS
RX480 GETTING RELEASED TOMORROW AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE PURCHASE THEM FOR MSRP
IMAGINE THAT!
>>55225931
But that also means cards with non stock coolers will cost more relative to the reference card.
>>55225943
Don't use actual numbers, fanboys aren't interested in them
>>55225952
Of course
That's how it always goes
>>55225699
AMD doesn't have a high end GPU available at the moment, just like Nvidia won't have a viable midrange card for months. Either wait or spend the extra money on the 1070, and stop whining like a little faggot.
>>55225888

Polaris isn't meant to, no.
Vega is supposed to but they haven't revealed it yet.
>>55225977
So where is the 480 in there?
>>55225681
Dude, fellow AMD'er I run a CF setup but I would never tell some one to do it. CF/SLi does not take advantage of every game. I play BF4 and only BF4, CF/SLi is perfect for BF4 but you don't know what other people play. The game ArmA runs like total shit on CF/SLi. So don't recoment it unless you know for sure. With that being said. I'm getting 2 480 because it works for me.
>>55226007
the 480 should be basically as fast as the 390x
>>55225949
So out of all these, what is the manufacturer hierarchy in terms of quality?
I took a look at warranties and everyone seems to only include two years.
>>55226016

>>55225995
Sure, what's your point? Either wait or buy what Nvidia for the early markup prices. We've known for a while now that Vega won't be released until Q1 2017, I don't see what the big deal is. You can do whatever you want, please apply some reading comprehension next time, retard.

>>55225009
So this explains about 5000 years of history.
>>55226039
you actually think we'll believe that without a source, moron
>>55226056
no one had drivers first of all they just got them 1 day ago....
second the card has quite a lot of changes you cant just compare the tflops without puting the OoO or the new casting into perspective which be definition we dont know nothing about it yet
those leaked benches were close to 390x and im pretty sure it will reach nano once the drivers are in..
>>55226061
ArmA, I want to play this game so bad, but I'm not dropping $50 on that.
>>55226119

>>55226135
I hope so. Back then, there was actually competition, and it was normal to get decent GPUs for like $150. For a while that's been doubled, because the only cards that are not shit-tier these days are 290 and up.
>>55226173
back then amd murdered nvidia with a card that was 300 bucks less..
eventually people earned a class lawsuit against nvidia because they were charging gtx 280 so high while wasnt offering anything compared to the 4870..
The new leaked benchmarks look fantastic, gonna be hard waiting on the aftermarket cards.
>>55226187
Yeah, that probably will not ever happen again.
The 4870 is the GOAT.
Currytech posted a bunch of game leaks minutes ago
>>55225722
Those are 28nm cards though, and the Fury/FuryX/Nano were pretty much experiments with HBM

Nvidias Titan and lack of AMD high end competition has fucked up all the pricing. (I also think its because of the huge influx of twitch kids to PC gaming). The Titan/ti cards should be the x80 cards.
>>55226295
the fury line was a card for the 20nm not 28 glofo fucked up the node once more and amd had to release it as a 28 with a die size bigger than a fucking aircraft carrier..

it takes roughly 3 or more years, not month.

>Thats what google is for
So you don't have a source.
>4870
4890 was the flagship.
>5870 - 850MHz
>6970 - 880MHz
Same node.
>7970 - 925Mhz
>290x - 1000Mhz
>390x - 1050Mhz
Same node.
You're not very good at this, are you?
Also, RX 480 is at 1266 MHz already. See how much larger the increment is compared to the other increments?
This is what being a fanboy does to you. You become a complete idiot.
How big of an upgrade would the 8GB version be for a 770 2GB? Running a 1440p monitor.
>>55226532
Yeah I could, but I play it on my hdtv on my couch. Buying a 4k tv isn't really in my budget right now.
>>55226612
Wait for actual benchmarks.
>>55225260
I dig both the RX 450 and RX 480..
>>55225219
>by my calculations
Hey look it's nothing
>>55226612
well a 280x is almost 32% faster than a 770 nowdays.. and 480 is almost 20% above that or 30% depending on the actual bench..
so the worst case scenario ir 390x perf the best case is nano perf
either way its miles ahead of a 770

So, you are saying clock speeds dont increase over time, when they do? We have been on 28nm for so long, and AMD have skipped 20/16nm and gone straight to 14nm which is why the clock speed is way higher than before.
Fanboy of what, I have a 980 :^) Nvidias clock speeds also increase every gen if you haven't noticed.
4890 was not the flagship, it was released almost a year after the 4870 and was just a refresh of the 4870 with higher clocks. Comparable to the 7970GHz edition.

It's always summer in /g/ when it comes to vidya.
Hey guys how do you think it would run arma 3 on my curved LG (tm) 34" display with freesync (tm) support and 3440 x 1440 resolution?

>So, you are saying clock speeds dont increase over time,
Nice strawman. Feel free to point out where I said that.
You said
>Higher clocks with lower processes always happens.
Note the word "always". This means that if there's even a single time when it didn't happen, your statement is wrong. I pointed out one such example (4890 and 5870). And 4890 was the flagship as much as the 980 Ti was the flagship.

This also happened with the 2900 XT and 3870, as long as you looked at what kind of clocks the cards were actually capable of, rather than just the stock clocks.

I never claimed that smaller process nodes never lead to higher clocks. I never claimed that more mature manufacturing doesn't lead to higher clocks either. They both can, but it depends on the architecture.
You should consider using actual direct links instead of trying to make someone google. This is how arguments work. You provide proof for your claims. It's as if you want to hide behind the vagueness of your source so you can always say "well, I wasn't talking about that".
I'm assuming you're talking about this thing.

I'm no expert in Italian, but I don't see Sapphire saying that +1500 MHz is easy to get. You can OC a 2500k to 6 GHz. Intel might confirm that it's possible. Does that mean it's easy? Nah, you need LN2 for that. There may be 480s that reach +1500 MHz. In fact, it'd be pretty unlikely that no 480 would reach that, considering it's a +18% OC. But will the average 480 reach that? Who knows, but probably not.
Be a little less retarded next time, and for the love of god, learn how to argue.

Never thought id say this but i guess its time to go to reddit
>>55225722
You went to all that trouble to type out that?
HBM can't over clock, and a 390 is a over clocked 290 essentially.

If you have a modern Galaxy phone just buy a Gear VR and use Tridus.

razer having something priced reasonably?
what a time to be alive
>>55224764
I have a custom cooler ready, the only question is whether it will fit on the card, and whether the VRMs are enough to power the card (and are they properly cooled or not).
I'm fine with the stock cooler for that reason.
Heck I might even just go for the 470 instead... given AMDs track record, it might be unlockable to a full 480, for $50 cheaper.

Man that must suck to be you .
Glad I actually had some credit with Newegg they let me use so spent even less than expected. Shit, I am tempted to sell it to some local dude for 800+ who does not want to wait since it seems I am of the 2-5% that actually got my hands on one.
