5200 RPM is that fans max RPM (watch a teardown showing the exact fan model for proof)
1600 RPM is roughly 30% of total fan speed
GPU-Z is not properly reporting most things on the RX 480 at this time, even the latest model does not properly report most things on the RX 480, you have to do a thermal camera test or there's no way to properly test the temperatures on a 480.

kek gotta love AMDrones. The rx 480, a mid to low end card, has the same thermal performance of the gtx 1080, a high end card. Given that high end cards consume more power and are less power efficient than the lower tier cards, that means that AMD's high end cards will run hotter than Nvidia's cards, and Nvidia's mid to low end cards will run cooler than AMD's.
I think we're in for another generation where both Nvidia and AMD put out cards that are just average and all the hype is for nothing. Nobody pulled off any miracles, cards of equivalent price brackets will be pretty similar from both sides and all that.
>>55241779

I didn't say they had to use the anime mascot, you mindless twat, only that they borrow from it the theme. The heart. Being at the heart of gaming. They provide hardware for all the consoles on the market right now, and next gen systems, they're launching a cheap entry level VR GPU. All of that ties together perfectly.

I see you're a newfag, AMD always uses that type of heatsink, My Reference 7950 also has the same size heatsink.
AMD is just cheap, dirty kikes.
I want is 100+ frames at 1440P with everything to ultra. The games ill be playing are GTA V, Witcher 3, overwatch, modded out skyrim, Doom, dark souls 3, and the new Dues X when it comes out.

>>55245101

>>55245185
I am still using the 4870 and I am going to upgrade to the 480
>>55241725
970/390 were high end, retard. Also this performance will equal the new consoles, so you're sure to run games at 1080p flawlessly with low heat and noise. TW3, which is a game decidely unfavorable to AMD's cards, runs High/Ultra with hairworks off at 60FPS/1080p. TW3 Ultra is a tier of its own, but like many "Ultra" settings (FO4 comes to mind), it really isn't worth the performance hit. So TW3 High is a good build target / benchmarking goal.
You may not need the card (which I'll get, 280x sold for ~190USD, buying 4GB RX470 for 150USD, 40 profit and a better card), but there are plenty of people on 560Tis and other old cards/CF setups who will upgrade.
>>55245188
I own a fucking HD7950 I know how the reference heatsink looks like.
>>55245254
Not him but it's pretty easy to see it uses a bigger heatsink
>>55245265
Well I have been chinked then mine is just a fucking block on the middle.
So can I expect at least 2x the performance of my 7950 or what with this card? What's the real world difference between the 4gb and 8gb variants? I'm only gaming at 1080p. Gibe benchmarks plox.
>>55245296

When I find myself reading posts like this, I know I've had too much 4chan for the day. I'm gonna go read a book.
If blower style GPU coolers had much bigger fans like pic related, would they perform as well as open air coolers? I like this idea because exhausting the heat out of the case is just more preferable to open air coolers for me.
>>55245348
Yes, but to get really nice temps you need a thick heatsink.
See how AMD managed to cool down the 300 rebrand series even with just two fans compared to the 200 coolers.
The heatsinks used on the 300 rebrand are around 2.5 slots compared to the 2.0 slot from almost all the Nvidia cards.
The heatsink used in the MSI 390 is almost as twice as thick as the one in the MSI GTX 970.
>>55242250
Could be the top card getting reduced airflow in a tight dual gpu setup.
>>55245239
They claim they're putting the Fury's cooling tech onto the 480; personally, I hope that the cooler on the 470 will be equal to that of the 480, whatever it turns out to be.
AMD's now stock Wraith CPU cooler gives me hope that the reference models will have good cooling and a 40W difference between TDP and consumption

>>55243510
when you limit the fan speed to about 30% sure, it gets to 80~c
1600rpm on a fan that goes 5000-6000 is not 50% fan speed, gpuz is throwing wrong numbers.
>>55245461

>>55245348
You know, you could do this even better if you used some sort of conductive tubing that didn't radiate much heat, and put the blower on the very edge of the case.
Crazy idea right? It's just coming to me. :^)
>>55243510
The 1080 is drawing over 220W while it's TDP is only 180W. Of course it's going to downclock, because it's can't maintain its boost speed and stay under 82C.
The 480 probably draws about 110W but has a TDP of 150W, thereby allowing overclocking and boost clocks but keeping the temperature manageable.

The 1080 draws 180w from the 8 pin power connector, there's another 75w from the PCIe connection. 180w + 75w = 255w. The 1080 reduces its boost clock at higher temperatures, but it can still remain above the base clock. All cards these days are designed to adjust their clock speed based on the load and the temperature and a host of other factors.

>>55245655
Intel isn't getting out of the desktop/laptop processor market anytime soon. All of their attempts to break into mobile besides low power processors for Surface Pro type devices has failed. They need x86. And AMD and Intel depend on each other, it's not like AMD has Intel by the balls or anything.
>>55245685
It's true. Low end is garbage like AMD's R7 line. Face it, the stuff we consider high end around here is what most users see as UFO tier.
>>55245707
The 1080 is nowhere near Fermi tier. The 1080 gets to the mid 80s C. Fermi operated at 105 C. There's a 20 degree difference.

That's only it's max power draw, not necessarily consumption. And I didn't mean to imply that 1080 thottles below base clock, note that I specified boost clock in that sentence.
>>55241028
it's a constant struggle

Yeah, nah. Most users don't even look at the 1070's price point. You've got your head in the clouds.
>>55245758
If it was at 980 level by default and overclocked by any significant amount, it would already be at stock 980 Ti levels.
>We all know this isn't true either.
>>55241028
muh wallet is happy
>>55245759
They're enthusiast teir
>>55245779
>Of course it's going to downclock, because it's can't maintain its boost speed and stay under 82C
Downclock from boost, retard. Now apologize.
>>55245814
>demanding an apology on 4chan
Why don't you go fuck yourself.
>>55245757
That's why the 1080 uses GDDR X and the 980 Ti has 384 bit bus. The 1070 is just cucked though.
Seems my local microcenter is going to have them in stock for the 29th release. Should i pick up a 8370 to upgrade my 6300 with?
>inb4 get intel
Id rather not have to replace my motherboard aswell since im waiting to see how Zen pans out. If its shit then ill get intel.
>>55241028
AMD for life.
fight me.

>>55245857
You have to replace your motherboard with Zen anyway. It uses AM4.
>>55245895
You have a point but Intel shit is so expensive. I could just get a 8370e for like 80 bucks and drop that shit in
>>55245908
If it was $80 sure but Microcenter prices aren't that good. The best deals there are with the bundled motherboard anyway. Either get an actual upgrade now or wait for Zen.
>>55245857
I have the 6350, and I'm planning to sell it and buy a used 8350. ~20USD upgrade. I'll get a better CPU after AMD has established Zen and I get an HMD
>>55245895
Yeah, but he can have a better CPU until he picks AM4 or 1151 later
WHEN ARE THEY LIFTING THE NDA? I WANT CONCRETE BENCHMARKS DAMMIT.
>>55245959
Why not just get 1151 now instead of wasting money on something that will get replaced so soon?
>>55245978
because AM4 will actually last unlike 1151
>>55245882
>Intel will continue to introduce next-generation CPUs, and it’ll clearly continue to market those devices as compelling upgrades.
They aren't abandoning the desktop market. Why would they abandon something they virtually have a monopoly over? That article didn't specify *who* was getting laid off at Intel. Companies restructure all the time, I highly doubt Intel will stop making desktop CPUs as long as there is a market for them. And nothing about that article even suggests they're abandoning x86_64. They're shifting to enterprise/cloud + ultra portable "cloud books" , both of which still use x86 by and large.
>>55245978
AMD CPUs are cheap, it's a stopgap solution,
>>55245992
So just hold out to AM4. You're the one that suggested the 1151 option.
>>55246015
A 8370e is still $120 at Microcenter. It's a dumb "upgrade"
>>55245967
29th iirc
>>55243170
Keep going guys there was shit flying everywhere
>>55246039
So, when it comes out? I hope they have a decent stock because I don't want to buy before I see anything.
>>55246007
>They aren't abandoning the desktop market.
You're right, they are conceding it to AMD, who will end up with a 50% market share in a few years.
There are other articles from business oriented sites with more info. I just picked that one because it was the first one I saw. I originally said "getting out of the x86 desktop GAME" because the roadmap for the next years is basically set. Quantum computing will begin to replace our current tech in about a decade.

>gee is one person
Fuck you.
>>55245935
Do you have an aftermarket cooler for the 6350? If you are just looking for an incremental improvement I would say just overclock the cpu you have and hold out to see how zen shapes up. If your main purpose for the upgrade is gaming those extra 2 threads won't make a massive difference, it's only really worth it if you have some workload that would benefit from more threads over higher clocks.
>>55246070
He said 8370e. The 8320e is hardly an upgrade from a 6300 for gaming anyway. Unless he plans do do rendering.
>>55246106
>cpu
>for gaming
wew
>>55246053
they have a huge stock ready
>>55246093
No aftermarket cooler; plus I don't want to bother with the OC. PS4 and XB1 can use up to eight threads. I want eight threads, and a lot of games see improvement with up to eight threads. For 20 bucks, why not? FX-6350 is a nice little CPU though.. want it?
>>55246115
So why bother with the "upgrade" in the first place. Only proving my point more.
>>55246093
>hold out to see how zen shapes up
Also I probably won't get a new mobo until I buy that HMD in a few years
>>55246144
So are you just speaking for him like a retard? Stop being so autistic.
>>55246151
holy shit it really is summer
>>55245684
>The 1080 draws 180w from the 8 pin power connector, there's another 75w from the PCIe connection. 180w + 75w = 255w.
The 1080 only draws 175-180W (average, not counting sub-second spiking) under load from a total allowed budget of 225W.
> PCIe connection = 75W
> each 6-pin = 75W
> each 8-pin = 150W
That's still enough in a ~300 mm^2 die that thermal throttling is definitely a realistic concern though.
>>55246069
>they are conceding it to AMD
Literally nothing in that article said that. Businesses aren't charities, Intel won't concede anything just because they feel bad for AMD.
>who will end up with a 50% market share in a few years.
How can you be this delusional?
>>55246163
>The 1080 only draws 175-180W
citation needed, nvidia's specs are not to be trusted under any circumstance since they've been exposed as bullshitting these numbers countless times
>>55246161
People who say summer are the people that came during the eternal summer. Just like newfags are the ones that say newfags and the millennials call other millennials millennials.
Someone that can't understand how conversations flow on anynomous boards obviously haven't been here very long.

>Someone that can't understand how conversations flow on anynomous boards obviously haven't been here very long.
exactly the point being made against you, summerfriend.
>>55246215
Whatever makes you feel better.
>>55246182
The 180W limit seems pretty legit, if not really all that great for a 256b card with a 312 mm^2 GPU.
>>55241028
When am I actually going to be able to buy this fucking thing? Will stores have it on the 29th, or will I have to wait another couple of weeks after that, or some bullshit?
>>55246179
>Intel won't concede anything just because they feel bad for AMD
There's no more high profit margins for Intel like these last few years. They are moving in other directions.
>How can you be this delusional?
Why do you think the Brexit vote was 49 to 51? Or the popular vote in US presidental elections is often only 5%-10% different? This is a natural outcome if a duopoly has two competetive members, and like I said, the x86-x64 market will have matured with the launch of Zen.
>>55246220
>There's no more high profit margins for Intel like these last few years.
You typically don't abandon a revenue stream prematurely though. As long as a market exists, Intel will cater to it. Shifting towards the cloud and ultra portables does not exclude them from making desktop CPUs. There's still a whole host of people who need high powered desktops, gamers aren't the only ones.
>This is a natural outcome if a duopoly has two competetive members
That's a big if.
Thanks for reminding. Will be getting it, hopefully round 200€ price. Maybe 20-30 more for us eurofags.
What's the point of the 8GB 480? 99% of games don't go over 4GB. And the 480 is too weak to "futureproof".
>>55246395
Crossfire. Also Doom uses more than 4gigs with some settings. 480 is said to run it at Ultra 60fps stable.
>>55246395
It's to keep dumbfag consumers from thinking that the anemic GTX 1060 with 6GB (192b) is a better card.
>>55246395
Probably for the current CF method. I'm tempted for the extra 30USD, but considering mulitgpu will have a shared memory pool soon, it's not worth it.
>>55241028
Reminder of what? Reminder to not give a shit?
Why does the next gen version of the 7850 have so much hype?
>>55245757
What? Why do you say this
>>55245857
What the h*ck
What's the original of that thing
>>55246458
Because it's really more like the 7870 getting released for $200 instead of $350 and the 7850 going for $150 instead of $250.
> and the 680/670 were just announced for $700/$450 instead of $500/$400
> and the 645/650/660 didn't exist, and the 640 was called the 660
>>55246595
It only has a 256-bit bus, and a heavy OC on the core will starve it for bandwidth.

>>55246622
Not really, 7770 = 480
7970 = Fury
7870 = 490
But the 470 will be good.
>>55245749
>stock 980 i.e. overclocked 970 performance.
for $200 that's still pretty nice, and it has more VRAM than the 970 at full speed, plus better dx12.
>>55246649
no, I stand by my analogy -
> 7770/7750 = 123 mm^2 ~= Polaris 11
> 7870/7850 = 213 mm^2 ~= Polaris 10
> 7970/7950/7870 = 352 mm^2 <= Mini Vega?
> 7990 = 352 mm^2 * 2 >= Big Vega?
I've got a 7970. Is it still worth upgrading to the 480?
>>55246789
I have a 380X and I'm waiting for benchmarks, then probably Vega.
>>55246789
I'd go for something at least as powerful as a 1070, famalam, even if for you that means waiting for cut down Vega.
Reduced power and maybe a 30-40% speed bump aren't a lot to write home about.
>>55241028
>All these people talking about heat and fan blower
Really? Are there seriously people that don't buy Third party cards with non reference coolers?
I mean, I can understand buying a reference card if you're going to put it on water. But other than that, you'd have to be retarded.
>>55245040
>buying reference
What.
>>55246608
What if I told you anonkun, that WAS the original
http://www.cryorig.com/af41.php
>>55245111
I'm totally buying a good 480 with extra pins and cooling, but I still don't think cf/sli a good idea. Maybe at some point down the road.
Buy a 1070 once the prices chill out.
>>55246955
Reading between the lines, AMD's going with same-package CF starting with Navi.
Better hope that they get the software side of things straightened out before 2018.
