When do the non-reference coolers start being revealed and released?
Also are all of the 'rumors' of the 480 using too much power and being MEH real?
My R9 280x just broke, so that is decent timing i guess.
Will there be drivers?
i just want to see the benchmarks, then wait 1 or 2 years, then buy it
but im somehow hyped for the release
why do I always see only the blower version everywhere
would expect MSI, asus, sapphire to show us their goods
>>55272281
prolly amd stopping them from doing so.
>>55270345
Mid-July for custom cards.
And the card is entirely meh, about 390X performance, just using a lot less power. But then it was never advertised as anything more than that. Retards and false flaggers trying to talk it up so that they can say it's a massive disappointment when it doesn't match the 1070 for half the price.
>>55272281
>>55272306
Non-reference cards have already been shown to people in the know (the guy who runs OcUK has confirmed that he's seen them), but I guess they're holding them back so as not to put people off buying the reference model at launch.
Rumors that are real:
>Less than 100w~ at the stock 1266 Mhz
>8gb model isnt 250, it is 230 dollars
>it stays at abou 69-71 under full load (stress test)
>The blower design isnt shit this time
>The the 1060 ish mhz one on the leaked benchmaeks was an early sample and underperformed, but the retail one will be 1266 mhz out of the box with overclocking up to 1.3-1.4 ghz
>Soft touch matte plastic on top like a nexus 5 or a thinkpad
>It outperforms the 980 in arbitrary stuff and benchmarks were none of the cards have any kind of optimization let alone im dx12
Unconfirmed rummors:
>The ones that can clock to 1.6 ghz and stuff are being binned for the AIB partners
>At said clocks it is on par with a 980ti
I dont even play games other than counter strike go and light stuff but it looks good for rendering and compute.
Why would anyone buy a reference card?
And why the fuck would anyone pre order a graphics card?
AMD can't even put out a competitive offering as per usual. Guess I'll just get a Founder's Edition GTX 1080 before the excessive demand drives the price up even further.

>they're holding them back so as not to put people off buying the reference model at launch.
AMD is worse than Nvidia in their greed sometimes. Now we're going to have a bunch of people taking apart their cards so they can throw on a custom third party cooler.
Are pre release drivers gimped to enforce the NDA is that a thing they actually do? Can we expect a significant difference? Reviewers are saying they get like 2 days to do their test with the release driver.
Will there be DVI support on some custom models? I dont have DP on my monitor and would like 144hz so a simple adapter wont do.
>>55272965
...Is that wrong for people to disassemble the cards?
>worse than OC'd 970

>>55272965
I'm certain it'll be a lot easier to do than this beast was, so why complain?
>>55273150
No, it's wrong to prevent the third parties from making a better cooler and selling them attached to the card.
Fucking hell i cant wait.
It's the only thing I'm missing from my build. They can't release this Shit fast enough

Nah, just comparing two different cuck cards.
Even by cuck card standards the 480 is pathetic. Can;t even compete with last generation's mid range cuck card offerings?
Pathetic.
SNAKE OIL
MEME CARD
So is the 480 as good as it seems?
A card like that at $200 seems too good to be true. What's the drawback?
>>55273436
They're not preventing them from doing anything. The custom models will be out within a couple of weeks. You'll probably be able to buy a custom 480 before you can buy most custom models of the Pascal cards thanks to Nvidia's fucking paper launch.
>>55270309
I can't wait for all the "fucking pajeet tricked me AGAIN" threads when it under performs and has a 20% failure rate. AMD fags will never learn.
I want to play some modded Skyrim on it
but in the summer, during these 33°C temps?
that feels just wrong
I am guessing I am waiting for the fall, will have gtx1060 to compare
>>55273644
It's pretty good when comparing to older standards.
Other than that it's a pretty average card, however that doesn't mean its bad.
>>55273662
I'm playing it with the Requiem mod, shit's cash, having a lot of fun
>>55270325
why?
>>55273644
No, it's just another meme card
>>55272352
Alright, thanks dude
I dont think I can wait any longer I might just get the reference
It seems it will finally perform between a 390 and 390x. Plenty for always >60fps at 1080p. Given the price of the 1070 I will definitely upgrade my 560ti to a RX480. My fist AMD in a long time but nvidia when full jew on us.
>>55273508
>competitive offering
To what? The 1070/1080? That's not what they were aiming for doofus. Right now Nvidia has NOTHING to offer in that price range. I repeat NOTHING.
Anyone have any input on how bad the reference card cooling will be? I have everything I need for my build but the GPU and I don't feel like waiting another week+ if there won't be a big difference.
>>55270309
I will buy one just because it looks sexy
>>55273106
yes
>>55273800
It's a 110W card. Cooling is not an issue.
>>55273800
afaik on stock it runs around 70C and is pretty silent. in 3 days you will know for sure.
Should I go for the 8gb one if I want to play modded games (such as skyrim, STALKER etc) aswell as open world games with maxed field of view at 1080p?
or would 4gb be enough for Full HD?
>>55273827
>wattage = heat dissipation
What.
>>55273908
if the truth is $200 vs $230 then I see no reason why not
>>55273908
Get the 8GB. If you like such games and modded you will need as much memory as possible if not now for sure in the very near future.
Kyle Bennett was right once again.
HardOCP > /g/nerds
>>55273978
Go away Kyle nobody believes you since you got burn noticed by AMD
>>55273978
Whether you like it or not this GPU satisfies the needs of 90% of the gamers at a very reasonable price. I bet my ass that nvidia is scrambling to release the 1060 as soon as possible but my guess is that it won't be sooner than October. By that time AMD will have regained a sizable chunk of the midrange market share.
>>55272281
because if nvidia or amd goes full alpha and create the best of the best of coolers what aibs will sell then?
Not sure why people are getting so excited. The 8gb cards will likely be around $300 for the first few months due to price gouging by retailers. And aftermarket cards will obviously cost more. This isn't even taking into account taxes and supply problems that usually happen. Its like nobody on this board has ever lived through a GPU launch before.
>>55273978
kyle the same idiot that said amd wont have a clock bigger than 850 mhz?
or that raja will do a coup and get rtg and leave?
lol i rather believe wccftech or videocardz
>>55270309
I'll probably wait for the aftermarket design cards, or grab a couple of water blocks for the reference card and rip it apart.
>>55274197
>I'll probably wait for the aftermarket design cards
Good luck waiting until September
>>55274197
you should wait for the 6+8 pin version with the beast mode
the 6 pins is clearly asking for power when you overclock it it wont go far enough
>>55273611
The power consumption is much better compared to last gen cards.
The competition is in sales with nvidia, not in performance with other cards or whatever you might be imagining.
>>55270309
Overhypped shit, pic very related
Getting really tired of these threads.
Polaris is supposed to carry the next iteration of GCN stream processors targeting a mainstream audience at a range of $100 to $300.
It was never meant to compete in the higher performance range.
The only real, and I type it loosely, benchmark we have of any Polaris card is the RX480 with Raja at Computex. Doing some numbers here and there, we can expect it to compete or maybe even surpass the 390 and the 970 for $200.
Recent events at E3 show the RX470 and the RX460. The former being cut down Polaris 10 judging from the PCB and the RX460 being Polaris 11. In other words, the RX480 is the highest performing card in the Polaris lineup.
Since they mentioned a range of $100-$300, it puts the RX460 at a $100 and the RX470 at about $150. The latter one is very interesting. If you remember, the 7850 was a pretty cute overclocker and it was cut Pitcarn(Pitcarn PRO). If the RX470 follows, then we might have a nice card that can match the RX480 with a little OC and $50 less, making it a killer at its price.
The RX480 on the other hand is definitely within the last generation of lower high end cards, possibly surpassing them. Benchmarks point to above 390x performance, but I'm personally skeptical about it. It will be another amazing price to performance card.
If you're running anything on or above the 970 or the 390, then I would be waiting for something like Vega or fatter Pascal. The truth is that while the 1070 is an amazing card for its price, it doesn't deliver all of the high frames at 1440p or 60fps on 4K. This lineup of Pascal is very disappointing and it feels like nothing new. Look at the true Pascal line, they're monstrous chips with HBM and all that good shit. We are stuck with these chips that aren't really anything new except a little better than the 980Ti.
Also, reminder that you should WAIT FOR BENCHMARKS. 3 days left, fuck.
>>55270309
I considered upgrading from my 290, but I don't have any trouble running games right now so I won't.
>>55274299

Also any jelly AMDrone cuck that tries to rebute this needs to fuck off, one: there's no argument for superiority, two: AYYMD opinion dis""Carded""...

>>55275481
>>55274134

Ay can some Nvidiot tell me where this Processor Clock in the bottom graph in ASUS's GPU Tweak is coming from, it sure as hell aint my i5. I mean, GPU clock has its own fucking graph, wth is this "Processor"
Any word of predictions on how this card will handle 3440x1440? I currently have a GTX 770 and it's fine in most cases, but a lot of newer games are starting to struggle at anything but low.
>>55275777
Guy at sapphire continuously emphasizes that "It'll be the perfect 1080p card" and said that he wouldn't say anything about resolutions bigger than that because of the NDA.
Fair to say that 1440p 60fps will probably be decent but it'll be no good for maxing out games (Which you should never really care about doing anyway).
>>55275824
Maxing out doesn't bother me as long as the game doesn't look like ass and run inconsistently. Guess I will have to wait for benchmarks for a definitive answer.
Im going to buy a refference on and put a after market cooler on it later...
But will I loose my warranty?
>>55275892
I would asume 50-60 fps on 1440p at max settings in more demanding games
>>55275166
I actually like this pasta.
>>55275177
You get the RX480 obviously. Both are going to give you a huge boost in performance.
>>55273508

>>55272368
>>At said clocks it is on par with a 980ti

>>55276221
It's having trouble getting to the cucky 970 standards even. It's a cuck card through and through.
Why does 3 days feel like forever?
My predicament
my 144hz monitor doesn't have display port
the 480s coming out dont have DVI-D yet and I'd need an adapter
Do I A) Wait for 480s with DVI-D ports to come out (God knows how long that'll take)
or
B) Purchase a 1070 once the MSRP goes down (hopefully once the 480s are released this will happen)
>>55276512
>my 144hz monitor doesn't have display port
Mistake.
>>55276512
C) Buy an active display port adapter.
>>55273644

i could do that buy i rly don't want to, if the 1070s do go down to msrp i could get a 1070 instead of a 480 for 80 more dollars
I'm only excited because it's gonna drop the price of the 970 and 980.
Thanks amd can't wait when the benchmarks say it's worse than a stock 970.
>>55272057

Question: Why would anyone buy the 8GB version? No games except Shadow of Mordor (an unoptimized piece of shit) go above 4GB.
>>55276668

kek
>>55276753
Many games approach 4GB now, it will be 50% of games at 4GB+ in a year.
>>55272352
This I definitely only expect GTX 970 / R9 390 performance at somewhere between 75-150W max power draw due to the power connector and pci bus.
Also it being ~$250 for the 8GB, I may get one just to have it to hold me over as the 1070s are way too overpriced for the point where you can get one with an extra power connector.
Plus when sit does finally get mainstream for DX12, I'll just use it for a MULTI GPS setup.

In raw performance there probably won't be a huge difference between all of those cards but it's generally a good idea to always get newer architecture. Personally, I would wait at least a month or two, see what the AIB 480s look like and see if any 1060/ti information comes out before buying.

>>55277418
Its pretty much a 390 that has a 100w lower TDP at realistically $250.
>>55277418
this. i checked the prices of new AIB 970's and 390's here in the uk and they're going for as cheap as £215 with the 970 being slightly cheaper but the 8gb AIB 480 price is already on display at a couple of sites being just under £250. there's honestly no reason to spend that extra ~£30 on minimal performance increase for the 480, and most 970's OC to ~980 performance anyway.

980 new are around $400 right now, 1070 msrp is $380
the 1070 is 35-40%~ faster than 980
>>55277841
$100 cheaper but ok
>>55277888
housefire? do you have 1 stock fan or something? retard
>>55277906
Yep and you get what you pay for, a cheap shitty overheating architecture that's far less efficient than Nvidia's.
>endless threads
I WANT OFF THIS RIDE
LET IT BE 29 ALREADY
>new amd card coming out
>nvidia fangirls think their opinion is relevant
Why is this?
>>55272645
Because this time around jews aren't trying to charge $100 extra for the worst cooler
Nvidia a shit.
1080p max settings gaymen is all one really needs and this is the perfect card for it.
Would the Polaris 11 card be able to run CSGO at 1440p and 144hz?
>>55273106
It looks like the reference will ship with a display port to dvi cable
>>55277832
it over lays on your desktop? wtf kinda bloat botnet shit is that. Wow
>>55277940
For at least the next couple of weeks it will be like this. /g/ on the 29th will be flooded with threads like these so you had better just filter as best you can.
JUST GET RX480 AND WAIT FOR HBM2 PRICE DROP IN 2 years TO FOR 4k Monitors
Just use the money saved right now buying that cheap AMD for that next tech and monitor.
Then Im back being an Nvidiot in 2 years for future proofing.
>>55273908
The extra $30 for future proofing is worth it
God damn you shitposting faggots make me want to kill nyself. I feel like I'm on/v/
>>55277989
There it is folks, it's come to the point where AMD fans have resorted to using the exact same arguments that console users have used for the past 15 years.
>>55278080
yeah good goy, spend $700 on a card that can't even do 4k gaming
>>55277989
>Max settings
This card won't come close to hitting Witcher 3 or Syndicate on max settings.
Shit, a 1070 barely hits W3 max settings and can't hit 60 on Syndicate.
This 970 performing shitbox isn't going to assure 1080p/60 now, let alone in the future.
>>55277841
AMD and NVIDIA calculate TDP differently.
>>55278045
>muh future proofing
It's still a sidegrade of the 390. Even with 8GB, your "future proofing" will only last 1 year.
>>55278080
What? Console kiddies dont get max settings or 1080p
Theyre literally just mindless sheep
>>55278001
It overlays over games but you can set it to overlay on your desktop if you want to do desktop recording with shadowplay. It's like the steam overlay. Simple and easy to use but saves you from tabbing out every time. The instant replay and stream features are really good. I've been using them a LOT recently especially the stream feature. I can invite anyone to play co-op with me or even take the controls and play as me with no performance hit at all?
>>55278142
Ignore the question mark. Meant to put a full stop.
>>55278112
>I need the top tier GPU or my experience is bad!
>Waah I'm a dirty graphics whore!
>>55278215
Sounds like an xbox is right up your alley.
>>55278229
>capped 30fps
That's a different issue entirely.
I like playing CS at 75fps
MINERS OUT REEEEEEE
>>55278253
GPU mining is a thing of the past.
You're better off buying ASIC's than any GPU.
>>55278229
This. If I was a normie casual and I wanted an entry into VR like amd are advertising this card as, and I had a choice to build a new budget pc with this gpu for like ~$800 or buy an entry level VR experience with the PS4K or Xbox Scorpio for $400/450 I'd obviously go for the console. The main reason for PC gaming is the fact that you get a much, much better experience than what a console offers but it also comes at a cost. If you're on a tight budget then just go for the damn console which will last your for like 5 years compared to a budget build which will not only cost more but last half as long before you start running into bottlenecks here and there whilst the consoles get better and better optimisation with age.
>>55278236
What HZ is your monitor?
>>55278309
75
I get ~240fps in game.
>>55276237
It shits on the 980
>>55278299
Console is a waste of money. Lets be honest here.
I dont get it
What the additional 4GB memory for?
Higher resolution than 1080p?
>>55278069
video card shitposting on /g/ is actually worse than anything on /v/ because of the blatant lies in every other post.
>>55278374
Depends on your budget. If you've only got like $300 to spend then a console is what you'll have to settle with.
>>55278375
For when you need it?
My skyrim uses the full 3gb of VRAM i have now at 1080p, if i had more RAM i would have more mods
>>55273106
display port to dvi would work fine?
>>55278432
if you have a $300 budget your best option would be to find a Q6600 and an old midrange video card and pirate everything.
>>55278375
because you might as well, also marketing versus the 970
>>55278432
If you've only got like $300 you can't even afford a fucking console properly.
Add the cost of a year of XBL onto the Xbone and you're up above $300, add PSN to a PS4 and you're just under $400.
Or you could buy an i5-2400 ex-business dell for $100-120 and add an RX 470 to it
>>55278299
>>55278374
the Zen APUs with HBM2 used in the next gen consoles will probably match the minimum VR experience we have today with the 390/970/RX 480
>>55278459
>>55278481
Thanks
Oh its just for mods and AMD marketing, then I guess I can skip it and just get the 4gb since Im just getting the rx480 as a temp fix since my gtx 280 died before migrating to 4k
$200 is totally worth it as a band-aid fix yet performs like 970 or even better
>>55278515
just pay the 50 bucks, also apparently only the 8gb models are launching to start, probably because if it sells well they won't even really mass produce a 4gb model
>>55278485
Essentially:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351766237062?
+
RX 480 4gb
+
SATA to Molex
=
$340 VR gaming
Match that with your shithouse consoles
>>55278485
You can get a refurbished xbox being sold my microsoft on amazon for $240.
>>55275166
This pasta is hilariously dumb. I love it
>>55272368
unconfirmed ones are bullshit, and there's a conflicting test that has the 480 at 78c under load (albeit in crossfire)
>>55274515
coming from a 7870 its been plenty good these past 4 years. 1080 60 and ultra/high. Only cucks buy rehashed bullshit. Anything less than 1440p at 60-100fps is cuck material. Getting a 490 dec and mabye amd cpu.
>>55278641
http://wccftech.com/radeon-rx-480-crossfire-benchmarks-leaked/ nevermind turned out to be 87c at absolute max load while in crossfire, but it's probably air obstruction from the 2 cards being next to each other, so the 82c one is probably a more accurate max
>>55278659
>cuck
>>55278679
Like people keep using the world shill? Even though the word has nothing to do with marketing and refers to a called upon audience plant in a magicians show?
>>55278563
That CPU isn't good enough for VR. I have a 2500k that is starting to show some age in various Vive titles and Rift's tracking solution needs even more CPU.
>>55278600
$242 and it comes with the absolutely useless original controller (i own one, they're shit) and only 3 months of warranty.
Not worth it, senpai.
It's also still not that much cheaper. I have a Q9650 dell that you can pick up for $100 or less and it's only missing SATA3. SATA to Molex and an RX 470 and you're beating the PS4 in performance for less than the cost of a refurbished xbone + 3 months of XBL.
>>55278734
How is it starting to show its age?
Remember, PSVR is going to be 60fps most of the time.
It's also not out yet, so when it finally is you might be able to pick up a higher spec sandy or ivy bridge ex-business dell/hp/lenovo/whatever for the same price.
Shit, by the time PSVR is out you'll probably be able to buy a used 480.
>>55278765
>PSVR is going to be 60fps most of the time.
They aren't retarded enough to do that you need 90hz for gaming VR
>>55278702
Some people use it correctly, for people on /g/ who are:
>Hi! I used to be AMD, but after it killed my family I am switching to nVidia! nVidia, the gamer's choice!
>>55278784
Oh, they absolutely will be retarded enough. Sony allowed a 60FPS minimum, now that's what dumbass devs will aim for.
>>55278765
People with the same GPU I have with a better processor have way smoother performance. VR requires a lot of CPU power.
PSVR is pushing a significantly lower amount of pixels in games that are graphically way less demanding with less physics.
>>55278784
PSVR uses reprojection.
>>55278852
>PSVR uses reprojection.
still pantsu on head retarded
wait, AMD has affinity GPU for using one GPU per eye
THE PS NEO IS GOING TO BE A DUAL GPU SYSTEM, PROBABLY DUAL APU FOR BETTER GAMING PERFORMANCE AND STREAMING
ADORED WAS RIGHT!!!
>>55278679
cucked (love of being dominated or submissed) into spending unnecessary amounts of money on an inferior or slightly higher performance due to a strong brand figure you look up to. Yes cuck is most definitely the word.
>>55273680
>Requiem mod
Shit son. Good choice.
I'm expecting it to perform like a 980 no more or less and most of the leaks point to it being in that ballpark in game if not in those benchmarking programs even without proper drivers. ~$240 for the 8gb with a better cooler. Really now I don't see what more you'd want at that price.
>>55278876
You just proved his image to be correct.
A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckold
On the internet now it is used as "fool" or "person I disagree with", but it's an actual word.with an actual meaning.
>>55278876
cuckolding is when another guy fucks your girl with your consent, not a domination fetish.
>>55278924
Sounds great except the 390 AIB 8GB ($250) right now are going for less than the 480 AIB 8GBs (ref is $240) will and the only thing you're getting for the money is better efficiency and temps.
>>55274268
those things just look like they hum like a transformer room
>>55278957
Also wrong. It's when another man is fucking your wife, period. Doesn't matter if you like it or even know. A man with a cheating wife is a cuckold, nothing more nothing less.
>>55278374
The ps4k is using a rx480 and will be around 399 though
>>55279044
Man, Sony is destroying Xbox these days. I wish they could translate that strength to their smartphones though...
If I want to eventually crossfire two of these, should I get 4gb models or 8gb?
>>55279077
The new xbox is using a 490 though.
Ps4k: 480 + 8 core jaguar = 4.4 tflops @ 399
Xbox Scorpio: 490 + 8 core zen = 6.2 tflops @ ~450
It's been a massive unveiling for xbox fans knowing they finally have a worthy 360 successor. I'm sure sony are probably a bit shaken up too. It's essentially the reverse of the xbox/ps4 situation now with the refresh consoles.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-xbox-one-project-scorpio-spec-analysis
>>55279104
You should get the 8gb even if you're not going to crossfire, modern games are getting way too RAM hungry for comfort.
>>55279133
God I can't wait to see Halo 5 in 120 FPS fuuuuuug
A bit unrelated, but how noticable is the difference between 60 fps/hz and 144 fps/hz? None of my monitors have ever been above 60
>>55279135
Are there even at least 5 games that are ram hungry games that doesnt include modding?
>>55279155
You used CRT before for gaming
Fluidity of motion is great compared just 60fps, around 90fps is considered perfect for me back then.
>>55279133
So why wouldn't Sony react to this?
>>55279166
Nope. Literally all games run fine on old as shit 2gb cards like the 750 ti. Games like gta 5 look like vram hogs but I think it just uses as much vram as the card has because I've seen videos of it using nearly all the 2gb in 2gb video cards but without issues and I've also seen it use up nearly 4gb vram at the same exact settings without any issue. The game probably just renders further with the more vram your card has.
Also
>inb4 mirrors edge
The hyper setting was included specifically for the 1070 and 1080 and it uses upto 7.5 gb vram at that setting but when you drop it one setting down to high it barely uses over 3gb vram.
Most games don't even come close to using 4gb vram unless you're playing at 1440p or 4k.
>>55279104
Get a single card and sell it and upgrade when Vega/1080ti comes out if anything. SLI and Crossfire are trash. It's one of the few constantly spouted memes that is actually true. Always go single card.
