So I took /g/'s advice and sold my 970 in preparation of the 480 but thanks to the embarrassing leaked benchmarks that have just surfaced that are already leading to AMD's downfall I'm now left without a graphics card. Should I just swallow my pride by crawling back to Nvidia and buy another 970 or risk it all again by trying a 390?

Grab a 1070 or try and get a deal on a 980 or 980ti if you can't afford it. Worst case scenario get another 970.

Don't buy a 390 unless you need a graphics card AND a reliable heat method for heating your home.

I honestly feel bad for you. See AMD shills, this is what you've done? You made an honest man lose money.

was kind of hoping to grab a gtx 960 4gb just to see what i can do but they're such underpowered garbage cards even for 1080p, it doesn't seem worth it.
>>
>>55295553
490 is going to be in between 1070 and 1080, if it scales out in line with the 480

We dont know anything about it except that Vega10 apparently is the smaller of Vega11 (the reverse of P11 being the smaller of P10), has the same shaders/tmu/rops as the FuryX. We don't know if the 490 is a cut down full Vega, we don't even actually know if Vega has two different chips, and judging from Nvidia's launch availability disaster just at 320mm die sizes it's a safe bet that ~600mm2 limit chips will be far away from now and for a heavy pocket.
My guess is that "Vega" will be the 490 and something above it, perhaps they will use the 490X branding?, and the Fury successor will come as Navi next year to cope with both 14nm and HBM2 yields.

You got trolled hard. It's been common knowledge for months that the RX 480 would be a sidegrade at best for anyone with a GTX970/R9 290 or above. AMD themselves said that they were targetting the mainstream market, which means performance comparable to upper mid-tier last gen cards, aka GTX 970 or R9 290/390.

Why do you want no competition? Nvidya would have been more than happy to keep the prices of the 970, etc where they were for the next 3 years. The only reason you can get a $280 970 is because of the 480, and competition. Nvidiya would love to charge $1k for a 1080, and you would have no choice.

Hey there, I'm not biased at all (I own a graphics card) but I'd advise you to always buy Nvidia™, because Nvidia™ runs faster, cooler, and gives more frames and GHz when overclocked. Nvidia™ let's me play games The Way it's Meant to be Played, and with Nvidia's innovative Game works™ development framework powering over 90% of up and coming titles this year, you'd be a fool to even consider a card from an inferior company. I could talk to you about drivers (amd has none, not one driver) but you're probably already sold by now. Buy any Nvidia™ card at any price point and you will NOT be disappointed!

The polish shit site got a shit binned chip but at least this shows the realism of overclocking the RX 480 as other leaked sources got cherry picked ones doing 15-20% OC. A 5% OC is much more in line with previous generation safe overclocks. If a majority of the binned RX 480's only do 5% we are going to have a lot of sore assed AMD fans wonder why they can not make their cards OC past the performance of a 970 OC'd.

I will always buy Radeon™ because Gaming (has) Evolved™. AMD are also pioneers of innovative new technologies like GPUOpen™, Mantle™ and the highest quality driver to ever grace GNU/Linux. When I boot up with a brand new AMD™ Radeon™, I can experience the game just like gaming has evoled. AMD™ also delivers a far more silkysmooth experience. AMD Radeon™ is also cost efficient. A graphic card is the most expensive device in your house. Refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, dish washers, lights, etc all cost significantly more than a graphic card. Which is why AMD™ puts gamers first by ensuring that their gaming experience is of the highest quality while looking out for gamers by giving them the most value in their yearly bill. At this point in time, there's really no reasons to consider an Nvidia graphic card at all. I tried one one time, it caused so much errors that it bluescreened. It also consumed so much power that it gave on an EMP and destroyed the rest of my computer. AMD™ also pioneered how useless GPGPU is with OpenCL™. Years ago, everyone thought GPGPU, CUDA™, and OpenCL™ were the future. Now, AMD™ has removed those useless features from their GPUs and increased efficiency. Now you can save thousands a year in electricity thanks to AMD™ ensuring that useless features like GPGPU are "optimized" for gamers. It's quite clear that OP's an Nvidia shill trying to convince you to settle on something less than Gaming Evolved™. AMD™ is the only real way to play games. We have seen recently that they offer incredible libraries for software developers like AMD GPUOpen. He is probably too poor to afford the AMD Radeon and can not afford to play any games Gaming Evolved™. Don't be a poor gamer with bad drivers and a huge power bill. Play games with the AMD™ Radeon™: Gaming Evolved™!

You sat there and spent some of your short time on this planet doing this. Always remember that.

If you actually listened to /g/, you would be buying both.

I'm pretty sure this is just another thinly veiled nvidia shill thread.

>>55294687
That's what you get for being a fucking idiot who listens to people on a Icelandic crocheting website. No one had any way of knowing how powerful this card is going to be. Now be a good boy and buy the RX480 as a sidegrade and enjoy the additional 4.5GB of VRAM.

Absolutely not. That chip will stay good for quite some time.

Isn't PhysX only on nVidia? Would I be able to activate it somehow on this AMD card? I want to be able experience Borderlands 2 all over again with all the new particle effects. Can you do this or would I be getting memed by buying this card?

Unreliable Polish benchmarks were released and Nvidia fans are treating the benchmarks as the gospel.

Sitting here laughing at all the retards selling their high end cards for next to nothing on ebay in preparation for the 480.
>>
>>55297951
That review is so trustworthy that they fucked up on their own chart.
>>
>>55294687
I hope you made money on this transaction. An outright downgrade seems like a strange decision.

>>55294687

I'm putting my 290in the closet for the 480,

I plan to use it for like 6 months until the vega 10 chip comes out. Why? because the 290 is fucking hot as shit and uses tons of electricity. It's like 10$ extra a month.

If I were to wait a year the card would nearly pay for itself.

Good job /g/, you did it.

There's no way to activate PhysX on an AMD card, however the goofy particle effects you'd see in BL2 is hardly worth the N/v/idia price tag.
