Why can't AMD ever just win for once, lads? Why is everything they release a complete fucking disaster? Are we doomed to pay the Nvidia tax forever?
>>55299673
Because Nvidia and Intel are much bigger companies with much more money. Of course their products are going to be better. Get a fucking job or deal with AMD's shitty products.
Honestly if you have a card that's as good as or better than the 480 at this point then you don't NEED to get a new GPU.
If you don't have a card or yours isn't as good then you don't NEED to get anything other than an RX 480.
Basicall there is no reason to buy Nvidia cards anymore.
>>55299673
>not even out yet
>no real benchmarks
>/g/ shits on it

>no one ever mentions the card again
Everytime. The same happened with the 1080 series because no one on /g/ can ever deal with the facts and everyone just wants to shitpost
>>55299699
We already have jobs. There are a lot of AMD faggots bitching "where is muh 1080 killer" i.e. vega. AMD is trying to make a quick buck with the RX 480 but it sucks for all us that have the higher tier cards from the previous two gens. At least we get to laugh our asses off when the benchmarks reveal the 480 is uninspiring and it's only good point is it's price.
>>55299673
AMD f'd themselves when they bought ATI and incurred massive debt. It was all downhill from there.
>>55299716
We have benchmarks though. It performs like a 970, or a stock 980 at best. People said it was going to be Fury performance.
>>55299716
>B-b-benchmarks don't count if they don't say what I want!!!
Face it, the card is shit. You've been able to buy a 970 for the same money for ages. Nobody wants that performance in 2016.
>>55299838
Benchmarks don't count until the product is actually out and the NDAs are lifted.
You see; respectable sites (ones that do reliable benchmarks) stick to the NDAs because they want to keep a good relationship with AMD.
So ones that don't are automatically unreliable.
Same is true for nvidia, I don't trust ANYTHING that comes out before the card's NDA about nvidia cards.
The main reason is that pre-release 'leaks' often exaggerate performance.
>>55299819
>People said it was going to be Fury performance
Said no one ever.
We knew since the fucking beginning it would sit between the 970 and 980.
>>55300162
Bullshit. Plenty of AMD shills said it was going to be Fury-ish performance. It's only in the past week when it's become clear that it's another failure that they've revised that down to 970+.

also, non refererence rx480 when??
>>55300569
That image shows fury performance. Its now been backtracked from by that site. Reasonable to claim OC speeds approaching 980 ti from that image. I don't get your post.
The only way AMD is competing right now is price. Extrapolate from a 480 and a 44CU 490 up against the 1070 would have to be $300 to be viable.

Yeah, exactly.

But you made my point basically.
But hey, there is basically no reason to buy Nvidia cards anymore.

I will always buy Nvidia™ because I only play games The Way It's Meant to be Played™. Nvidia also pioneers innovative new technologies like PhysX™, Gameworks™ and the highest quality driver to ever grace Windows. When I boot up with a brand new Nvidia™ Geforce™, I can experience the game just like it's meant to be played. Nvidia™ also delivers a far more silkysmooth experience. Nvidia Geforce™ is also very power efficient. A graphic card is the most power hungry device in your house. Refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters, dish washers, lights, etc all use significantly less power than a graphic card. Which is why Nvidia™ 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 electrical bill. At this point in time, there's really no reason to consider an AMD graphic card at all. I tried one one time, it caused so much heat that it exploded. It also consumed so much power that it gave off an EMP and destroyed the rest of my computer. Nvidia™ also pioneered how useless GPGPU is with CUDA™. Years ago, everyone thought GPGPU, CUDA™, and OpenCL were the future. Now, Nvidia™ has removed those useless features from their GPUs and increased efficiency. Now you can save thousands a year in electricity thanks to Nvidia™ ensuring that useless features like GPGPU are "optimized" for gamers. It's quite clear that OP's an AMD shill trying to convince you to settle on something less than The Way It's Mean to be Played™. Nvidia™ is the only real way to play games. We have seen recently that they offer incredible libraries for software developers like Nvidia Gameworks. He is probably too poor to afford the Nvidia Geforce Experience and can not afford to play any games The Way It's Mean To be Played™. Don't be a poor gamer with bad drivers and a huge power bill. Play games with the Geforce™ Experience™:

Thats a crossfire benchmark on top, as CF indicated.
I think some idiots on either side misread those benchmark.
Ayymdrones thought this means a 200 card can out perform a 600
Nvidiots thought this is a bench mark amd fambois used to brag how it will kill the fury or titans.
Now we see a a bench that's what most who can actually read deduced, both sides are going crazy.

actually i expect it to give a good spank on 1070 on dx12...

this thread man. nvidiots in in buyers remorse mode?
Nobody ever said that the RX480 is above the 980 in terms of performance. Getting an 8gb card with _actual_ dx12 still is a good deal.
Tthe mentioned polish magazine compared a stock RX480 with an overclocked 970. No parameters where given, could be a minor OC or could be a G1 superclocked card.
That said, if there is a single game where 980 > RX480 I am sure some poor souls will jump on it why it is not 1070 levels of performance.
>>55301787
At least wait until it's out before getting mad
Nvidia shillers on /g/ have made people think it's shit before the benchmarks are even out, that's impressive.

Yeah, perhaps most blatantly with d44m and overwatch to a very slightly lesser extent. We also have proof of borderland shills and more.

It was never furyish people were recommending a sli config to beat a 1080 and be cheaper.
Honestly people are correct though games arent pushing the envelope anything. You dont need more than a 480 or two if you want larger resolutions.
I have no idea why anyone fanboys either company. Both Nvidia and AMD are needed to create competition. An Nvidia monopoly (and lets face it, it seems that only Nvidia could ever have a monopoly) would be bad for the end users.
I don't like Nvidias business practices, but I would buy one of their cards if it was the best option. I'd love to see AMD/Nvidia slugging it out, battling each other every step of the way to be the #1. Realistically, I can see Nvidia continuing to be superior until AMD is just not viable any more, which would be a real shame IMO.
>tfw 2 290's
480 still seems like a solid deal, though I'm more interested in the 490/490x.
Once again you retards from /v/ overhyped shit. If you weren't retarded then you should have known that it would be around the level of a 970 or 980.
For 1080p any card between $200-300 bucks is more than adequate. 200 series is still solid as is the 700 series.
>>55302431
Yes, that's certainly what happened.
AMDrones have themselves to blame for all this nvidia shilling. If you hadn't hyped up RX 480 to be as powerful as a Fury, you wouldn't have nearly as many people laughing about it losing to an aftermarket 970 in some polish benchmarks with little legitimacy. If you hadn't hyped up RX 480 to overclock to +1500 MHz, or even +1600 MHz, you wouldn't have nearly as many people laughing about the supposed bad overclocking of the card.
This is what happens when you hype up a product. Set realistic expectations next time.
>>55302504

>mfw retards who think this level of performance at this price is some ground breaking tech breakthrough by amd
all of this was to be expected by people who actually knew about shrinking process nodes and price per wafer. it's nothing special. nvidia will be able to match this 480 for about the same price and it still won't be anything special.
yes, it's good for its price but it'll be a bottom of the barrel offering come next year when the enthusiast cards come out and devs start building their games to take advantage of those new cards just like we're seeing with mirror's edge catalyst and it's absurd requirements to run the game on hyper settings. even a 390 which is currently considered to be one of the best offerings for 1080p (alongside the 970) struggles with its 8gb vram on mirrors edge hyper settings by averaging under 50 fps. this just goes to show that as devs start catering (and because of nvidia/amd asking them to) for the new cards, the 480, 970, 390, 1060 will become shitty cards for even 1080p. we all know that games are getting more demanding all the time and soon we'll all be forced to upgrade to 1070/490's which will become midrange offerings in a years time.
tldr; the 480 is good but not great and will be outdated in no time unless you enjoy medium settings.

there were dozens claiming it.
>>55302766
>You have been baited
Baited into what, exactly?
I've been around for enough GPU launches to know where to set my expectations. Many people were disappointed in the performance of 1080. I thought it was as expected. Many people were disappointed in the performance of 980. I thought it was as expected. There are still times when I'm caught off guard, but that's mainly in the positive direction.
>>55302716
funny thing is literally none of the other clickbait sites, even the shitty chink amd shill ones claimed it can hit 1.5/1.6 ghz. only wccftech claimed it. raja probably asked his indian buddies at wccftech to report it to make nvidia scared or something. indian's shill for each other so it is understandable.
>>55302811

>>55302856
AMD are the ones who need to produce something special to win people back. If this card had offered 980 performance at stock and overclocked to close to stock 1070 performance, AMD could have been a player in the GPU game again. Instead it performs like a stock 970 and barely overclocks at all. It's dead before its even launched.
>>55302431

You know what is going to be great about the 480? Its cheap, and will play anything at 1080p, which is honestly great. Most people do this anyways, since it starts to get really expensive to fully experience anything more. But if you decide to go and get a $700 1440 100hz ultrawide screen, well you can pick up a second 480 for $200 and it should be fine for most games. If you care about games, once you start playing you forget all about "muh graphics" right away as long as they are decent. The 480 is for the people who just want to play their games, without breaking the bank. You know that 80% they were talking about, let the idiots spend $800 on their "top tier", and get the 480 and have just as much fun as them.
>>55299699

"bigger" isn't just about the amount of employees. Installation and budget are also very important. Who's bigger, the company that hires the 9000 best minds in the world, or the one that hires 9000 indians? Protip: the one that hires indians is paying out of pocket and doesn't even have proper installations yet, it's run by a single person.

>>55303206
this.
all leaks so far seem to put it just a bit above a 390 and lower than an overclocked 970. in the uk the price of the 480 has already been leaked at just under £250 (with other board partner cards being even more expensive) whereas you can get brand new board partner 390s and 970s for as cheap as £215 and used is even cheaper. you'd be saving like ~£45 for similar performance and the same amount of vram by buying a 390 or you can sacrifice some vram for superior performance with an overclocked 970(=980). the 480 is just terrible value overall for anyone that isn't american. everyone else like fellow eurobros get fucked over.
>>55303121
1060 will be cheap as well, replace the 960gtx, performance better than 970gtx (which RX 480 doesnt even reach).

>>55301801
It shows a 480 at 18060 and the fury at 18287. Given that Pascal was seeing 1700mhz boost and 2000mhz oc clock rates it wasn't unreasonable early on to believe polaris could be clocked at 14-1500mhz and compete with Fury. Polaris is disappointing on the hardware side of things, its only not that bad because of its price.
>>55303356
Nope, totally new factory oc'ed cards, from e-stores are going for 300 or less these days.
>>55303418

>>55303457
just random website i googled. And once 1070 prices fall, expect 980ti prices to fall, which will cause 980/970 to fall as well.

>>55303525

309 is the cheapest for a 3.5gb version
The 4gb versions are about 350
>>55303785
damn if that's true

oh god you reminded me, they tried to pull that shit as well, this is actually the old amd bait and switch like always
Tomorow we will have bunch of amdrones tears.

fuck off kyle. your career is over.
>>55303918
i fucking u posted a pic i just took on random as e-store, with the prices why are u bullshiting?
>>55303992
How long have you been here? That post was funny af

I can bet you my ass that non-ref 480x with 8gb of ram will cost at least $300 in UK. I can buy a fucking 980 for that money. Makes no sense.
>>55304302
Buying a 980 in current year is the only thing that would make no sense, given its limited VRAM, poor DX12 performance and lack of driver support going forwards. The only logical answer to not buying the 480 is buying the 1060.
>>55304360
B4 1060 releases non-ref cards and drops in prices cuz of retards pre-ordering them it will be December or January and then once again you'll write some snarky comment about waiting till Q2 2017 for 580RX or 1160 GTX. Tbh if I could buy a $400 980Ti I would do it, gimping the card by dropping the driver support or not, it would still be enough for 1440p. 1070 won't drop in prices for months especially here in UK, plus that $380 price point was clearly bullshit as decent non-ref cards cost even more than the overpriced FE garbage, all you'll be able to get for $380 is a dust blower with some custom plastic case. I remember when buying a $300 meant getting top tier GPU that could run you games for years. I blame Nvidia for not giving a fuck about more reasonable customers and AMD for fucking up so badly since 200 series and releasing overheating, driver lacking disappointments. All I want is a 980 tier GPU with future driver support and decent price. How hard is that?
>mfw I get superior performance to Nvidiashits for the same price since FreeSync monitors don't have a nonsense $300 each proprietary good goy tax
>mfw able to use DX12 without compromising my freedoms because my drivers don't commit suicide when being used in a VM
>mfw I could buy a reference card without having to pay extra for worse cooling, a comically atrocious xXxF3AR_TH3_R3AP3RxXx inspired design, and less overclocking capability
>mfw eyefinity just werks
>mfw shills try to say AMD doesn't win every single time
>mfw goys in this very thread actually think Nvidia is viable competition in the eyes of the discerning consumer and not just hot garbage /v/ kiddies buy like Razer
>mfw typing this entire shitpost out from a PC using a 980Ti because the fucking Fury was absolute garbage and we can't have nice things
>>55304533
>my drivers don't commit suicide when being used in a VM
What drivers?
>>55304544
AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition Drivers.
Find new memes, there's literally no reason to use Nvidia unless you need the absolute high end from a single card.
>>55304582
>there's literally no reason to use Nvidia
>>55304533
>>55304544
nice argument-dubs, pals.
Drivers aren't an issue anymore though. plenty of reasons to pick Nvidia though.
Nvidia own 400+ price bracket
AMD owns 250- price bracket.

>no, no, this is all wrong, this can't be happening
What am I going to do guys? I already preordered the cards and I can't cancel it. The loan has a 20% interest rate, and if I can't sell the two extra cards for $300, I can't pay off the loan.

Fuck this gay earth, i'm waiting for the 1060
>>55304763
top kek
that's what you get for falling for his lies
>>55304824
Yet again it can't even beat the 970, let alone a 390
This card is a disaster
>>55304763
Maybe you should stop putting so much effort on false flags you /v/ kiddie.
>>55304872
It's not falseflagging if it's ironic.
>>55304872
Why did false flag become the buzz phrase of the month? Why can't anyone actually use it correctly?
>>55304895
>I'm just '''''''pretending''''''' to be retarded
>>55304918
I used it correctly, maybe you should learn to use a dictionary correctly.
>>55303758
Yeah the fucking 4pt font is obvious. Alright.
>>55299673
Are we doomed to pay the Nvidia tax forever?
Only you anon. You've played yourself
>>55299673
Shitposting and shitflinging aside, a friend gave me his 144hz freesync monitor, and I'm hoping to build a computer for now on a budget.
Which 480 should I go for? MSI or Sapphire? I want to know so when products are in stock I can nab one immediately and coast on it until I can save enough for a ROG 1440p/144hz and the inevitable 1080ti.
>>55305188
XFX if you're buying the reference model, since their Black Edition has a sexy backplate. Otherwise they're all the same and it doesn't matter.
>>55305418
Does a backplate even do much other than just for looks and adding like $30-50 more on the pricetag?
