I'm so sick of losing bros. I've tried to stick by them but I can't handle another disaster on par with pic related. I just can't. They've had my loyalty since that first ATI Radeon card came with my $200 Laptop that I got in early 2010 on my 12th birthday. But I think it's time to move on. I don't want to blindly follow if they're just going to turn around and spit in my face again like this. I won't. All I wanted was a VR ready card for less than $200 that could at the very least play Witcher 3, a year old game, at 60 frames per second. But they couldn't even manage that. I'm done.

What was the reason you first decided to buy an Nvidia card?

Right in the same boat with you, man.

Absolutely sick of Nvidia's unethical bullshit, but no matter how much of a disadvantage that as put AMD in, I am also sick of their shit underperforming.

I promised myself I would wait for Polaris and support AMD, but the more benchmarks I see, the more disappointed I get.

It's like your SO saying s/he wouldn't do it again, but still you catch him/her doing it again and again. Enough is enough. By tomorrow, I'll have an answer if I'm going full on with a 1080 or if AMD really give a fuck.

Why the fuck do they even release their shitty mid-range cards first? Haven't they learned anything from Nvidia?

AMD made no claims besides that two of them in Ashes of the Singularity beat a gtx 1080. That's roughly 980 level, but since AMD does better in AotS than in most games, the 480 appears to be closer to a 970 in most games.

That zotac overclocked 970 actually outperforms a reference 980, consumes more power and costs a whopping $339 on newegg right now. if i went by the logic of your post i would have to assume that the 970 is now superior to the 980 because it outperforms it when overclocked.

Comparing an aib overclocked 970 that sucks down a ton of power to a reference 480 that is power efficient and costs $100 dollars less is bullshit. We need to compare apples to apples. Reference 480 to reference 970 and AIB overclocked 480 to aib overclocked 970

Can you guys get your own "general" thread like other boards do, or maybe one for each brand or something? The percentage of the board that is currently consumerist whining, brand-loyalty and rival-brand trolling is just disgraceful. Haven't seen it this bad since 2009-2010 and 1.7% Woodscrews.

It does not say anywhere what card that they use, other than that it is a zotac 970 overclocked. It could be the extreme amp version, since that one is an overclocked zotac 970 as well.

Seriously, you are either fucking retarded or a stupid shill. Either case, wait 1 fucking day until the real benchmarks are out, and then we will see exactly how good the card is.

It's on par with in some games, and 10% slower in hairwerx ultratessellated NVidia titles, with a 970 overclocked so hard to perform the same as a 980.

That means that the 480 is, on average, par with the 980.

>>55313062
That's an average 970, it's not overclocked anywhere even close to a 980.

It says on the fucking table that it's a Zotac 970 OC, OC standing for OVERCLOCKED. And if you search back that polish article, they say that its that zotac extreme omega whatever card that costs $340 and is on par with a stock 980.

You would get a slower card and lose money in the transaction.

Normal EVGA 970 is clocked at ~1160MHz and listed at $275 on newegg, OC editions are 1215MHz (whooping 50MHz higher...) and cost $330 on Newegg.

The card used on that bench was a 970 clocked at 1300MHz+.

I'm more interested in whether 470s can be unlocked to 480, since they both use the same Polaris die.

A little soon to be worrying about VR. 1st gen headsets are shit and there's no games. Give it a year and you'll have way better headsets, actual games, and graphics cards that were designed with VR as a priority.

Kill yourself.
Polaris is a mid-range chip. Vega, which comes out later in the year (possibly used on a RX 490 and RX Fury or something like that) will be the 400 series flagship.
>>
>>55313523
Interesting. A flagship is supposed to come first.

Are we writing off AMD over some leaked benchmarks of possibly questionable credibility?

And are we ignoring other leaked benchmarks that had a somewhat more positive outlook?

You clearly don't even know the difference between a boost clock and base.

I don't.

Jesus, all this faggotry.

Why not simply purchase the product which most fits your needs? It may happen to be nvidia at a particular moment, it may be AMD.

I don't think the rx480 is a bad card, it's a decent budget card.
>>
>>55313960
While I wont argue that people should buy what suits their needs - the underlying issue is that the market is not advancing. Nvidia matches their high end with their mid card the next generation. (1070 matching / beating 980, 1060 probably will too)

AMD is 2 generations behind or more. For competition reasons this is absolutely terrible for consumers. The GTX 970 is the single most owned card on the market and that is a 2 year old card. The 490(x) needs to pick up the slack on the 480 and match at the absolute minimum a 980 ti, leaving the new furry to challenge the 1070 and 1080. But as you can see, yet again, AMD is a non competitor.
>>
Any reason to buy a 480 if you plan to use it with Linux? I've never used AMD with Linux before and heard that it is sub par.
>>
>>55308117
You say that like MAD employees haven't been here shilling HARD for the RX480 too. At least when the Nvidia shills are active, there's usually something worth getting excited about.
>>
>>55313566
>Interesting. A flagship is supposed to come first.

A flagship card on a new node is a high-risk project, potentially catastrophic. Remember Fermi? Ati had demo'd the 40nm process before with the 4770, which meant that they could release the 5850 on 40nm in high quantities, huge performance increase over their last generation, and half a year earlier than Fermi. Meanwhile Fermi was late, had crap yields, was hotter than hell, and wasn't available for a month after its paper launch.

AMD is probably doing a mid-range card first for that reason.

Or, this is indeed their flagship - a flagship at low power usage, which is what matters for consoles, where they already sold 50+ million APUs, and have a design win for at least two upcoming consoles (using Polaris, even).
>>
>>55313632
>When things like this exist, there is zero reason to buy a 480

Other than that it has more than 3.5gb vram, and uses half the power.
>>
>>55314008
>The GTX 970 is the single most owned card on the market and that is a 2 year old card.

The most owned graphics chip on the market are the AMD APUs inside consoles.

Mostly it's just fans and nvidia owners. Stop with the whole "shill" thing cause it's getting absurd.

The fact is, most people buy nvidia over amd. Simple as that. Of course you'll have fucking fanboys praising nvidia all over the internet, but that in no way means they're shills, let alone paid ones.

I have a gtx770 in my rig, which I bought a few years ago over comparable amd GPUs cause I didn't want to deal with non-existant driver support, overheating problems and lack of amd optimized vidya. That being said, I'm no nvidiot and since I'm looking for a new GPU, I'll wait for the rx480 benchmarks. Outside of that, I'm looking at the gtx1070.

I'll buy whatever I like and whatever best suits my needs. The only things I'm a fanboy of are performance and my fucking wallet, so I couldn't really care less about the opinion of any of you virgin faggots.

Hi /v/!

>But as you can see, yet again, AMD is a non competitor.

Do you know what different market segments mean? AMD is not competing in the $500+ market segment, while Nvidia doesn't have anything new in the $200 market segment. Their only answer was lowering the price on their 2 year old card with fake VRAM. Which will NOT matter, because the OEMs always go for the latest product, which is in this case the 480. OEMs going for current year tech is also the reason why every single hardware company on earth will rebrand their tech if they don't have something new out in every price segment.

A $200 card will sell in way the fuck higher volumes than any card Nvidia has released this year. Which means they get more market share than if they'd released a Fury 2 that is on par with the 1070 or 1080.

That's the tactic behind AMD releasing a mid-range card first.

Mattrox is still around.

But until then i have a simple solution to the amd vs nvidea problem. my wife gets a mis\drange nvidea card and i get a midrange amd card. neither of us have any reason to bitch and we game together quite a bit.

I just stick to AMD bcausei like competition in the market. It keeps everyone working thier hardest and we the customer always win.

Does AMD release a new driver for each new AAA game that comes out?

Nvidia gimping old cards through drivers is an absolute meme, AMD's no drivers at all is not. One thing all you AMDrones share is that you're all delusional. Every pseudoargument you've got is based on lies upon lies upon lies, and your attempts to defend your lies is even more lies.

Polaris is already announced to be in the upcoming xbox scorpio.

http://www.techpowerup.com/223385/microsoft-xbox-scorpio-soc-powered-by-polaris-and-zen

That means that Polaris will sell potentially 30 million minimum, depending on the life cycle of the xbox.

The introduction of the card was quite literally a Poo in the Loo presentation about how two RX 480 in Crossfire are fast enough to compete in that very segment.
