Performance summary:
1- Tom's put this card as below the GTX 970 and R9 390, but not by much.
2- TechPowerUp, Anandtech, PC Perspective, Hexus, HardwareCanucks, and KitGuru put the card at slightly above the GTX 970 and R9 390.
3- LegitReviews, GamerNexus and HardOCP puts the card on par with the GTX 970 and R9 390.
Details:
1- All reviews mention that the cards does considerably better on DX12, where it can beat the GTX 980
2- The reviews praise the card's overall power consumption, but note that it exceeds the standard limits (86W from PCIe, instead of 75W)
3- Most lament the temps of the reference cooler.
4- Most of the reviews note that the reference cooler does well on the noise. As good as nVidia? No, but this is something to note, considering the horrible reference jet engines of AMD's 290/290X cards.
5- Overclocking results are mixed, some reviewers getting up to 10% OC, and some barely 2%.
Overall:
A good launch for AMD. The card is slightly above the GTX 970/R9 390, and cheaper. Once non-reference versions are out, with better temps, this should be a great purchase.
3rd party when?
>>55319755
2 weeks
>>55319755
Less than two months.
Theorically.
You know we could use the threads until they actually get pruned. The first one is still on page 8.

>>55319729
German site Computerbase, which I find very reliable and thoroughly with their tests rates the Stock 480 on par with a custom OCd 970, slightly behind a stock 980.

So basically completely fucking useless for everyone. Good job amd.
>>55319802
probably september to december
literally the only thing putting me off getting one of these is the display ports, i use 2x dvi single and 1x dual links for my setup and i dont wanna shill out on expensive adapters
30FPS in AoS in DX12. fail.
>>55319795
Because it's one of a few where the 970 is in the lead? Hello Mr. Shill
>>55319790
480 Dummy. The power consumption of the 390 is fucking stupid. Wait for aftermarket cards that will allow the card to OC well and it will probably OC to Fury levels.
Daily reminder that the 4GB version has 8GB, it's just locked up in the bios.
>>55319799
u are dum as shit ROFL
>>55319729
so we thought we'd get an amazing ground breaking never-before-seen value GPU

>>55319833
As long as you're not pushing out 144hz dvi, the cheap adapters work fine
>>55319824

>>55319855
Don't risk it. They may have laser cut the thing to prevent any funny business.
How the fuck did these poo niggers manage to fuck up the power draw so hard? Why not just add another set of pins?
>>55319849
it does worse in 1080 tho
>>55319795
>970 ssc
So basically a 980
>When will we get non-reference cards?
Typically, within a couple of months of launch.
>I was expecting it to beat GTX Titan X SLI! This SUCKS!
This is a $200 card. It beats older $200 cards, and is on par with older $330 cards.
>[company x] BTFO! Fanboys on suicide watch! lel, kek, and kys!
We can do that, but it is a waste of your time and energy. We can talk about the new card instead.
>>55319809
I will split the sources section into a second post, for the next thread. Thanks!
>>55319855
This is false. 4GB version uses 7GHz VRAM while the 8GB version uses 8GHz VRAM. Why add extra VRAM modules of a slower variety only to lock them up.
>>55319824
There are tons of people with 280 or below performing cards. It also makes the barrier for quality PC gaming even lower. You can now build a 1080p killing PC for $500.
>>55319891
Add another set of pins so it can draw twice the power?
>>55319819
>>55319824
does shilling work? do people actually look at this shit and think "yep, reasonable argument. I'm getting a 1070"?
>>55319877
but one of my monitors is, hence the dual link
>15% performance improvement from OC despite power limit
custom cards will OC "to the moon" like the leaks claimed
>>55319824
Speak for yourself.
My Pitcairn is finally getting replaced.
>>55319912
Alright
This thing is a beast
I'm fucking sold
>>55319896
I presume the 4GB 480 is going to end up on the guide in a few weeks then?
Assuming that the prices remain close to what they should be and supply is okay
So this card is basically useless right? A competitor to a nVidia's last gen technology.
>>55319895
Yes.
STRIX RX480
>>55319824
>So basically completely fucking useless for everyone. Good job amd.
Funny. AMD thinks and I tend to agree it targets 80% of the PC Gamers market.
>>55319909
Who the hell would buy a 970 or 1070? I imagine the only people that bought them were people who drool or parents/old folks who didn't know better and walked into a failing CompUSA store or something.
>>55319927
I am adding it now, and removing the 380X.
>>55319933
nVidia does not have anything new in the $200 segment.
>>55319897
It was cheaper to keep the production line the same than switch them to only produce 4GB cards. AMD is making a good profit on the 480.
the rx 470 is only 1k points behind 480 in basic fire strike
interesting
>>55319903
What Nvidiacucks don't understand is this will hopefully bring gaming up to speed by lowering that barrier.
>>55319912
The power consumption is an issue though. Being able to overclock a cheap card through the roof is a great thing, and I look forward to it. But I'd hate to see this thing consume more than 225W after a full OC.
I'm going to wait.
>>55319979
>>55319723
Yeah, 390, 480 and 970 all cost the same and perform the same.
Went to check the noise levels to make up my mind on what to get. Looks like 480 wins.
>>55319852
You're delusional if you think it will clock to fury levels
>>55320003
Good on you. I waited too much (560ti).
RX 480 Crossfire or 1070 for 144Hz 1080p?
The price:performance is pretty far in 480s favor, but I'm a bit wary of dual GPU.
>>55319912
>overclocked 980
>faster than 1070
wtf DOOM
>>55320016
Maybe. But if the card really does get to 1500+ mhz, who knows?
>>55319819
It's only almost two years late.
>>55320038
1070 hands down. Crossfire a shit.
>>55320038
1070 is useless. You might as well go 1080 if you want 144 or better usage in the future. No clue why Nvidia released the useless 1070.
>>55319979
The aftermarket cards which are supposedly able to be overclocked further can draw a whopping 300W from the PSU.
They come with 6+8 pin connectors for 225W + an additional 75W from the PCIe slot.
>>55319819

>>55320078
Judging by the name, no.
>>55319789
Yep. It's a good card for the money. It just means AMD's GPU division is now in the same boat as the CPU division: they can only compete at sub-flagship levels.
>>55320055
Not gonna lie, bought the GTX 1080 and it is overkill for 1440p. I'm averaging 140fps in DOOM with nightmare settings.
>>55320078

>>55320078

>>55319885
>>55319903
>>55319947
I see the AMD pajeets crawled out of the woodwork. Everybody already has a card like that for the past 2 years, and for those who don't, by now a 970 costs the same as a 480, cheaper if you buy it used, has same power draw, and can OC better.
RX480 is a fucking joke, and the final nail in AMDs coffin.

>>55320055
low yields because of lots of defects in chips hence the low numbers of cards available
>>55320038
A single GTX1070 is always better in benchmarks against cfRX480. I am buying a RX480 myself but you have to be some kind of special retard to get 2xRX480 over a single 1070.
>>55319824
This
The 970 and 390 are already showing signs of age because they can't even max out some of the recent titles. If it was 980 performance then it would be fine because the 980 still holds up strong today and is about 20% faster than both the 970 and 390 but because they flopped and could barely get it to match a 970/390 this card will be outdated in no time. Enjoy medium settings.
>>55319933
>The price:performance is pretty far in 480s favor
Eh?
2x8GB 480=$480
GTX 1070 = $400-440
1070 beats 2x480 overall in average fps. If you exclude the games that have shit CF support, 2x480 is 10% ahead. And that's in average fps. Due to frame pacing issues, average fps is a bad way to measure CF/SLI performance.
>>55320070
Go back to grinding Anki anon. I dunno how you came to read it as that, but your translation is wrong.
it reads
>Wasn't able to (2 get) today either
What 2 get is referencing is beyond me, I'm guessing it's dubs, but don't quote me on that.
>>55320119
You mean overhyped trash that will be an even bigger disappointment than the 480?
>>55320112
Seems right.
Mid range=being able to max out 1080p while not being able to max out 1440p.
>>55320112
How is a 200$ card not midrange?
>>55320126
>A single GTX1070 is always better in benchmarks against cfRX480.
All the game benchmarks Falco linked suggest the opposite.
>>55320089
How do you figure since AMD had the fastest card? Has anything from Nvidia beat the 295 yet? This old 2+ year old card?
>>55320114
How is it "a fucking joke" since it performs between a 970 and a 980, uses less energy and custom designs will be GOAT for MUCH less money?
Oh wait, dont even answer me, since you are a shill.
>>55320119
>wait for the next amd card/cpu
>next amd card/cpu comes out, is a gigantic flop
>but it will be better the next time guys! just wait until the next amd card/cpu
every fucking time.
When was the last time AMD released anything that was good? APUs are a joke, Fury was a joke, 390 series were full rebrands, Faildozer was a gigantic fucking joke, Phenom 2 was good but 2 generations behind, and Phenom 1 was a joke.
>>55320112
Of course. High end has been pushed. Technology evolves.
LMAO IT'S SHIT
>>55320150
It's low end. 1070 is mid-range, and 1080 is enthusiast tier.
>>55320150
Guess it depends if you class ranges by cost or performance. If a GT730 could run 1440p games, would it still be a level entry card with amazing performance, or a high level card with amazing price.
>>55320164
>When was the last time AMD released anything that was good?
Tahiti. So +4 years ago.
I'm almost considering buying a 970, dated as it might be and the 3.5gb meme and all.
Reason being I want nvidia but I want cheap. I was considering AMD only if it was actually as good as people said it was going to be, which turns out it isn't. It's worth it in terms of price but it's just a bit more.
This card is okayish, but nothing more.
People with a highend 3 years old card still won't buy this card.
There is no gain.
>>55320133
>includes non-scaling games
kek
Can I post this or should I delete this?
it's <$500 worth of cards
>>55320182

>>55319729
nice shill you piece of shit, but anandtech benchmarks don't show it above 970 at all
>>55320164
The 7970/7950 were AMD's last truly competitive cards.
>>55320177
Nah mate 1070 competes with 1080 customers which is why they cripple it like with the 970.
https://youtu.be/C24vLB6oYyU
OVERCLOCKING BENCHMARKS VS 970
Looks like amd have a lemon on their hands. This card is fucking garbage. Nearly 10% slower than an overclocked 970.
>>55320123
>>wont test ashes of benchmark because reasons
Well he complained that the benchmark results were not consistent across most of his cards
>>55320114
We crawled out of the woodwork because we now have reliable performance measurements. 970: It's not cheaper.
And: 8>3.5 always and forever.
>>55320182
Guy who has been called a nvidia shill multiple times here.
There is no reason to buy a 970 over a 480 at the moment.
>>55319729
Honestly, I trust GamerNexus most of the bunch.
Might be just me though.
>>55320153
>since it performs between a 970 and a 980
it's slower than 2 year old cards.
>uses less energy
uses more energy by default than what the 6-pin power connector can even supply. That's a HUGE design failure.
>and custom designs will be GOAT for MUCH less money?
not available yet, while the 970 has been out for 2 fucking years.
>>55320188
DELET
>>55320152
Are you kidding?
>>55319885
>2x-3x cheaper
fucking what?
The issue that it's not. It literally costs the same as a GTX 970 and r9 390
>>55320201
No reason to ever buy a 970 ever really.
>>55320209
its pulling the extra power from the board not the 6pin
>>55320177
>a $500 card is now mid-range
how out of touch are you?
>>55320199
>And: 8>3.5 always and forever.
By the time games use that 8gb memory, the 480 won't be nowhere near enough to run them to begin with.
Am I the only who's impressed that this card is so good with only 32 ROPs? That's a pretty huge nerf and it still performs better or on par with the 390/970.
>>55320097
that's not overkill at all since I'm using a 144hz monitor
I need it min ~140fps
>>55320182
Wait for the 1060 then.
It might actually be a nice card since they'll have to play catch up.
>>55320186
That's exactly what you should be doing. You don't pick and choose games depending on how they perform.
Flip your thinking a little. Think of a world where CF/SLI only works in 5% of the games. Then you only benchmark the games were CF/SLI works, and conclude that CF/SLI works amazing and shows amazing performance increases. Do you think that's a smart thing to do?
I wonder if we'll get a 480X or pre-overclocked cards. Perhaps with 2x 6 or an 8pin for power.
Luckily i don't want to do a new build immediately. So i can wait a couple of months for these things to trickle out.
>>55320235

Never underestimate stupid big textures.
clueless fag here who's had a gt 240 for like 4 years, why should I wait for the non-reference versions due to OC capabilities?
>there were retards that thought this card would be in the Fury region performance wise
Anyways, this Crossfire/SLI advertisment is pure shit, games run horrible with microstuttering.
Nothing but a meme.
Anyone who wants to invest into VR in the next year, is gonna get a GTX1070 atleast.
Nvidia is way more efficient once again.
The RX480 already draws more power than a GTX1070.
The RX490 will be in R9 390 region.
Fuck the 480. Is the 460 better than the 750ti?
>>55320078
I like him. I still look at other reviewers because You would be retarded to follow only one source
>>55320205
No they're pretty fine, I haven't seen them shill stuff and they just seem to show just what it is.
I like the fact that they make a lot of different tests and shit too.
>>55320261
So you can OC better and run cooler.
>>55320192
interesting..............
>>55319855
Don't spread this bullshit, they sent 8GB cards with double BIOS to reviewers so they could test both configurations on a single card. The consumer cards have physically 4 and 8GB installed.
>>55320182
Oh, so a brand whore buying a objectively inferior card?
Daily reminder:
8>3.5
>>55320164
7950, 7970, 390, 390x, fury x, 295x2, fx83xx, athlon 64
>>55320260
Heavily nodded skyrim doesn't even hot 4gb on my 980. I have 8k textures running too. Nvidia cards have memory compression compared to amd only adopting memory compression now with polaris. The same mods will use much less vram when comparing nvidia to amd.
Was expecting more. Performance is just too low. Even IF it OCs to 1500MHz with decent cooling that would put it at regular fury levels(that is assuming performance per clock ratio is pretty much 1:1 as with other GCN cards) and it's not enough of an upgrade for me at 1440p.
After 8 years with AMD just went with a 1070 this time. Sad times
>mfw the complaints boil down to people being mad that this $200 card is not better than the $400 they got last year.
Calling this retarded is an insult to retards everywhere.

>>55320320
t. AMDrone false flagging to make people believe Nvidiots actually did that
>>55320261
We don't know how capable of an overclocker the card is. You could be missing out on a huge boost in performance if you go reference. Let's say the card can hit 1500+mhz. Would you wanna miss out on that? Also blower coolers tend to be a bit loud.
>>55320266
Duh. It'll be about on par with a 370/950. AMD already demoed it a while ago running the same framerate in Battlefront as the 950.

Holy shit, you don't understand anything with hardware and buy into the le more ram meme.
How clueless are you?
In your little mind, you must think that any card below 8GB will somehow run out of ram it will cause a blackscreen or something.
>>55320320
The only ones disappointed are the faggots expecting a high end performance from a mid range card.
Is the crossfire shitty?
If I buy one of these now because it alone will be a rampant improvement over the GTX260 I have in my system now, will buying a 2nd one down the road and putting it in crossfire really make a big improvement?

the 8gb isn't $200 :)
>>55320382
Real talk, how's the performance looking on the 4GB vs 8GB? Is it REALLY worth the extra $40? I can't imagine the difference being huge.
>>55320377
>Calling the 7950 and 7970 poor cards
Dude, what? They're fantastic cards. They literally still hold up today. They were the 2500k/2600k of GPUs.
>>55320399
jesus the 1070 sucks a fat nut, buying 2x 480 now
>>55320413
And 390 had an average power consumption of 265W.
>>55320432
are there any benchmarks comparing the 4GB version to the 8GB version?
>>55320405

Polaris 11 = Rx 460.
>>55320429
It is
>>55320429
8GB is 239.99 the GTX970 3.5GB is $250
$10 more for less
>>55320456
less? Already shown for more
Glad I kept my 290 and didn't worry with selling it to buy the 480. The performance is almost identical.
I got my 290 for $170 a year ago.
It saves money by working as a space heater in the winter too.

Why is the 1070 so bad? Barely faster than the 970 LOL fucking nvidiots
Should I buy the 8gb version lads?

*Cough* Mirrors Edge *Cough*
so this is the power of samsung...

Not bad, man. You scored. Wait for the RX490 and see how it is. If its shit, guess you're waiting two generations.
>>55320497
90% of all web servers are linux based
>>55320489
Can you read? It says 99th percentile, not average framerate.
So I guess a used GTX 980 it is for me.
>>55320448
Not that i know of, probably in a day or two. Id imagine the 4gb model will be pretty on par with the 8gb
>>55320514

>>55319729
Someone mentioned gamernexus so I read their review and their conclusion is exactly my concern.
>AIB partners will do a much better job of thermal/noise management, the question is whether or not those cards exceed the $240 price-point. As price grows beyond $240, the value proposition swiftly diminishes. The RX 480 does feel like it's priced precisely where it belongs – $200 to $240. We just need to see if those prices stick.
>>55320239
>tfw, where I live, a 1080 costs about the same as 2 x 480 8GB
What a time to be alive. Us eurofags are truly getting pegged, I hope the prices normalize in the coming weeks.

Any thread that was pro-480 was getting instantly deleted. "All of /g/" wasn't on /g/ at the time.
Poolaris will get better as time goes on due to better drivers.
Meanwhile NVIDIA will gimp maxlel to give pascual a chance.

>3.5gb card doing better than 8gb card in 1440p

>>55320535
This is the objective price:performance and benchmarks thread.
What you post in the thread is your business.
I'm not disappointed with the performance at all. I was always expecting at least 970/390 performance and it delivered albeit not that far ahead. The attractive thing is that it's only $200 whereas those other cards released for $100-$150 more. That being said, I am disappointed with something that will likely hurt AMD in the near future, and that is its power consumption. What the actual fuck happened here? GloFo's 14nm FinFET is garbage, the RX480 is consuming less power than a GTX970, but the latter is not only 28nm, but it's also not that far behind. This really has me worried for Vega since those are probably monster chips. They better perform well or they're pretty fucked in that regard.
>>55320489
That particular benchmark is not representative of average FPS. GTX 1070 is an excellent card.
>>55320514
If it works fine!
>>55320541
Sure, I guess, if you count doing nothing but playing LoL once a week "using" it.
>>55320496
>mfw amd shills were grilling 1070/1080 FE owners because of the high temps
>mfw their shitty card that's ~70% slower reaches the same temps whilst even being on a smaller node size and chip
Holy kekkk
>>55320439
who cares
>>55320553
again
>1440
>>55320507
Probably not gonna be a significant enough jump for me to buy, I'm betting on R9 Fury performance.
>>55320549
yeah once non-ref cards come out and better drivers this thing will unlock beastmode and oc to 1080 levels np, you see that scaling? unreal
>>55320532
Kill yourself you statistically illiterate /v/ermin. A small change in the mean results in large changes in the extremes. The 1070 and 970 have tons of benchmarks for their averages out in the open, there's literally nothing out of the ordinary here.
Should I get the reference card or wait for the third party releases?
>>55320568
Also costing 3x time less
>>55320268
>XFX
Fuck no. They disable voltage so you can never OC. Never buying xfx again.
Any news of where the 1060, 1060Ti, or RX 490 will fall in here?
I'm looking for a bit more kick than the 480 has to offer but the 1070 is overkill for my needs.
>>55320578
Usually better to get non-reference. Cooler temps, lower noise!
>>55320571
Higher resolutions use more vram. A 3.5gb card should in no instance ever be beaten by an 8gb card at 1440p.
>>55320595
GTX 1060 has already been pictured, and rumoured to be released in a week. No news on anything else.
>>55320581
Usually cheap shit costs less
>>55320578
I was hyped to buy a full build today, but I'm going to put off until the non-reference cards are released, and so should you.
>>55320595
The 1060/ti is rumored to have 6gb vram and launch in July. That's about all we know besides a leaked picture of the reference cooler that looks a bit different than the 1070/1080 one.
>>55320613
Yeah and expensive shit costs more.
The state of the GPU market is a fucking tragedy
>>55320625
>launch in July
is AMD dead? The 1060 will do better than this
>>55319933
then the gtx 1070 is a comppetitor to AMD's Fury X, it's useless right?
gtx 1060 will be a competitor to AMD's R9 390, this too is useless then
>>55320581
Price isn't relevant here. It's about the technology. Both nvidia cards are running much higher frequencies which would naturally make a chip run hotter and the nvidia cards are also on a larger process node and chip. The amd card should have massive advantages due to the smaller node, lower power input and frequencies. Yet it performs worse than a 2 year old Nvidia card on a 28nm process.
Mark my words. This is the first evidence of amd flopping with their node shrink. There is worse to come.
>>55320633
I really don't even think this card has a market, it's really bad, I really expected more from it, $200 is still too much at this performance at this point in time
>>55320589
Learn to solder GPUs you faggot
>>55320607
>>55320642
It's ok when NVIDIA does it.
>>55320547
The non-reference 480 will have a dual link DVI port
The pajeet holding an AMA claims that their:
>reference GPUs are designed to show the world what we want the world to be like in terms of display interfaces
>>55320625
and a 192 or 256 bit bus which improves on the gimped 960.
But thing is the 1060 only has 1.2k shaders vs the rx 480s 2k+ and in the long run those extra shaders are gonna help
>>55320646
>Price isn't relevant
Official Nvidia reps should have trips desu.
>>55320638
We don't know if the 1060 will be the direct competitor to the 480. Given that the 1070's price went up, the 1050 might occupy the $200-$250 bracket for Nvidia. But in that case, the 1060 will dominate the market for people who want more than a 480, but less than a 1070, at least until Vega is out.
>>55320646
everyone saw it coming when it was revealed they were using samsung and not TSMC
>>55320595
>Rx 490
Will probably be cheaper than the 1070 for similar performance. It's supposed to be released by the end of the year, judging by the AMD website.
>1060
This should compete with the 480. Who knows if it performs better or offers a better bang for buck. It will probably be on par with a 970.
>1060 Ti
Don't know if this will ever happen
>>55320646
Are you braindead
>>55319729
Well, once the vendor cards release, I can throw one in my HTPC with native GameCube emulation and get exactly what I was looking for.
Not the card AMD promised, but not bad for certain users. Console gaymers can get a decent intro card once aftermarket coolers come about.
>>55320448
>>55320517
Anandtech has a quick glimpse comparison.
The thing is the memory OC's far better than the GPU, so you can easily make up for the 2% performance loss from the lesser bandwidth.
>>55320548
>Any thread that was pro-480 was getting instantly deleted.
You do realize that it's incredibly easy to find out whether you're lying?
Let's take a look at deleted threads from the archive.

We see 4 deleted RX 480 threads. One is in written in swahili, so I imagine that's why it was deleted. The rest of the threads are
Image of RX 480 with the comment
>STOP LAUGHING
This is certainly pro-480.
Image of 300€ RX 480s, and a comment where the OP laughs and says it has worse price/perf than 970
This is certainly pro-480.
Image of Mirror's Edge benchmark, and a comment that says
>lmao
I think he's laughing at the 480 here.
>Any thread that was pro-480 was getting instantly deleted
All the threads deleted were 480 hate threads. Good fucking job.
>>55320638
Probably. The fact that the 480 nearly matches power and temp levels with a 1070 shows how much more efficient the 1060 can be. It'll also run at probably over 1.4ghz and oc much higher than the 480.
I honestly can't see anything good coming for amd in the years ahead. Their new card is practically DOA and will be beaten by a maxwell refresh.
