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 some note that it exceeds the standard power 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's reference cards? 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. If you already have a GTX 970/R9 390, this card will do nothing for you.

FAQ:
>When will we get non-reference cards?
Typically, within a couple of months of launch.
>Buy this, or buy a GTX 970/R9 390?
The RX 480 is slightly better, for slightly cheaper, so go for it instead. If you absolutely need a card RIGHT NOW and cannot wait for it to be in stock, then you do not lose much by getting a GTX 970/R9 390.
>Is it worth upgrading from a [card X] to this card?
If you have something higher than a 380X, then no. If you have something like the GTX 760 or weaker, then it is worth getting this card.
>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.

Ordered one today that'll be arriving tomorrow.
If I'm not satisfied with the stock cooler I'll be returning it within the 4 weeks that the place I ordered from allows you, even if you've used it.

You can't help that AyyMD's fuckup is so bad it's bringing out the hivemind.
AMD do not set the prices, except for in the US.
They cannot be held responsible for greedy governments and greedy retailers.
Ignore any 970 shills, you're paying less for less vram (and the fact that NVIDIA are shifting them en masse to clear inventory)

If the card doesnt conform to the pci-e spec, thats not a good launch for amd. Pretty sure that they wont be able to sell the card unless some major changes are made.
![RX480_Review_Guide_DX12-pcgh[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/ldvRzLg.jpg "RX480_Review_Guide_DX12-pcgh[1].png")
Doing pretty good.
They need to sort out drivers though, DX12 performance can theoretically be a lot higher.
>>55323073
Ive never bought used tech before and I'm very cautious about buying from some random person online.
>>55323075
Yeah but I am a little iffy on the power consumption.
For anyone wondering, expect third party cards out around 12th of July, I recommend not buying reference, there's no reason to, just wait for the 3rd party. Also, PowerColor is going to release a dual 480 GPU, their new flagship, I wonder how that's gonna do.
>>55323091
But they're not
>>55323085
>tfw Kyle was right and they sell the graphics division to Intel
>>55323061
Yes.
Also that this is the best price/performance card out there
>>55323085
Not even kidding this card is going to prematurely end the RX 480 and any relevance it once had.
>>55323064
Don't worry, the 150 dollar Nvidia 1050 Ti will do exactly this!

>>55323169
So should I stick with refurbished products from a company or even random people with good ratings will be fine?
I'm upgrading from a gtx 560ti to an rx 480 or a gtx 1060, whichever looks better after the 1060 releases. I don't really run that demanding of games GPU-wise, but I play a few CPU-intensive games and am wondering what a good modern upgrade for my i7 960 3.2ghz would be?
>>55323183
You don't need 6gbs though. It's either 4gbs or 8gbs. Anything in between doesn't make sense, like 3-core processors.

>Benchlife reports that the 3 GB models would be priced around $249 US while the 6 GB models will be priced at $299 US.
Noooooooo. Literally all they had to do to bankrupt AMD was give it an equivalent price to the 480. Even making it slightly more expensive but perform much better would kill a lot of appeal the 480 had.
>>55323205

Different shit going on.
>>55323241
>3gb version priced like a 8gb 480
wtf njudea?
>>55323201
In case you asking for serious question and not trolling.
Lower performance with DX12 titles and maybe the upcoming Vulkan, so its less future proofs.
Unless you want to play old games then be happy with a used 970 from ebay.
Satisfy?
>>55323242
Thanks for the advice anon
>>55323183
yup the vram will never be used. That's why the 3.5gb wasn't such a blunder at anything with >PS2 textures.
>>55323241
Wait, if that's the price of the "founders edition", then some of the AIB cards will legitimately be cheaper than that. AMD could still be finished and bankrupt.
>>55323085
>192-bit
yeah nah fuck off
>>55323241
Those prices are fine.
Nvidia's VRAM is of exceptional quality.
>>55323256
it's an upgrade that you'll notice but it's nothing crazy, cpus havent come as far as gpus in the same timespan

Can someone sum up the merits of Polaris to me?
The name seems to be dropped a lot, but does it actually bring anything new and exciting that doesn't show up in the benchmarks?
>>55323241
Considering how bottlenecked nvidias 16nm wafer supply is you'll probably get one by the end of september for $350.
>>55323258
You will when you upgrade your CPU because if you don't some of your chip features will not be working.
>>55322906
Do newer amd cards require a mobo with uefi? I read something about the 380 needing it, but I haven't heard anything like that since I read it.
>>55323258
>Want a GPU for games but doesn't want the best OS for games
I bet you're one of those anon who couldn't read for shit for themselves and think that spying = telemetry, also, misses the point of the telemetry being used only for microsoft account stuff, aka, not applicable when using a local account.
>Being retarded
Typical from /v/ fags leaking into /g/
>>55323315
You might want to double check their market share. AMD won the sub $400 bracket in terms of performance last gen, but Nvidia still sold more. Nvidia won't be finished for a looooooong time.
>>55323241
This doesn't surprised me at all. >>55322942
I got tons of experience of buying hundreds of cards from both companies.
AMD is still far a better option specially when you need to buy a lot of them.
>>55323319
I cringed
How is it compare to a R9 290? Worth upgrading?
>>55323280
Yes because the 1080 non-founders edition cards are _significantly_ cheaper than the nvidia goym edition, only $700.
>>55323085
When do i get to stop playing this fucking waiting game
>>55323301
As long as it's a decent upgrade I don't mind. My CPU/GPU are old as fuck anyway, and replacing them is as much for the performance boost as it is for replacing aging hardware.
>>55323334
>telemetry is totally harmless bro
Yeah, nah. If it was totally harmless then it wouldn't secretly communicate with Microsoft even when you have everything turned off.
>>55323357
Not worth it if you have a 290
>>55323220
We do not know. We have rumoured specs, and cards are typically launched in "families", so probably less than 4 months.
>>55323339
Female pedophiles are more common than male pedophiles. Just nobody cares.
>>55323315
you do realize that the reference cards will be like $40 more expensive. it's a weird thing to do but that means the aftermarket cards will be like ~$210 and ~$250 which will put it within the same pricing as amd aftermarket cards or maybe even cheaper.
>>55323305
Vulkan is basically DX12 without win10.
>>55323359
But they are closer to $600. As usual, the higher end non reference designs are more expensive, but there are plenty that are close to $600.
>>55323380
Ok, getting a 1070 I guess

>>55323379
You can't turn telemetry off, that's the point, you can just set it to send basic stuff.
Ask anyone who works in the pc repair business and ask them how good is windows 10 finding correct and updated drivers for every single device now vs how it was on 7 and 8.1.
It will literally find ANYTHING automatically, that's one of the use for telemetry.
>>55323381
>so probably less than 4 months.
Will be a reference card first too just like the current 480?
>>55323275
Blatantly false.
Now explain why the 8gb 480 scored better in games than the 4 gb
>>55322906
I've got a R9 290 with a reference cooler in my system, is this worth the upgrade? How much could I sell my 290 for now?
>230 before tax
>have to buy two of them
>game needs to have dx12 support otherwise the card is meh
Nah, I bought a 1070 for $481 after tax instead. Costs less than dual 480's and doesn't need dx12 to run well. You're a fool if you buy this.
>>55323153
480 is poolaris 10 though
>>55322906
I currently have a R9 270X mated to a FX 6300.... I been wanting to upgrade to a better GPU so should I get this? or should I wait or buy something else?
>>55323220
I saw in one of the reviews today that they were being launched mid-july and late-july for 470 and 460 respectively (or maybe vice versa)
>>55323168
>I can't understand simple binning
He didn't confuse anything, unlike yourself. All the Polaris 10/11 dies are running at higher voltages because AMD didn't do any in depth clock binning after validation.
AIBs will do clock binning themselves and bring voltage down.
>>55323453
get this because AMD should have some new tech for their driver overheas problems
>>55323445
just get an aftermarket cooler for it.... the RX 480 isn't going to be much of a substantial upgrade from your current card unless you really think TDP matters that much to you
>>55323424
>It will literally find ANYTHING automatically, that's one of the use for telemetry.
That's nice. I can find drivers on my own, so I'd rather not have Windows sending mystery data to MS whenever it feels like it.
>>55323160
>nVidia fucks up again and doesn't want another 3.5gb scandal
>Sell it as a 3gb card instead
They knew they couldn't get away with it again and now its like they are admitting the 3.5 was a fiasco too.
This is quite sad.
>>55323445
no it's not worth it, it wouldn't even be an upgrade, it'd be a sidegrade.
4 GIG OR 8 GIG VIDEO CARD BREHS?
>>55323433
That is impossible to tell. AMD may or may not launch with reference cards for its mid and low tiers.
>>55323445
For the price and the hassle, probably not worth it.
I still want my AMD, shitpost all you want.
>>55323479
Its ok anon, if you want to feel like "muh power user" its great an all, but for those 99% of people who don't, it works just better everyday.

Why do people keep saying its a $200 card when its $240?
>>55323581
>1) The RX 480 has passed PCIe compliance testing with PCI-SIG. This is not just our internal testing. I think that should be made very clear. Obviously there are a few GPUs exhibiting anomalous behavior, and we've been in touch with these reviewers for a few days to better understand their test configurations to see how this could be possible.
>2) Update #2 made by the OP is confused. There is a difference between ASIC power, which is what ONLY THE GPU CONSUMES (110W), and total graphics power (TGP), which is what the entire graphics card uses (150W). There has been no change in the spec, so I would ask that incorrect information stop being disseminated as "fact."
>We will have more on this topic soon as we investigate, but it's worth reminding people that only a very small number of hundreds of RX 480 reviews worldwide encountered this issue. Clearly that makes it aberrant, rather than the rule, and we're working to get that number down to zero.

>>55323733
you miss the point dude
the TAM amd is going is the same TAM that nvidia says they have the largests userbase the 70% of the market...
also steam survey is so accurate that it has a 360 as the most popular amd card...
not to mention it doesnt have a single 390 or x or whatever on it..
>>55323765
RX 480 is far inferior to the NVIDIA GTX 760
>>55323765
This card is so shit there's no way it'll be bottlenecked by anything, a Phenom II will run it
>>55323639

KEK'D HARD! YUROSHIT!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH
>>55323592
>is likely to reduce their prices
Even the dumbest person could come to that conclusion. The question is: can they? the 1080/1070 are in super short supply and not because they are selling like hotcakes but there were just few of them to begin with.
It is hard to imagine that nvidia can divert more 16nm wafers towards a 1060 and keep the prices low.
>>55323772
both
>>55323217
What's the matter with 6gb? Because it isn't 2,4, or 8 it just magically loses 2gb?
>>55323785
(You)
>>55323736
gee i wonder how he managed to have a lower total power draw from 99% of the reviews yet somehow he is the only one that actually found a bug lol
doesnt really fit the whole narrative does it now
>>55323491
>>55323795
It's like 4gb + 2gb
>>55323781
>you miss the point dude
And you miss mine. My point is AMD SHOULD dominate the sub $400 price point last generation, but they didn't because Nvidia has better marketing.
>>55323750
Sorry, replicated by TPU.
>>55323795
Its because 3.5 x 2 would make 7GB and that isn't user friendly
>>55323491
>>55323818
Are you actually using that heap of shit as an example?
It has fucking physx tied into its physics engine
>Nvidia gimp 9 series card for their 10 series
>Rx Poo in Loo still lose
AMD is done for good this time.
>>55323818
>a game where a 390x loses to a 970 by 30fps
>relevant
>>55323787
I will take that as a "Yes, get the 480" and thank you for the advice
>>55323750
PCper numbers reach 155W.
Great card. Beats the snot out of the 3.5, is quite cheaper and uses less power
>>55323818
I still don't get it the tech behind Project CARS engine.
Can someone explain it to me?
>>55323855
t. filthy weaboo pedophile
>>55323870
It was made to only power team green and not team red
>>55323817
Holy shit. We have an actual shill here. How much are you being paid?
>>55323750
No other review site out there measures power as accurately at Tom's. There is nothing wrong with their test methodology for measuring power draw across all rails.
The RX 480 is drawing way more voltage than necessary for its stock clocks, and its showing. Its pulling an average of 80w from the PCI-E slot, with spikes up to 150w.
There may be an issue with their test sample in particular causing it to pull this much off of the board instead of the connector, but regardless their measurements are accurate.
>>55323765
not really reccomended for something as wimpy as fx6300
>>55323869
>>uses less power
no, see >>55323837
>>55323869
>Beats the snot out of the 3.5
Nah, it's pretty equivalent to it on the whole.
>>55323765
I would also like an answer, only mines an i7-2600k, and I don't wanna waste money getting more card than I can use.
>>55323551
Thanks.
>>55323837
i literally said 163 watts
tpu didnt pass it
>sorry replicated it
epic
>>55323870
It has physx as its main physics engine and on top of that is intentionally gimped because nvidia paid for a good chunk of its development.
>>55323888
I know that, but someone might already test it what's wrong with the game engine and tell it why it relied so much on Nvidia cards.
I'm just curious.
>>55323828
and they are doing it now so?
>>55323888
checked
>>55323445
I got my 290 when I was really into vidya, but now all I use is Photoshop on Windows, blender and krita on Linux. I also bought overmeme a few days ago, but I'm no longer looking for the best quality or what not.
The thing I hate about this card is the heat that sits in the room I keep it in, and the insanely loud fan.
Having said that, what would be a nice downgrade?
>>55323902
Would you then recommend upgrade to i5 and motherboard and later get RX-480?
>>55323896
everything is a conspiracy against AMD though
>>55323902
>tfw fell for the 4460 meme
is it not worth it upgrading to 480 then?
>>55323924
There's hardly a difference between an average of 163W and 164W.
If you're talking about peaks, you're completely retarded and should take a class on electronics.
TPU's card easily peaks at numbers higher than that too.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/RX_480/22.html
And so does hardware.fr's. Pic related.
Fuck off shill.
>>55323940
Uhh, the cards just launched. We can't make any judgements about the market share until we actually see some numbers in the future when we get to see the impact the 480 has.
>>55322916
What are the benefits of 480 4GB over 970 4GB?
tfw im still on a radeon 6770 hd
>>55323896
no other site out there managed to have such a power draw THATS THE PROBLEM
tom showed a wattage that other has while they oc the card and he had it on stock
and above this he actually had a lower total system consumption from almost anyone
his results are stupid unless is review it on a laptop
>>55323965
How do you manage to build a card on a smaller node that consumes more power than a card 80% faster than it? What the fuck? And why are people defending this shit.
>>55323980
The 480 4GB is actually 4GB and cheaper
>>55323965
lol you mad bro? :p
>$229 for 8GB
>>55323980
there isn't. the 4gb 480 is slower than the 8gb 480 and the 8gb 480 barely beats a 4gb 970.
>>55323980
the 480 is faster than the 970
>>55323952
>>55323963
you might as well wait for 1060, Nvidia drivers strain CPU less. I expected AMD to fix it with polaris, but nope.
Why you guys are so over analyzing a card that basically just an equivalent of last gen Nvidia 960/AMD R380 card?
This is a just another mid range 1080p card.
>>55324000
I would say wait until there are third-party models to come out for the 480 since there seems to be better results with those.
>Cutting its price by $100 doesn't make it impressive.
>Cutting its price by $100 doesn't make it impressive.
How bad are nvidia and their cucked hardware sites panicking right now lmao
>muh power draw
>muh no efficiency gain
>muh watts
>who needs 4GB more vram?
>muh overclocking on a reference model
>>55324016
the RX 480 is a high end card for a low price
>>55324011
I'm also considering getting the 1060 since Nvidia doesn't get gimped, but the price is what will matter most to me.
>>55323980
+Price might be a little lower
+You effectively get 0.5 GB more vram
+Better DX12 performance
-AMD drivers
-only hot/loud reference cards available at the moment
>>55323965
>192W
>that means over 100W is pulled from a single pcie slot
RIP mobos
>>55324016
it's 40% better than the 380 retard.
>>55324037
It's said to be out in July or so, btw (Me)
>>55323980
You gain .5gb of VRAM, it uses slightly less power, is substantially faster in DX12 and has a bunch of new shit like opengl 4.5 and HDMI2.0b.
It's also a lot cheaper
>>55324030
Let me help you.
>>>/v/
>>55324030
except the card is slow as fuck and everything it competes with is already out of sale, so why the fuck would they care?
>>55323985
Plenty of other sites have the same ballpark figures. Grasping at straws and outright denial can't change the facts.
The RX 480 is sucking down power at stock clocks, more power than the GTX 1070 .
>>55323635
Please respond someone
Should I get a reference 480?
I'm not OCing it and the benchmarks look fine for what I want. My 7850 is struggling with fps even at low settings on new games, so I just want a decent new card. I'd rather not wait another month for aftermarkets unless I really have to.
>>55324036
a card replaces 380/x
literally a mid tier
4chan evolves it into high end
literally quality shitshilling
i guess 490 will be enthusiast and the x will be univerasalius
>>55324060
I have 980 TI on single PCI-e slot motherboard and it works great
What's the issue
>>55324037
$250 for 3gb
$300 for 6gb
>>55324016
Because it's all there is to talk about really.
AMD has shifted the conversation away from the enthusiast cards.
The conversation won't snap back until Vega.
>>55324092
you can
>>55324036
So if 480 a high end than that's make the upcoming 390, 390x and Nano replace what cards?
>>55324063
In term of last gen LINE UP not performance, you retard.
>>55323635
I think you could run the card, but it's
1. Better to do research yourself
2. Better to wait for third-party models with better cooling and maybe power consumption
>>55323160
Kek wat. 3GB HBM2 right?
If not I'm not sure that it will even be able to run 1080p high settings properly lol
Especially with a 192-bit bus width... wow... i... no words, only Jimmies now
>>55324092
Hello
>>55324106
Looks like I'll be getting the 480, thank you for the info.
>>55324099
Your 980 Ti actually draws power from the 6/8 pin connectors on the card.
RX 480 pulls 192W from a single PCI-E slot and a 6 pin connector, which are designed for a power draw of 150W max.
>>55323980
>more expensive in EU
>Slower than a 2 year old nvidia card and in some games a 1.5 year old amd card
>4gb version is slower than 8gb card
>doesn't overclock for shit
>runs hotter than a 1080
>draws more power than a 1070 and 970
there really isn't a reason to buy one. i just bought a used 980 a couple of hours ago due to the disappointment i had with this new card.
I'm in the hospital right now because the 480 fans literally ripped off my finger then burned down my house, please guys, do not buy this card
>>55324111
>>55324120
Thanks, I was confused because corsair links me to GS700 when I search for CMPSU 700-GEU, I don't know if they're the same but they look it.
Thing is I don't know how much amps it needs on the +12V rail, just watts tells me nothing
>>55324077
yeah like the french one above...
literally on a stress test 192..
6pins goes for 75 pcie rated for maximum 83 watts
even if you stretch out and use military grade capacitors from a fucking nuclear facility you cant draw 40 freaking watts more its impossible on any level the rails simply cant provide such a demand only an idiot will think that
Welp... if there's any truth to the leaks on the 1060, it'll be MSRP of $250 for the 3GB 192-bit BUS width, using GDDR5.
Which means the 6GB will likely be $300-350
Which means it's going to be useless. Good job nVidia.
This year might actually turn out to be a recovery and market grab year for AMD. Noice.
