Is this the worst video card of all time?
It's far from the worst ever, but it is a big disappointment in just about every way and AMD should have done better if they truly wanted to save their name.
>>55428177
Fuck off. This is not a consumer review site.
the reference models are pretty bad
custom models are not that bad, they are decent apart from the shitty performace/watts ratio.
>tfw you want AMD to beat NVIDIA just once so you dont end up in a monopoly with 1k+ dollar video cards
fucking pajeets
>>55428177
nah, Fury Nano was worse at launch
It's at least top 3
>>55428242
lol @ that heatsink

>still perf/watt king and perf/dollar king of its generation
So why did AMD think they would get away with this? Like this seems like the company is literally committing suicide.
>>55428193
AMD speaks disappointment. They held true to their name with this card
>>55428177
why doesn't amd ever win im so fucking sad

>>55428745
are posts like this real or are nvidia shills false-flagging?
>>55428745
Because AMD is just one letter away from spelling BAD when you change the 1st index character to a B and swap the 0 index and 1st index after that.
>>55428177
I'm really glad I went with a R9 380x.
>>55428177
if you pay me to say so, sure
>>55428242
perf/watt means nothing, and even if it did this is still on par with the 970
is it disappointing for 14nm? yes. is it bad by 2016 standards? no.
perf/price wise this thing is the king. nvidia has no answer for it in that price range. except paying shills to be loud and obnoxious on /g/.
>>55428745
the fucking reference card is selling hotcakes. i'm pretty sure this is the opposite of losing. the launch was certainly bumpy, but not as bad as /g/ may lead you to believe.
>>55428940
>14nm GPU uses the same power as 2 years old 28nm GPU for the same performance
>GTX 1070 uses less power and is almost twice as fast
I'd say that's pretty bad for 2016.

No, it's the best regarding the price/performance.
>>55428940
>perf/watt means nothing,
says the fool that needed a CLC solution for their graphics card
>>55428177
Can AMD fall down any lower?
>>55428242
I dont get the heat sink. Is it closed in one of the sides? why?
>>55429114
Noob
No. YOU ARE.
>>55428242
>>55428303
Can you explain the heatsink?
>>55429151
Thats fucking awesome I jsut called 3 micro centers trying to get the 4GB versions, all sold out!
>>55429211
it's tiny. that's about it.
>>55429211
(this was me)
Googled it and it turns out its because it looks/is wimpy..
Honestly, I have felt the stock cooler is a bit wimpy as well from the leaked images. Despite AMD claiming the use of a cooler worthy of a $500 GPU, the heatsink is surprisingly small and underpowered. The only similarities with the Nano and R9 390(X) coolers is aesthetics. Given that cooling is a major factor in overclocking especially with the denser 14nm process, custom AIB models may be the way to go for overclockers as usual. Either way, we won’t have long to wait and find out for ourselves.

oh my, hahaha
that's it, i'm gonna get one of the 4gb ones just for shits and giggles
>>55429279
Just wait for the custom cards, Anon.
This is not worth it.
>>55428982
yeah, it's disappointing. but it's AMD, they've always sucked at perf/watt, which doesn't mean dick to me. I don't run clusters of GPUs. I use one, two at most. the difference is 5 bucks a year. big deal. give me framerates instead.
it's possible globalfoundries will get their shit together or AMD will switch fabs so that vega doesn't suck complete ass compared to pascal. but that has nothing to do with the 480's value today.
as it stands, nvidia has dick all under 379$ USD, which is where the majority of purchases are made. it's bad business and they're about to lose market share unless the 1060 delivers.
>>55428177
>not integrated
It automatically sucks, man.
>it takes days for "professional reviewers" to notice that the RAM amount is not the one written on the box

Go away nvidia

It's not even the worst video card called the 480 of all time.
>>55429834
kek
I can give you 3.5 videocards that were worse
I cancelled my Nitro 480 order because my overclocked R9 290 pretty much beat it in a lot of test results. I've ordered a MSI 1070 Gaming X instead which although 200 more will at least give me a pretty beefy boost and allow me to run every 1080 game out there at max settings @ 60 FPS minimum. It will also give me headroom for when I eventually upgrade the monitor.
The custom AIB's won't get much faster than 1400Mhz if you are lucky. They only managed to get to 1600Mhz using a custom water cooler and special electronic addon that allows to pull more from the power connector. They stated already they putting 8 pins instead of 6 won't help you overclock it anymore than 6 pin. This is from elite overclockers who mod the shit out of hardware with soldered on addon's and liquid nitrogen etc and use specialist overclocking software (EvC I think it was called). They know their stuff. The 480 is dead in the water for overclocking on air.
I probably should buy this card or a 480
My GTX 470 Heats my room up so bad my feet feel like burning
And room feels fucking hot
After only 1 hour of csgo competitive
Atleast after Getting it out of service it will serve as a beautifull eye candy
>>55430431
Oh shit i meant GTX 560
So this board has devolved into pathetic trolling like the op. I'm done here.
>>55428177
It's fine in terms of performance. The power-draw is obviously a disappointment, 32ROPs was also a retarded choice. The PCIe issue can be fixed with aftermarkets, at least.
>>55430453
>560
i do believe you mean rebranded fermi 470
>>55428177
that is not the gtx480
>>55428177
Nah that would be the titan x
>>55430401
>The 480 is dead in the water for overclocking on air.
For now, I'm pretty sure it's mostly Samsung's shitty process, the power-draw hints towards that. Might get better later on with respective binning.
>>55430684
But it burns your house like one. :^)
>>55430663
It is a weird as fuck videocard I litteraly can cook a egg in it
i will cook a egg in it tommorow
might as well do something usefull this summer
I need some help from you.
I need to get rid of this fucking junk computer parts and get new ones, but im on a budget of $330.
I've made a list of cpu, gpu and mobo and i wanna know if it is the best choice i have.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZQ6Yr7
I've been thinking about a rx 460 but i will get it only if it will be under $150 in my country
also, how good will it be?(460)
>inb4 /g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
>>55430831
what card are you using atm?
no one can reliably tell at this point, because no hard info has been released regarding the 460 and 470`other than that they will exist. if you're really on that low of a budget, you might actually want to look into buying something past gen. prices will probably only go down from here.
>>55429151
lmao
>>55428177
Yes
