Not him, but 3 GB was borderline even last gen, the fact that the 1060 3GB even exists instead of a 4GB for 1080p is just Nvidia trying to nickel and dime mid-tier buyers. 3 is too little if you play the games that break the limit, and 6 is way too much unless someone makes the shittiest PC port ever. The 3 GB version is nearly pointless if you like reasonable overhead, and the 1060 6GB will be near $300, getting dangerously close to 'flagship' prices.

>>55450717
Fuck you We Buying them!!!
anyone who buys the reference 480 is a fucking moron. i can understand not wanting a 3.5 cuck card, but buying a card that damages your motherboard and has zero OC headroom is a terrible idea. at least wait for AIB cards that will have actually functional power delivery and some proper OC capabilities as a result. otherwise you're just getting sub-970 performance at a gouge price.

>>55450740
>it costs as much as the 970 in europe

>and performs worse
said literally no credible source ever
the 480 beats the 970 at dx11 and ogl by a marginal amount. it wrecks it at dx12 and vulkan. this is the consensus and you're stuck here trying to convince yourself that buying a 970 last month wasn't a terrible idea.
I really like AMD cards, but why in the fuck would anyone buy the shitty ass reference 480? It has one of the worst cooler imaginable as well as a shitty PCB.
Why not just wait for Sapphire or another AIB?
>>55450753
I was going to buy the Nitro but turns out it was a side grade with the only advantage being better power (cough) and cooling (cough cough). But it did not make sense in the end so I am gonna get a AIB 1070 instead to replace my 290.
>>55450691
970 is already the same price and same performance as the 480
When 1060 comes out in a few days it will be the same price, faster and more power efficient, better in every way.

that's retarded, in pretty much every 'unbiased' game the reference 970 and 480 are equivalent in performance. an OCed 970 will smoke a reference 480 since the reference 480 has almost zero OC headroom thanks to the shitty cooler, shitty power delivery and the pcie overdraw.

really, there are so many card which draw more than specs suggest. devil series gpu's, asus strix 960 and probably even older gpu's
it's just that mainboards and psu's are much more reliable nowadays so there won't occur anything
the reports of broken mainboards have not been proven and were mostly oxidated mainboard with grease on them. poorfags which looked for an excuse for a replacement
>>55451064
There has literally never been a card that overdraws over the pcie like the 480
That's why the 480 fuckup is such a big deal, motherboards are not made to deal with that wattage

you are more aware of the issues of what you are buying than normies so you should make a educated purchase.

it's an nvidia meme for elitist autists

>that's retarded
yes. it is. you don't try to pass outliers as the norm, unless you're some kind of retard. be those in favor of nvidia OR amd.
>in pretty much every 'unbiased' game the reference 970 and 480 are equivalent in performance
in "pretty much" every single review, that has been proven to be false. the 480 occasionally beats 970s with hefty factory and handily beats the reference models that also come with shitty blower coolers. this doesn't bode well for the coming weeks.
as a 970 owner I am fully ready to accept that there's no reason at all to buy one as of july 2016. 3.5gb is dead.
>>55451048
>It will be $249
remember when idiots claimed the 480 would beat the 980? are you ready to be just as wrong and dumb as they were when you turn out to be full of shit?
>with only 3gb of ram
seriously man, my mum understands this shit better than you do. the amount of vram has little bearing on computing power when the spec is identical.
not to mention that even if the 1060 does churn out more framerates with 3gb of vram, it's going to be crippled by any game that allocates more than that.

1060 has already been proven to be way faster than the 480 in multiple benchmarks.
More RAM does very little for performance, see >>55450867
That's a benchmark from GTA V, one of the most RAM intense games, even going from 2GB to 4GB makes almost no difference.
The hilarious thing is that a 3GB 1060 is beating an 8GB 480.
>>55451142
what are you refering to as "many"?
SHOW ME PROOF FUCKING PROPAGANDA TOOL
>>55451154
Nope, neither of those cards went outside the pcie spec
The 480 is literally the only card in history to go over the pcie spec.
Motherboards are not made to deal with the 480 going over the limit and the pcie slot slowly dies.

How is that hilarious? It's the expected result because the 480 is just a bad card. It's like putting 8gb of ram on an old Pentium.
>Shilling for overpriced gimpworks with no future in dx12
>Shilling for and actually buying reference cards with house fires and no possibility of OC at reasonable temps.
All of you deserve a bullet in the back of your head.
it's funny because the fermi 480 was also rumoured to go outside pci-e spec but based nv reeled it back in somehow
leaving the rx480 the only piece of shit meme card to do it and be officially the worst gpu ever made. the end
>>55451110
How in de heyll
>>55451186
this. i'm surprised the 480 even caused some shit motherboards to fail quickly, damage to traces will normally occur slowly and over time when you pass too much voltage through them, the same principle applies to allowing too much vcore when overclocking a cpu and it dying in 1 year instead of the 30 year MTBF.
>>55451186
You lack even basic knowledge of electricity, while a conductor can sustain spikes and even short burst of current it's not equally tolerate to continuous over current.
That said, I don't see the RX 480 at stock clock to be a big treat for motherboards as rules for conductor sizing contemplate a safe margin, but still, specs should never be violated anyway.
I'm instead concerned in overclock where it goes much more out of specs.
As for the rest, Allyn proved you are even ignoring tests results
>>55451224
Yeah I posted that one but even I think it's bullshit as there are several results for the same card with the exact same score. I tend to believe the first one I posted which was over 3000 with some overclocking.
>>55451169
GTA V is not one of the most VRAM intensive games out, it's a fucking 7th gen game with minor updates. It was originally made for consoles with 512MB of RAM.

yes and two 480's beat one 1080. leaks are the best man. they never deceive us. especially not when they come from wccftech.
are you from /pol/ by chance? because it seems you'll take any kind of shit at face value just as long as it confirms what you're saying.
I legit want the 1060 to be as good as possible because I value progress in silicon more than any fucking brand. but holy shit, stop being stupid on purpose.
>The hilarious thing is that a 3GB 1060 is beating an 8GB 480.

summer /g/ is real.

>>55451228
Watch that video I posted above. If you don't attach the PCIe cable from the PSU securely you could end up pulling massive amounts of voltage from the slot and frying shit instantaneously. They fucked up the cards PCIe spec really badly. He uses a multimeter and is baffled as to why AMD did what they did.
>>55451217
Yeah I agree. It's just funny when people think RAM means so much, when it means so little. The 8GB 480 can't even beat a 3.5 GB 970.
>>55451263
Both Videocardz and wccftech are clickbait sites. They don't give a shit about accuracy just as long as people visit their sites. It's why they try to make each card released sound better than the last.

assuming nothing changes with nvidia then amd will have get a minor, highly situational edge from that at best.
>>55451305
this. do not believe anything you see before the NDA is lifted. you are ONLY going to be disappointed.
That vram meme only shows how retarded ayymdrones are when they buy 8 gigs of ram instead of a card which can OC. 970 was the exception cuz of the difference in bandwidth which could cause stuttering and random fps drops in poorly optimized games (I've noticed some games literally refuse to use last 0.5 gb portion of 970's ram to prevent bottleneck.) You retards keep forgetting that this isn't 2010 any more and with memory clocks reaching 8-9Ghz it's very hard to bottleneck your vram.
>>55451263
It doesn't take a genius to see how the 1060 will easily be faster than the 480
>>55450209
fixed by firmware/driver update.
i wonder how nVidia will fix 3.5GB+0.5GB
>>55451274
I don't understand how they could have fucked up so bad with the 480. Did they just rush it out or what? Is AMD just completely incompetent at this point?
>>55451355
nothing short of seeing into the future will do.
>>55451373
Its just a software issue.
Keep spreading that FUD though. I'm sure Nvidia will totally send you bitcoins.
>>55451370
They simply prevent games from accessing that last chunk
>>55451373
The PCB design team needs firing.
>>55451391
It's not a software issue. Check the above video where he tests the cards board pins with a multimeter. The PCIe 6 pin connector has 3 ground pins which is totally screwy and not in spec as well as other pin oddities.
vram does matter as 4 vs 8GB cards show different results, even when memory clock speeds are the same
it's not a big truck, you can't just load everything in there all at once. even with 8GB you have to shunt stuff around, there are delays between store and read operations. obviously with less ram there will more delays.
>>55451405
It has literally nothing to do with the PCB. The VRM and power delivery are fine, as a matter of fact the 480 has far more robust VRM than the Founders Edition GTX 1080.
The die itself controls how power is pulled to the card, and all of it is adjustable.
>>55451427
It is literally software.
All of the PowerTune IP active in the GPU is controlled through software.
>>55451373
Ever thread everyday for the last 7 days you said the same thing. You don't even need an id on here.
>>55451391
If it's just a software issue, why didn't AMD fix it before launch? Why did they release a broken card?
>>55451427
I'm no electrician but I wonder about the credibility of testing fine hardware like that with a hardware store multimeter
>>55451454
Nothing was "broken" and it isn't affecting every card out there. The ASIC quality rating on the fuse bus and boot time calibration are contributing factors to whether or not a card will show aberrant power draw issues.
>>55451474
Every 480 that has been tested is broken
>>55451454
because amd is incompetent.
they released the fx-9590 which has to be underclocked and undervolted to run stable.
>>55451486
That just isn't true.
S|A did several reviews with their RX 480, even going in depth about adjusting power target values. Their card behaved normally. Power delta idle to load was within TDP, and adjusting power target both up and down resulted power consumption moving accordingly.
Plenty of other reviewers had issue free cards as well, which is why some sites reported lower power consumption figures than others.

>>55451545
>>55451538
I want to know. If some people managed to change bios and unlock extra 4 gigs of ram does it mean they magically gained performance.
>>55451526
That's not true, every time it is measured at the pcie slot it goes over, that is the problem with the 480
>>55451564
>pubes in the fans

Disgusting
>>55451564
Some boards are even shutting down from the 480 giving it too much power, which I suppose is better than it actually damaging the pcie slot
>>55451566
yes, because more ram DOES give a certain amount more fps in latest games despite butthurt poorfa/g/s claiming otherwise. but also the 8GB bios has higher mem clocks.
>>55451554

It's true though, not a single 480 actually works correctly on the pcie slot.
Every single 480 goes over the power on the pcie slot which is why it's damaging motherboards.

no, that would be the witch-hunting going on among you btfo'd-forever amdrones in your own closed-reg (to stop nvidia "shills" coming in and going against the amd hugbox) enclave:

July 22 in the UK....Super Secret source told me look out for some thing on the 14th over here in the US. But for sure its coming this month. I'll drop 300 on this bitch easy.
>>55451656
Already seen like 3 threads on here complaining about motherboard issues with the 480

Good job proving nothing but how desperate and childish you are.
>>55451691
Link, post'um
>>55451691
No, I see posts and topics citing the same handful of vids and threads. If the 480 was as bad as people made then out to be, random anons would be posting screenshots of rigs getting buttfucked by this card in droves.
>>55451691
And no photos or evidence
>When people dont know the reference between reference and consumer
im gaming at 1080P at 60 FPS. A 1070 is overkill for me.
Once the sapphire cards come out im buying one immediately
>>55451760
Just wait a few days for the 1060. It's the same price as the 480, but better in every way.
>>55451750
It pulls too much from PCI and its six pin is out of spec. It should've been an 8 pin, but bridging with one solder point fixes this issue.
I fyou actually bought this you don't belong on /g/
>>55451773
>It's the same price as the 480
Isn't the 1060 going to retail for $300?
>>55451773
>It's the same price as the 480
Oh come on, nobody believes that.
>>55451802
Nobody with a gaymen GPU belongs on /g/.
>>55451804
1060 will be $249
>>55451808
>Nobody with a gaymen GPU belongs on /g/.
What's it like not having friends?
>>55451808
You know what I believe? If AMD can sell 4GB for $200 that turned out to be 8GB then it proves they can sell the 8GBs for $200 so Nvidia better be ready to drop to $200
>>55451858
No one that isn't delusional thinks the 1060 is going for $200 MSRP. The 1060 will outpace the 480, sure, but Nvidia isn't going to let go of that premium.

>the shill still thinks the 1060 isn't anything more than a paper launch PR stunt product based off a cut GP104 die
Everyone except the curries at wccftech have known since April there'd be a third cut of GP104 for marketing purposes. The actual card would be as rare as ye olde GTX 760 Ti, GTX 560 Ti 448 core, and GTX 465; all made to fit performance, time, and PR gaps, and all barely ever put up for sale.
GP106 won't be out for a long time.
>>55451858
So when is the sapphire nitro version coming out?
I only care that it won't destroy my computer with the power draw issues, not overclocking.
>>55451932
See here-> >>55451684
>>55451932
Wait until AMD releases a fix, we don't know if the Sapphire will or will not have the power issue
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING 1060 REVIEWS

Everyone like OP is a giant faggot. Enjoy dropping more cash on your meme card, while I sit here with my 480 enjoying VR.
>>55452006
8pin connector different PCB on the Sapphire, super unlikely it will have the same issue.
>>55451545
the 8GB version has faster ram
>>55452054
Honestly I would not bet on it considering it has the same driver and is based on the same board
>>55452112
true...good point.
I bought a 1080, but plan to sell it in order to get a 490, it's a goy world out there.
>>55452088
4GB GDDR5 @ 7Gbps
8GB GDDR5 @ 8Gbps
The difference is not big also then you bring it from 4GB to 8GB the ram speed increases to 8Gbps because its the same physical type of vram. Its only down clocked by the bios.
>>55450737
That's so staged looking it's cringe inducing.
>>55452210
You're doing the right thing.
>>55451270
wow maybe in 10 years we'll actually see devs taking advantage of this
>>55452245
If it's simple to drop in then it's gonna be used more and more. But feel free to screencap this and post in the future to prove me wrong.
>>55450492
I've used mine for vr since launch and haven't noticed any stuttering yet, but it can't really handle any supersampeling that makes a noticable difference.
>>55452572
This is you hugging Nvidia

yeah, because everyone buying a $200 GPU that kills your motherboard is gonna splash the cash and buy multiple 6950x's until they get a golden chip that can do 4.4ghz.
Nvidia brings everyone 2013 performance in 2016. Way to go Nvidia.

I thought this card made computers explode!
>>55451427
actually it is there is already a thread on ocn on how you can mess with your bios and afterburner so you can find the sweet spot
>>55451564
jesus... why the fuck do curryfags still buy cheap cases like this?
>>55451660
literally 2 idiots
one using riser cards with a x3 480 setup while his motherboard only had 2 pcie slots...
the other claimed he was playing witcher 3 for 7 hours and benchmarking it to oblivion on a case without fans no cable managment and being closed down
later he posted an error d6 which as per asrock is vga related one and someone corrected him that the error 99 is only for pcie problems..he literally fried his card and blamed amd...
>>55452572
being this into damage control
4 years lol
>12gbvs8gbvs6gbvs3.5gb
The last time I believed vram is everything was when I was 13 yo.
Get cucked fanboys.
At the moment i'm happy to wait for either a third party card and see if the 8pin solves anything or a rev2 with some minor redesigns.
One of the worst lanches Iv seen so far ,it's quite entertaining.I got my card last summer with the 300 series and im gland I didnt wait to deal with this shit.
>>55453771
>one using riser cards with a x3 480 setup while his motherboard only had 2 pcie slots
I'm very curious to know his train of thought to reach the conclusion "yeah I'm sure this will work fine"
>>55453811
sure you did lol
its like a pattern every paid shill always got the last summer a 300 amd card
literall they dont even try anymore
>>55453748
It actually just kills your pcie slot so you can't use a video card anymore.
>>55453822
well you know he wasnt really that smart having a 450 watt psu....
>>55453399
Umm the leaks are real.
1060 is faster than the 480 for the same price and comes out in a few days.
>>55453845
I have a 980 Ti on a 450W and works fine.
The 480 will kill your motherboard no matter what PSU you use, because it's a problem with the motherboard slot power.
>>55453848
>leaks
>1 photo of firestrike
>thinking nvidia will supply stock
>>55453857
sure you do i bet your 980ti will work with a 300 psu too because you know paid shills dont even have brain cells anymore
>>55453848
While i don't doubt the 1060 might be more powerful, i do doubt it'll be the same price. Unless Nvidia are assholes, charge the same as the 8gb 480 for the 3gb, hardly make any available and then charge a $50+ premium for the 6, which in actuality is the only card in the series you can get.
>>55453826
I did and im no shill,they were selling 290xs and 390s for the same price last summer
>>55450512
He didnt fall for it once he only went and bought 2.
My fucking sides. Its like standing in a turd then putting your foot in another one
>>55453874
1060 will be $249
>>55453857
Read shit before replying nigger. He shoved 3 480's in there. Plus he used a riser card, he had at least 2 of them connected to the same pcie slot
>>55453892
sure lol they were giving them also free too
>>55453898
strange this is what i thought when people buy nvidia cards that last only one year
>>55453904
There are plenty of motherboards killed by 480s with just one card in them. It doesn't take a lot when the 480 is overloading the voltage 50% over spec.
>>55453925
please provide 5 with proof
only 5.....
but since you dont have any stfu paid shill
>>55453925
>There are plenty of motherboards killed by 480s with just one card in them
Care to provide examples?
>>55453943
I've seen a bunch of them, here's one off the top of my head:
https://community.amd.com/thread/202410
>>55453771
Holy shit the damage control.
> With the help of the community we've discovered that the left most side of the PCI-E slot did indeed get burned. This is new damage and it is the reason the slot no longer functions. GPU temperature at the time of failure was only 78C, we'll within normal ranges. In case it's relevant, CPU Temps were 52-54C on each core. This leads me to the ultimate conclusion that the 480 overdrawing on power did indeed burn out the slot. And just to keep count, 3 other people on this thread are claiming to have the same issue as well so far.
>>55453919
Well that power decrease is good news. Even less performance now than before! wow what a stroke of luck
https://youtu.be/_Kt8PX96ssc
>>55453962
don't worry, AMD's resident indian FUD spreaders are here to 'correct' this propaganda!
>>55453962
Honestly makes me sad these people bought a brand new card that actually destroyed their current hardware.
I hope AMD or someone pays for this shit.
>>55453943
A video will be out soon , Someones bought some mobos to see if the theory is true & is doing tests to see exactly what it does.
Once its out I will post
>>55453976
the kind of person that buys a $200 card doesn't have the kind of money to hire an attorney to fight a legal battle like that.
AMD is bleeding tons of money, but they still make billions every year in revenue and can drag court cases out for years and cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars even if you win in the end.
>>55453996
I imagine a class action lawsuit will happen so they can pool all these people together to get their money back.
AMD can't get away with this shit.
>>55453960
you mean the ONLY one of them that actually got debunked...
you dont even bother to read do you know paid shill
>>55453962
did you even bothered to read 14 pages? no one indeed said anything about a fried pcie the "community he reffers to was the reddit nvidia page he asked there" hint go to page 10 and later but hey nvidia board must be non bias i guess

>>55454085

Yeah, except the guy he selected as having the correct answer in the thread.
This is just embarrassing.
>>55454085
It's real, there's actually at least 2 guys there who got their board messed up by the 480
>>55454142
Thats no suprise, Cheap faggots buying shitty mobo's and dodgy gpu's
>>55451545
i don't get this, if you want to play AC why don't you get a PS4/XBOXONE? Lol, there are so many good games for pc that only require a 750ti
>>55453848
15% better performance (source nvidia true performance will be shown with third party benchmarks) with less ram 300$ for full specced card and bottleneck through slow bus. It probably won't be able to use the 6gb ram properly, it's not a better choice.
>>55454368
Bit of a dumb question. Ok. People want to play at a decent fps, also at 1080p,1440 and maybe 4k. Literally everything is ramped up an the game compared to a console.
Only similarity is some play it on a controller
750ti games, not really I want to play on ultra settings thanks
>>55454338
What I don't get is why release a budget card for non-budget mobos
Is my RX 480 not a motherboard killer? I've been playing games for a good day or so, keeping an eye on my GPU's power draw via GPU-Z. I have not seen it gone above 126w, and that's the max it spiked to with an average of 102w while playing games such as GTA V, and Overwatch. I'm playing this on a shitty MSI Z97 PC mate, and should I be worried? How much of this 100w is coming from my PCIe slot?
>>55450540
2.5 GB
>>55450706
ye its called wasting your money
>>55454512
GPU-Z doesn't measure the actual power consumption of your card. The numbers it shows are useless for most people.
>>55454579
Then what exactly is it showing? An estimate?
>>55451545
Assassin's creed games are the special kind of child with special needs. AC Unity and Syndicate are both really unoptimized and to play them comfortably you need GPUs over $400. It's pointless to play these outside of consoles. Wait no, it's pointless to play these period.
I would throw The Witcher 3 in. That's a not-so recent game that still fucking needs a decent build.
Most other games though? My 280x is fine with them. Just fine.
How come Nvidia drivers are worse than AMD now?
>>55454613
Witcher 3 is not that bad with hairworks turned off.
>>55454512
I'd say wait and see for a bit. The issue was just discovered, so of course every single thing that resembles it will be blown out of proportion. Look at the 970 for instance, in practice the 3.5gb are a non issue 99% of the time.
If we start seeing fried pcie slots consistently, then we can assume the fucking thing is a broken mess.
>>55454649
Should I put off playing games until that new driver comes out later today?
>>55454405
Even I got a budget PC, cheaping out on the PSU and Mobo is just asking for misfortune. Either focus on a build with an upgrade path or get a 750ti as a stand in.
>>55454652
Of course not. Just pay attention to how it's performing. If you see crashes and the like, you can think of an erratic power delivery. Until then use it like anything else.
