>talks about a problem even AMD has admitted to.
>hes a shill, fucking must be a paid shill totally.
>>
>>55487698
The truth is that the PCI-E specification allows a card to ask for more power, and if the motherboard can handle it, it can decide to let the card draw more than the 75W standard.
>>
no fucking shit, of course they knew it, how is this some revelation for this fat retard?
>>
>>55489540
Tell that to all the people whose motherboards died when they used a 480.

Bullshit, motherboards have no protection against cards like the 480 overdrawing power.

>>55490395
Every time someone asks for proof, that one link with that one motherboard gets posted. Out of all the cards sold only that one person made a thread. Nice.
>>
>>55490414
>I should clarify. The only motherboards that will likely experience any issues are those with terrible power delivery integration or boards from ~2006 and earlier
>>
So literally the only argument against the card is the power issue that at most affected like 5/n units sold already, and only affected mobos that were actual shit?
>>
>>55490418
It's not, pcie cards are only allowed to draw 75W from the slot.

That's why there's never been a card that draws more than that...until the 480
>>
>>55489540
Yeah no. The motherboard doesn't decide how much power is drawn, it can only shut it down if there are protection circuits present.

And those aren't meant to be triggered in normal use. They are the final solution to short to ground.

There's at least 10+ cases of the 480 killing motherboards and the card just came out. I'll start posting some of them here.

They can limit power draw. Any motherboard that isn't a cheap piece of shit that doesn't follow specifications will do this.

It affects every single 480 on sale right now.

There are no aftermarket 480 on the market right now.
>>
>>55490480
Nope, there's not a single motherboard out there that limits power draw on the pcie.

That's why the 480 is such a problem, it runs too much power through the motherboard and destroys it over time.

It has nothing to do with cheapness and you're not saying anything I didn't already say. The protection circuits can kick in while the RX 480 doing its thing, but that's just as fucking bad. How do you like your computer shutting down while playing video games?

Stop lying. Every motherboard that isn't a cheap piece of shit does.

If a graphics card taking a couple more watts out of the PCI-E slot will fry your motherboard, you bought a really shitty motherboard.
>>
>>55490514
Nope, there is no motherboard in existence that can deal with the 480 overdrawing power. All of them go over the limit or just shut down completely like >>55490507 said.

>>55490520
>couple of watts
Try 150% of rated power, which is already 300% of original rated power.
>>
>>55490520
Actually what you did is bought a really shitty video card like the 480 that kills motherboards.

It's funny because the guy in the video above used a 980 Ti (huge power draw) and it worked perfectly fine.

Then he put a 480 in the same system and it kept crashing.

My motherboard is great.

I wouldn't want to damage it though with a 480. The problem with the overdraw is it damage your motherboard over time, so you never know when the 480 is going to kill your motherboard. Could be in a day, could be in months.

He's correct..... Thats why I'm waiting for the Sapphire Nitro.

> My motherboard is great.
Yeah, no. It's really not.
>>
>>55490532
This is not true, Nvidia/AMD bios modding on the overclockers net forum have been modding bios to draw more power from the pcie-rail and the pcie-e power connectors and you can draw more than 88watts (although not recommended) from the pcie-rail itself continuously without the pc shutting down, theres no failsafe on the motherboard to prevent a GPU from drawing too much power from the pcie-rail, i believe there were some workstation motherboards that had the setting on the bios and applied it on windows log on but hardware could still bypass the limit.

It depends a lot on your motherboard how fast the 480 will kill it.

Some motherboards will get killed by the 480 in seconds because they can't handle it. Others the burn takes a while to destroy. That's the worst part, you never know when the 480 is going to make your motherboard stop working.

>The second adjustment is an option inside Radeon Settings, called "Compatibility Mode", kinda vague, and the tooltip doesn't reveal anything else either. Out of the box, the setting defaults to off and should only be employed by people who still run into trouble, even with the adjusted power distribution from the first change, which is always on and has no performance impact. When Compatibility Mode is enabled, it will slightly limit the performance of the GPU, which results in reduced overall power draw.

Isn't on by default. "should only be employed by people who still run into trouble", so after your mobo is fried turn it on. "will slightly limit the performance of the GPU" ahahahaa they just gimped their card so it doesn't exceed spec. This is too good.

It has 5-10% performance difference, and even that on only half the tested games (on the other half the 480 is 5-10% faster).

And the 970 already started getting gimped in drivers, while the 480 is getting performance boosts.

2 years later the 480 will be trading blows with the 1070 while the 970 will be slower than the 1050. Go ahead and screencap this.

On that note, can all PCIE slots do 75W or only the x16 one? If the x1 one can't do that much then it is no wonder that his board blew up.

In 2 years the 970 will have 50% more performance than the 480.

Eventually AMD will gimp the 480 so bad it won't even be able to run at 1080p.

atx is 12v, barely enough to tickle
>>
>>55492304
the problem was he was using 2 riser cards on one slot.. and it didnt burned the pcie and that was a cheap ass mobo also..
he was literally getting double the wattage from it
>>
>>55489174
AMD fixed it in a week. How many components or software have bugs on the release which are solved almost instantly? Fucking all of them. Why do you think motherboards have 4+ revisions? Most within the first year? Why do you think reference cards should be left to benchmarking only, and wait for third party cards with proper cooling?

>>55492378
It's not fixed. The new driver still goes over the power limit on both the pcie slot & the 6-pin.
>>
>use 480
>no issue whatsoever
>memes on /g/
I guess some inexistant power issue is far better than the 3.5 GB thing though.
>>
>>55492460
Both are non issues if they don't affect you.
>>
>>55492460
480 power issue is much worse. Could kill your motherboard over time, never know when the issue will pop up.

>>55492484
Look at pcper's own numbers.

It's still drawing over the limit in both directions, even in compatibility mode.

The 480 disaster never ends.
>>
>>55492476
you mean like the random nvidia drivers that still burns down randomly the cards?

yeap sounds like it
>>
>>55492459
It only spikes over the pci-e slot power limit now which virtually everything does and is fine, and nobody cares about the 6pin drawing more as it's literally a non issue unless you're using a shitty bargain bin psu.
>>
>>55492476
>>55492459
You can't really believe this is a problem, I refuse to believe people are this stupid.
>>
>>55492459
it's less than 75W on the PCIE slot and there is no actual limit to what a 6pin can take these. They put exactly the same wires on the 8 pins so a 6 pin is never going to melt.
>>
>>55492538
>480 literally destroys your motherboard

obviously you really dont know what you are talking about..
obviously drawing 75-76 is way above the spec of a 75 pcie slot
hmmm either blind or nvidia really pays well
>>
>>55492553
Not true, the 480 is still drawing over the limit on the PCIE slot and especially over the 6-pin.

AMD failed so bad with the 480, I don't even understand why they fucked up so bad.
>>
>>55492557
It's drawing like over 6A on the 12V.
The spec is 5.5A. So he's right. It's still over the limit. Not as severely as before though.

the picture from your own paid shill site proves you wrong
unless ofc you are saying they photoshopped the 70 there
give it a rest you lost end of story find something else that 480 is bad
like i dont know being red
or small
or has lower clocks than nvidia
or stealing the 480 name whatever

Show me a destroyed motherboard caused by the new drivers.

The other two have been widely debunked.

>>
>>55492598
Sorry you can't handle the truth
>>
>>55492504
So they just need to gimp the card a bit more.
>>
>>55492588
Exactly. The 480 is still over the power limit. AMD is so incompetent. The 480 is fundamentally flawed and cannot be fixed.
>>
>>55492557
Did they show how much performance is lost in compatibility mode?
>>
Can someone explain why /g/ is scrambling so hard to defend this card?
>>
>>55492640
I would welcome that if it improved performance like the last time they (((gimped))) it

>>55492656
it actually gained performance in both modes, but don't tell the Nvidia shills or they might kill themselves

Wrong, the 480 lost 5% performance from classic AMD gimping

It's a decent card for the money and that upsets people.

Just wait, drivers just came out, the dead motherboard count just keeps piling up from the damage the 480 does.

problem is for nvidia though the dx12 will enable good multi gpu support by default

When Samsung will buy Radeon Technology/AMD?
>>
>>55492737
because cards tend to gain perfomance when you undervoltage them
its a common knowledge since powercolor s3.....
>>
>>55492745
Does DX12 even need SLI? Can't if just use two 1060's in the same rig at the same time?
>>
>>55492745
they cant even use async on hardware level and you think they will handle the bandwidth required to run the EMA on the mgpu? lol its gonna be a stutterfest
>>
>>55492754
lol what
>>
>>55492728
Not as much as shilling ;^)
>>
>>55492776
cards when being undervoltage they automaticly increase the clocks to compensate
hense gaining in perf its good the 480 as refrence
aib's probably will have their own bios

i would bet my ass of that you aren't able to profit form dx12 multigpu if you haven't enabled an sli bridge aswell. nvidia are still jews.

there is a reason (actually 2) that nvidia wont give to ref cards sli capabilities...

2)aib's wont be able to sell many of them

there isnt really a comparison to make...
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_r9_rx_480_8gb_review,11.html

480 is just 11 fps behind 1070..and that is before the 4% it got from the new driver...

enjoy being cucked for life green shill
>>
God this is so boring. I can't wait until we can talk about flagship cards again instead of this low-end rubbish run to within an inch of it's life in order to eek out enough performance to call it new.
>>
>>55493197
you are right its pathetic to talk about nvidia cards they never deliver to their promise

makes perfect sense that they wanted it out before 1060 because no one in their right mind would buy AMemeD
