>>339825191
Not defending AMCUKS but 2 480 are cheaper than 1080.
If you're a poor fag you can buy one first and then the 2nd one.
>>339825385
Hardly any games have decent SLI/Xfire support. 1 is great for money but people who buy 2 are going to be sorely disappointed.

That won't matter with dx12/vulkan, which is what AMD is completely banking on.
>>339824781

Good on AMD. It'll also force jewvidia to lower the 1060 launch price, regardless of it's capabilities.
Everybody wins.

>>339825516
>>339825728

>I've been looking for a new card
well maybe I'll get this one then. I'm gonna miss shadowplay though, its really useful for recording stuff. with dxtory I have to fiddle around and hope I get a flawless 60fps.
Any tips?
>>339825875
Meaning almost all games that have already been made won't have any benefit at all, and by the time there are dx12 + Vulkan games out (and that's IF they catch on), there will be better value GPUs available.
>>339825982
Well that sounds amazing for 200 bucks. There has to be a dealbreaker
>>339825875
Yeah cause most devs aren't historically lazy about implementing these kinds of technologies or anything.
>>339825982
Only in dx12 games, which 980 doesn't fully support.
In most games it will be around 970 level.
>>339826104
It's AMD so expect driver support for newer games to be behind.
>>339825889
480.
I'd wait for Zen cpu's to come out, see what they offer and, perhaps, lower Intel's prices a bit. But an i5-6600K is great. If you want cheaper, look at older i5's.
>no benchmarks
>two of them is marginally better than a 1080 in a game that's been optimized for AMD cards forever and clearly on a lower LOD setting
please stop
>>339826023
Use plays.tv, it's pretty much the same concept
>>339826127
980's just an OC'd 970 so you should be fine either way.
>>339826036
Can't say things like that anon, an assblasted AMDrone might post a AOTS benchmark again and then what will we do.
>buying cards on release
No one learned from the 970 I see.
>>339826107
It won't have anything to do with the developers
>>339826036
Because its not like tech companies like to implement new tech to ensure it works outside of r&d
>>339826226
A lot of AMD's cards lately have been poor overclockers, so I wouldn't count on it being 980 level.
>>339826206
oh, thanks lad. I've been given a 670 for free by my best friend but its time for an upgrade
>>339824781
I don't even know if this is a false flag or just a genuine shitpost anymore.
>>339825889
Wait for benchmarks, rx480 should be better.

Yeah but 480 is for 1080p while 1070 is for 1440p.
>>339826289
>DX12 xfire/sli improvements require no implementation and are automatic
prepare for disappointment.
How is this card compared to an R9 290 for 1920x1080?
4k is irrelevant to me.
>>339824781
I hope it does well for them.
>>339826257
Or any other benchmark for dx12 games that shows that amd cards scale better with it.
AMD had a bit of supremacy in like 2004 when they had the first true 64bit processors, trust me i owned one.
There is no reason to own anything AMD after this period. You're just getting memed on.

>>339824781
>microstuttering
>2x more powerful than nvidia
Why must you lie? It's about the same as a 390, just cheaper.
>>339826289
Tech companies, sure, but not video game developers.
This is a video game board, so I'm talking completely within the context of video games.
DX11 took years to catch on, and plenty of games are still using DX9.
DX12 will be exclusive to microsoft's games because no dev is going to spend extra time and money just for W10 users when DX11 works on 7 and 8 as well.
As for Vulkan, it may catch on, but people were saying the same thing about Mantle, which got like 5 games before being re-branded.
>>339826407
It's better, much more power efficient, too.

>>339826402
Of course its still going to be beholden ultimately to the developers competence in optimization, but the primary purpose of dx12/vulkan is to remove as much software overhead as possible, which will reduce how much developers can fuck up.

Yeah "people". Mantle was poached by MS midway through development, and at that point became nothing more than a proof of concept, which it succeeded at.
>>339826384
when did this brand loyalty meme start
up until 2012 they were both pretty much exactly equal and you just bought what was better for the price
>>339826748
That software was there to begin with because it wasn't feasible to do it any other way until a few years ago, it had nothing to do with developers.
>>339826440
If everyone bought nvidia then nvidia would have free reign of the market and could price their products at whatever the fuck they want because they'd know that they're the only option. You aint helping shit with that suggestion, if anything you're making things worse.i agree with you, but going around telling people not to buy something that literally needs to be bought to keep the market stable is a bad move.
>>339826635
1070 is 400$. AMD aimed for one share of the market, Nvidia the other. The rest will eventually follow.
>>339826757
Which should make people more skeptical and not consider Vulkan to be a 'sure thing', Laying down money for a GPU because you assume a piece of software is going to make it better down the line is pretty shitty reasoning. 480 is great for price, but buying 2 instead of one stronger card is stupid.
>>339826776
Brand loyalty for gpu's has been around since the fucking 90's.
>not going 3dfx

>>339826386
I think AMD claimed the 480 could do 60 fps at 1440p. We'll have to wait till the card comes out to be sure.
Getting an r9 480. How much of a step up is it from a GTX 760?
Can it handle 1080p, but high response rate (144hz) gaming?
>>339824781
here in aus the 1080/1070's are gonna be like $5 grand a piece so I'm thinking about getting one of these.
I have a recently built computer with new everything but I'm using a borrowed Nvidia 680
would it be worth me buying this card for 1080p gaming?

>>339825728
on sub dx12, you're right.
that said, if i had the money for 2x 480 i'd rather buy a stronger card. hate to clog up the pc case space.
>>339824781
It's a pretty genius move by AMD though.
On paper, it sounds like you're getting a better deal by buying two mid-range GPUs and using them in crossfire.
Not sure they could have pulled it off without ashes though, considering async compute is meme tech that devs aren't going to use when it only benefits a small minority of consumers.
>>339827504
I read it's to be about a GTX 970 or 980 and looking at those reviews 1440p wasn't always at 60fps. I'm sure tweaking some options here and there would fix that.
But yes benchmarks are a must.
>>339824781
I salute pioneers who will purchase this card first and find out were they lucky enough to have AMD deliver what was promised.
Until then this is for me luxury card since I would need to buy another, decent one, if this flops.
>>339825889
>GTX970
No, for fucks sake, no. Why do people still insist on considering this as an option?
390, 390x, 480 or 1070. Nothing else.

As a guy who doesn't give a flying fuck about 4k
the future looks bright as fuck
I am in the middle of upgrading my computer and I was planning on picking up a 390X. Then they announced this.
For those of you who know, should I just wait for the 480?
I almost want to upgrade my computer again, it's been a few years. My FX 8350 has served me well but the idea of new cpu's and new gpu's sexually excites me.
I love my GTX 760 but it's not cutting it anymore with modern games either.
>>339828491
Well, with a little bit of overclocking it would be barely noticeable if that's the case. I think I'll end up getting the 480 at this rate.
RX-480 seems quite nice given the price point.
Pascal and Polaris are both pretty much a placeholder generation and the real heavy hitters won't be released until 2017-2018.
RX480 should last through the next two years for sure.
>>339828546

>>339824781
>2x more powerful than nvidia
sounds like youre 2x more stupid than anyone else
the rest of this concerned: its all marketing and ill explain how:
$199 just means theyre releasing their VR capable GTX 1060. if you think you can get 1070 performance for $200 for AMD youre dreaming. now, i agree that performance wise you can argue the AMD gives a better bang for your buck, but when you have a specific taste in games, for example, if you love Fallout 4 then you probably stayed away from the 300 series because for whatever reason they couldnt keep a steady 60 fps while the 970 can (talking about the 300 counter of the 970) and also if you like MMOs for example WoW runs better on nVidia INSANELY better than on AMD for w/e reason.
IMO AMD's 8 core CPUs made me hate their CPUs forever while intel's i5 performs better, thats kind of a joke on AMD's side.
i was gonna get an AMD card but after much research it looks like nVidia is either more liked by certain companies that at least i enjoy.
Wait for real benchmarks and stop believing PR

No anon, the 480 is specially tailored for mainstream 1080p 60 fps, it can surely play something at 30 or so fps at 1440p, but that's just pushing it.
The 1070 is the perfect card for 1440p gaming, doing 1080p with it is a waste of money, though.

Let nvidia be for edgefags. I am content playing my games like this.

>>339826190
It's not on a lower LOD setting however, Nvidia drivers are bugged causing the GTX 1080 to render a lower amount of snow than supposed to. So technically the GTX 1080 is the one that is rendering less and not the other way around.

NO FUCK YOU YOURE RETARDED MY BRAND IS WAY BETTER THAN THAT OTHER SHITTY LESS GOOD BRAND AND ANYONE THAT THINKS OTHERWISE IS SUBHUMAN TRASH
I sometimes wonder why people are always this passionate about graphics cards.
They are purely quantitative, and one card can be measured as being objectively better on a number of different parameters, like FPS, price, power consumption et cetera.
It's not something subjective like buying a rug or paiting, there will be a technical and objectively better product for whatever variables you value the most.
How is this even a debate

So I'm a fucking idiot when it comes to computers. I've got a 770 4GB that I've had for around two years now, and it's served me pretty well.

I meant 8gb 480, sorry
>>339833162
But single cards are always better than SLI/crossfire. What are you going to do when a game isn't optomized or doesn't support dual GPU set ups? You're kinda fucked because you invested your money into a feature that most developers may not care about or properly support.

well I got liquid cooling for free from a friend, so I was thinking I might do it, people were able top get a stable 4.5 ghz running on it, but it will run like that at all times. Although it is a very power efficient cpu, so something like 4.2 might be for me. Idk was just asking if anyone had any thoughts

the fuck? mid range cards at 60fps @1080p is a standard 2 gens ago
The only remotely exciting thing AMD has is Zen. If Zen proves to be a match for Intel but cheaper, I'm going with Zen. Plus AMD needs it.
>>339833802
Well, anytime you overclock regardless of the temps you can keep you are reducing the life of the hardware. Just keep that in mind. It's really not something worth doing unless you're really needing that extra performance.
Dont make poop jokes about my friend Raja again, I mean it!
>>339834004
maybe just have the liquid cooling for the occasional overclock? I mean with 4.2 GHz you better have a good motherboard and GPU to back that shit up
>>339824781
>2x more powerful than nvidia
People believe this
>needing crossfire
College roomate used to crossfire and he had so many problems with it, micro stuttering, lag not even on highest settings
>>339833664
DX12 isn't going to magically make the problems of crossfire/sli disappear or fix shitty developers that plague the industry.
AMD or Nvidia you're going to want a single kick ass GPU that will be fully capable of playing games no matter what kind of API you're running it on.
>>339833932
Yeah, but since last console gen launched recommended specs on pc jumped up too. Games today and games three years ago... requirements have grown considerably now
>>339824781
If 480 is this strong don't this mean 480x, 490 and 490x will blow NVIDIA the fuck out ?

You got your memes backwards.
>>339834368
midrange is all MAD is good at
and even that title was taken away by nvidia when the 970 came out
>>339834368
Potentially but AMD is using jewish trickery here to deceive us into thinking that. It's running crossfire on a game heavily optimized for AMD. I wouldn't put to much stock into them.
>>339834510
It's red and AMD designs hot GPUs and CPUs.
>MADcucks don't want to admit it to themselves they'd be better off buying a 980 during the summer when the prices drop than the fucking 4gibs 480
Oh boy. So sad.
I have a question.
So the two big purchases I'm missing are monitor and GPU, which might have to go hand in hand depending if I care about going either GSYNC or FREESYNC. Planning on getting a 21:9 monitor but that's not here nor there.
So exactly under what circumstances can screen tearing occur? And should I bother with a GSYNC/FREESYNC monitor at all? Because the 21:9's are hard and expensive to shop for as it is without having to factor the sync into account.

Fermi had huge heat issues
>>339834368
Nvidia will literally spend millions manufacturing a chip with 95% failure rate just to sell a card in limited qualities they can send to their Public Relation houses aka "Hardware Sites" that beats whatever AMD has.
And their kiddie fanbase will eat it up.
Holy fuck I swear AMD faggots are the most delusional abominations i've seen in my life
Its okay, I get it, you are poor as fuck and can't afford shit besides your daily ramen and monthly allowance from mommy and daddy for games
This new RX 480 card doesn't have the performance of a 1070, or 1060 Ti. The game they shilled the benchmark is AMD optimized DX12 game called Ashes of Singularity with a overall rating 6/10. Apparently they managed to get 4 frames more than one single 1080 in crossfire. Congratulations. But there are couple things that don't make sense.
First thing is that they use two RX 480 8GB versions, which will cost 250$+ on launch.
Also settings were 1080p on both system.
The fact that GTX 1080 although released couple days ago has shown way better ingame screenshots vs the crossfire RX480 setup. The snow details are more clear, the mountains look detailed, overall colors look more appealing while AMDs screenshot of the CF setup looks very blurry and details aren't the same level as GTX 1080s.
So obviously the settings aren't on point or something is changed in the setup of AMD. Be it the drivers or game settings. Even tho its an DX12 game which should perform better on AMD (and win10) it performs surprisingly weak in a CF setup.
Also AMD never stated that they use custom drivers and CF bios for this presentation vs unoptimised DX12 1080 drivers from Nvidia.
We never seen the mhz of the GPUs clocked at. The utilization doesn't really matter because in a CF setup its always differs 1 card can be on 99% while the other is at 50% utilization. GTX 1080 performed very good with 98%-99% utilization over all 3 batches. While AMD CF setup is just a terrible comparison with the entire utilization of two GPUs.
Since the RX480 4GB or 8GB is not even close to Fury X performance its just beyond
disappointing. Benchmarks with different games on 29th will reveal RX480 real face which will lead into buying Nvidias 1070 or 1060 Tis.

Meanwhile AMD's CURRENT shit runs toasty.
>>339835070
both manufacturers are needed to guard against overpricing and stagnation of tech improvement, so I could care less who's making what, so long as they keep battling each other.
Funny thing people need to understand is, although AMD is inferior in the CPU and GPU department, we need them in the market. For this very reason I never come into these threads or into conversations between friends and explain to them why the nvidia cards are better. I NEED computer illiterate people to continue buying AMD stuff so there is competition in the market.
>>339830294
what does that mean?
>>339825889
Never buy AMD. You will always regret it in the end. They're great for driving prices down but their actual hardware is always poorly supported and never works as well as nvidia or Intel.
That said, 970 is probably a bad choice, grab a 1070 and an i5

I have a bit of a confession to make.
I go on /g/ and /v/, youtube, tech forums, etc and I shill for AMD, hoping they'll sell more of their shit cards.
For no other reasons besides hoping the prices of Nvidia high end cards drop a bit.

First game that uses DX12 from the ground up, can't blame them when there isn't much being offered yet unlike say games that obviously slanted by sponsorships and gameworks like Nvidia's when there are alternatives for DX11.

yeah, and same goes for reference and non-reference AMD cards. What IS your point?
I'm working with a budget of $1500 USD and I have no idea where to begin when it comes to making a custom PC. Could anyone recommend a build for the above price?
>>339836857
Spend $400 on a ps4
spend the rest on BK chicken nuggets, which are only 10 for $1.50
Steelseries is better than Logitech/Razer.
Ducky is better than DAS keyboards.
BenQ is the best monitor brand.
Sapphire for AMD, EVGA for Nvidia.
Prove me wrong.You can't.

AMD doesn't know how to increase the processing power of each cpu core, so they just stick more cores on their cpu-s, but cut back on everything else
This leaves you with extremely flawed cpu-s that have diminished performance
Just get an i5, Intel is pretty much dominating the cpu market anyway
