People who buy AMD aren't enthusiasts anyways. Only true PC gamers will buy NVIDIA.
Just give me some proper fucking benchmarks, so I know which one is the bigger piece of shit.
>>340685515
that's precisely what I want famalamshamdamn
>>340685650
its an efficient, cool running 290x/390 for $200
>>340685515
It has at least 390, probably close to 390x/Fury performance. That's 2560x1440 territory.
1080p is becoming obsolete
>>340685515
that's literally what everyone wants and exactly what the card is designed to do and also aimed at.

It's tempting to just pick up one of these new graphic cards cause they're so cheap, but there's another part of me that says I should wait.
I've yet to play The Witcher 3 or the Metro series, other than those I can't think of anything else on PC that I want to play to benefit from the purchase of a new GPU using a 1920x1080 monitor.

Well duh. Just wait for the 490 in a few months and see how it compares to the 1070. Then see how the 480's doing
In the end you have a clear view of what to get. If I'm gonna be getting a card for 3-4 years, I'm not gonna be buying on impulse.
>>340689719
>wait fag
Yea, and by the time the 490 after market comes out, then the 490X will be announced without benchmarks. Then when the 490X comes out, the 5XX series will be announced. Then when the 5XX series comes out, then 580 will come out.
Do you see a pattern here?

490x is too expensive. People generally want to stay in the 300-400 buck range. The x series gives marginal gains you can achieve through an overclock.
>>340688698
the gtx 1070 is at least £400 you mong
480 will be around ~£170
>>340690262

You're the mong
>>340690082
that's not how GPU releases work. AMD 5xx series and Nvidia 11xx series aren't due until 2018.
GPU releases work in 18 months cycles. Waiting ~3 months for a card that will stay current for ~15 months is in fact a smart choice.
I hope the R9 480 sells like crazy and that Nvidia does a price cut on the 1070 in response.
>>340687586
m8, I can play MEC on high at 1440p and maintain 45-70 FPS, and I'm only runnning a 280x, which is/was a $170-$220 GPU.

>mfw perfectly content with 1080p

>>340690556
The launch of the RX 480 is going to get tons of press for weeks. It'll definitely sell.
>>340685072
That card DOES look amazing, but something I've found, is as games slowly plateau, and lower settings look more and more like higher settings, I find power isn't as important as continued support, which is, at the risk of being called a shill, something nVidia still has over AMD, by orders of magnitude.
>>340690707
Consoles are gonna release a new one every 3 years
So yes you'd need a new card. I guess the good thing is you'd get a lot more power out of a 300-400 dollar card than a 400 dollar console with paid online.
>>340690170
>unconfirmed 3dmark scores exist
yeah and they all show different things. like the one which showed it has worse than 390 performance. but ok, lets just settle on it has worse than 390 performance because 3dmark can't lie after all according to you :^)
>>340690774
>I regurgitate /g/ memes like they're factual

Just off yourself.
So is this a good upgrade from the 750Ti?
>>340685880
So your saying its what the 290x should have been 2 years ago
>>340690861
"need" is a strong word.
>>340690262
are you thick? nvidia have confirmed the board partner cards are starting from £320 and the 480x pricing has already been leaked on sales websites at £230+
>>340689837
and they're delusional
It's a 2304 shader 1266mhz design, it already gets 5.8 teraflops vs the 5.9 teraflops a 390X gets; and Polaris is meant to give massive IPCPC increases, on the order of 25%.
It's a shade under the Fury, and this is completely supported by the Fury getting 18287 in 3Dmark11 graphics section
>>340690861

Now point out the one that is supposedly worse than 390. Oh wait. you can't.
>>340691148
That's more or less because AMD rebrands their cards for years after years releasing the same cards while nivida actually creates new tech and advances GPU research
NVidia already took the rebrand and OC your shit till it literally explodes in people computers and learned their lesson.
AMD has yet to learn this lesson or more realistically don't care. Much like their continued failed driver support that is abysmal
>>340691475
HOW
O
W
>>340691030
It isn't necessarily 2,304 ALUs.
The patent which very likely is 4th gen GCN depicts variable sized CU with 2 or more high throughput scalar units. AMD's future arch isn't a fixed 4X16 SIMD lane design like SI, CI, and VI.
All that AMD confirmed is that the RX 480 has 36CU.
20 of those could be 4X16.
10 of them could be 4x4.
6 of them could be 2x2.
Each of them could have 2 scalar units.
That would work out to only 1,464 vector ALUs.
>>340691148
benchmarks show otherwise. the 970 is still competing with the 390, winning some and losing some. the 980 is still faster than the 390x and just under a fury, and the 980 ti is still faster than the fury x. all at the most popular resolution.
>>340690637
>I can play MEC
Why would you though?
>>340691475
graphics score is what matters on 3Dmark btw, the 18060 number is from that
>>340691475
http://wccftech.com/radeon-rx-480-3d-mark-benchmarks/
>You are looking at performance levels of the Radeon R9 390 at almost 40% discounted off the starting MSRP and nearly twice the power efficiency.
>>340691005
are you thick?
£320 doesn't include VAT.
The Rx 480 is $199 for the 4GB version, in pounds that's ~£139, with vat included it'll be around £170, so including msi/asus/sapphire stuff, it'll be £200, and maybe £230 at most.
>>340691590
pretty much this. i'd expect older amd cards to work worse than older nvidia cards after polaris/vega comes out because they just don't have the budget to release drivers on that scale. hell, they can't even release good drivers for the cards they currently have, see: doom, mirrors edge catalyst at release.

The 480 is an amazing value, and if you get two (thats just $400) you get performance surpassing the GTX 1080, a $700 card!

>>340695502
It's leaked 3d mark 11 scores are extremely promising, offering performance in the range of 980/Fury, last years $500 cards, it'll only cost $199 and is estimated to only use between 90-110 watts so it's extremely power efficient and that probably translates to cool and quiet as well

except this has been disproven in this very thread. you can get aftermarket 1080's with better cooling and clocks for cheaper than the reference. it's not american tier cheaper because of tax but it's still cheaper never the less.

who cares? the argument was that board partners were selling the aftermarket cards with the same $100 premium as the FE. i disproved that by showing they're in actual fact cheaper.

I've been using ATI/AMD cards for 10+, and this was my first time buying an Nvidia card. I'm tired of being called a poorfag and treated like a 2nd class citizen. The harassment is too much to bear.
Now I've joined the elite in search of "greener" pastures. Sorry, AMD but I can't anymore ;_;

580 was fermi refresh, not a new generation. Basically a hotfix for the disaster that was Fermi.
780 was just the bigger version of Mepler, 770 and below were rebrands.
What you listed there are 3 true generations over the space of 42 months. That's a 21 months gap between architectures.
>>340699751
It was a mobile card rebrand line much like the 300 series

>>340700094
>Mepler
Kepler
Fuck it's late
>>340700061
Yeah but its faster and its nvivdia so you don't have to deal with unoptimized drivers
And no Nvidia wont "downgrade" because pascal is basically Maxwell structure wise
>>340700094
Wow your really reaching hard just to be right aren't you?
>>340699693
What's the word for light pink throughout? That's my favorite but It's kind of hard to achieve.
>>340699858
The RX 480 is performing around an R9 390 based on 3DMark 11 and the half dozen bench runs on the RadeonDemo profile for AoTS.
The R9 390 outperforms a stock R9 290X for comparison.
Its new arch with a bunch of specialized stuff for VR, and its fairly low power, OC headroom is anyone's guess. It wouldn't be a mind blowing upgrade, but a solid step up for cooler card.
>>340700328
Pascal is somewhat similar to Maxwell, but they are internally very different. Pascal has a longer pipeline and is lower IPC which helps it achieve those clocks.
>>340701070
I doubt youll see the "downgrade" like between Kepler and Maxwell though is my point
>>340700432
but it's true. Just because they write a bigger number on the card doesn't make it a new generation of GPUs.
AMD had the same number of generations in the same timeframe. HD 6000, HD 7000 and R9 200 were true generations and R9 300 was just rebrands with Fury being the bigger version of GCN1.2/Tonga, just like 780 was the bigger version of Kepler/680.

>>340701654
Feel better now?
>>340699885
Nvidia has no comparison with this card right now from a price/perf perspective, just like AMD has no flagship tier card to compete with the 1080 at the moment
>>340701654
AMD had VLIW5 and VLIW4 in the HD 6000 serious.
There is no such thing as GCN 1.X.
AMD has released cards based on:
Southern Islands
Sea Islands
and Volcanic Islands architecture
All of them being distinctly different. They are now launching 4th gen GCN which is the most radical change ever to the family.
Thats 5 new architectures within a span of 6 years. All bringing fundamentally new IP to market despite older dies continuing to sell.
This might be a stupid question but why don't AMD and Nvidia release more cards at the same time? What's th epoint of spreading out the release? Nvidia and AMD aren't even aiming at the same market yet. Seriously, why couldn't AMD just release the 490 to compete with the 1070, or have the 1060 come out so we could compare it to the 480?
>>340702965
Why don't they release anything to compete with 1070/80? Because it doesn't exist
AMD struggles to keep up with the performance of Nvidia
They dropped the ball with Polaris and they know it so they are jumping into the midrange before Nvidia.
Its desperation at its finest
>>340690774
>nvidia literally gimping 1070 so it can never catch up to a 1080 reference no matter how much you overclock
>just like they have been ninja patching older cards to perform worse so people buy the new ones
Looks like you're gonna need a good support while nvidia reams your ass.
>>340685072
My R9 270X just crapped itself. I have no idea what this card is, but would it be my logical upgrade?
>>340702965
Multiple ICs going from concept to final product is a huge process. They generally only work on a few dies at a time because spreading manpower thin wouldn't get anything accomplished faster.
AMD brought out their entry level and mid range first because they already had a customer lined up. Apple. Apple is featuring Polaris 11 based GPUs in a new line of laptops, and Polaris 10 based GPUs in their new iMac.
Thats guaranteed revenue for millions of units right off the bat. Thats how you win contracts.
>>340703324
Wait so you expect them to sell a card with the same performance for half the price?
Fuck you might as well bitch they aren't giving you it for free
>>340703557
Yes
>>340703610
So what is it?
>>340703569
Also Polaris 10 will go into the PS4.5.
>>340703769
Stop it
PS4 neo is just a higher clock on the same card

>history proves AMD cards aging better than Nvidia cards.
>780ti gets beaten by R9 290 these days even though the 780ti launched for $700 and the R9 290 launched for $400
Exactly
Anyone who plans to keep these for 3-4 years knows amd is the way to go. Only an idiot looks at initial gameworks game benchmarks on day 1 and makes their choice.
>>340703893
>>340703769
Actually neither sony nor ms finalized their consoles. Anything can go.
>>340703769
I doubt they're going to use discrete components. It'll be a new APU.
>>340703893
There is no "card" in the PS4.
>>340685610
HURR IF YU DUNT BUY THU ENVIDYIA CARD YUR NUT A REAL GAYMER
>>340703607
>Wait so you expect them to sell a card with the same performance for half the price?That's what they did with the 970
>>340704147
Actually now that I think about it, are there even any APU's that can output the same peformance as a 380x/970? That's what everyone says the new consoles will be like, but I kind of find it hard to belive AMD has an APU that strong.
>>340703730
AMD Rx480, a mainstream card based off the new Polaris architecture, $199 for 980/Fury performance
>>340704330
No. It might use polaris tech but as an apu it would be downclocked and weaker.
But again since sony and ms haven't solidified their shit, they can simply scrap it and release late 2017 to try to match the scorpio. I wouldn't say anything is set in stone so pretending it uses so and so is pointless
>>340704318
Well you cant expect a "card deal of the decade" to come out every year do you?
The 970 was just that good when it came out
>>340704330
The APU inside the PS4 isn't available on the free market either.
If they could fit a 7850 on an APU back then they can fit a 480 on an APU now.
>Its a no drivers graphics card
>>340704147
>There is no "card" in the PS4
No shit, quit being an ass. Everybody knows its a shitty laptop APU
>>340704330
Current APUs are still cheap generic 28nm HPP produced primarily as mobile chips. Kaveri/Godavari and Carrizo/Bristol Ridge are all created to perform ideally at around 35w, with variable TDP from 15w to 42w~.
They don't have anything with a console level IGP because they'd have no way of justifying it. The CPU side is too weak for the desktop market, and a bigger IGP is questionable in mobile.
The upcoming Zen based Raven Ridge will probably be the first chip to change this. Thats relying on a lot of ifs though.
>>340704471
If there is a new PS4 coming, then the chip powering it is already designed and entering production.
The PS4 and Xbone chips were designed in 2011, and entered mass production in 2012 which all dies bear the production date of.
>>340704424
It's closer to 970/390 performance. Maybe the upgraded VRAM one will be closer to the Fury.
>>340703949
there is no evidence either way to prove any company ages better or worse than each other. percentage change is so small you can pull any conclusions from it.
>>340704905

>mfw I have had more driver issues with my 980 than I did with my 7970
>>340704652
>they can fit a 480 on an APU now.
Don't be an asshole
They are currently fitting about a 290 on their APUs at this point
I would consider the PS4 to be similar just downclocked
>>340704827
>If there is a new PS4 coming, then the chip powering it is already designed and entering production.
>The PS4 and Xbone chips were designed in 2011, and entered mass production in 2012 which all dies bear the production date of.
If it was being mass produced we'd hear about it by now. This isn't a brand new launch. They're not gonna make a shit load of neos like the old ps4
>>340704867
Not really no, it's 3d mark graphics score puts it well past the 390 and more between the 980/fury
All we really know is both th PS4k and Scorpio will be VR-capable. I've heard the PS4 NEO is close to the 380x, and the Scorpio is close to the 970, but anything can happen.
Regardless is seems likely that both consoles will be able to hold a stable 60fps at 1080p (assuming that the devs unlock their games' framerates), which is obviously a good thing.
>>340705141
>If it was being mass produced we'd hear about it by now.
No you wouldn't. AMD doesn't have to disclose who their semi-custom clients are, its entirely up to Sony/Microsoft to reveal their product.
All AMD has stated is that they have new semi-custom design wins, and they have had a couple in production since the beginning of the year.
Is directx 12 worth it?
>>340693959
RX 480
VR for the masses at only $250
Quick question, I'm kinda new to PC gaming and I don't really know how good my current setup is. I have the GTX 970 and an i5 6400 CPU with 8 GBs of RAM. What do you all think shitty or good enough?
The acronyms...
They scare me.
