>>341317945
Current card is an HD7770, might get this one.
AMD: Get excited for last year's performance, today!
>>341319130
I feel you anon. My current card is a HD7790 and It now struggles to run modern games.
The 470 rivals the 1050, right?
970 performance is pretty good.
>>341317945
but I already have a r9 290
>>341317945
>4gb vram
It's the current year.
>>341317945
>GTX 970 performance
Where your benchmarks to back that up?
It's the same as them saying "hur dur 2 of our 480 beat a 1080 in this highly AMD optimized game xD"
While Crossfire is fucking dead and straight up useless in most 2016 games.
Also
>buying a GPU with only 4GB in 2016
>>341317945
That's a pretty damn fine price for that performance.
>>341319190
you only need to aim for current gen console's performance since everything is a port
unless you aim above 100fps or 4k res you're wasting money
>>341317945
This really feels like good old days with 6600GT and 6800GT
GPUs should be cheap, fuck you mother fuckers.
>>341318896
the gtx 1070 is 400 bones
IF you can find one.
The gtx 970 is still more than 149.
>>341318896
Where the fuck can you get a 970 for $150?
>>341320542
>400
It's 450
>>341320542
>>341320694
Irrelevant. Price cuts always happen. AMD has to fight tooth and nail just to stay afloat.
>>341318896
>>341319190
It's all relative you shits, there will always be a performance overlap spanning many concurrent generations.
Only thing that changes is the performance ceiling, and price.
>>341320803
So it isn't current gen prices and you can't buy a 970 for $150?
Yeah. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
>>341317945
That looks like the kind of hardware bit that breaks constantly
>>341320803
for last 2 years, price cutting wasn't even considered.
as everyone cuts old production line and old cards don't get produced any longer, they will stay same price if not higher.
tfw I'll finally get rid of my 750 Ti.
Never built a PC before and recently began looking into it because I want to play BF1 with some friends (haven't played any BF since BF 2 on a shitty laptop which I still use)
This could be good for a budget-ish PC for 1080p 60fps r-right?
>>341317945
I have a 570 from years ago
What should I get to play doom and mgsv and the upcoming new games?
>>341321539
Fuck yes. If the performance truly is like what they told us.
I'm regretting buying a 970 last year now.
>>341321078
You might want to look into the RX 480, according to what they said, that one is build with all high-end components. And it's just 50 bucks more.
And by that I think they referred to voltage mosfets, and capacitors, and so one.
>>341321545
nigga i got a 580 and i'm running MGSV on high/ultra, this game is well optimized
>>341321545
Anyone?
>>341321545
wait for actual ingame tests and then decide between either a 1070 or 480
>>341319403
We can't say for sure until Nvidia launches their mid and low range products. Nvidia might not even be competing in the $100-$200 range
>>341318896
>last gen
you mean last year? the 970 can still play literally every video game at 1080p 60fps and will continue to be able to play such games in the future.
>>341321756
>I'm regretting buying a 970 last year now.
But you got to play games at high settings for an entire year, that's what the extra money was for
>>341320803
>think before you speak
Top kek nice one anon.
>>341322314
it can't play every game and stay above 60 fps though
>>341321539
The rx 480 will be better for that.
>>341317945
When did they present this?
Was it at the E3 PC gaming show?
>>341321120
I'm with ya
>>341322314
You're literally means nothing when you know the games won't be played at max.
>>341322435
>above
1440p is a tiny and niche market
144hz is a tiny and niche market
1080p 60fps has been the standard of PC gaming for ages and will continue to do so, which makes cards like the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 useless to most consumers because they're so obnoxiously overkill for 1080p 60fps gaming.
So I've got an ancient ATI 5850. Any recommendations for an affordable upgrade?
>>341317945
RX470 will not have GTX970 performance, RX480 will. RX470 is about a GTX960
>>341323000
actually, benchmarks have all put the 480 around the 980
>>341322768
how affordable is 'affordable'?
>>341322768
RX 480 looks like a worthy upgrade at $230/$200.
OP's prediction of RX 470 at $150 is reasonable sounding but completely pulled out of his ass due to no pricing announcements at all for 470/460.
>>341322768
>5850
Anyone who has that card knows what they're doing in terms of value for the money.
I doubt you actually need advice on this.
>>341323125
Benchmarks have been released? Actual game benchmarks or just 3dmark scores?
>>341320780
>450
It's $379
>>341323213
As long as it isn't some absurd $700 pricetag. I'm just trying to do an upgrade for once.
>>341323230
I'd definitely go for the 470 if it's only $150.
>>341323336
I've been out of the loop for quite some time.
>>341319190
I'm 4 years behind and with these cheap cards I can afford to catch up, its pretty great for me.
Will probably get the RX480 when I move after summer.
Better than what I got and required specs for games aren't going up that much anymore.
Anything better is just overkill unless you really must have 200fps for some reason or want to run at a higher res than 1080.
>>341323587
one of the rx 400 series cards i guess
>>341323347
Game "benchmark" depend heavily on the support the devs provide for the cards, synthetic shit is the best you can get for a fair comparison.
>>341324050
Game benchmarks are more realistic though, and theres a reason why mutliple games are tested instead of one. You get multiple scenarios which paint a more realistic picture.
>>341323662
To clarify I have a GTX 660 (Released 2012), @ 2GB vram. I can double my power and it will cost less than my 660 did when I got it two years ago.
>>341317945
WHERE IS MY FUCKING FLAGSHIP CARD??? FUCKING POORFAGS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>341322768
Same situation, I'm sitting at an ATI Radeon 4600 with 256 mb VRAM.
It seems inevitable that I'll have to replace the Processor and Motherboard also to get any effect out of a new GPU, but who knows, I've never built a computer before.
>>341323516

>literally melting your PC
y
>>341321756
lol I bought a 970 for $200 a few months ago cause I thought it was a great deal
>>341324469
your choices are a 980-esque $700 psuedo flagship today that will be a laughingstock next year, or waiting 8 more months for Vega/GP102, which will actually have some longevity and decent price/value.
>>341324385
Which only prove to my eyes which devs optimise their game.
Also each side will cherrypick one game with bad results to shitpost with, every single time.
While shit like the 3dmark score mean jack-shit, it still help positioning them in comparison to other cards.
>>341324664

it actually was at that point.
hopefully you got more value playing stuff since that it will have depreciated by the end of the month.

>>341317945
>Eggfrying temperatures with no room for overclocking, unlike 970
>>341324664
2bh my current nvidia card runs pretty hot and heats up my room in the summer and i hate it.
amd's new stuff runs on pretty fancy tech. the 480 has really low power usage so i assume the 490 will be relatively energy efficient and thus not that hot.
>>341322525
>>341325207
yeah like yesterday morning in the middle of the 1.5 hour PC Gamer presentation.
very underwhelming, with just the 470/460 unveiled and a retarded VR backpack concept thing.
I just want a RX 480 in my hands and firm details on Vega/1080Ti.
>>341325591
The RX 480 is said to use less than 100 watts.
The 470 should be even less.
>>341317945
>149$
Definetly not in my country, it's a little under 375$ in the land of poles.
>>341317945
>Just built in January with an R9 380
Well that sucks. At least the whole build was only 700 bucks and works pretty well for a sub-800 build.
>>341325778
>The RX 480 is said to use less than 100 watts.
only by idiots.
PCIe + 6-pin = 150W absolute max.
people are guessing anything from 110W to 130W, but anything much lower is way out of line with the perf/Watt gains (~2.5x) AMD has been vaguely hinting at.
>>341326051
No need to worry about cooling in Antarctica at least
>>341322525
>>341325207

RX 490 FUCKING WHEN
>>341323000
RX480 = GTX 980
>>341326470
next Winter/Spring, faggot.
same as GP102/1080Ti.
>>341326591
>next Winter/Spring
no fucking way they're gonna wait that long
what am I supposed to upgrade my 390 to?
So is AMD using HBM2 on all their cards above the rx 480? Because I doubt they've won *everything* this generation if that's true. HBM2 is definitely better, but it costs more. Nvidia is still using GDDR5 for the 1070 and below, so Nvidia *might* have a price advantage in the below 1070 but above rx 480 or 470 bracket. In terms of cost to produce, that's most likely the case. It's just up to Nvidia to not demand super high profit margins...
>>341318896
>bringing better performance to lower price points is a bad thing
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Holy shit, this isn't consoles, PCs have always had levels of performance at appropriate price points, it's one of the advantages of PC gaming you simple motherfucker.
>>341326721

I'm running modded Skyrim with 1gb vram. Finished both Metro games, now I'm playing Witcher3.
You are truly brainwashed.
>>341326721
There's not enough evidence that the Polaris 10 is really a 2560 shader chip being binned to the 2304 shader RX 480.
Unless there's going to be a big and small Vega and the small one uses 384b GDDR5(X), we're stuck waiting on the Gooks to get HBM2 manufacturing going.
>>341317945
Unless I'm seeing things wrong
>No additional power connector
Should appeal to 750tifags looking for an upgrade
>Single slot
That probably means they're killing DVI on their entire reference design. Doesn't affect me personally but it seems kind of dumb to do that on their budget cards.
>>341326470
Rumours say October albeit with the source being a chink's ass, so take that with an American size serving of salt.
I'm really looking forward to the 8GB 480. I plan on selling my 7950 and replacing it.
I have a 4k monitor but even if it performs as well as it does I can at least play at higher resolutions and upscale a bit more.
>>341318896
So 3 980s in sli is also "last gen performance"?
Sign me up for some last gen performance then
>>341325591
that's the opposite of Polaris, you retard. why do people like you, who clearly have no idea what they're talking about, even browse /g/?
>>341327406
>SLI
So barely faster than a single card most of the time.
>>341327026
This is one of the few main reasons why I cheer for the current gen consoles.
With those, you just know (most) developers will make fair games.
On the PC things just get political really fast, and you will see developers destroy performance on every platform like Assassin's Cree Unity, to punish every AMD machines, as well as to punish every Nvidia machines (but they get punished less, so they will look better in benchmarks).
It's just a shitfest I've gotten tired of.
I can't wait for the 480 benchmarks so that I can full compare them to the 1070's.
Oh, and fuck the founder's editions. What a ripoff. I can't believe we have to wait a month for Nvidia to finish draining whale's credit cards.
>>341327546
you're getting baited, son
>>341317945
The fuck would i buy that when I could buy a 1070?
>>341326916
GDDR5X is certainly a bit cheaper than HBM+interposer, but when you look at how thermally fucked 1080s are, HBM might be almost necessary for 400+ mm^2 14/16nm GPUs.
The other thing to note is that Fiji was 600 mm^2 and its interposer needed space for 4 HBM modules to reach 4GB / 500GB/s, whereas Vega could get the same bandwidth and 2x-4x the capacity with only 2 modules.
>>341319130
Why not drop $50 more and get a 480?
>>341317945
This should be expected.
The 970 was released 2 years ago.
A cheap card should be able to match it by now.
>>341328008
You shouldn't. You need to stay loyal to Nvidia, like you've been told to be.
>>341328495
I'm not talking about loyalty. I'm talking about performance wise. Money is not an issue at all.
>>341328875

Might actually get the RX480, the performance/price seems insane.
I have a Radeon HD 7950, are any of these a good upgrade?
>>341331554
480 is. equivalent to a 980 for $200
>>341317945
Can't wait.
Been hanging on with my HD 7950 for a few years now, but I can't play games like Witcher 3 without sperging over shit frames.
But, is it better to get RX480? I don't care for VR though.

We have to wait for benchmarks to be sure. If you have no interests in VR or going past 1080p then it seems like the 470/480 will be the way to go.

Is it going to explode when you turn the PC on?
Will the heat it generates keep me warm for winter?
>>341317945
Who the fuck cares about the 470? The 480 gives between 980/390x and Fury performance for $200.
Nvidia will be forced to bring down the 1070 to the $300 range before long.

I pity the retards that are paying $450 for the 1070 right now. The Nvidia tax meme has never been as true as it is now. I can picture their faces once Nvidia cuts its price by a hundred bucks or so in a couple months.
That's pretty fucking awesome.
But my hope is that Nvidia launches a 1060/1060 ti that can compete with these cards in terms of price/perf. I definitely don't want to be stuck on shitty fucking AMD bug-ridden drivers.
If I can't avoid that I'll go with the rx 480.

Retards. You really think AMD will keep these prices if Nvidia have shit the bed this hard with their price/performance ratio of their new cards?
I remember back in 2009, the 299 euro 5870 could rival the 599 euro gtx 480. I grabbed one immediately. A month later, the 5870 was at 499 euros.
If AMD releases with these prices, grab a card ASAP, they won't keep them for long.
I have no idea how GPUs work, but you can cross fire these right?
Have big is the comparison of one 480 versus two?
>>341317945
how much different are the 470 and the 480? how much worht it is it to spend the extra 50 bucks?
>>341338347
Supposedly stores already have large stock of 480. It's not a paper launch with low availability
>>341338347
>I remember back in 2009, the 299 euro 5870 could rival the 599 euro gtx 480. I grabbed one immediately. A month later, the 5870 was at 499 euros.
Didn't that happen because of the whole crypto currency bullshit? Or was it the HD7xxx series?
I remember one AMD gen was screwed by miners who'd buy their cards in bulk, inflating the prices.
>>341338445
Two 480 is faster than GTX1080 in 3DMark and Ashes of singularity. Thats all we know.
>>341338556
I say around 20% difference.
>>341319725
were you the same asshole claiming the 970 was still a good buy even with the 390 8GB superior in every way was out
>>341338775
I just remember wanting a 2nd 5870 and being surprised by the increased prices.
I assumed it was because Nvidia had shit the bed with Fermi.
>>341338556
470 is 970/390 level. 480 is between 980/390x and Fury. So IMO those extra $50 are worth it.
>>341338797

Sure.
Someone tell me what to think. 1070 or RX 470?

Really? well then. I should just wait for the 490 inevitable announcement then I guess, or maybe upgrade the CPU. the 6300 I have has been putting in tons of work but I think it's starting to show its age even though I'm overclocking the shit outta it.
>>341339939
16GB of ddr3 is like 50$ dude, 32GB is 100$.... It's not expensive right now for ram
>>341339939
8GB RAM is still enough for games.
>>341339950
damn I dont recall which one my motherboard has.
well I do plan on upgrading the whole thing later, so I could buy a 480 now, to increase performance in some games, and when I buy the other components just move the card there, and hopefullybuy a second card to crossfire it
>>341319190
Why pay $800 for an nvidia high end card when a $150 AMD card does 100% of it when I'm just gonna play 1080 @ 60fps anyways.
There's no games out there that actually need nvidia cards. I can max shit out on much cheaper and more efficient AMD hardware.
Call me when nvidia has reasonable prices
>>341340050
>A new mid-low end card that will retail for $150 will perform the same as a two years old card that still sells for $320 today
You Nvidiots really try to find excuses to talk shit about anything.
>>341317945
i hope amd does something
nvidia has dominated since the 4xx series
>>341340256
>>341340256
It's not for me.
Either that or something else is ailing in my system.
I get lock ups and shit playing arma with firefox open.
I've usually got like 6+ Tabs open.

>>341340162
maybe it's a 30% upgrade, but that's still not worth it.
you should be aiming for 70-100% performance upgrades. This probably means 490
>>341340551
>"since the 4xx series"
Fermi says hi.
>>341340549
Technology is suppose to be cheaper. When it's cheaper and can only very slightly beat a two year old card, it doesn't mean shit for anyone who already has a capable PC, as in 90% of the people on this website who play PC games.
Notify me if the 490x outclasses the 1080ti for half the price, now that would be something to report.
>>341339490
are you the kind of person who thinks a 10% (possibly less) performance boost is worth paying 3x as much for a GPU
if yes 1070
if no RX 470 (though it's silly to not get a RX 480 really)
>>341340568
modern browsers eat RAM. close your browser.
Also ARMA Doesn't like the FX6350. It's a very CPU hungry game AND badly optimized for multicore at the same time.
If you have a decent cooler on the FX you should overclock to 5GHz.
Itt: cheaper equals better memes
I had a HD7970 GHZ for a few years and driver and game support was rotten. Switch up to a 980 and have noticed nothing but better software support and drivers. Zero problems running 2016 titles at 1080/144hz. I'll send the extra hundred bucks for the card with greater support and adoptions.
>inb4 shill!!!!!!!!!
Nope just a dude with enough money to not need to waste dozens of hours min-max beta drivers and praying to the AMD God for good fortunes to play Far Cry 3 at a decent FPS.
>>341340638
gotcha, thanks my man. Any word on when they'll reveal the 490/x gpus? I haven't been to /g/ in a REALLY long time or paid too much attention since the R9 fury release

>>341341201
bruh the 6300/6350 are great CPUs for the price, when did this change?
>>341340932
>10%
Nigga, have you not been on /g/? The 480 is barely as powerful as the 970. It's sad.
>>341320694
i got mines for 50 bucks on craigslist
>>341341018
>>341341018
I'm paranoid as fuck about overclocking to be honest.
>>341341201
Yeah, it was cheaper then a fucking Intel 4 Core, and ran my shit just as well for the most part.
Despite the fact that I leave my PC running for fucking days at a time with no resets or powering down.
>>341340882
The 470 is for the people that were thinking on buying a 960, 370 or 380 before this announcement. AKA, the sub $200 price range budget.
By offering a card that performs as good as a $320 card from the competition, they are offering one hell of an unbeatable deal for this customer base, which you're clearly not part of.
>>341341043
Cool, I've had a 7850 for 4 years now with zero driver problems or other issues.
>>341317945
>tfw riding out my 770 for another generation
i just want a reason to upgrade already
>>341318896
>970 performance at a $150 price point for an actual 4GB of VRAM
>1070 is just titan x performance at a $450 price point but it gets beaten by the 980ti when both are overclocked
>all those AMD plebs
>consoles get new games revealed all week
>pc gets new hardware to play games that are not coming to PC
PC just has Multiplats. I don't get why people choose to game like this
I'm upgrading from a R7-250
How much is a FX6300 gonna bottleneck the RX480? Planning on upgrading CPU soon as well.
As long as I can play modern games, that aren't indies, I'm happy.
>>341341741
PC and PS4 are the way to go unless you are into Nintendo.
>>341341370
it is for multithreaded loads, but ARMA is the opposite.
>>341341436
Worst you could do is fry your already old hardware.
Don't have any experience with OCing AMD CPUs, but it shouldn't be very risky if you read some guides and use common sense.
>>341341870
>FX6300
It won't, just read up on OCing if you are afraid it will.
>>341341370
great CPUs on paper for the price
terrible CPUs in practice for the price
you pay extra for two cores nothing ever uses
who the fuck is ever gonna optimize for 6 cores lmao
>$149 for a 960-970 performance
What's the catch? Seems too cheap to be true
Has there been any word on the overclocking of 470/480?
I got a 7970 still to play vidya
When do I upgrade
Not a total fail if its 80% of the markets price range and games aren't maxing it out 4GB VRAM
>RX 480
>A legitimate option
no.
>>341341741
Too busy going through my hundreds of Steam games
>>341342256
I was wondering this as well. Unless AMD has turned into a charity.
>>341342203
>paying extra
>it's cheaper or the same price as an i3
What the fuck are you talkin about
>>341321545
RX480, $199 for GTX980 performance is pretty damn sweet
>>341325380
seconding this, how much of an upgrade is it
good fucking card though, been punching above it's weight for a long time
>>341342278
wait for 2nd gen polaris
1st gen is often buggy; or dies within 2 years (see R 2xx cards)
>>341341956
>>341341956
My shit got unstable just Locking it at 4.2 and then I sat it at 4 for awhile, then bumped it back up to 4.2 I think after awhile and it was stable.
Those fucking Hyper212 EVOs are godly traditional coolers.

This image is supposed to prove it?
>>341342408
it's the cheapest card on that list by a large margin though
$200 card against a bunch of $400+ cards
>>341317945
>>GTX 970 performance

>>341318896
>1080
>Worth it unless you wanna play 4K and pay gay amounts of money for a monitor.
NVIDIA is definitely enthusiast tier, but most gamers don't need 4K 60FPS maxed out shit, 1080 does it just fine because it's more than affordable and it still looks pretty damn nice. AMD is looking like the best one for that. Also, the 980ti rivals a 1080 in performance, you may as well stick with that honestly.
>>341342474
it's more expensive than the 4300 which is what you really pay for when you get a 6300 because only 4 cores ever get used (at most)
>>341342408
>It outperforms the 390X for 200 dollars
>Two of them rival the 390X and even the 1080 apparently
Nice me me
I'm thinking of making a babbys first rig with a A10 5870 APU will this new card be able to run with this APU? If it would, I don't think I'd have to worry about upgrading for a while right? How does the APU and GPU combo work?
>>341317945
I have a GTX 750ti. Would this be a significant boost in performance for me?
>>341342256
No Drivers
>>341343334
>Two of them rival the 390X and even the 1080 apparently
Did you meant to say 1070 and 1080?
>>341342408
>It's pretty much a 980 for fucking 200
It doesn't matter to me all that much but come the fuck on dude.
>>341343326
I want to say you have no idea what you are talking about but I don't care to look up any more information on the subject
>>341343351
>I'm thinking of making a babbys first rig with a A10 5870 APU
Don't. Get a cheap i5.
>>341343536
Yes, a considerable one.
>>341343573
Yeah, my mistake. I'm tired, stayed up all night playing meme games.
>>341343351
at least wait for Zen APUs anon if you're going to go down that route

At least on Linux the quality of the drivers has been improving by leaps and bounds, but the open source drivers are of course only available on Linux.

>that delicious bread
mmm.
>>341343778
True, there's basically no point buying AMD hardware now until socket AM4 parts start appearing.
>>341321089
If other cards are more powerful and cheaper, it's obvious that lesser cards drop in price.
About o join the Masterrace soon. But problem is, I have no idea what the fuck to buy.
I have no desk, no montiors, no mouse, no keyboard, completely from scratch.
I have a 2k budget, I'd like to be able to run everything at max settings at 60 fps (minimum), can you anons help a retard (with seemingly a lot of money)

First, try unlocking your 290 to a 290X, if it doesn't work, go for a 480, and if it does, sell it for a little bit more than what a plain 290 goes for and get a 480 anyway, it'll be a decent and cooler upgrade that also has the newest GCN features, which happen to really shine if you're into MadVR
If you think a 1440p monitor is happening down the line, make sure you grab the 8GB version, 1080/1200p and under won't exceed 4GB unless you're doing something retarded like using 4k Skyrim texture mods
>got a 970 at the beginning of the year

>1080p
Literally No reason to buy a 1070/1080, and the AMD 400 series is better and cheaper than older alternatives
>1440p
480 for a year or 2, 1070 slightly better, 1080 for an extra year

1080 is The only decent performer here, but will be destroyed by the 1080 Ti and Vega 10 cards releasing in 5-6 months

AMD clearly thinks there's something to all this Linux stuff. They just committed patches the other day that provide another pretty massive speed increase for OpenGL 4.3 and their Vulkan support is still getting better as well.
