How do you feel about AMD's upcoming RX480?

This GPU claims to make your PC VR ready at $199, is superior to the GTX980, and supposedly 2 cards yields greater results than a 1080.

What are your thoughts?

I've never used an AMD product before, but if the benchmarks prove to be decent, I'm willing to give it a try.

I know the prices for the founders editions of the new 1070/80 are extremely inflated, but $450+ on a GPU is ridiculous

I really don't think you would need anything more than 550W.

As with every AMD card for the last 5 years, it will promise things and make statements about performance. It will be decent for its price but substantially worse than equivalent Nvidia cards.

Also SLI is and always has been shit for gaming so "yield" means nothing.

Depends, if you're on a 24" monitor its probably not really worth trying to run a game in 4k, and 1080p will be better for the higher framerate. If you're on a large format 40" display running in 4k if you can is preferable.

I wish Shadowplay wasn't limited to the last 20 minutes of gameplay though. There are times I end up having an amazing game and I save the footage, but the game lasted 25 - 30 minutes and I can't save the whole thing.

AMD is not an option
>>
>>342054972
Probably not.

480 is looking really good, but the 390 will play anything made half way decent at the very least at 1080 with 60fps. Until games actually made for 4k really start coming out I wouldn't bother. The 390 will be a solid card for a good long time.

And if its just for VR I don't see that going well. Its neat, I've tried it out, but it is a gimmic. Fun some of the times but mostly in the way.

If you had an older card though I would say go for it.
>>
>>342055353
Why not just manually record and leave it on?
>>
>>342055620
Why? They've made the better mid range cards for years now. If all your stuff is bleeding edge then ya sure Nvidia normally wins out, but otherwise they have little to offer.

Exception to the 750 for a little while depending on situation, but that was awhile ago.

>>342051873
It's completely uninteresting to me unless it can reach GTX 1070+ results when OC'd and not just in Ashes or DX12.


I have a 4K monitor and 290X CF, I'm looking for a serious upgrade in terms of horsepower. Going AMD would be nice since the monitor supports FreeSync, but if the RX 480 isn't an absolute OC monster then it's simply too slow. CF isn't great though, I'd like to get rid of that.
>>
It's a good sign for people wanting to get into PC gaming in that it's basically a 1080p-dominating GPU for $200, which is alright. Obviously enthusiasts will want a 1070 or 1080 instead but AMD always does better with the poorfag market so they should just nail it there and not bother with enthusiast-level cards.

Oh, and for you people wanting to get this I would suggest a Sapphire card. 6+ years with an AMD Sapphire card and it still runs great. I wish I could've stayed with AMD for my new PC but sadly the 480 just isn't powerful enough for what I want.

No, if you have to drop everything to low I'd say it's not worth it. If you can get good FPS at tweaked high-ish settings then I'd say yes. In lots of games going from sane, tweaked settings in the high-max range will make very little visual difference but can improve performance drastically and the huge DPI you get at 4K is very visible.

Its a different thing. It has to do with the type of display and a way for it to give whiter whites and darker blacks, which often get washed out in flat displays.

And HDR in photography can work, its just gets abused like B&W and Sepia as a way to cover up bad focus or shit detail. Basically a shitty crutch rather than a sometimes okay style choice. Don't use it myself though I like crisp pictures too much. Wouldn't post in /p/ if my nuts were on fire and they had a monopoly on water though, too many photographers get pretentious when the camera does half the work compared to other art forms. Not saying that about you, I do some photography myself even.

Not really if you're running CF. FreeSync is also quite glitchy.

Then there's the whole DX11 CPU performance issue, at this point it's well known that AMD's DX11 driver is shit and will CPU bottleneck when there are lots of draw calls. It can't feed the GPU(s) fast enough.

It sometimes desyncs and tearing happens, I've seen it personally on my system and on a friend's and if you have a look on forums you'll see people with the same issue. It's not really easy to spot if your monitor doesn't display the refresh rate on its OSD, but it does happen.

It also doesn't always play nice with FPS limits, as in tearing happens. I've got a 33-60Hz FS range. I don't want to use VSync because it causes noticeable input lag in certain games, so I prefer to lock the FPS to 59, so FS remains enabled. Sometimes there's microstutter and sometimes there's tearing, but all the shit I've tried is too complicated to explain here, I'm too lazy to write a huge wall of text.

>>342058774
You can run them in the same PC and connect monitors to both and they'll work, but you can't use them in CF or anything like that since AMD doesn't support that.

Some DX12 games may theoretically be able to use both. Currently the only game that can do it is AotS.

I bought a 390 last september on my first PC build. I can't justify going through the process of selling my 390 and buying 480 when I know:
1. I'll loose money on the sell and purchase seeing as I bought the card when the CAD$ was shit and paid premium for MSI model.
2. The performance of the 480 isn't significantly higher than the 390.

The whole reason I chose the 390 over the 970 was that it already has next gen specs. ie. 8GB vram and async compute. At 1080p60fps it should hold for 2016,2017 and onto Navi/Volta.

The general rule of thumb is to buy a GPU that's 3x as strong as your current GPU if you wish to upgrade.
Since I'm currently rocking a 280x, the only GPU that performs 3x as well is the 1080.
May just wait for Vega in 2017 to upgrade if AMD can really wow me.
If not, I'll probably just get a 1070 and OC the fuck out of it.

I'm hopeful - hell, I'd take it even if it was just above the 1070 - I won't gain much owning an Nvidia card since Hairworks and PhysX is a meme and I don't even use Shadowplay even though I own a 770.

Still, I was disappointed by the Fury X and refuse to buy anything less powerful than a 1070.

Yeah, until it actually launches (this week I think?) and I see Anandtech's reviews I absolutely refuse to get hyped at all. AMD has a long history of either disappointing outright, or meeting the letter of the promise but failing in some key aspect. Like, having good performance, but some awful noise problem, or some other edge issue. They've also got a very bad history when it comes to drivers and software support.

If they can pull it off then awesome, I'm certainly not getting anything until I see what they've got to offer. In that way I have given them the benefit of the doubt, if I totally looked down on them I would have pulled the trigger on the a 1070 already.

But I sure as fuck ain't preordering or hyping them up ahead of time either.
>>
>>342063089
I mean $1200 for 1080 SLI, at the currently fictional MSRP of $600. I'm not going to buy 1 card for $1200, that's insane. I'm going to wait for solid availability on custom models anyway, I don't want NVIDIA's overpriced reference cards. I already have a nice 4K IPS monitor, which is why I want all the horsepower.

AMD was VR ready back during the R9 390 and the performance will just get better with time as people take advantage of over 4gb on DX11 and 12. The 470 and 480 are rebranded and slightly overclocked 390s without the extra ram.

'VR ready' is literally a meme. Being able to hold 90 fps @ 2160 x 1200 depends a whole lot more on the developer than the hardware. What used to hold 1080p60 years ago can't hold 1080p60 in modern games.
>>
>>342063720

It'll probably perform about what the early benchmarks are showing, but the twist will be that no one will sell it for 200 bucks. All the board partners are pissed off because 200 bucks leaves fuck all profit margins for them.

XFX already announced theirs will be 250. Wouldn't be surprised to see some that cost 300.
>>
>>342063870
Take a look at the benchmark a 5 fps spread over from the course of last generation and this generation. You're paying these companies for minor increments at this point that call them 20% improvements. Stop being retarded.
>>
>>342064119
It shouldn't be expected to be lower then their previous generations at the high end. If they are marketing the 480 as the take over point. The 390 was around $300 mark I would expect the 480 to be around the $350. The only way they would sell it for $200 would be in house "founders" which we all saw how those work out in the past and especially now with the 1080 from nvidia.
>>
>>342064104
Yeah, there's still developers coming out with UE3 based games that run amazing. Developer competency gets better the hardware will last longer. The problem with a lot of people having to jump upgrades is they don't realize a lot of these video game companies hire bloat that can't do their job to save their life leading to even the best shit running like crap. As a generation of developers gets betters the older cards start to shine, but more and more people are dumping their cards before the developer catches up now.

The v2 and v3 CX are fine on the paper, but I've heard about some unspecified models blowing up systems on Leddit, at least.

If you want an upgrade from the 660, I wouldn't settle for anything below 390/970-level - so waiting for Polaris 10 (470 or 480) wouldn't be a bad idea.

Nvidia also has a 1060 very likely coming within the next couple of months, if you're one of these brand faggots.
>>
>>342051873
Got hyped for the 1070, but then realized that I'm not ready to upgrade my 1080p monitor so everything Nvidia has right now is total overkill. I can't tell if they're fucking up by not having a cheap 1080p do-it-all card to compete with the RX480, or if they're smart to focus on the higher end stuff and concede 1080p60hz to AMD. 4k and 2k are still too expensive on top of a new graphics card, especially if you want to get dual, high quality monitors like I eventually want to get.

AMD claimed it's a 1080p gaming card which would match first benches were a stock 480 was a little behind stock 980. Then a fake Korean shoop came out where some shitposter inserted 480 in place of titan x and Indian brethren from wccftech went full retard mode with "gossips" of oced 480 being able to compete with 1080 gtx in dx12. Now I don't know if /g/ is filled with morons or shitposters but the latest stage of denial makes them think that ocing card by 500mhz will give them 120% performance boost. Imo 480 could be as good as 980 gtx with proper driver support. Dx12 is nowhere near being a standard and unless Windows 10 becomes good it will stay this way.

Because it has to render from 2 points of view, and do it at 90fps instead of 60.

It's roughly equivalent in GPU cost as running a game on a standard monitor in 4k at 45-50fps.

>>342077803

I remember 1080i being a big deal in 2006 so probably between eight to ten years. Now imagine a computer that costs $800 to build today and can run everything at Ultra 1080/60. You'd need the equivalent of 4 of whatever GPU that is to just get playable 4k, not Ultra, and not 60fps. It's going to take a while before that becomes the standard, because you have to remember resolutions are not all about gaming. There are still people who think 720p and 1080p are the same thing because an icon on the box their TV came in says "HD".

That's 457 million pixels/sec, but according to Valve, can be reduced to 378 million, which is about on par with playing on a 30 inch monitor (2560x1600) at 100fps.
