It's out!
Evolution of the 480 announcement and release from an AMDrones perspective:
>It's gonna be a cheaper and more efficient 970.
>a week passes
>Man with overclocking this thing is going to match a 980!
>another week passes
>DUDE THIS THING IS GOING TO NEARLY RIVAL A 1070!!!! AMD AMD AMD AMD!
>actual card is benched, it's shit
>>342790317
I hope that it's not shit though. AMD needs a coup. If it actually is equal to a 970 at a cheap price, then it's fine enough.
>>342790317
b-but I'll buy 4 480s and beat SLI 1080s
I just want a cheap card that's better than my current one.
Will it be quiet?
>>342790317
Wasn't it already confirmed that it's performance will match the 970 and that's it?
>>342790317
>tfw I have an asus gtx 1080 founders and tesla c2075
>tfw I haven't used an AMD card in 15 years
>>342790317
Source for real benchmarks? You don't have it because you're lying. Stupid faggot lol.
>AMD

Noise is ultimately dependent on the cooler on it. For AMD cards you might look into something like Sapphire or MSI for quiet coolers. ASUS AMD cards have shit noise and cooling so don't bother with those.
I thought pc was above console wars
>>342790317
There's some leaked benchmarks. Suppose to be like a 980.
>tfw live in Canada
>Canada Computer price gouges every new Graphics card they get
>380 moose dollars
There goes my plans for upgrading, thanks Tredeau

does it feel good in the pee pee?

>t. Completely uninformed Canadian citizen
>>342792876
only nvidia fanboys, the rest of the userbase doesn't give a shit
>>342792662
You can never again think of the word Ay-Em-Dee without hearing it in a thick Paki accent.
>>342790317
So wheres the source
if this thing performs similarly to a 980gtx for that price I'd be all over it, this is coming from someone with an aging 670gtx
>>342790317
970 but half the price and actual 4gb
>>342796542
I'm on a 970, it's good but the memory did limit it under Windows 7 for newer games and the Anisotropic Filtering isn't as good on the Nvidia cards as it is on the AMD cards. If it's anything similar, it'll be great and the lower power usage would also be welcome. This Gigabyte GTX 970 outputs a lot of heat into the room due to the 3 fans it has.
What did you expect from poointheloo technology.
I mean really.
>>342792404
>Reference cooler
No.
I don't give a shit you autistic faggot. I just want a card that's better than the one I currently have for cheap. If 480 can supply that, then it's okay.
I'm a student who is paying for my own books and tuition, I can't be dropping 700 fucking bucks on a GPU. This will be good enough.
>>342797153
Do you like AMD?
>>342792490
> 1080 founders
you're retarded for buying a card with such an extreme margin.
like giving your money away to jen-hsun the billionaire?
>>342797153
>paying for my own books
>paying
>for college books
>in 2016
Good luck in College buddy your gonna need it
>>342790317
i'll just wait for aftermarket. I hate all refrence cards desu
>>342790317
So where are these benchmarks proving it's shit?
The price/performance for the card is great.
Sounds more like you're a buttmad nvidia shill.
>>342790317
>Cheaper and more efficient then a 970
Is this an achievement? It's been well over a year since the 970 released.
>>342797639
>he doesn't know you can't even bring the clock to 1400
>>342790317
Still a great card for the money, but yeah AMD fans always have to ruin every release with hype. Personally I just bought a 1080 for my new build but if I was more price constrained I'd have gotten a 480.
