nope
>>343030520
No, im going to wait for the aftermarket cooler versions and see how good the card is.
If its bad right away im waiting for the GTX 1060.
If its good im getting it.
>>343030964
I read that and what exactly is bad about it? It's performing at the 970 level like we thought it would.
would upgrading from an r9 270x be worth it? I only owned this card for a year and a half

no
>>343032076
>you people
Morons on /v/ maybe, but based on the specs nobody with half a brain was expecting anything more than a 970/390 level of performance. It's difficult to gauge exactly how good the architectural improvements would be, so some people estimated it would be somewhere between a 970-980 at best. Go to any tech site and none of them said it'd have a full 980 level of performance.

This is Nvidia FUD, and the worst part is that idiots like you are eating it up
People are just pissed off because they won't be able to sell their 970s on Craigslist for $300 when there is a $200 card that not only outperforms it, but actually has 4GB of VRAM
Nvidia isn't on suicide watch because the 1070 is still a fucking excellent card at its pricepoint, but AMD is literally fucking wrecking them in the sub-$300 market (otherwise known as the largest GPU market by units sold). It's going to be hilarious watching Nvidia scramble to release a 1060 to try and compete.
>>343032752

>>343030520
I was going to, then during the summer sale I came across several "Does not run on AMD hardware" messages on many games, then I remembered how awful it was to be on the red team.
Sure, one could say those games were shit, but I would be limiting my options with AMD bullshit.
I will hold for the GTX 1060, but at that point I could fork over a GTX 1070.
DX 12 games run like shit on Nvidia, but given the power disparity, they also run like shit on AMD hardware.

Lol, yes it does
Can we all agree that AMDrones are the sonnyggers of PC gaming?
>>343033278
Depends on if you plan on playing graphics intensive AAA titles. If yes, it should last around 3 years. Maybe 4. Buying graphics cards is like buying a new console. If you just play RTS and MMORPG garbage, you probably don't need an upgrade at all.
>>343033784
So in a gaming environment the Gtx 1080 hits 90 degrees ay??
>>343033241
Fine, you're right. It's actually 85C. But hey, it's only an extra $100 for that 3C difference on their reference version!
>>343033590
Look at prototype 2 reviews for example, I am not autistic enough to go looking for all the 10 games I came with today while browsing Steam.
I think H-Hour is another one, also a lot of EA games run poorly on AMD.
>>343030520
Could just get a 390X for 300 from Sapphire or just wait for them to release a custom 480.
I'm just waiting for a 1070
>>343034034

Same.
>>343034034
Is there a reason why not go for the extra $99 USD and get the better card?
I wished this card would be good, Nvidia has a monopoly on GPU, but again AMD under performs.
Something was wrong when people were claiming it could actually match a 980ti if it was super overclocked.
That damn thing would sooner melt before getting close to a 980.
>>343031965
It might be worth it if you want 4 to 8 gigs

JUST
I'm getting one because Nvidia refuses to acknowledge the horrible gpu usage issue that's been going on for years with the 900x series
I bought a 970 6 months ago, have done everything I can to figure out what the issue is, have gone through rma and nothing has worked, their drivers must be fucked. Tech support gave up and said it must be the game's fault, even though everyone else's benchmarks are much much better.
>>343034442

You can actually get a 1070 cheaper by ordering from England right now.
The pound is in the toilet so the conversion is very friendly to australians.
>>343033278
Nowadays the minimum requirements in new games is a radeon 7000 series card(usually a 7870, which came out 4 years ago.
For a frame of reference
>>343034593
Looks like 2 gigs. I would say you would want at least 4 gigs. Based on the supposed speed of the rx 480 the 4 gig one should be enough considering its "slow" or you could shell out the extra money for 8 gigs.
It all depends on what you want, I find that 2 gigs is simply not enough for newer games such as dark souls 3 or overwatch at a decent framerate.
If your budget allows I would say go for it considering the 270x is a ~3 year old card at this point.
>>343034626
not really....
1070 is 450 pounds or so on amazon UK
450 pounds = 850 AUD

Stop this. They are only on average 5C hotter, which is cancelled out by the fact that they also reduce the cases ambient heat by 5C.
>>343035725
They paid CdProjekt to optimize the game for nvidia at the last few months before it came out and to drop all communications and optimization for amd. CDProjekt devs were working amd until the company decided to take nvidia shilling money at the last moment and that fucked over amd.
Hence you see nvidia's logo all over the game. The devs of Witcher 3 even had to bitch to nvidia over their "black box" software GameWorks saying they can't optimize it because their GameWorks shit was so bad. Eventually nvidia just gave them their source code for GameWorks and the devs can finally optimize it for nvidia cards. There was a whole controversy on that shit on many websites.
>>343035725
I had W3 drop below 60fps with hairworks turned off in 1080p on a stock 980ti.

When I see the benchmarks I will. It will be a much better replacement for my 750ti till I get a 1070 next year.

Thing is it wont work as either the motherboard or graphics card is shot. What should i buy or wait to buy. Anything under 600$ would be cool. Thank you.

For some reason, it's standard on /v/ to compare OCed AMD cards to non-OCed Nvidia cards. Not sure why, maybe Nvidia cards don't overclock as well as AMD cards or maybe AMD cards run cooler or something?

Don't see why people are raising the bar so high for the 480 when its meant to appeal to the low end consumer, compared to Nvidia's 1070/1080 which are more high tier.
If anything the performance per watt ratio is what matters and even then its obvious that these two companies are staying out of each others way for now.

You won't be able to run all games at max settings at least. Go find game benchmarks, check the position of 980, remove roughly 5% from it and that's where RX 480 should lie.

It matters man. I got a 2gb version of my card compared to the 1gb variant that was $40 cheaper and it still rocks to this day. I often hear of people with the lesser variant having FPS troubles or hitting road blocks, faster. Though games like Total Warhammer and Shadows of Hodor raped my FPS cause I didn't have enough RAM power for textures.
You might think it doesn't matter, but retards like you told me to build my PC in 2011 with 4gb cause "that's all I would ever need" then when next gen hit in 2015, I had to upgrade my RAM POWER cause I was noticing stutters and my web browser would crash from having hulu, netflix, pandora, youtube and more open while playing vidya.
Fuck you and FUCK you shit opinions.
>>343046478

270x doesn't have freesync. I got a monitor with freesync for when I upgraded.
It's a minor point, but still something to consider.
>>343046738
Sorry, let me correct myself.
There's almost always a discount around for cards that have been out for +1 year. Recently released cards generally don't get discounts, because they sell well even without them.
>>343046627
If modern games are any indication, medium/high is no different from Ultra/Max. You have to deal with ailsing more and maybe around 40 FPS in alot of games but its not so bad you need a GPU upgrade.
>>343046817
Even with the discount for that 970, its still not worth the purchase for the price. It has a higher wattage and less ram, and based on the image in >>343045318
its overclocked meaning its using more power.
You would have to be really dumb not to see the advantages of a cheaper, less powerhungry card that isn't overclocked.
>>343046806
got it
>>343046817
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-970/specifications
For a higher price the amount of power is higher, and the picture in question which this is all based on showed that the 970 was overclocked, which more than likely means its using even more power than the suggested on this page.

typical amdcuck
I'm building a new PC in two months.
Should I just get a 970 when the 1080 releases and the prices drop? I don't give a shit about CUTTING EDGE 4K GAMEPLAY, I just wanna max shit out at 1080p60fps.
>>343045318
Funny enough, this card is as powerful as a stock 980

thats like buying budget toilet paper when you have seriously bad piles.
I will stick with my 1080 thanks
>>343030964
wtf i hate amd now
>>343053550
970 can't even get 60fps@1080p tho

>>343053550
you might be able to max shit out at 90% of the games @60fps.
but its not futureproof so you prolly need to upgrade in a year,costing you another 300$.
So a 1080 might be the smarter investment
Have a 960 at the minute because I was too poor to afford a 970. Is it worth upgrading when the price drops?
>>343053938
You should only upgrade if your current card can't play the games you want at the performance level you want.
>>343053828
you need to see a doctor then Nfag. Enjoy your cancerous gameworks. Go be a tumor somewhere else.
>>343053828
>when you have seriously bad piles.
not surprising when you're used to be repeatedly fucked in the ass by nvidia
>>343045578
RX 480 costs 300€ you fucking faggot
>>343054313
>>343034032

>>343054085
>>343030520

>>343044725
>confirmed fake
Is rx470 worth it if I'm am aiming for a 1080 resolution?
>>343054386
no, it costs 200 euros or 200 dollars depending on the region
im sorry you retarded shills dont understand price fixing on websites since the car isnt even out yet
rx 480 is going to be the best selling card of 2016
>>343055389
Its a bucket of shit
>it's going to be better than 980 for 200$ guys Nvidia is finished
>benchmarks show up
>it's actually on par or slightly lower than a 970
>well duh that's what we always said, nobody really believed it's going to beat 980
>it's still good guys we promise
>meanwhile 970 prices drop
>no actual price listing for the 480 yet
>1060 coming soon and going to blow AMD again, as always
To think that I've even bothered to listen to delusional AMDrones
