>it's like 980 we swear
>inb4 b-but that's just one game
>inb4 b-but that 970 is OC
>inb4 b-but muh drivers will fix it
They've finally caught up with a 2 years old card, bravo.
>>343172497
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed.
>>343172651
Eh, can easily buy two cards for the price they sell it.
>crysis is still an unoptimized piece of shit
Why did they include a factory superclocked 970 that isn't sold anymore and not a stock 970?
Far as I know, 480 is like a $100ish cheaper 970.
JUST
>>343172989
980 proving to be best boy yet again
>>343172497
Egads, and here I thought that AMD would put a little effort into caring about what they do.
Not really sure that waiting for their new socket this winter is a good idea. I'm just gonna go fucking crazy and blow money on a nice 2011-v3 build.
>>343173073
the only thing AMD puts effort into is marketing
>>343172497
Isn't this card $150 or something? I never expecting it to compete with a 980 for that price point
>>343172940
>It's just that one game guys, I swear.
>>343173194
it's unoptimized on Nvidia too
I just think it's funny that it gets used as a benchmark game, might as well use ARMA 3 or H1Z1
>>343173151
It is like about $230 for the 8gb and about $200 for the 4gb. In Europe it is going to be about 300€... 300€ that buy you an OC970 as well on amazon.
Okay so its exactly what they promised it would be?
You'll be able to OC it to be as strong as the 980 probably anyways. Not to mention it's cheap as fuck
>>343173151
Yes, it is. It whips a stock 970, and even this super OC cream of the crop 970 in at least one category by half a gigabyte, and that's the cheapest version. I really don't understand why people feel the need to defend the shoddy 970.
>>343173151
Tell that to all the people who were screaming about how it's better than a 980 for only 200$ and are backpedaling now. Not to mention that prices in Europe are going to be much higher than 200 and at that point you'd better buy something else.
>>343173260
not the FE though. but i guess people who hurry to buy FE dont really care about OCing anyway.
>>343173260
>OC
Well, you might want to ask NASA about thermal shielding for your desktop then.
>>343173246
But that's what I care about, how well the games actually run.
I don't give a shit how good a card is in some benchmark.
It's not like the vast majority of games is any more optimized then crysis.
>>343172895
Oh dear.
>failure card.
>Never mind I will buy two to make it better
>>343172497
CRAAAAAWLING
>>343173385
Almost every game ever made is better optimized than crysis or arma
>>343173351
The 1070 has even higher temps with the shitty reference cooler.
>>343173257
>In Europe it is going to be about 300€.
this is the batshit insane part. wtf are they thinking? Since when does $199 FED confetti translate to $331?
They fucking did it
AMD saved us from Nvidia
>>343173534
nope. 85 is the threshold for the 1070/1080 Thats 91 right there.
>>343173508
I'll give you arma.
And while I have only played the first crysis the game looks legitimately better than most games and has some pretty impressive physics it's not really surprising that it needs a top graphic card to run well.
>>343173126
>the only thing AMD puts effort into is marketing
They don't even do that. They let WCCFtech generate hype through bullshit rumors, and leddit gobbles it up. Their annual expense for marketing in the last financial year was something like 1% of total expenses. They have nothing.
>>343173151
I wouldn't have a problem if it didn't match 980 performance. The 980 is a beastly card. What I have a problem with is that it doesn't even match up with the 970/390. Even some OC'd 380's pull better scores than this card, and they can be picked up for cheap.
>>343173260
>You'll be able to OC it to be as strong as the 980
No. Watch the video. It's a poor overclocker. And even the (unofficial) leaked benchmarks of the few OC'd 480's that are around, and it still fell short of the 970/390. It's basically the Fury-X all over again with the whole "It's an overclockers dream".
>>343173681
85 is near idle temps of the 1070 famalam
Either way we know that AMD's reference coolers are worse than NVidia's anyways
>>343173257
>In Europe
You should worry more about your continent being overrun with rapefugees and less about buying toys.
>>343173726
sorry by effort i meant money
GUYS, is the card good for 1080p@60fps gaming?
>>343173679
>I can't wait to play that 1 game
I was going to buy this card, and I'm not even a fan of the hitman series, and I'm sure as hell not playing ashes of the singularity.
>>343173590
240$
=217€
VAT between 19%-25% so:
217€ + ~45€
~265€
goy bonus rounding that up to around 270€ and this is what it should look like soon for the FE
>>343173590

>>343173874

for the point of getting a GPU in the first place
it is dog shit
How the fuck can they say they're aiming at the budget market when most people look towards the 960 and r8?
>>343173862
Barely. Better off saving your pennies for another 4 weeks and getting a GTX1070
>>343173709
nothing to do with optimization, pajeet
I'm actually thinking about getting this card for my current build since it still has the 550ti
>>343173907
But AMD is a chink company, no? Their CEO is a slit eyed menopausing onibaba.
>>343174045
>How the fuck can they say they're aiming at the budget market when most people look towards the 960 and r8?
if you are just building a PC to play games even so that is a small minority
people buy the 970 and amd equivalent to be able to play games at 1080p that is what normal folks look towards
the whole stereotype about never go too cheap on a PC is not a stereotype it is fact , never cheap out just buy smart
>>343173874

Still a great deal if you're a poorfag, but the aftermarket 480's will undoubtedly have better coolers and higher clock speeds.
Guess I'll hold onto my sapphire 290 for a while longer and wait for the non-reference 490's and if those turn out mediocre I'll get a 1070.

This. The 480 is definitely not the best $/perf for 1080 gaming, and it's definitely not future proof as some people are claiming.
>>343173874
>alien isolation looks that good and runs that well
>>343174457
Only on Ashes of the Singularity, but nobody plays that crap
>>343174457
Nah, 2 of these can't even beat a 1080
>>343172497
At least that card is future proof and will beat a GTX 1070 easily and maybe even GTX 1080 in DX12.
>>343174761
you are right. and its future proof at 200 $. thats just insane
if I upgrade my 7970 to a 480x would it be a significant upgrade? I also wanna use it for mining ether.
>>343173743
85 is under load with the fan under 50%. My 1080 hit it until I adjusted the settings of the fan.
Hits 72 under load with 66% fan.

Is /v/ really this retarded?
>>343175072
You know it is true.
I don't get it, isn't the entire point of the card that it's cheap as shit and thus blows all Nvidia cards of the same price out of the water?
>>343174958
I am so fed up waiting all the time... but buying seems always foolish.
>>343175148
yes there were a lot of people on /v/ saying it'd be better than a 980
>>343175148
nice backpedaling.
If you'd bothered to search the catalog you would have seen that's exactly what everyone was saying a week ago.
>>343173743
Why would you lie on the internet?

im still having a rather shitty 1050p monitor and dont plan on buying a new one until next year. also im having a 1080p television, considering sitting in a distance from it im totally okay with putting some settings from ultra down to high in order to hold 60 fps for the big graphic blunders.
i think the 480 looks fine for me, ill run it until next day when i will be able to afford a new monitor, then sell it and buy into enthusiast stuff. everything else in my system is decent enough so i just need to exchange GPUs.
>>343175538
IT'S FUCKING 3DMARK JESUS CHRIST. How stupid are these people.
>>343175616
It served well in their "Nvidia is finished" shitposting.
Now it kinda backfired.
AMD always said they wanted to make the MINIMUM VR specs more affordable with the RX 480.
Why are people so surprised that this card isn't as fast as a GTX 980?
Can POO get ANYTHING right!?
>>343173215
FUCKING KEK
>>343173874
>FallOut
dropped
>>343175717
Because Nvidia's new midrange card matched or beat their highest tier card from last gen.
People were expecting the same here, even if it was stupid to do so.
why would anyone go for this over the 390?
>>343175771
>>343175282
BTFO
>>343175717
Because only a ridiculously overclocked 970 is any good at VR.
Stock 480 is worse than stock 970. It's not even sufficient for VR.
>tfw still on a 770
>enough for everything I want to play so far

I have no real incentive to play AAA games and the japs don't make demanding video games.
>turd engine crysis 3

>>343175446
>after I set up a fan curve
A lot of cards are set to run as quiet as possible. My 980ti was idling at like 60 for no reason but after setting it up properly the load temp is 60-70
The RX 480 beats the 980 in any DX12 title.
But of course lets cherrypick DX11 benchmarks where that old API favors Nvidia

>>343172497
Making one bar dark red and one bright green isn't going to distract me from the fact that there's only a few FPS difference between the rx480 and an overclocked gtx 970. Also it's way cheaper, the reviewer points out it has great performance at that price level.
I'm buying a gtx 1070 anyway so it doesn't really affect me, but still it's not like this thing is a total trash fire.

>>343176691
do you have any idea how few PC gamers were actually stupid enough to upgrade to Win10? Do you think devs / publishers haven't noticed this?
I don't get it. If that card really goes for 200 burger tokens then there is great value to be had.
I've been looking to upgrade from my GTX770 for a while now.
>>343177398
God, why do people even bother with the benchmarking tool in Tomb Raider.
It's so useless. You could hit 90fps through the whole thing and still struggle for 60 in the Soviet Installation and Village.
>>343177490
I own an AMD card and Win10, your argument is invalid.
>>343177490
I don't think it matters when Microsoft is throwing money at them to use it.
It's the same shit Nvidia does with their software except now you're talking about a company that dwarfs Nvidia.
DX12 is happening.
AMD sure likes releasing new cards that are outperformed by their older ones.
>>343176635
That cow Mckinney is better.
We're making fun of people who genuinely thought the ward would be on par with the 980.
>yfw switching from AMD to Nvidia after this
>>343177490
Win10 adoption is pretty good. DX10 got adopted readily by publishers even while Vista and 7 had far less market penetration
Reminder that your CPU is starting to become a legit performance loss these days.
If you're still rocking a 2500k and slower ram, you could be losing nearly 30 max frames compared to a locked Skylake with 2400mhz.
Assuming you have a 1070+ performing GPU.
That's it, I'm fucking done. Time to switch to a better manufacturer.
>>343173874
Fuck off. All this proves is that modern games are unoptomized pieces of shit. There's no reason for a game to get less than 60fps at 1080p on the RX 480 in this day and age. So OP's video proves nothing except that game devs are inept.
Besides, even if you get 35 FPS in a game like AC Syndicate, the card is so reasonably priced you'd be crazy not to buy two and go Crossfire.
That brings you up to 70 fps, which is more than the refresh rate of most monitors anyway.
>>343176957

The fact it can't beat a 390 is pathetic. A good card should always beat one tier up of the precious generation.

>>343178007
I think the biggest joke is that he thinks a 480 will really do 35fps with Syndicate maxed out.
A 1070 is pulling about 45, and that's with the gimpworks advantage.
>>343177847
>thinks by doubling up gpus he will get double fps.
Holy shit you are fucking so retarded
>>343177918
Well, games are generally unoptimized (I mean, a developer on the Assassin's Creed series said they don't even bother because they just assume consumers will brute-force their shitty games to good frame rates with money), but that doesn't excuse AMD cards generally being a succ.
>>343178113
My statement mostly applied to i5s.
At this point, if you're on Sandy or Ivy, you need at least 4.4+ and 2133. Otherwise you're severely losing frames when using a high end card.
What is the minimum amount of ram I should have?
>>343179250
15 GiB
>>343177953
>>343178180
Xfire > literal human feces > SLI, you idiots. Maybe it won't literally double your fps but it'll come pretty close. Besides, framerate isn't everything. 30fps is perfectly acceptable for almost all games, you might even prefer 30 or less as it gives a more cinematic experience (movies are shot in 24 fps).
I'm still fine with my 390.
>>343172497
DELET
>>343177965
I own a 970 and will likely get a 1070 in the near future. That being said, Nvidia will lie to your face and believe you're retarded enough to defend them. Some people are.

Dunno what I'm talking about (the post).

That singlehandedly proves you're an absolute retard.

>>343180271
>people have been saying the 480 is a budget 390
Who the fuck said that? All of the "leaks" before the someone actually got the card showed 980 level of performance.
>>343180515
average fps of 20 or so games
>>343180090

and are you aware, that fps is non-linear unit, and it differs heavile based on resolution/CPU/other_settings, meaning that graph says nothing and it might be only good for comparison of different versions of the same card

The joke here is the perceived notion that women prefer larger dicks on men because when engaging in the act of procreation, women will prefer a dick size that "fills 'em up" as one may say.
Thus, he was comparing the amount of VRAM to dick size, in that it is certainly always better to have more VRAM aka a "bigger dick" in all situations.
If you need any further joke explanations, please, do not hesitate to ask.

What the fuck is this. Fuck off oldies.
And here I'm opting opting out for a rx470, should I wait for 1050/1050Ti?

heres aomething to drive you insane, europe prices are rejigged to enable usa prices to be lower than they would normally be, the logic is usa is the best peice of dirt logistically and import friendly ) one gov ) with citizens carrying the most pocket change, but layering even a 5% duty across all of europe, a secret oem duty, the funds are shifted back to usa sub to enable a subsidized price in america with hopes of more units shifted in usa.
basically part of your money goes towards usa units in the form of reduced usa price.
enjoy partially purchasing chads card and he will enjoy.
>>343180845
>it differs heavile based on resolution
It says 1080p
>CPU
All of the benchmarks are run on the same test bench, which usually has the best/most common best CPU available in order to evaluate the pure GPU performance
>other_settings
All of the benchmarks run at maxed settings, excluding resolution scale or options that ruin the performance of the cards from another manufacturer (like hairworks). If they run them without these settings they usually specify.

>>343181270
Yes, you don't want BSOD/RSODs, black screens and driver crashes.
Is it still worth it?
>>343181998
For your configuration if you don't have more money? Yes
I would still wait for non-ref cards though, they won't take long to pop up

wtf i hate amd now
Just ordered 2560x1080 monitor, still thinking about CPU/GPU upgrade (currently have a bottlenecking underperforming 3570 and a decent going 970 gtx). 1440p feels like a meme to me, barely an improvement, 4k is still too expensive and has no single GPU solutions. Would love to jump into 3440x1440 and 1080 in the future. If 970 will do fine in UW1080p I might just wait for 1060 gtx which should be equal to stock 980. Can anybody recommend me a decent CPU for less than 200 EUR and a decent MOBO?
>>343182226
>I would still wait for non-ref cards though, they won't take long to pop up
Of course
I was a bit disappointed when I saw it wouldn't run Attila or Witcher 3 with very high settings on 1080 without dropping into the 40s though
But then again not even the gtx 980 can keep them at 60 according to this

i have 970. i dont have to upgrade right?
>>343181139
TPU/Guru3D/Anand/Nexus seems to have RX 480 beats GTX970 the majority of the time, so I am keen to believe that the general consensus is that RX 480 > GTX 970.
>>343183465
Hmhmh it beats 970 in dx12 games and goes head to head in dx11, problem is 970 ocs way better than 480 so it leaps ahead in dx11, but just by a bit. Personally I'd wait for actual prices, I can buy an EVGA 970 for £220, if 480 turns out to be overpriced I'd still stick with 970 desu. Also rumors say 1060 gtx will come out in early July, so wait.
>>343172497
I waited for this? Thanks, I just ordered a 960 for 180€. Fuck the 480.
>>343184289
Moron, 960 is garbage. Wait for 1060.
>>343184345
IDIOTS DONT WORRY ANON WAIT FOR THE 490 IT WILL KILL THE 1080s
>>343183260

>>343172497
But it does beat 980 in dx12. It's not amd's fault you pretended dx11 was like that. Nvidia shill all you want, but it's a good card for what it is.
>>343183305
Probably not.
This card is catch up for poorfags like me who are 3 generations behind.
Is the 970 still much more expensive than a 48?, like is $70-100 more expensive and draws more power? also does the 480 actually has a real set of 4GB and not some 3.5 meme shit? benchmarks actually decent for its first financial cycle so why are people making a big drama about this?
>>343184542
Exactly, and the 1070 still runs at 60+ Fps with the 6100 on the witcher 3 so no point to upgrading at all.
You're proving my point more your twat.
>>343172497
This is what happens if you only look at raw numbers. People like that probably also fell for the 6core meme for """""""gaming""""""""".
>B-BUT ITS MORE, SO IT HAS TO BE BETTER!
I'm still bought into the hype because I'm only running games at medium 720/60 fps worse than a fucking xbox. So yes gimme this now
