Really disappointing. I've got an OC 3Gb R9 280 @1100/1300 which cost me $70 less than if I bought the cheaper 4Gb 480.
Guessing I'm saving my shekels and waiting for Vega, and if that's no good, then I'm switching back to Nvidia.

>>343172651
My R9 270 shit itself last night, only had it for a little under 2 years. Hopefully my R9 380 will last longer but it's getting to the point where there's really no cost benefit for me in going with AMD shit. It used to be they were the cheap alternative but their modern cards are fucking expensive, perform worse and die easily.
N-no..
>>343172651
What if you have a shitty GPU, is it a good buy?
>>343172962
I know that feeling. My first card was an ASUS GTX465 ref. Never had a single issue with it and ran 75% of games on ultra for the first 2 years. Had it for a total of 4 years until its 1GB vram and limited power meant I had to upgrade. Got an R9 280 and it's been great, until the warranty expired and now it's about to die.
>>343173086
>If you have a GTX 960 or below it's a slight upgrade.
>If you have a R9 370/270 or below it's a slight upgrade
>In DX12 it might actually do alright, but it's going to be at least another 12 months before DX12 becomes more mainstream
>>343172651
I'm still getting the 8gb version for emulation. I'll hop back onto Nvidia again later. My 560 ti is still going strong, but emulation needs more than 1gb vram.
>>343172651
meh i have a garbage gtx 960 and i wanted to upgrade but fuck this
>>343172651
>290x/390 performance for price of $200
>Stock coolers
>reference
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.
If you have the money for 1440 monitors, why in the world would you buy an AMD card?
>Below the 970
>Below the 390

JUST.
THIS AMD CARD WAS MEANT TO BE THE SAVIOR. WHAT HAPPENED AMD FANS?
WHAT THE FUCK
>>343172651
so they're hoping for a late release of 1060?
thats the only way it can sell

poorfags in general
>all those little amd shitters that were making nonstop shitposts
glad i bought a 980, going to get a 1080 soon, when the third parties start creating OC versions of them
just buy nvidia, amd always has issues
I don't care. It's still the perfect upgrade to my shitty 270X.
>>343173631
yes and at least $260 outside US i would go for a fucking 380 and wait for the 1060 or whatever vega shit
>>343174160
You could put a paper clip in there and it'd be an upgrade
>constant nvidiot fud before the cards even in consumer hands
so it must have a great price/performance ratio
>>343174146
If you can afford a 700+$ card why did you even considered a 200$ one?
>>343174035
So you are saying that most of the games are plagued with gameworks? What's the point of buying AMD then
>>343174146
Anon if you have the cash to always buy the newest high end card then this really doesn't concern you
>mfw 1060 will destroy 480
remember 80% of steam users are poorfags, this is what they need, they can't even run games on medium/60 fps. Anyone who disagrees is a nvidrone.
ROFLMAO
>>343174492
You are saying this like Nvidia doesn't have mid-range GPUs
>>343174270
I'm starting to think the same thing, but I kind of wanted to support a company that develops open source tech, and competitive markets are good for consumers. Competition drives innovation. Innovation creates exciting new products. In the end the consumer wins. If there's only Nvidia, then they can do whatever the fuck they want and nobody can do shit about it. They could release a new GPU line every 10 years if they wanted to, financially it would be the smart choice.
>>343174312
I can afford a 1070, but see above for my reasons
>>343174578

Feels nice being able to earn more than most of /v/
what did people expect for a budget card at 199? It does well for its price
Still waiting on the 490 as always
>>343174620
1060 is out in like a few weeks, we will see then
>>343174620
1070 is midrange Nvidia, but only costs $500 because that's how much people should be paying for premium designed in Israel brands
>>343174675
You mean the 590.
>>343172651
It's also $200 and only needs 150W.
>cost me $70 less than if I bought the cheaper 4Gb 480
So you bought your GPU on a sale? Don't see how this is relevant to a new gen at release.
If you want an upgrade that 290 this year you'll have to wait it out until the RX 490.
>>343174694
$300 lmao
>>343174709
>500$
You wish.
It costs ~675$ here inIsrael
>>343174872
We don't even have the specsthough judging by pricing strategies for this generation it's more than possible
>>343172651
Alright /v/, tell me without bullshit what should I buy, if I currently have 660gtx, oldish i5 and a 900p screen?
What's the best card for poorfag budget if said poorfag wants to play new games on decent settings?
>>343174974
RX 480
>>343174974
Non reference 480, maybe then it will overclock and not shit itself
Otherwise 970/390 of a flea market
>>343174270
So that companies stop doing it and because it's cheaper.
>>343174973
doesn't matter about the specs, we're talking about budge gpus for poorfags, they're not gonna through another $100, I said gimme an equivalent to $200 and your dumbass linked me a $300 gpu
>>343172651
>trusting poo in loo to make a decent gpu
>>343174854
>So you bought your GPU on a sale?
Nope. Bought it close to release date, and still worked out cheaper than the 480. Here the cheapest 480 is AUD#319, whereas I paid AUD$250 for the 280. AMD has always been cheaper in Australia when compared to nvidia.
>>343174974
rx 480, its a good poorfag card
>>343175119
>your dumbass linked me a $300 gpu
We don't even have the specs. They haven't announced 1060. If we don't have the specs and don't have the announcement we don't have the price, you dumb fucking retard. Check your shitty clickbait sources, fucking cretin.
>>343175165
That's odd

>>343175218
Give me a reason why would they price the 1060 under 300$.
>>343174252

Goddamn, you are a fucking dumb faggot, why am I even replying to your stupid ass posts
>>343175298
They wouldn't need to. Keep it at $300 and they would still beat AMD sales based on the sole fact the nvidia brand is a proven performer.
>>343175386

Planned obsolescence is a meme. Nvidia doesn't need to continue providing support for older cards because nobody uses them. The 970 is the most popular card on steam right now, and within 6 months, the 1070 or maybe even the 1060 will become the new most popular kid in school. Only retards use old tech, and that's all AMD are good at creating.

yes buy a new one every year goyim, we're planning on making a weekly release in the future. hope you'll subscribe
Anyway have fun playing shit games like doom of duty then complaining about how vidya is dead.
Is it possible for the GTX 1060 to be $250?
I-is it possible that the drivers for the 480 will make it on par with the 970 in dx11 games?
>>343176471
200$ did not always equal £200 anon. You don't have to rub it in.
>>343176572
Sorry, 150$?

>>343176471
no I was waiting for the 989ti to come out, it did then I just didnt bother getting it

So I'm better off getting a used 970?
>>343176504
>yes buy a new one every year goyim
Hey, at least nvidia will be around in 10 years time, unlike AMD, which is hemorrhaging money. AMD will be bankrupt, and nvidia will still be alive and kicking.
>>343176504
Good fucking lord. Stop your stupd goy shit.
It's not like eveyone bought a 980 last year and buys a 1080 this year. If you don't use 4K, even a 970 will hold up.
AMD, they lost a good chunk of their costumers years ago and NVIDIA picked them up. They just work perfectly, you know? AMDs dying, simple as that. No gamer buys an AMD CPU or an AMD card. It's like Nokia. Give it another year and they're gone.
>>343172651
Might aswell pay 50 more bucks for the 1070 and get a better performance then a 980.
>>343176169
How can you be so pathetic as to apologise for planned obsolescence?
>>343176758
Well the Nvidia gameworks thing and tessellation where it makes no sense is kind of bullshit though.
But it is not nearly as scummy as what Intel did since devs/publisher decide to use gameworks or not.

Paid benchmarks are a crime, and the only ones committing crime are AMD with this joke of a graphic card.
1070 and 480 are both mid range cards, yet one is vastly superior, and the other is only just good enough to be used as a paperweight.
POO IN THE GPU
Dude, it's 200$ while being only 5% slower than 970(which has memory issues).
Though if would probably be smarter to buy a used 290 instead.
AMD is doing a wonderful job of bringing the gaming hardware to poor fucks like me. I hope their next card of the same class will be even cheaper.

A heatgun can restore your dead card, check the internet.
My father runs the heatgun over the bare gpu chip for like 2 minutes, lets it cool and reassemble and it runs again like new.
Well, for another 4-6 months, then it breaks again so redo from start.
>>343177771
post your build on pcpartpicker, they'll tell you everything
>>343177651
And yet the 1070 is far superior in terms of $/perf, it's even a 6 pin card, so it's $/watt is better too, and not to mention perf/watt.

No. The 4GB model is $200, and won't go on sale until later in July. That model is the $250 8GB version, which has slightly better performance than the 4GB version, but still worse performance than the 970/390.

The main problem isn't its performence, its that people have been shilling this thing as way better than it is. Its not only just here, AMD was trying to claim to 2 480s in crossfire could beat a 1080 and that isn't even close to true.

It's absolutely irrelevant to anyone besides people who are generations behind in video cards, and even then it's better to buy a 1070 or a 1080 to extend the time until you need to upgrade again. A 960 is on par with 680, a card that cost 600$ at some point, but is outclassed heavily now.
It's the same with the 480.
Even if I'll consider upgrading from my 770 I would not get a 480 because then I'll have to upgrade again in 2 years instead of say 4-5.

>>343175657
exactly this, this card is perfect for those who haven't upgraded in years, and those benchmarks are pretty good for 200+ dollars, any sane person is not going to pump up the graphics to the max and expect perfect performance, just tweak a few settings and you're good to go.
>>343179158
I feel sorry for schmucks that sold their 980's for this card thinking it was a magical overclocker
Are graphics stagnating?
I see no point in wasting all this money on the newest and hottest gpu when even my 750ti can hold up at non-meme resolutions.
>>343179307
NDA drops in 8 more minutes. Reviews are primed and ready to go.
>>343179456
Hey 2 more 770 users! It's still a totally good card, although I get random stutters in overwatch, any suggestions? The game runs smoothly, then every now and then it'll have like a few milliseconds of lag
>>343179418
I was going to get the 480, but I think now I'll get an AIB 1070.
>>343179558
No it can't, unless you consider 60fps a meme
>>343179558
Yes and it's because of those meme resolutions.
Jumping to 4K is hugely taxing and now you have spergs becoming obsessed with 120+FPS.
Just means graphics will stay the same while people pay out the ass for resolution and framerate.

1070 seems to be the only right choice.
For anyone that's interested. The 970 that's being used in the tests has the same clock speed as the 480 (1266Mhz), but slower memclock speeds (1750Mhz vs 2000Mhz).
So the 970 is technically an inferior card in terms of hardware capabilities, but it clearly has superior performance.
>>343179856
380 benches better.
>>343179776
Not to mention, game textures will still be low resolution. This was very noticeable when playing at 1600p from 1080p.
>>343173525
>card is barely 1 year old
>garbage
what games do you even play thats so demanding
>2 480 can outperform a 1080
Well that went nowhere.
>>343179791
USD.
About 2600 NIS. Can go as high as 2900.
1080 is 3900-4200 which is1010$.
But those are new cards and most aren't even in stock yet so they are jewing it up.

And even with the vastly inferior 3.5Gb vram and 6/8 cache, it still outperforms the rx480.
AMD need to do better than this.
>>343180058
gimpworks games, nvidia based titles
better optimized drivers.
rx 480 has no drivers at the moment and its a fucking reference card and ofcourse its fucking AMD.
So if I was thinking about getting the R9 380 should I just get the RX 480 instead?
I fucking told you fags. If this card was good they would have had the NDA drop before release so hype could build up, but they didn't because they have a turd.
I am hoping that the 970 goes down in price a little bit more so I can buy one that's not used for around 250€.
It's not much of a difference between that and a 280x but still I had my issues with AMD cards that, after finding out, always seem to be solved by using an nvidia GPU instead. It's been pissing me off.
It's a mid-tier card with no drivers, so this is a bit of an overreaction.
For $200 to get performance on par with the 390 that's pretty nice, and I'm usually an Nvidiafag.
>>343180354
Yes.
>sub $200 stock reference rx480 does 3-5fps worse than custom 3rd party OC cards that cost $100-$200 more on nvidia gimpwerkz titles
oy vey amd is shit! buy more nvidia goy!
>>343180518
>no drivers
They seriously sent this shit out to be reviewed without drivers for it? That is beyond retarded. Does anyone at AMD have a brain?

>"AMD reps went to his office and told him the card is aimed at 960 price line but with 970 performance"
Confirmed
>480 performs lower than the 970 and 390
Not worth it.
JUST
>wait for benchmarks
>wait for tests
>wait for new drivers
>wait for amd to release something that isn't total shit
when will amdummies stop this shit?
Is Ashes of Singulaity a good game or its just made for gpu wanking?
>>343175706
He was using a 430watt to overclock. Anyone with a brain would know it's not gonna work. These nvidia shills are just trying to spin it into amd's fault. Reviewer is also a nvidia shill since nvidia only features like gameworks and hbao+ were activated to gimp amd cards.
>>343172651
im glad i got disappointed on life more times than a man should, still feel it a little, but i already got resistance to this feel.
>>343180690
>AMD
>Drivers
That's one of the constants of this universe that will never be broken.
>>343180690
If they did that I've lost all respect for AMD. They've blacklisted reviewers before because they were supposedly biased against AMD and then they go out and send cards to be reviewed that are handicapped because of lack of drivers, which distorts the reality worse than any bias could be.
>>343176983
The last thing intel or nvidia wants is for amd to go bankrupt and the government to come in and break up their companies to force competition. The status quo is better because it means intel and nvidia can do whatever they want because amd provides "competition."
The problem is neither of them can help the fact that amd is basically suicidal at this point.
Very disappointed, but considering it's still cheaper than the 970... it's not so wrong of a deal. Just nothing really worth selling your shit and upgrading to. If Nvidia were to step in and lower the prices a little bit more, AMD would just fuck itself.
With the announcement of the 480, I had this little hope for AMD after losing it frequently, after having bought AMD after AMD, next time I will finally switch to Nvidia. It's stupid.
Its either a 480 for 200 dollars or a 1070 for $600
>>343179417
Probably
great gpu for price. but it indicated that they can't compete with nvidia on flagship.
>mfw I cancelled my evga 1070 pre order to wait for this
I guess at least I didn't buy it, now I just wait even longer
2X SLOWER THAN THE 970. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
>>343181075
I paid 420 for my 1070.
Why are you so poor?
>>343180806
just gpu wanking, but even then it's literally garbage
>>343181124
>all these shit games with huge monitors and all the graphics you would never turn up
When's Arma.
Will amd ever stop being >AMD?
Every announcement is like the start of the Sonic Cycle for them.
>>343181124
POO
Why everywhere in youtube is everyone saying this is the best value card? AMD don't have money to pay everyone.
>>343180304
Uwot m8?
The RX 480 comes with the driver. It's a fucking CD in every box. All the benchmarks were done with the correct driver.
Once again AMD fanboys saying "wait a bit more", the same as every year with a failed release.
>>343181124
What's up with the 1070 performance? I thought it went much higher than that.
Poorfags rejoice.
We did it!
I mean, it's ok if it's dirt cheap.
>>343179864
>developers
>optimize
never gonna happen, that's why we all should stick with nVidia graphics cards and their top notch drivers
>>343181106
>amd announced a half year ago that they DON'T WANT to compete with Nvidia in flagship tier
Nvidicucks, everyone.
GG Nvidia
>>343181224
for the price it is. it's marketed as a 1080p card @ 60fps. it does that well. obviously if you want higher res, you'll go with a more expensive card.
>>343181286
>At least we won something, r-right guys?
>>343181224
Because these are people with a clue and not retarded /v/ermin?
Is the 1070 overkill for 1080p? I just want to max out pretty much everything. Afraid if I get a 1440p monitor I won't be able to use all the meme settings you see in new games.
>>343172651
Win the fuck is the 1070 going to go down from that Founder's edition shit?
>>343181451
1070 is ideal for 1440p gaming.
>>343181451
yes it's overkill, the devs will never include more taxing effects and bigger textures for 1080p gaming anymore and the 1070 will be overkill for that resolution.
>>343181503
Literally all I've been wanting this entire fucking time. I don't want to spend close to $100 more just because I'm an impatient cunt, but I'm one step closer to the edge AND IMMABOUTTA
>>343181240
AMD always gets better benchmarks over time though, it has been like this for almost every R9 2xx and R9 3xx card.
I have a gtx 680 that is on its way out (occasional artefacting, lots of microstutter) would the rx480 be a worthwhile investment once board partners come out with coolers, despite the card not living up to the hype?
>>343181503
>down
Why would it go down? Custom coolers cost more so they will ask for more money for non-founders cards.
If the rumors of the 1060 being at 980 performance and $250 are true...
>>343181647
Founder's edition always costs more you nigger.
>>343181598
It's not going to happen.
Aftermarket realized that they could get away with 420-430 ALL DAY.
>>343181641
Fuck no.
Buy a discounted 970/980.
>>343177862
Oh well I've already got the new card. It's got twice the RAM anyway my current one wasn't keeping up with some of the more demanding games. I'll keep your suggestion in mind for when the new one kicks the bucket. Does the same technique work for CPUs? My Phenom II x6 has been an absolute beast, it's been going since like 2011 with no issues but since it is old I will probably have issues soon and want to know if I can put off replacing it when it happens
From what I'm seeing, this card runs newer games better than the 980. But games from 2013 and back runs worse than 970.
>>343181451
Currently 1070 can keep 1440 above 60.
I HAVE BEEN KIDDED FOR THE LAST TIME!
I WILL NOT BUY THIS SHIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>343181856
On med/low settings.
>>343181885
I will, because >>343181286
>>343181915
You mean using AA that isn't overkill.
>>343181915
The vast majority of games aren't as demanding as TW3.

Do I need a 1080 to play Worms Armageddon?
>>343181824
OP benchmark is on a heavily overclocked GTX 970, a binned one at that that cost really high new.
Ref vs Ref RX 480 beats it almost all the time except.
>>343172651
>worse than 970
>barely keeps up with 390
Are you retard, 390 is better than 970, so this is obvious.

>99th percentile
Still good to know though. Kind of sad it drops lower than some of AMD's last lineup.
I really wanted to try out AMD with my next upgrade cycle, I guess I'll have to wait for the flagship cards and how Nvidia will deal with DX12 in the future.
>>343182021
Yes
>buy nVidia once
>keep on using it until you feel like you need to upgrade
>buy AMD
>resort to using your warranty every 2 months until you get sick of this shit and buy nVidia once the warranty is no longer valid
Switching to nVidia back in the beginning of 2000's was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

i play everything maxed on TW3 2560X1080p on my 290x at 50 - 60fps, just limit the tesselation to 8x and stop being a bunch of faggots, you don't even see past 8x tesselation anyways. FUCK.
Welp this is awful, 1060 is going to shit on this.
>>343182021
Only if you're planning to play it on 1080p screen
>>343182135
LOL
>>343182084
>a 1070 is literally twice the performance
And people expected this fucking thing to beat a 1080 in Xfire?
>>343182136
NO ONE needs 64x Tesselation. nvidia are such assholes.
>>343181810
Currently 970 and 980 are about 450 and 600 AUD respectively (both took a hit after 1000 series cards came out with no stock) while the RX 480 4gb is ~$320
Second hand isn't much better.
>>343182136
/v/ is retarded, more news at 11 etc.
>>343181824
The 970 in OP's benchmark has the same clock specs as the 480.
see >>343180058
>>343182136
Just like you don't see past 24 fps, right?
>mfw I buy monitors even cheaper than my GPU so I can't tell the difference between high and ultra settings and it's like I'm not missing out by being a poorfag
