>>344764234
So what happened? Did they just try too much in too little time on the card? And fall out of Spec?
>>344764212

>>344764234
It's been saved in a recent driver, regardless of 8-pin.

Nevermind that the rx 480 sapphire is void of the nonexistent mobo issue that plagues cards like the gtx 960 and the 750 ti due to the 8 pin and it even has better cooling

I'm not even a shill but I have been buying mid end ~200$ AMD gpus for years. great value for money, play most games in high settings.

Fuck improving graphics. Devs need to learn engines.
What we really need is fucking AI. Get on it, you lazy pieces of shit.
>>344765020
They're not going to clock much differently from any other GCN card, they all have the same pipeline length. Most cherry dies hit around 1400mhz, 1500mhz stable would be incredibly rare.
Its entirely dependent upon how high of a binned chip you get.
From what it looks like Apple purchased all of the 90%+ dies.
>>344766059
The aberrant power draw issues had nothing to do with the power connector on the PCB. The die itself controls how it draws power, it was entirely a software bug. AMD put more new PowerTune IP in 4th gen GCN than ever before, and their new OC software needs some kinks worked out. The driver fix currently out now will eventually be rolled in when they stop ASIC quality rating from influencing Wattman's behavior.
It never affected all cards to begin with.

>>344766724
Backplates without vents seem odd to me, on one point the heat could just go upwards and near your cpu, on the other it seems like its going to be strangled.
Sapphire are good stuff though and in two months I may get one if the 1060 is no cop and the 1070's aren't in stock.
Amd cards get closer in value to Nvidia counterparts over time even if they don't have the immediate wow factor.

>>344767646
I admit I slogged through Witcher 3 at 30fps on pc because I couldn't be arsed to pay for a better card than a 750ti due to waiting for pascal and vega.
I am sure if I can't get a gtx 1070 for about $380 I will end up cheaping out and getting an rx 480.
I have a 960, I'm in no hurry to upgrade.
Will wait for benchmarks in September.
>>344763778
Damn i would get that if i didn't already own a 290 that is OCed to hell. They need to hurry the fuck up with the 490.

This is all of you every single day.
>>344768376
>2 gamewerks console port titles
Oh yeah, we forgot about all those games that purposefully gimp AMD cards.
Even less reasons to get one.
>>344764456
>>344768376
Even better, there is no consistency in the testing parameters. Certain titles have special AA enabled while others don't. The benches are tailored to the 1060's strong suit, and not representative of real world performance delta between both cards.
The 1060 might be 10fps faster than the RX 480 when using 4X SSAA that favors Nvidia's arch, but that disparity evaporates under scrutiny.
>bought 480
>runs GTA V 1440p, no AA necessary, same for Dark Souls 3
AMD won.
>>344768605
The main reason you shouldn't get a console is nothing to do with PCMR, but the fact there's been absolutely fuck all offering on them that looks value for money, let alone worth getting anything for.
Likewise Forza is nothing special compared to Dirt/Trackmania etc, and TR is an absolute joke compared to the Legends games.
i wonder why all the 1060 shilling threads suddenly stopped?
there used to be at least two active 1060 shilling threads active at all time a few days ago.
i wonder why it has stopped?
>>344768723
Tbhfam only benchmarks worth shit is highest settings for 60FPS per resolution, which means in this case would be Ultra sans AA, PhysX (for a proper comparison), tessellation turned down as necessary etc.
Getting no stutters and 60FPS is way more important than switching EVERY fucking thing on even if it actively makes the game experience worse e.g. fucking Motion Blur.
>>344768969

>>344769263
>>344769090
I don't care if AMD won with this gen by this point.
All I know is that AMD has done something magical with GCN and cards as old as 2011 are suddenly getting a new lease on life all around.
>>344767774
They won't, and i'm glad of it.
Last thing we need is AMD being relevant.
>>344769401
>are suddenly getting a new lease on life all around.
Games that use Vulkan, AKA Doom and that's it.
No one is going to move on from DirectX 12 since nobody cares about AMD or it's consumers.
>>344769028
>>344769115
>>344769250
from 0 to 3.5 how mad are you right now?
>>344769401
No magic to it, the raw performance was always there. SIMD utilization for the arch can be incredibly high if the code is there to make use of the wave front.
>>344769579
Not much, I mean, nobody provided proof that the RX 480 is better than the 1060.
Where are the videogame benchmarks?
>>344769525
Too bad Todd won't learn and start putting Vulkan to Skyrim remastered.

DX12 and Vulkan are basically the same thing. Both based on Mantle.
>>344769657
>I-IT STILL DOESNT COUNT!

Where are they?
Is AMD ashamed of their videogame performance?

Can someone post them?
>>344769684
Thats an absurdly stupid rumor started by the street shitting clickbait artists from WCCFtech. Theres no validity to it.
The Polaris 10 die was designed to be as cheap to produce as possible, it sacrificed raw performance to accomplish that, and made up for it by increasing clocks and power draw. A 300w~ dual die card with Polaris 10 wouldn't sell.
>>344769754
that's what the nvidiots don't get, when AMD came out with mantle it literally changed everything.
everything in the future will run in accordance to AMD's will.
nvidia is over.
>>344769916
Not really.
AMD doesn't have any influence in videogames since nobody buys their GPUs or CPUs.
No one is going to change the industry to appeal to a minority.
>>344769862
calm down there buddy, you can't win every battle
>>344769982
But you haven't won, there's no proof of anything.
Where are videogame benchmarks showing the RX 480 performance and GTX 1060 performance?
Do they even exist?
>>344769965
>DX12 and Vulkan are based on AMD's mantle.
>nfaggots think the industry will stay on ancient DX11 and openGL forever just to please them and their weak overpriced cards
>>344769754
Vulkan is based on Mantle, but DX12 is merely inspired by Mantle.
The difference is also that DX12 is locked to one OS, so I hope it won't catch on.
>>344769916
>everything in the future will run in accordance to AMD's will.
This is getting at ''THIS IS THE YEAR OF LINUX'' levels of delusion.
The industry has always been out to attack AMD in every single way.
>>344770106
>WOW, WHY WOULD THIS BUSINESS TO WHAT GIVES THEM MORE MONEY
Yes anon, the entire industry is going to drop their money-minded businesses to give you top notch in your GPUs that nobody buys.
>>344770027
we have a benchmark that works perfectly well, you simply choose to ignore it because it doesn't suit your opinion.
face the facts bro, it's over.
nvidia is over.
>>344770114
Vulkan and the D3D12 renders both use code directly copy/pasted from Mantle.Their programming manuals share word for word references.
>>344770114
>DirectX
>won't catch on
You are talking as if they didn't have the entire industry in their hands.
Not AMD nor Vulkan have any say in this entire industry that has been out to destroy them for years now.
Mantle was irrelevant, so will Vulkan.
>>344770223
But where are the videogames?
I wouldn't want to buy an AMD card and see that it has horrible performance in games like The Witcher 3.
Where's the videogame benchmarks?
I play videogames, not tools.
Where's the videogames?
Is the card out?
Yes?
Then where are they?
Why is everyone so afraid of posting 480 benchmarks?
Is AMD censoring people?
I just want an AIB card with a DVI port thats around 220 bucks.
Thats it.

>And what of these claims that Microsoft would have copied Mantle? There was even some claim that the documentation was mostly the same, with some screenshots of alleged documentation of both, and alleged similarities. Now that the final documentation is out, it is clear that the two are not all that similar at the API level. DX12 is still using a lightweight COM approach, where Mantle is a flat procedural approach. But most importantly, DX12 has some fundamental differences with Mantle. Such as the distinction between bundles and command lists. Mantle only has ‘command buffers’. Again, it looks like Mantle is just a simplified version, rather than Microsoft cloning Mantle.

Mantle's whole point was to force Microsoft to implement technology that would benefit AMD's GPUs. It was never supposed to compete in long term, Vulkan will do that.
>>344772005
You think a company that only holds 20% of the market vs the 80% has any chance at being relevant?
I'm just waiting for these non-reference 480's to come out because I'm poor and $250 is the most I'm willing to spend. I'm debating about the STRIX though, but I don't know much when it comes to brands of GPU.

even if vulkan dies in two months, DX12 will be standard and will replace DX11, it's all mantle in the end, AMD always wins.
>>344772573
AMD has never won, and they'll never will.
NVIDIA and Intel will pay the right people to prevent all that from happening.
>>344772394
DX12 is a new API so they'd have to work with a new API regardless.
Also, there are more people with windows 7, 8, and xp combined than there are with windows 10. DX 12 only works on windows 10. If the dev works with DX 12, they're losing out on half of all windows installations.

>>344765283
The keyword being previous here. They blew the LAST high end gen the fuck out... pretty sure that always happens with the release of new stronger cards. It's a shitfest because they advertised it like it would have a place in this gen's high end when it doesn't. It literally does not compete with the 1070 and 1080, not because it's amd vs nvidia or some trivial bullshit like that... because it's as strong as those two cards. The 480 is a budget card that does GREAT budget work. That's it.

>>344773076
Watercooling is only necessary for AMD cards since, for some reason, they get over 65º degrees, which is outrageous.
Then again, AMD doesn't have any money, so it's understandable.
>>344772869
>Money from ms for using dx12
M$ didn't have to pay anyone to use DX12. The documentation and support on VK is fucking trash and their git is damn near unreadable like they got some Chinese sweatshop to do it. Also if you have a problem and you aren't an AAA dev, hope you like waiting a month for a Kronos group rep getting back to you. Support fucking sucks. Sony's told everyone they don't plan VK support now or in the future and they will continue developing GNMX as well.
Oh and VK works on only 5% of mobiles in the market so brav-fuckin-o.
>>344773154
i can max it easy on a R9 290 so i don't see a reason for any of the new cards not to do it either.

No, they'll pay game developers, just like they've been doing for years now.

Of course not.
>>344773341

If not, I'll get a 480 when the ones with proper coolers come out.

>>344773360
so they'll pay game developers not to use DX12 or Vulkan?
damn nvidia is so fucking EPIC
Let's stop these autistic company wars for a moment, neckbeards.
Can someone explain to me why reference GPUs always have absolutely horrible cooling?
Seriously, why?
>>344773075
>Now it's time to resort to shitposting because I got BTFO
>>344773449
>heard it had issues on AMD cards.
it did in early versions because of the silly gimpworks from nvidia but that shit has all been fixed with game patches. That's why i tell everyone when they pirate Witcher 3 to pirate the latest drivers as well, lots of performance improvements for every card both amd and nvidia.
>>344773360
Even doom on vulkan shows amd gains
That's a nvidia gameworks game btw
MS will make forza, gow 4, scalebound, crackdown, halo etc and they can't be bought
Amd will have support in other games like Hitman etc. they're already working on deus ex. Sorry but nvidia can't do shit
>>344763778
>AMD card
>bad hardware
>have to undervolt card to avoid killing your motherboard
yeah no thanks. AMD stuff just categorically goes into the trash and isn't even considered for me. Because they keep reinforcing the idea that their shit belongs in the trash.
>>344773746
>Sorry but nvidia can't do shit
They've been owning the market since forever, and they still own it.
Brand fanboyism is much more powerful than quality.
I'm personally glad that AMD will never be relevant, honestly.
>>344773604
the companies will only spend money up to the point where things work, fancy cooling is a "luxury" by their standards, look at the coolers that come with CPUs, also the same.
>>344773746
I'm on a 10880.
I'm fine.
>>344773812
you're a bit outdated on the information there buddy.
the undervolting actually made the card faster and 3rd party cards won't have that issue at all because they use 8pin power connectors.
keep up with the news, granpa.

we've been over this many times. you don't understand the first thing about electrical engineering. sorry.
>>344773968
yes, releasing a card that kills motherboards is about a thousand times worse than 3.5gb. not even sure how anyone can be confused about it.
>>344773604
Can't out perform and can't out price anyone else making the card or else they're really not happy.
>>344773817
If AMD was never relevant then the GTX 1080 would have costed atleast 1000 USD. It's a good thing that AMD exists not only because of competition, but also because they don't force people into using their exclusive propiaritary bullshit like gameworks and Gsync "pay us 100$ to do something your monitor cable can already do".
>>344774159
That's why I said shill status, as in nvidia shills parrot it even though it's a non issue now.
>>344774369
so you're just going into full denial instead of making any sense?
>>344765716
This has to be a meme, I've never had issues with the drivers.

you're outright wrong about that. i'm not sure how you think a monitor cable syncs refresh.

AMD doesn't gimp competitor cards because they don't have the power to do so.
>>344774430
>non issue now
when you bring the card to market with the issue, it says something about the quality of your company and the quality of your products.
so many of you seem to only be able to think in the present time and the way things are now...not think conceptually or on larger timescales.
sad.

It's literally a feature of DisplayPort, the Gsync module is literally unneeded and its why FreeSync monitors don't cost 100 dollars more for no reason.

Nearly 30% as of Q1 2016. Steam hardware survey isn't all that accurate in the end.

I know that's where I'm gonna end up inevitably, but goddamn living with a toaster laptop for the past several years and not being able to play anything more demanding that Max Payne 2 is really getting to me, to the point where I'm considering a jump back into the master race. It's hard to appreciate what a good PC gives you unless you don't have one.
AMD being bad is a meme, really. If you're talking about CPUs, of course intel is better right now, but AMD is finally getting there on GPUs. Just need to make sure the airflow is good and it should be fine.
In terms of performance/price ratio, no fucking way nvidia beats AMD right now.
>>344776050
They'd best put out that 490 soon

>AMD is finally getting there on GPUs
The 7950 outperformed the GTX 660ti and matched the GTX 670.
The 7970 outperformed the GTX 680.
The R9 290 outperformed the GTX 780.
The R9 290X outperformed the GTX 780ti.
Prior to GCN Southern Islands a lot of VLIW5 and their VLIW4 GPUs were trashing Nvidia all over the place.
They aren't *finally* getting anywhere. Nvidia only has a small lead in perf/watt because they keep cutting back hardware features from their arch. It benefits gaming, but hurts most everything else.

do you even understand what you are seeing?
i had a monitor burst into flames once btw individual electronic parts can have faults and there is nothing you can do about it
>>344775246
you have failed to understand what you read. it's an optional part of the specification, meaning monitor manufacturers would have to add extra hardware to support it, and they overwhelmingly did not.
>>344776782
yet drivers are still trash, drivers still eat a bunch of cpu, drivers still never get updated, multiple games a year still have AMD problems on launch.
pure compute numbers simply aren't all that matters. you guys sound like people who would drive around on go-karts and tell people that AC and doors aren't an issue.

When will we see HBM2 on mid-range 1070ish cards? The new titan will have it and the 490 will have it but my pockets aren't fat.

>>344777862
Not for a long time.
HBM stacks are expensive, and always will be due to complexity, and the glass interposer on the substrate will always have a flat cost. Its not going to be something you'll see on budget oriented parts for a couple years.
Besides, adding bandwidth does nothing unless the logic is there to utilize it.
>>344778078
yes, i know that was done. what I said two posts ago, which you failed to be able to intelligently evaluate, is that the support is *optional* and hence the technology *isn't supported by most monitors that have displayport*
you actually do not have the intelligence to evaluate this true, factual statement and just keep posting the same thing over and over and over.
you appear to be honestly stupid.

>>344775246
It's literally an optional feature of DisplayPort 1.2a, so no, not every DP1.2 monitor can natively do A-sync. It still has to be enabled by the manufacturer. You're right that Nvidia's chip is mostly useless though.

>you have failed to understand what you read. it's an optional part of the specification, meaning monitor manufacturers would have to add extra hardware to support it, and they overwhelmingly did not.
Seems like you are the one who can't read then, because that post says something completely different. The argument was that you thought adaptive sync would require extra hardware which clearly isn't the case, but now you are twisting the argument because you can't handle losing.
>>344778397
Where in my original post did I say that every monitor would support it natively? All I said was that the cable itself supports it.
>>344778514
Great, now you can play Doom until you upgrade your card since nobody will care about Vulkan.
>>344778674
>Now watch, as every important game engine developper decides to use DX12 instead.

Cables don't have a version, it's dependant on the port.
>>344778674

Anon, DX12 and Vulkan was made using AMD API.
>>344778909
>>344778887
Not sure what you're trying to say.
>>344778725
>All I said was that the cable itself supports it.

Ok, cool. Some want to play on ultra with decent frames.
>>344778993
What is your point ? Is nvidia going to make it's own API that developper will start to use instead of going to the standards that are DX12 for Windows and Vulkan for everything else ?
>>344765716
Right
>>344779002
While I do suck dicks, that's besides the point.
http://www.displayport.org/cables/how-to-choose-a-displayport-cable-and-not-get-a-bad-one/
>A standard DisplayPort cable is designed to work with any DisplayPort Source device, such as a PC or laptop, and any DisplayPort monitor. This means that a standard DisplayPort cable will work with the very first DisplayPort systems and displays introduced around five years ago, and they will continue to work with the newest and future systems and displays that support multi-stream and display resolutions up to 4K (Ultra HD) at 60Hz.
All cables support everything, but that's besides the point because you still need a monitor with A-sync enabled in the DP1.2a port.
>>344778725
> The argument was that you thought adaptive sync would require extra hardware which clearly isn't the case
Both g-sync (which uses proprietary stuff) and freesync (which uses adaptive sync) require specific scaler hardware to work.
>comparing a $200 GPU to a $300 GPU
Nvidia fans can't be this delusional. AMD has realeased a quality card which is affordable whilst Nvidia is about to release some rushed piece of shit which fanboys will defend, 6gb smfh.
>>344779436
So that's why a gsync monitor is 100 dollars more expensive than the same monitor but with Freesync instead?
>>344779432
Then replace cable with port.
>>344779206
No, since Nvidia already one of biggest company behind Vulkan, just like Intel, Google, ARM and Qualcomm.
I'm just that because DX12 and Vulkan was made using the same principle of AMD past API.
The only difference is that DX12 is locked to WIndows 10 and Vulkan is not, you can use it on all OSes from mobile, consoles or even PC and still works to hardware from five years ago.
