GTX 1070 vs Radeon RX480 thread
Okay, so euh whadda ya wanna talk about?
>>54870714
Well which one will you prefer and why.
>>54870723
Well i quess the 480 since it will be about 300 bucks less and it performs as well as a R9 390. In theory that is.
Also i'm a bit done with Nvidia, i've bought into the 670 a few years back. Should've went AMD instead.
>>54870723
RX480 because i dont want to spend more than 300$ on a graphics card. That said, i currently have a 560Ti which was a great card as well.
>>54870705
im considering getting two 480s. i run 4 monitors. how do you think two would compare to the 1070 and 1080?
If the 480 can overclock well nobody will even care about the 1070.
>>54870791
it can not overlock , it is confirmed by Lisa Su.
I will buy it anyway
fuck nvidia
it will also get better with time[with drivers]
>>54870705
this again
>>54870723
well i've been on a 750Ti for several years, and just upgraded my system to a skylake build. I have yet to upgrade the GPU.
I'll probably upgrade to the 1070 in a few months alongside a new monitor, as my current one is only 1080p.
I don't understand why /g/ loves to fight so much over gpu's. It's literally preference
>>54870723
>Well which one will you prefer
RX489
>and why.
I'm jewish, I like my $hekels
wait for benchmarks and actual retail prices
>>54870819
no it is not literally preference
it is also not REALLY preference
you are such retard
I m triggered
480 is good for poorfags, 1070 is good for people with more disposable income and want to maximize their value.
Not really much to discuss.
I am on a GTX 960 but I think i will go for the 480 or 470 depending on my needs.
Mainly need 10 bit hevc encode which the gtx 960 doesnt support.
>>54870806
Lisa didn't even talk about the GPU, but Zen.
>>54870850
>15-20% faster for $250 more
Yeah, value.
Neither is out
Neither is benchmarked
Neither has a retail price
The only thing to compare them on is cosmetics of their stock coolers
>>54870705
Why have 1070 when you can have 2x480 for same price?
>>54870850
then buy 2 480s and now you have more performance than a 1080 and still probably spent less than you'd spend for a 1070. Leave it to nvidia goys to understand "value"
Lets talk AMD and Polaris before this thread get derailed. AMD seems to have made a card that will use all of the features of newer API's(Vulkan and DX12) How long until devs start adapting. Also AMD is pushing multi GPU setups and the new APIs should support that well...I hope.
>>54870881
/thread
>>54870850
>more disposable income and want to maximize their value.
>maximise value
pay 40% more for 10% faster card, lol (if the 1070 will go for $350, which I doubt)
>>54870895
It will if Nvidia plans to sell the card to anyone but hardcore fanboys.
>>54870850
> 480 is for poorfags
Or you know, people who can handle their money in a better way.
Also after i've heard of the >3.5 .
I stopped supporting Nvidia all together.
>>54870895
why do nvidiots keep saying the 1070 will cos $350? it's clearly priced at $380+
Reference GTX 1070 is $450.
Reference RX 480 is $199.
>>54870904
right now you can preorder it for 500 euroes in my country (the 1070).
my fucking government multiplies the price difference between cheap cards and expensive ones.
I dont even consider $350 + gpus (since its 500euros + for me)

You are a bunch of disgusting mongoloid faggots. I actually enjoyed my 970 event after the 3,5 meme but it is beyond me why anyone would pay 200$ more for a card that's not substantially better.
>>54870946
You know why rich people are rich??? they dont waste money you fucking idiot.
even if you are rich now, its just a matter of time before you become a poorfag with such a mental attitude.
>>54870885
Makes me sorta regret going with a mini-ITX build.
Since Pasclel can't overclock for shit, if GCN4.0 can AMD has this in the bag.
>>54870705
where is the crossfire connector on this card??
>>54870723
480, because of things like GPUOpen and their open-source Linux driver
>>54870989
Removed because crossfire is shit admitted by Lisu Su and Pajeet himself
Are they even competitors?
The 380 was matched with the 960, so why compare a better, more expensive card to a cheaper one?
>>54870996
and how did they beat the gtx 1080 with 2 crossfire rx480
>>54870957
cucked by nshitia
>>54870946
Nvidia users are scared so they are rebelling with hate. I studied this in a online class.
>>54871002
They dont need a physical interface on the card itself anymore, its done through the pci-e port

>>54871022
oh, makes sense. thx bro
Should I sell my 390 and buy a 480?
>>54871055
Only if it overclocks really well, at stock it's around 10-15% faster.
Unless you care about power consumption like some fag.
>>54871055
lolno
>>54871033
you have no one to blame but yourself. everyone knew new cards were right behind the corner
>>54871055
If you can manage to sell the 390 for $200, then by all means
>>54871033
>i-it doesn't have DVI ports anyway...
they'll probably ship this with the card (pic related)
A generation of AMD fanboys are going to buy in to the crossfire hype train.
>2 480s will out perform a 1080! LMAYYO SUCH VALUE! Can't wait for those crossfire driver updates!
I feel so sorry for them.

It's not wasted if you want the best performance and you make enough. The GTX1080 gives me that. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's shit, it means you're poor and need to make more
How stable is CF nowadays? Are there still shitloads of issues with uneven frametiming / microstutters / whatever?
>>54871093
Not for $200.
It has HDMI though which converts to DVI much more handily.
>>54871132
kys shitposter
>>54870968
ennn...don't feel bad. Vega is on the way.
>>54871156
well, my main display has dp.. I'm concerned about my secondary display (which is shit, only vga suport)
i'll probably have to buy a new secondary monitor or a hdmi to vga connector
>>54871131
This. Unless DX12/Vulken has as good duel gpu support that they've been clamoring, never again.
>>54871093
>>54871033
the card has hdmi
you can use any ordinary hdmi to dvi cable
also this is just the reference design
>>54871166
But I have a 7870 that is getting REAL hot and REAL loud and I just want to move on already
>>54871198
>buying AMD or Nvidia reference
Why are we even talking about this? Wait another month for factory OCd models with more performance, way less temperatures and noise and then compare.
>>54871186
Get a new monitor. HDMI has no analogue outputs, you'd need to be getting an active convertor.
>>54871224
Didn't mean to quote anyone.
Ignore that.
I'm really having a hard time deciding if I should spend $1000 on my new rig with the AMD card and buying a Vive or just go insane and build a $2000 i7 rig with the meme 1080 and skipping the VR for now. Fucking choices.
>>54871146
>spending 800$ makes you rich
>>54871209
I guess you just need $200, from a 7890 it's going to be a huge difference.
>>54871250
1k rig + VR will be at least much more fun. if you dont like the vive or get bored by VR in general, sell it in six months and buy Vega/big Pascal.
I was able to try a Rift for one day and even the shittiest demos were fun to play
Are AMD cards not shit on Linux? Probably the only thing stopping me from getting one over Nvidia because I'm uneducated.
>>54871257
>being jealous
Indeed, 800$ is nothing
>>54871257
to his defence, it makes him rich in his own mind for a short period of time, before the buyers remorse kicks in
>>54871302
AMD cards are your best bet for Linux. Though, you will take a hit in performance on Linux compared to Windows.
>>54871319
Pretty much this, but the driver is becoming better every single day
>>54871319
Reading this isn't really making me any more confident in investing on AMD, I'm trying to move away from Windows and the only reason I haven't completely transitioned is because there's this one game I really like to play multiplayer kinda runs like ass through Wine.
If AMD hadn't fucked up at computex so hard I might have actually considered switching to a 480 from a 1070.
Why didn't they just show single gpu performance and use a game besides AOTS? Yes, AMD cards get impressive performance in this game but it's an outlier and is definitely a cherry picked result.
I'll still wait for actual benchmarks but with the 1070 being only like $130 more and delivering pretty much Titan X level performance I'm not so sure about the 480.
>>54870881
Amd not letting people verify gamebsettings when they show off new gpus is putting me off though. Massive red flag
>>54871148
See image on
>>54871166
Split Screen rendering, 1st GPU works on one side of the screen and the 2nd works on the other. It eliminated frame by frame rendering which gives you all the previous problems DX12 and maybe Vulkan, no support in DX11
>>54871378
The 1070 performs like the titanX according to nvidia's cherry picked results.
Wait for third party benchmarks before forming an opinion, because both AMD and nvidia cherrypick and squeeze the everloving shit out of their 'example benchmarks'.
They're squeezed so hard that they're useless.
>>54871296
That's what I might do then. I've been so excited for VR but was hesitant until they announced the 480. I can build a good i5 PC with that GPU for under $1000 that should last me for 5 years or so and by then 4K capable GPUs will be much cheaper. What demos did you play? I feel like EVE could become an addiction.
>>54870885
in 2 years, aka newer cards will do it better
>>54870806
only the reference version or all versions ?
>>54871420
>Wait for the third party benchmarks
I did. The NDA lifted a few days ago and a shit ton of benchmarks came out for the 1070.
It actually does perform very close to the titan X and 980ti.
>>54871420
Are you fucking stupid or what? Reviews have been out since Sunday
If 480 already better then 1070 how good will be 480X
Are they even doing that?
>>54871402
Nvidia does the same shit.
Ignore everything that comes from the companies themselves, it's all lies.
Price / performance the RX480 win
Power consumption the RX480 win
heating is still unknown
But I'll just wait that AMD release their GPU that will be ~400 - 600€
>>54871446
the 480 is not anywhere as good as the 1070. If anything it's going to try and compete with the 1060.
>>54871378
https://www.youtube.com/?v=M3TvcDXbcNA
2 minutes in. Runs alright.
The native resolution of the monitor is 1080p, but it uses VSR to reach 1440p.
Suppose this is the best we got
>>54871378
He doesn't know Nvidia worked with the developers of AotS after AMD
>>54871512
Elaborate
>>54870884
The inflated electricity bill would make up for that difference.
Sod Nvidia, though. Friend of mine is looking at getting a new GPU and can't even consider AMD, because he's effectively locked in by his Gsync monitor.
>>54871350
League?
>>54871456
Thats not the point. Its $199 and it's out soon. and you can buy 2 of them for nearly less than a single 1070.
>>54871577
It really just depends what you want from the card.
I'm fortunate enough to be in a position that I am able to spend a bit more money, so I'm not entirely concerned with price/performance.
The 1070 may not win against the 480 in terms of price/performance, but in terms of raw single gpu performance it's definitely going to outperform the 480.
Also, the 1070 is out sooner. Not sure what you're point in saying that was.
>>54871302
Proprietary driver: Nvidia
Free driver: AMD
I don't want to deal with proprietary drivers, so I prefer AMD on Linux. My old HD6850 has kept up with my needs, but I'm hardly a heavy gamer. Don't think I've run anything more demanding than Dota 2.
>>54871166
Imagine when it stutters on DX12
The 2 halves o fthe screen doing completely different things
>>54870881
Well, then I think the simply boxy design of the 480 is better than the stealth fighter look of the 1070.
>>54871595
If money isn't a concern and you want the most powerful single GPU you might as well go balls deep with a 1080.
>>54871608
>Proprietary driver: Nvidia
Only performance-wise, at least if you would believe some Phoronix posters. Apparently under regular desktop usage, even Nouveau beats it.
I don't see why anyone would pick Nvidia unless they were a heavy gamer, and if that was the case, I don't see why they'd be using Linux in the first place, making their proprietary driver pretty redundant.
>>54871302
AMD cards really aren't shit on Linux, unless you really want to play the latest games on said platform
>>54870881
>I'm retarded: The post
There are tons of benchmarks for both the 1070 and 1080.

For the throttling housefire refer- whoops, 'founders' cards.
Nobody sane buys that.
>>54871683
All that means is that the custom cards are going to perform even better than the reference benchmarks.
Either way we have a pretty good idea of how these cards will perform.

Oxide Games Claims Nvidia GPUs Do Not Support DirectX 12 Asynchronous Compute
http://www.game-debate.com/news/17943/oxide-games-claims-nvidia-gpus-do-not-support-directx-12-asynchronous-compute
5 September 2015
NVIDIA Will Fully Implement Async Compute Via Driver Support
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-will-fully-implement-async-compute-via-driver-support.html
Nvidia worked with Oxide to get the game running at best as they can with driver/software based aSync
The reason the game is doing so well on AMD is because AMD's chips fully support DX12 and Vulkan features. So to say Oxide is on AMDs side is incorrect. They are just using DX12 to its full potential that AMDs hardware is compatible with...you know what this sounds like? It sounds like when a developer used gameWorks and fucks up a AMD card it's just that Nvidia is now on the other side of the table.
>>54870850
>Poorfags
I bet you also own a MacBook.
do you guys think it would be worth upgrading from my 280x to a 480?
>>54871653
Yeah I imagine this would be much more annoying than the old stutter. Like the two halves not lining up perfectly because the timing is slightly off.
>>54870705
None. Got a R9 390 thats gonna do fine till summer 2018 or so...
>>54871703
These two companies have a history of fucking eachother up, but I'll take AMD's side in this case for actually progressing the market, if its not all memes.
>>54870705
R 480 = 980 performance
1070 = Titan X performance
Depends on how much performance you need.
Out of question, RX480.
I plan to buy new PC around late July. At first I wanted GTX 960, but new cards got announced so I waited.
Nvidia started with their 1070 for whooping 390$ starting price. This week, AMD proposed RX480 - card that, according to prototype tests, would have either performance between current GTX 970 and 980 (closer to 980) or better than 980 - for starting price 200-250$.
Weaker variant for 200$ is fine for me, since I always buy something similar to Nvidia 60s line. But since, according to firsts tests, 1070 will have 30% better performance than 980, buying 1070 would mean, opposed to Rx480, paying either 50% or even up to 80% higher price, for 30% better performance.
I know that Nvidia said something about presenting 1060 earlier than expected and I still have like two months left. But for now, I really set up my mind on RX480 combined with i7-6700K (no, I wont wait for Zen).
Feel free to convince me into different choice. But mind that I refuse to pay 350-400$ for GPU alone.
>>54871748
>480 = 980 performance
We don't even know this yet. I think it's in between a 970 and 980 but until we have single gpu benchmarks from third parties we can't be sure.
>>54871748
Well I'm no expert but I'm sure it's not 980 levels. Probably 390 levels.
>>54871768
I hope they can OC it. 2304 shaders @1.3-1.4 GHz would be a great card for 250 € @150W. This really makes me hope AMD would deliver something viable in the future.
>>54871768
Why do you fags keep spouting this shit. 2 of them can outperform a 1080. It's going to be grossly more powerful than you think.
>>54871768
Not him but thats the only info I got.
Somebody have anything else?
>>54870756
The 1070 doesn't cost over 500 dollars ya dingus. It's like a 150 dollar difference.
>>54871804
2 970's can also probably outperform a 1080 at certain tasks.
Multi gpu benchmarks in a cherrypicked game hardly give us any information at all.
We already knew that cards like the 290X were outperforming the titan X in AOTS but not in any other games, so these benchmarks are hardly indicative of real world performance.
>>54871823
>see 1070 is only $380USD
>that's like $530 australian, cheaper than the 970 when it launched
>get excited
>first local price revealed

>>54871813
>below 50% xfire scaling
Either drivers aren't all there yet or that bench is nonsense.
>>54871866
I'm going with the nonsense.
>>54871862
isnt it cheaper to get a guy in the states buy 5 cards for you and ship it to you ?
and then sell the 3 remaining cards at slightly better prices then the local prices ?
>RX480 launches
>AMD lowers price by another $20
This will happen.
>>54871849
They're fairly indicative of performance in AOTS, and possibly other DX12 games (if there were any)
>>54871883
that's a lot of bother, I'd rather buy x1 card from an online store and just pay the high shipping.
>>54871862
death by australia tax
just buy it overseas and get it shipped in
>>54871893
Yes they're very indicative of performance in AOTS but as I've said even in other DX12 games there is a much smaller difference in performance between nvidia and amd cards.
Everyone knows that amd cards perform stupid well in AOTS and that's why they used it as the benchmark. It would be like Nvidia using fallout 4 to compare their cards to AMD cards knowing full well their cards perform much better than AMD cards.

>>54870723
I had a job when I got my gtx 670, now I have less money so I'll have to settle on the 480.
I'm not too fussed over which brand to buy, but this time AMD is best within my budget. Last time Nvidia was
>>54871166
So... They user the same thing Voodoo 2 had, only this time it's vertical instead of horizontal.
>>54871941
In the end it all depends on what card you buy.

RX480 vs 980ti
I'll be upgrading to a 480 from an HD6970 so I can at least keep up again. Seems like a good choice considering I'll want to upgrade when big Vega comes out.
>>54871764
P-please respond ;_;
>>54872026
Like I said, I plan to buy new PC around late July.
Right now, I have GTX 660. If this RX480 will indeed cost 200$ and will give me performance similar to what Nvidia would offer in 60s line (probably better than 970 or between 970 and 980), then they have my money.
If it will be better, then Im okay with this.
I just dont want it to be worse.
>>54872032
What the hell do you want us to respond to?
You just said you were picking between the 480 and 1070 but you refuse to pay more than $350 so that removes the 1070.
Just wait for Nvidia's answer to the 480 since that should also be out before you build your pc and decide then. It's too early to be deciding on builds.
>>54871764
>>54872032
Seems like a good choice. I doubt that the 1060 will have a significantly better performance/price ratio than the 480. And the 480 seems like it will last a pretty decent while, as a budget card of course.
Either the 1060 will cost more, or it will perform worse.
>mfw waiting for vega
>>54872057
Yeah, you are right. Sorry for that, emotions gets over me whenever I plan to buy something new.
Not to mention that overall spending money on something is not plesant experience for me, any bigger sum really makes me feel bad for spending money instead of hoarding it...
>>54872032
What games you play should tell you what card to get. If you play GameWorks Games get Nvidia. I play BF4 and that runs good on AMD. Also think about how long will you have your card and will you be playing the new DX12 games. Google DX12 game list. AMD is having better price to performance in DX12. Now but which ever card you like.
>>54872083
*Now but which ever card you like.
>>54872094

Fucking made the error twice wtff
>>54872074
aye, you should keep that mattress filled.
winter is coming and a 1070 won't keep you warm.....or will it?
>>54872074
Lol damn you just made me feel bad I didn't really mean to call you out that hard.
But yeah, the 480 is probably going to compete with the 1060 which will probably be in the same price range. Wait for third party benchmarks before deciding on a purchase.
The only purchases I would recommend this summer would be if you absolutely have your heart set on a 1070 or 1080 since the AMD competitors to these cards won't be out until October/November.
>>54872094
>Only 2xAA on Angry Birds

Biased graph.
>>54872083
I kinda play anything, except for "AAA" titles like CoD, Assasins Creed and other with lack of optimization and slogans like "get GTX1080 for TRUE gaming experience".
It would be a shame, tho, to launch something like Dark Souls 3 or TES VI in the future and being unable to play.

It actually renders more than half the screen because objects on the screen will and may cross over to the other side...like a building or something. I'm not going to get in the tech details but yea no stutter and half screen stutter cant happen because the screen renders more than half.

I wanted to get a 960 but got a R9 380 instead, sold now, but the 380 beat the 960 fair and was 40€ cheaper when I got it.
>>54870705
1070 aint worth it at price of $400, should be around $350 with the aftermarket coolers
RX480 is the perfect card for poorfags that was amazed / bought 750Ti yet at the performance of GTX 980 for fucking $200, if the upcoming benchmark can prove this card can live up to the hype. This card can be crowned king of 1080p in terms of value.
I'll be supporting AMD because fucking Nvidia's prices has been out of control, keeps getting higher and higher over the past few releases and Im having driver problems since December 2015 and still no fixes even if I clean them from safemode.
>>54872215
That's not why it can't shutter, it can't shutter because both the GPU's get fed the same data, working as one, one is just rendering half, the game engine does not even see two different GPU's only the API does.
You can't have just bites slowing down randomly because the bite had to take a piss.
If it shutters it shutters everywhere if it does not it does not.
>>54872248
I'd say if it works like that then the name "split frame rendering" is a bit off. Considering it doesn't actually split the frame and renders them separately. It seems like it just renders the whole frame with 2 GPUs, just choosing what to calculate on what GPU by splitting the frame, which is pretty arbitrary.
Not him though, and obviously not that knowledgeable about DX12 and shit.
>>54872275
One GPU per screen side, the GPU just stops rendering shit passing over the middle, it's pure maths. They work as one, but don't render the whole scene.
i've always had a tradition of switching brands with every new purchase, but nvidia's prices are just insane now with the 1070 even more expensive than a fucking console. i think i'll upgrade my 7850 to a RX 480
>>54872237
Even if they lower the 1070 to $300 aftermarket, it will only meet the the price/performance parity. At $450 FE and $380 MSRP, the 1070 is really a bad price/performance card.
>>54870705
If this thing can overclock for another 15-20% increase the damn things won't even be visible on the shelves.
>>54872419
>AMD
>overclock
TIP TOP LEL
>>54872434
Nice underage, the only GPUs AMD made that can't overclock much are Fury and Hawaii, everything below that could OC like mad, even Hawaii can push over 10% with good silicon.

>>54872356
Even further low to gets it's real worth when compared to its competition, just sad for nvidia how competent amd has been for its video cards unlike their cpu from what I've heard when placed against intel.
Guess since Im really in need of a card right now I'll go with the rx480 upon release day, It will probably live for a year or two or three enough time for hbm2 to be affordable and might go with nvidia again or if rx480 can keep me happy, maybe i'll try amd again.
I don't understand why people are comparing the 1070 and the 480. They don't seem to be going for the same market at all. If you were considering getting a 1070 then why not wait for AMD's ~$400 range card and compare that to the 1070? I've even seen some people say (although I think it's just bait) that they were considering a 1080 but now want a 480. It doesn't really make sense.
As for me, I currently have a gtx 560ti from 2012 and I want to see which cards will be competitive at 1440p. Waiting for a ton more benchmarks that are relevant to my needs and represent real world usage.
Let me know when AMDGPU-PRO allows AMD's cards to use their full potential.
Thanks
>>54870884
This is stupid. SLI scaling is game dependent. Some games will not scale at all. No nvidia shill here but stop with the SLI bullshit.
>>54871764
>i7-6700k
>low end GPU
Why do people do this retarded shit still?
>>54871131
Well obviously these people have never dealt with the horrors of a multi-gpu setup let alone a budget/midrange CF/SLI setup.
Hope they enjoy going single GPU while that 2nd card goes to waste when they run into issues that may or may not be fixed.
>>54872467
>>54872434
My 380 goes up to 1150 core 1650 mem, that's over 10% the stock!
>>54872585
I have no idea why anyone ever bought Tonga, it's practically a smaller Hawaii but more expensive and with less hardware.
>>54872181
>never buying 70s or 80s lines, due to their high prices and too low performance gains compared to 60s.
Idiotic statement considering you're getting a fucking i7, you moron.
>>54872573
RX 480 is far from low end GPU.
>>54872581
you're going on like we're still on DX11 and without vulkan or mantle or any other better API, all new api's are built around multi gpu, lern2compute nig.
>>54872495
They're not going for the same market, but the 480 is well within the reach of 1070 if there's enough OC headroom. Not only that, both can do 1080p quite well. The difference will come with 1440p.
Also 1070 is the lowest offering nvidia card on the market (paper launch right now) and 480 is the AMD's only card announced and soon to be released this month.
It would be weird to compare 480 to 1080, but a 1070 and 480 could be lightly compared since they are within 1 tier of each other but the price difference is huge.
>>54872641
The performance gain from i5 -> i7 is far less than the performance gain from a 480 -> 490 / 1060 -> 1070. That money is far better spent on GPU.
>>54872615
Well, it is CGN 1.2, OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX 12 games benefit from it greatly.
Also the card was 180€, brand new. That's that Hawaii based cards go used right now.
Also, are you mixing something up? Hawaii cards are 290/390, they are way more expensive then 180€.
>>54872674
Theres hardly even a tier more like 0.5, dohoho
>>54872657
Stop with these delusions.
>>54872686
>That's that Hawaii based cards go used right now.
Wanted to say: That's not even what*
>>54872686
Sorry, I slipped.
Meant Tahiti in all those instead of Hawaii.
>>54872680
i agree that faggot could get an i5 6600k and there wouldnt be any problem, lets hope he's not just gaming on that i7
>>54872708
>Tahiti
And as I said, GCN 1.2 and 4GB cards, not just 3GB, at 180€ that's not bad for a brand new card (that was like 6 months ago when I got it).
>>54872674
I don't see them being comparable at all from what we've seen so far.
>>54872760
They are both new gpus.
This should remove your "at all"
You can compare any and all GPU, unless you're retarded fanboy.
>>54872773
Learn English, my dude. Context matters and words have more than one meaning.
>>54872657
>all new api's are built around multi gpu
Vulkan and Dx12 are both shifting the majority of the responsibility of SLI/Crossfire to the devs. Devs already don't optimize for SLI/Crossfire, now it's likely they'll have to do even more work, which obviously they won't. SLI/Crossfire is dead. Like, for real dead, not just impractical as it was before.
>>54870705
Tgis might be a stupid question but does a radeon rx480 now out perform the gtx 970
>>54872850
it will, yes.
It arguably may even outperform the 980.
As always, don't believe anything until we get real benchmarks though.
>>54872850
nobody can tell you since there are no official tests yet.
there are some tests floating around where it outcompetes the 980, but who knows for sure, might as well be marketing and lies
>>54872850
Thats the lowest performance prediction right now. The highest is near Fury. The middle ground is 390X/980.
>>54870806
Citation needed. From the outside judging by the card element it should OC well.
Isn't vulkan pretty much the best reason to buy amd
Will the time finally come when I replace my 7850
>have 970
>motherboard supports crossfire
Should I amd shills?
>>54871033
Customs will have dvi 100%. The necessary things are on the card.
480 has around 9B transistors, at least it will be near Fury X in performance.
>>54872948
Forgot to mention I play in 1440p
>RX480 comes out in nearly a month
I can't take it any longer, I'm tired of my 2gb gtx 770 bullying me
Holy shit I might actually go crossfire like all the rich kids this time
>>54872967
AMD might have thrown more transistors at power management compared to last gen, but yeah, transistor count for GPUs is a pretty good indication of performance for a single vendor.
>>54870705
When 480/X are coming out for public?
its pretty sad that amd needs 100 watts more to compete with nvidia.
1070 is available june 10th... what's the usual wait for aftermarket cards? People are throwing around date like July/August... they're being shown at computex so it can't be that far apart, right?

it's amazing how tantrum'ish people get when they don't like a thread. makes you wonder if they stomp around and scream in real life when someone talks about something they don't like...
>>54870705
It's really simple.
1440p = GTX 1070
1080p = RX 480
If you go 1070 on a 1080p monitor, enjoy throwing money down the drain on another NVidia card that isn't likely to age well. If you go 1440p on the RX 480, enjoy your non-demanding games, or lower the settings on the demanding ones because it's not going to max things out like a 1070 will.
>>54873217
I use a 43" 4k tv as a monitor... Do I have to go 1080? Surely the 480 can do a little 4k.
>>54873217
You can get 2 480 for almost the price of a 1070 though
>>54873262
1080 is the only single card that can do 4k. And that's just barely
>>54873283
>dealing with 2 cards at all
>possibly having to buy a new mobo for it
>having to buy 2 cards to keep up with a competitor's midrange
Does noone see how retarded this is
>>54873303
Not even a 2020MHz 1080 can't do Witcher at 4k at stable 60FPS
>>54873324
What's wrong with buying two cards if it offers better price/performance?
>not already having a mobo capable of SLI/CF
If there's two things you shouldn't cheap out on is the mobo and the power supply
>>54873262
You can always turn settings down like I said. Not everyone needs MSAA x8, godrays, and tessellation out the ass.
>>54873283
So? Frame time variance is a thing. Multi-GPU setups are not something I'd jump to. Sure they have higher average FPS, but the microstutters make for a worse experience.
>>54870806
the only thing lisa said is that they are about to unveil gpus from 100 to 300
480 is the middle one on 199....
this shit is just 2008 all over again
amd released 4870 at 300 literally 300 bucks less than gtx 280 had 3% less perf and had 10% less power draw..nvidia decided to stop producing the gtx 260 and cut quite a lot of money on 280 in the end for 2Q nvidia had quite a loss because of it..
if and im going to stretch the if (cause they are all too much silent on the matter of dx11) this card proves that it can match or beat a 980 on dx11 it has literally killed every single card from 1080 and below even second hand ones..
>>54873361
>microstutters
Nice meme, multi GPU setups have been having less and less issues for years
>>54871670
His point is that we don't have head to head benchmarks, and the 480's performance hasn't been shown outside of AMD's shady marketing video.
WAIT. FOR. BENCHMARKS.
>AMD dropping 480 to $160 in a month or two
>>54873411
>shady marketing video
How so? Ashes of Singularity benchmark is real and verified. If anything is "shady", its the 1080's rendering of Ashes of Singularity. The 1080 doesn't render the all the snow shaders properly. If they did, then their fps average would drop few percentage.
>>54873357
Dual gpu set ups are shit, even under dx12. A ton of games don't even have proper sli/crossfire setup.
>>54873420
I'd have to make a script to check websites for stock constantly or I'd never get to buy it.
>>54873303
>>54873333
>poorfags who can't afford 4k panels justifying why they don't game on 4k yet
>>54873262
It will max out less demanding games, but expect medium settings in more demanding AAA games.
Better to buy a $200 card now and wait for the really powerful 4k cards in early 2017 than to buy an overpriced 1080.
>>54873438
I can simply use DSR/VSR and render it at 4k, it won't look 100% like native but it will be close enough.
Benefit is that I also get high refresh rates.
refresh rates > resolution btw
>>54873262
Bro you need to go 2x 1080 unless you want to serious turn down the graphics.
>>54873438
>I play Minecraft in 4k
>>54873428
It's real but doesn't show the settings it's running at. In this comparison screen grab it looks like the two are on completely different settings. For reference 480 is left and 1080 is right.
>>54873457
>Downsampling to 25% of the pixels
>Anything like real 4k

Not everyone lives in Burger Land, anon.
>>54873433
They've been fine for years. Most games that don't support it don't require the power anyway
>>54873471
Nice try, but AMD already confirmed the exact settings and results.
Right looks different because there is less snow.
The reason for being less snow is Nvidia using driver hacks to get more fps by not rendering the scene properly. Nvidia is cheating. AMD is running the benchmark correctly.
>>54873433
you cant really compare the way cf works on dx11 with multi gpu rendering on dx12....
while the basics are the same the execution is quite different...thats why its hardware agnostic now

>chooses to buy to card which fits their wants and needs better.

Literally preference.
>>54873487
when you're talking on a global website where the companies decide on a USD price and the rest of the world takes it from there and modifies it based on taxes and other shit the only price that matters is the USD price. it's irrelevant what happens to the cost of a card once it hits the shelves in brazil or south africa, and is not controlled by the companies who make them.
>>54873504
>>54873471
Anyone can spin this however they want, there's no doubt the 1080 is more powerful, it's a bigger chip for a reason, but the 480 should be very close or on par with a Fury X.
Trying to dissect what's on screen is pointless, especially when one relevant party throws in a few variables in there.

I can't find the other benchmark link, but here's a 1440p version from 480. The 1080 was doing bit less.
