>The performance we are seeing here is pretty insane for a $199 card although actual AIB pricing will be slightly above this mark in all probability. You are looking at performance levels of the Radeon R9 390 at almost 40% discounted off the starting MSRP and nearly twice the power efficiency.

This remember the 970 was so big because of the price. People still bought that shit after 3.5 was long confirmed. Hell reviewers were like well ya that memory thing is shit but look at this power/price and still recommended it. Hell even Logan "AMD Shill" from tek syndicate said the same thing.

The price thing is going to bring AMD back into the game.

Nvidia is trying to condition the market to pay for shit like the founders edition and this is going to dump on them.

Why is everyone blowing their load over the rx480 when it's obvious that Nvidia will cuck AMD with their 1060?
>>
>>54993790
it shows that nvidia handicap their own gpus through driver updates.
>>
>>54993852
Because most of these people are new and don't remember what happened with the 390x. Good 3d mark scores, decent in game performance. All AMD cards are amazing on paper but function terribly in games.
>>
>>54993863
but that's nvidia meddling with devs
>>
>>54993704
Because nobody with half a brain would view it otherwise? No matter how idiotic the 3.5 GB usable memory vs 4 GB advertised is/was, the GTX 970 was and still is a very good card for the money. Having expectations based on marketing as a consumer is dumb and bound to make you disappointed time and time again.

>>54993831
It's 3DMark. Check the (graphics) score and compare it to similar cards. But everyone jumping the gun should just wait for proper benchmarks by multiple different sites.

>>54993749
Yeah no.
>>
>>54993852
Because it's obvious nvidia won't do anything of the sort.
They can't outpower the 480 because then they'll be fucking the 1070 over and they won't be able to match the $200.

It also won't be out until the 480 has already sold out 3-4 times.
>>
>>54993884
Sure it is
>>
>>54993859
No, it shows that Nvidia cards don't have much performance to gain through driver updates because they're as optimized as they can be pretty soon after launch. AMD takes several years to get their drivers right. If Nvidia was deliberately gimping their own cards, it would be super easy to counteract because you can just install an old version of the drivers, and Nvidia would lose a ton of customers.

But I don't know why I both. AMD customers are a bunch of anti-Semites who think Nvidia is run by Jews when their CEO is Asian and that everything is a conspiracy.
>>
>>54993898
the 1070 has titan-x tier performance for $400


you can't expect people to believe the rx480 will match that. It's going to match a 290x/390/980 which is still respectable for the price point. But it's not gonna touch the 1070.

Nobody ever said it would.

It also doesn't need to, nobody will buy a 1070 because the 480 does 1440p@60 perfectly and the 1080 / Vega is a better choice for 4K/VR.

Nvidia fucked up with their price points.
>>
>>54993914
Except if you're not a moron you'll realize they're not reducing performance, merely not bothering to improve it.

AMD are still making gains on their GCN 1.0 cards, meanwhile nvidia aren't improving maxwell anymore.
>>
>>54993970
Yes. Because it takes AMD several years to fix their drivers, Nvidia doesn't take nearly that long. You can't indefinitely improve performance of cards through driver updates.
>>
>>54993987
I still remember Nvidia fucking older graphics cards with new drivers just last year.
>>
>>54993987
And yet their performance at launch was close enough to the nvidia competitor that it's not a 'fix'.

It's called improvement, and magically every company that isn't nvidia does it.
>>
>>54993936

>>
>>54994021
There's one graphics card company that isn't Nvidia (unless you count Intel's graphics...). AMD failing to optimize their drivers at launch is not a conspiracy by Nvidia. https://youtu.be/dh9Akfu90Gs

>>54994058
Except for every other form of hardware outside of graphics cards also having the same thing happen.
>>
>>54994003
Everytime someone is asked to prove the gimping meme, they always fall back on "Nvidia just ends support for their cards earlier". That's not gimping. Neither is imperfect updates that causes problems which get patched to fix them. Like half of the examples that get brought up to prove the gimping meme were patched ffs.

>>54994870
No. 23% faster than the R9 290X in a direct comparison on 3Dmark11 does not translate to being faster than the 980ti. That second chart is based on the 1080 being 100%.

You can't just add the percentages. If we were to compare the two, you'd have to do the math: (290x performance at 56% relative to 1080, multiplied by the factor 1.23 to get the RX 480 = 68.9%)

68.9%, so somewhere between the Fury and the 980 Ti, closer to the Fury. Of course, these are two different things so who knows.

Barely. The old cards are out of production so stock is dwindling and there isn't that much pressure for retailer to drop the prices because people will eventually buy them for some reason. Sometimes they put out some bigger rebates but I never fall for those fucking things.

I remember when I was thirteen or so and I had gotten a gaming computer off Kijiji with a q6600 and nvidia 8800gts in it that ran completely fine.

When the 280 (or whatever drivers started with the 500 series) drivers came, out my card started artifacting and died in a day. A bunch of other people had the same problem. Rolling back didn't solve it.

Coming up with the money to get that computer was hell and it broke after an update. It was out of commission for a month or two before I could afford a used 550ti.

Nvidia has a clear history of being shit.

you see imperfect drivers that nvidia claimed to be working and not saying roll back we done fucked this one up, i see nvidia giving people a reason to upgrade.

this was a clear "we gimped the drivers but oh no you found out because there were benchmarks in the past" but you can see it as imperfect.

Am I the only one that is a bit disapointed ? The R9 390 cost 280€, the RX 480 is announced 200€ and 230€ for the 8GB. If they follow the nvidia example it will be ~ 250€ - 300€, so you'll have the same performances of a 390, costing less, but not that much. Only good point is power efficiency.

If the RX 480 only match the R9 390 in games, I'll be disappointed.

>>
>>54995051
I don't care about the 3dMark "Score", I care about the actual frame rates, so I did the numbers.

This card is 22% flat faster than the 290X going by raw FPS.
Keep in mind the CPUs weren't at the same clocks - the 290X's 4770K was overclocked at least 20% going by the physics scores and we all know about AMD's terrible driver overhead.

Coming from 56% relative performance of a 290X, this sits the RX480 at about 68.3% of a 1080
Now, I know the numbers aren't massively impressing, but let's look at the AMD comparison:
The RX480 outperforms/performs on par with the Fury, a chip with twice the Texture units and ROPs, 75% more shader cores, and a 512+ GB/s HBM interface using at least half the power

Now That is a respectable feat of engineering on AMD's part.

To be honest, the high refresh improves your experience in everything you do on your computer. It`s one of those things that once you have it, you may be able to tolerate 60hz, but you`ll never want that to be your daily driver.
>>
>>55000894
I've always had a upper midrange setup but that's dropped to lower than that. I had a 560ti up until the 380 meme came out. I should have waited just a bit longer for the 480 or something better.

I still have the i5-2400 so that could probably do with an upgrade for higher resolutions and refresh rates.

I think I'll wait a bit more until it becomes more affordable because I'd obviously need a new monitor too.

it`s not just for muh gaymes. But that is a primary benefit, yes. Also, it`s about improving your own personal experience. Or if you`re hyper competitive, it gives you that slight edge. Seriously, what`s the point in being able to run a game far in excess of 60 FPS if your monitor can`t even display it?

But you`re right about needing more new ideas. However, there`s a greater need for actual good ideas. But that discussion has an entire board dedicated to it.

>>54993919
The 1070 is a whole tier ahead.

They aren't meant to be direct contenders, either if a rx 480 roflstomps the 1070 or if looses miserably.

the next iteration of 490's would be their direct competition. And to make it all clear, neither is the next 1060 its direct opponent, but the next 1050. Since both camp sku's should align somewhat directly.

1050 vs rx 480
1060 vs rx 480x
1070 vs rx 490
1080 vs rx 490x

if the naming conventions remain. I also think it's quite unlikely that AMD would change it's SKUs.
>>
>>55003541
actually the x50 from nvidia felt a bit strange in direct comparison and I went to double check that they are indeed at a lower price point (129-159 as of today against the predicted 199 for the 480's). So perhaps i'llt spread accross and fall between to the probable ti and non ti's versions, not exactly sure.

Well it's a forced argument on the lower end, but the fact remains that it isn't supposed to run against Nvidia's xx70.
>>
>>55003541
Well first of all they already did change the naming convention.

It's now R 480 and RX 480.
>>
>>55003660
checked the prices for the current 950's, obviously. The upcoming 1050's should stay within that range... probably.

the 960's are ranging from 150 to 350 at newegg right now.
>>
>>55003701
that's nice to know. I was expecting a better 480, thinking that the new one was the first tier (as it was always the case with AMD's "x's"). I don't think I saw anyone else explicitly alluding to that fact and never paid much attention to the new naming convention myself.

My mistake, then.

The issue is that it was posted by someone woefully ignorant of the subject matter at hand.

GDDR5 signals twice at the peak and trough of each clock. This is why an *actual* clocked 1750mhz GDDR5 chip has an *effective* clock of 7000mhz.
HBM does not signal this way. The DRAM slices are the exact same cells used in your desktop RAM, and they signal the same way through the stack. Its plain double data rate. The R9 Fury GPUs using HBM with an *effective* clock of 1000mhz have the memory clocked at 500mhz actual.

That chart is outright stating that HBM signals like GDDR5 which is absolutely wrong. That alone calls the rest of it into question.

So in addition to all of this, separate hardware width CUs, they also describe a new system of gating off unused ALUs in the SIMD lanes so only ones that are actually executing are active.

I have no idea how this would come together as a whole GPU, because this is no radically different from SI, CI, and VI.

The CU is no longer a fixed size. IE 10CU doesn't always equal 640 ALUs/shader cores.
A 10CU GPU could have 2 CU that are 4x16, 4 that are 4x4, and 4 that are 2x2. That would total out to only 208 ALUs, but with double or more the scalar throughput.

With this in mind the RX 480 having 36CU might not have 2,304 ALUs. Thats if this patent is actually describing 4th Gen GCN, and not a future revision.

June 29 is going to be absurdly exciting.

AMD is claiming this arch can gate off waiting ALUs, combined several different small SIMD lanes together to process larger ops without performance penalty, it can send some ops to the scalar units to alleviate memory bottlenecks as they occur internally, the memory is coherent across all of the units, and the front end can utilize them anyway it wants as the situation dictates. Its extremely fluid in how it can handle execution.

I hope this is 4th gen GCN. That would be awesome.
