>According to our information, some european stores already received their stock, and they are ready to sell Polaris 10-based graphcis cards. In China a company called Dataland (Chinese PowerColor brand), was already selling places on reservation lists.
Meanwhile some reviewers already have their cards for tests, so we expect to see a lot of leaks in the coming days.

Do you like? I mostly only care about how well it will perform but kinda like the look.

good thing I checked the catalog. Was about to post this.
And let's just avoid discussing the source of the leaks.
>>55014231
I posted yesterday, I work at AMD. Test cards are being sent out. No one can officially release benches until the 29th but of course they will leak it.

>>55015662
What matter are the results. 390 came out, seemingly better than the 970, but it was late, the 480 i going to make it obsolete while not really offering any significant power gains.Nvidia shills the last shekel out of their loyal goyums but they always make sure their cards offer a hefty amount of power and win benchmarks -- that's what matter, more fps.
Who gives a fuck about tdp? Electricity is cheap.
>>55015728
The 390 against the 970 holds merit.
Nonetheless, the 480 against the 1070 has no place in this discussion. It's a 200 (~) card vs a 400 (+) one.

>>55016056
Much like the 1080 is selling for $800 the 480 will be more initially. New = pay the premium. I never expected it to be $199 to euro/gb. VAT plus other shit will pump the price upwards. US has different taxing schemes per state so you can't really compare it anyhow.
>>55016101
True but what the fuck. 200$ would be 150€ plus taxes 180€ so 230€ for the 8gb...
>>55014231
Looks like shit desu senpai, but I only care about how it performs and the price.
>>55016116

nah most likely 200-250 euro and £200-£250
and still with that price point i'm fine with a straight conversion as pre import taxes the 480 should be around £150-170 for the 4gb version.

>>55016573
Nvidia fanboys called the 390 a rebrand, yet Pascal is the rebrand this time around and they have the balls to claim it will be something revolutionary.

>Pascal is the rebrand
God this fucking board is worse each day that passes. This has to be bait, but how can you call a fuckin' die shrink a rebrand you fucking idiot?
>>55016753
Little to no architectural changes is a rebrand.
All the performance of Pascal comes from clocks and more hardware.
>>55016753
Because it's the same architecture, just shrunk. It offers nothing new. Nvidiots will get into semantics about what constitutes a rebrand, but the fact is that Pascal is Maxwell at 14nm with higher clocks, and nothing more. That is a rebrand.
>>55015728
>390 came out, seemingly better than the 970, but it was late,
better than a reference 970, but an OCed 970 smokes it completely. the 390 is rebranded garbage.

I know there isnt much info and shit out there.
But my 2gb GTX 770 is starting to act up.
Is this going to be a viable choice to replace it with?
I dont really game much nowadays...
>>55016784
I don't think that's entirely accurate. Not because I've read the specs and compared them (or rather an educated guess by analyzing the die diagrams) but because I've seen that several reviewers are saying that the 'IPC' on Pascal might be coming short from Maxwell. Some of those, are also defending the theory that the substantial gains on the new cards are mostly accounted by this renewed push for higher clocks and the die shrink itself (which mostly allows for higher clocks in the first place).
>>55018088
Which also could explain the ban on OC'ed 980 ti's and titans benchmarks for the first batch of the reviews.
>>55018043
you've got 3 weeks to wait. You really shouldn't be basing your decision on forum shitposting and wild rumors... or 1 benchmark made by the manufacturer himself.
Since your card isn't dead yet, I'd recommend to wait®
>>55014231
what the fuck it looks like shit, I was actually excited for the 480 too.
>>55018028
I'm hue.
21% tax would be a dream come true.
I checked the exchange rates for the pre order ont he 1080 yesterday and it came to 1.175 usd on a direct conversion. Which was not as bad as I expected.
Can I buy this on the 29th or will I have to get some meme shit instead?
>>55016784
>>55018088
Just to make it clear.
If it were the case of a simple die shrink, or rebrand as you've put it, the IPC shouldn't go down, theoretically. Of course, take into account that if they were experiencing some kind of manufacturing trouble that could very likely be the case.
>>55018370
if you were to wait you would at the very least get better deals on the 970's or may be even grab the 980's including the ti's for a better price. It depends on what will come from AMD, but nvidia is cannibalizing some of of it's own line, so whatever the case with the 480's, the overall prices should manifest a downward trend for Nvidia's last gen gpus.
>>55014791
$200 for reference design 4GB
$229 for cheap 8GB
$249 for high end custom 8GB
makes sense
>>55018453
I was just wondering if this card will come out on the 29th, or if that's just going to be some weird reference cards.
I'm looking for something to hold me over until Vega or the 1080Ti, my 980 recently kicked the bucket and the 1080 hasn't really impressed me.
>>55014231
So this is what my new GPU looks like. Hot.
>>55018524
I think that Raja said "available at the stores, on the 29th" during the computex stream.
Since we've already strated experiencing these random vendor leaks, it's probably truthful. Or not very far from the mark.

>it's actually better than the 980
I think I'm gonna cum.
so, should I switch from a 295x2 to 2 480s?
ive been thinking about it but idk
pros:
looks to be slightly faster
way less power
way less heat
8gb vram instead of 4gb
cons:
4 lanes blocked instead of 2
heat exhausted into case
have to sell old card which is a bit of a hassle
anything i missed? if the performance really is fury level on this card i might jump and go for it, the 295x2 is really a killer package though and can go down to single slot if i get off my ass and watercool properly
>>55019525

That's because its one particular moron who for the last year or more, has always screamed 'AMDPOORFAGS' non stop because IT is quite literally a pajeet shill and is doing what it must to get paid.

It's a sub-150W card so it shouldn't be loud with any cooler.
custom coolers are mostly for overclocking

What fuckery is this? I call bullshit.
It should be done with taking result A + result B, adding them together then dividing by 2.
Unless Maxwell can handle doing both together better then Fiji, but that makes no sense as its something that GCN's ACE should be good at.
Especially once an updated, DX12 version is released.
>>55019673
You could vote with your wallet and not support unnecessary proprietary bullshit. Nvidia are assholes, I used to have an old Nvidia card just for PhysX, but now you can't even do that when paired with another AMD card, fuck them. AMD has GPUopen, basically the antithesis of Gameworks.
>>55019622
>no one ever sees me in my undies
poor lad. We got you bro.
>>55019715
>It should be done with taking result A + result B, adding them together then dividing by 2.
No. It's a separate test. PhysX streamlines the process giving Nvidia an edge.
>>55019762
But you'd think that if it made that much difference, it'd have given the card an edge in a physics only test anyway.
>>55019762
the physics test is entirely CPU based and has nothing to do with physX. Don't spread bullshit if you don't know what you're talking about
>>55019673
Nvidia gave up on physics since it can be done with cpu. They're more about sabotaging the games itself with gameworks nowadays.
>>55019811
Correction: the physics part of the combined test is running some calculations on the GPU, but it's using Directcompute. Not physx

Thanks /g/uys. I might pick up the RX 480, then.
maybe this is what kyle from hardocp was on about. the reference cards were probably hot garbage with mediocre performance due to throttling (not uncommon for reference cards) but now its been revealed board partner cards will release on the same day as the launch day, amd have dodged a bullet by letting reviewers test out the cooler and higher clocked aftermarket cards. they probably didn't want another 290x situation.
>>55020094
Stop it already,Kyle. A card with a single 6 pin connector is not hot.

>>55020180
>physical evidence

>>55016753
Nvidia have been using the same architecture since the 8000 days. All they've done is shrunk the cores down and added more of them. Every new release like Kepler or Pascal is just a slight update to those 8000 cores.
>>55020255

We don't know anything about Vega except that it will carry HBM2 and is probably fat Polaris.
>>55020681
2017. Rumors were that it was being "pulled to October" but there's no corroboration of any kind.
>>55020700
I certainly hope we're not waiting until October to get something better than the 480. I was expecting a bombshell at E3
>>55020694
With HBM2 being included, sounds like it'll be a thousand dollar plus card. Not interested in anything that goes over $650, maybe $700 if it's really fucking good.
>>55020727
>I certainly hope we're not waiting until October to get something better than the 480
Then buy a 1070 or something. I'm sitting with a 970 waiting for high end Vega since GTX 1080 is not good enough, i.e. it doesn't run 4k and 1440p at desired refreshes. Oh and yes, of course it's going to be expensive with HBM2.
>>55020727
Ah ye i was worried about that but i've been reading that HBM2 will have way better yields and since HBM doesnt scalate like 1GB/2GB/3.5GB but rather 4/16/32, even in bigger quantities it may be cheaper and also less power hungry, since the fury series memory controller technically meant adding 50w to the card's TDP
It may be 600-700 time will tell
Doubt amd would make a single gpu 1000 dollar card, that was just once on the 4000 series i think

I'm just in a bad position, got a 980ti, hated it, stepped up to 1080 ACX, if I keep it unopened I can get my $600 back and go back to AMD (Crimson is so much better)
Just bought a 21:9 1440p free sync monitor too. I want free sync.

>>55020781
Out of curiosity, why did you hate your 980ti?
>>55020781
if you already bought a 1080 just use it. AMD doesn't have anything to compete with it until much later in the year. They just aren't going to go in and fight at the ultra high level because it's bad business. They're going to dominate the mid-low range for the next 8 months, then update their high end chips with Vega and probably repeat the whole process over again in another 8 months after that.
>>55020802
Drivers. I was on the 390 before. I really like Crimson. It's not a bad card, I just feel like a retard paying double for 5-10 frames more and a higher setting here and there. Not worth it.
>>55020819
>I just feel like a retard paying double for 5-10 frames more and a higher setting here and there. Not worth it.
Of course not. Anything higher than the 390/970 was retarded and the 1080 is an even more retarded buy.
>>55020819
Do you still have your 390? If you do, return the 1080 and see what Vega has to offer. Otherwise, just use the 1080.
>>55020817
Well I mean if AMDbro can confirm that something a bit better will be released on Polaris in the next month or two that'd tide me over, but I really want AMD, especially with that freesync monitor.
>>55020836
Needed it for the Vive and development.
>>55020863
>Needed it for the Vive and development.

I'd rather wait for second generation products or price drops. Current prices are ridiculous.
>development
Fair enough.
>something a bit better will be released on Polaris in the next month or two that'd tide me over
I'm almost 100% sure they won't release something bigger than Polaris in these few months. Maybe the 480x if you're lucky, but that would mean close to 980Ti/Fury X or above it.
>>55020787
Consumer grade cpu enthusiast or not
Not "Prosumer" whatever the fuck that means

>>55020382

>>55020915
Perhaps I was not explicit enough. AMD would charge $1k for a "consumer grade cpu [sic] enthusiast" if they could justify it, ie. the performance was comparable to the Titan X over all the other cards. AMD prices there products based upon what the market permits as demonstrated by the Firepro.
>>55020472
dude there's nothing left, move on
>>55020952
Ah yes i know
I remember some athlons going for 1200 even though they offered not much more performance than a 400 dollar athlon but since it technically was the most powerful cpu back then it was expensive
I mean you can always justify a price one way or another but ATI's (RTG whatever fuck you) strategy is mostly price perf unless nvidia fucks up like back in fermi vs evergreen
>>55020681
They did say they will be releasing polaris cards from $100 to $300. We'll just have to wait for the 29th and see what the $250 and $300 cards are.

Crossfire benchmarks released. Looks so shit compared to the one they showed off
>>55021053
Probably because it is a brand neutral test.
>>55016282
8GB will be some overkill for a 1080p level card, because the most console devs have to work with is ~5.5, and from this I doubt even the worst of 1080p games will draw much more than 4-5 (the game engine takes up some of the console's 5.5 allotment too)
The increasing trend though has been caching as much game assets as possible into VRAM, which is why for instance GTA:V can have some pretty awful VRAM usage for what you get graphically.
Right now it's probably way too much, but if you keep your cards for 3-4 years it might be the perfect amount. 2012 era 2GB cards are getting long in the tooth even at 1080p, when it comes to VRAM.
It's also a perfect amount for 4k Crossfire, for whatever that's worth.
>>55021058
Far left result looks a bit underwhelming 2bh. I can't tell what's causing the performance gap between the same card in the far left benchmark and the one to the right of it.
>>55018910
This,
Tinfoilers don't realize things like Gawker are just generic internet businesses where one guy (like Denton) decides to pander to a specific audience (impressionable kids and liberals) in order to make a lot of cash with shitty gossips and bait articles.
Same goes for Alex Jones who panders to right-wingers and sells snake oil.
All of them deserve the gulag
>>55020982
>ATI's (RTG whatever fuck you) strategy is mostly price perf
You assume they have a choice. They haven't had the chance to lead the market since the 5000 series.
>>55021053
These benchmarks on the left basically confirm the 480x to be around 970/390 levels of performance.
>>55021053
18060/25803 = 1.43
43% scaling really isn't good, but this is only on some unfinished drivers... I wouldn't expect more than 60-70% at best in dx11 though.
>>55015570
>4GB means 3,5 + 5GB
That would make it 8,5 GB

Hope they consider going back to ati since i loved that name
>>55021175
>These benchmarks on the left basically confirm the 480x to be around 970/390 levels of performance.
where are you getting that from? It's a completely different chip, the :C4 instead of the :C7 that's been confirmed to be the 480, and is probably even on older drivers, the test date was back in April...
>>55021228
>I'm blind
It clearly shows the two left benchmarks are the c7 aka 480. Match those scores up with the graph of 3dmark performance results.
>>55021266
The AMD shillforce is out. Marketing for AMD has started a little early.
>>55021407
Nigga what? I'm saying it's 970 performance and I've provided evidence. All these fanboys keep saying it's fury performance when it clearly isn't.
>>55021458
I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm saying he isn't blind. He's just blindly defending his employer he is shilling for.
>>55021458
It has a graphics score of 18060. How exactly is that 970 performance, you stupid shill?
I really don't want to get a new video card when my current setup isn't even 3 years old yet but my first venture into a dual gpu setup has been very disappointing. I just recently went to a 1440 monitor and my single 290x does alright. I'm wondering if I should just wait another year before getting a new card. When the games supports crossfire the 290x is amazing but maybe like 2 out the 10 games I play support it so the 2nd card is just collecting dust. I really have to question why crossfire and SLI even exist, is it just for benchmark bragging rights?
>>55021458
You are blind as fuck moron
>>55021504
it beats the fury x at $199
Nvidia is fucking FINISHED
>>55021266
>>55021458
14461 makes it between 290X and 980 on your graph, and it's the most recent test.
How is that below 970 in performance? 970 only scores 13548 on your graph, unless you're somehow blind to that score and instead are just focusing in on the 13141 score from 2 days before.
>>55021504
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/10884635
Barely even better than a 390
>>55021682
oh and this is completely ignoring the graphics score of 18060 which the 970 can't even touch.
>>55016547
Shows you dont pay the bills. It might be cheap for you as mummy & daddy pay for it.

Fatty American kids up at 5am posting on here!.
Keep begging dad for that better gpu anon you can do it!!
So, no R9 490 before september/october ?
I currenly have a 560Ti and wanted to upgrade
480 looks nice but i'm willing to spend 100$ more for a better card
>ITT nobody understands 3dmark
>>>/v/
>tfw all amd fanboy hopes were crushed by one guy who actually bothered to check and compare the 3dmark results
enjoy that $200 390 performance i guess.
>>55021769
>only manages 18464 after a 26% overclock
Let's run the numbers on that.
GPU core is 1050, that particular chip is at 1328.
Main score on the 970 GPUmark page is 15730, that chip manages 18464.
1328/1050 = 126%
18464/15730 = 117%
26% overclock gets you 17% more performance, wow what amazing clock scaling.
>>55021866
Better than pascal thats for sure.
>>55021769
>http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9694504
That card's overclocked, numbnuts
>>55021866
Yeah that is pretty impressive. Maxwell can clock pretty high whilst also scaling well. They really did well with those node optimizations down at nvidia when I came to maxwell.
>>55021858
Actually, that looks like it is $230 390 performance. The results are for the 8gb version. That does kind of leave a question of how much of a degrade in performance will result from only having 4gb of VRAM.
so like when can we expect to be able to order this shit in europe? like amazon and shit
>>55021921
who cares. the retard claimed the 970 "can't even touch" that score, and he was proved wrong. Also that 970 is only factory overclocked. Check the specs for the gigabyte g1 gaming 970. It has no further overclock from the user.
Imagine what a juicy OC you can get from a 480 with good cooling.
>>55014231
>>According to our information,
i wish i could beat the fuck out of people that write this bullshit. no one cares about your rumors regarding garbage graphics cards. get fucked.
>>55021945
It's more like 390x performance and the 8gb will only matter for high resolutions.
>>55021858
The part you are missing it's that it's sub 150W 390 performance.
The 480 is miles more efficient per watt which means there's plenty of room for performance in the architecture. If they make a Polaris that consumes as much energy as a 390 it will have amazing performance.
>>55021974
Oh, sorry, I guess I was wrong.
Here's my revised statement: when the 970 is clocked up to the moon it can barely beat out this unreleased chip with unpolished drivers at a much higher power draw.
Does that make you happy?
>>55022002
The same goes for nvidia.
>fastest single gpu on the planet
>uses 100w less than a 390 in a typical gaming load
>>55022002
Do we know the watts used? We only know the TDP which is 150 watts.
>>55022044
Yeah Nvidia has amazing power consumption, I don't think AMD will ever trump them on that.
The 1070 (and 1080) will be the king of power consumption for a while, the 480 can't touch it there.
However the 480 is only $200, until Nvidia can compete at that price point, AMD will have the best card there.
>>55022046
Yes the AdoredTV guy did some math and it came out to like 95W in Ashes of Singularity.
That's pretty crazy efficiency
>>55022073

>>55022032
>clocked up to the moon
>gigabyte g1 gaming 1178 mhz core and a variable boost of 1329 max
>core is only 128mhz over stock
Lol people can easily achieve 1500 mhz core (see: core) on a 970. That factory overclock is nothing and no where near maxing the card out.
You sound butthurt. Feel free to try again next time though :^)
>>55022073
>>55022081
That's all theoretical, wait for the actual tests.
AMD states the TDP is 150W, I don't think they're going to be fudging the numbers up instead of down.
>>55015313
Who cares, it's better than my 670.
I would take that for 200 bucks.
>>55022093
It's obviously going to be less than 150, probably around 100
>>55022081
Ah, yes. The math he did based upon AMD's claim of 51% efficiency. But we don't know if that efficiency was in regards to multi-gpu scaling, watts, or even fan speed. It only says "51% utilization."
I wouldn't call that an independent, or even reliable, report of watts used.
>>55022062
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1070/25.html
These new cards have the best performance per watt in every resolution. Pretty damn impressive.
>>55022046
It's a single 6pin connector so 150W is the absolute max it can draw without overstressing the PCIE connectors specs.
Realistically it's 100-120W
>>55022097
Why would you say that? The load power draw is always higher than the TDP in actual tests.
>>55022102
>new technology is better than old technology
>impressive
Someone on reddit said they would have around 177k cards ready for release.
Will it be an actual launch this time?
>>55022106
You're still speculating. I'm not calling it an unreasonable speculation but it is still speculation. The previous point still stands. The only thing we know is the 150watt TDP.
>>55022102
Yeah Nvidia has been working on power efficiency in their cards for a while now, they really have that down.
>>55022088
Power draw scaling compared to performance gained on Maxwell is the worst since Fermi. For a 20% clock increase you see a 30-35% power draw increase, and the 970 already draws 180W under gaming load.
>>55022115
Considering how well maxwell was optimized for 28nm with its fantastic power efficiency and performance, it's impressive that they kept a similar level of efficency when dropping down to 16nm. They could have just given us much better performance for the same power draw as maxwell yet they've given us much better performance with a much lower power draw.
>>55015264
I have Sapphire R9 380 and I agree
>>55022073
https://youtu.be/tn4oIa4erVs
>>55022133
Also to be fair, AMD's Fiji architecture in the Fury and Nano is quite impressive power wise, hopefully Polaris will be even better.
