>>55035001
It's only running at 1080mhz in the pic but it should run at 1266mhz when it launches. Boost clock was probably disabled with the early drivers.

>>55035027
Assuming perfect clock scaling (which would be crazy) 1266mhz puts it at over a Fury levels of performance.
Even with bad clock scaling, just 10% performance for the 17% overclock to 1266mhz from 1080mhz puts it at Fury levels of performance.
So all the rumors were true, this is basically a Fury for 200$.
Nvidia's fucking done, NOTHING they have or will come up with can compete at that price to performance. Cut down 1080 dies would eat their margins alive, taping out new chips would take at least 3-4 months.

If you overclock a 100 mhz card to 101 mhz it will technically get a 1% perfirmance increase, ipc is not some magic value that relates to overclocking

AMD has dynamic clocking similar to Nvidia but it isn't nearly as aggressive and can be disabled through drivers.
>>55034693
So, we have two sources posting the same thing. That's pretty nice. I mean, I'm not buying it, but I'm sure recommending it to my brother. If only AMD had good Linux drivers, then I'd switch in a heartbeat.

I wonder just how much coil whine this piece of shit will have
AMD cards whine almost as much as their fanboys
I'm going to upgrade from my r9 290 reference to an Rx 480 just to get away from this hot loud mess. Aftermarket coolers for the r9 290 were like $100 anyway.
>>55034693
>>55035282

>>55035266
>what is AMDGPU
I bet you're still on a 3.x kernel
>>55035257
AMD cards can dynamically reduce clock to hit a power target, but the max clock is fixed value. That would be 1266MHz on the 480.
>>55035266
>linux user

why does this keep happening? :^(
>>55035282
show me an amd card that as more coil whine than a 970 top kek nvidiot
>>55035305
Nah, I'm on 4.5.5. AMDGPU is nice, but I don't know how it fares with things like the Dolphin emulator and whatnot. Phoronix released a recent comparison with AMDGPU Pro and Nvidia drivers the other day showing how much work AMD still needs to do.
>>55035334
Most Feral games still don't work with AMDGPU, neither with Mesa, nor with the proprietary AMDGPU-PRO blob.
XCOM 2 just crashes silently with both AMDGPU drivers. The new F1 2016 port is Nvidia only.
Civ V and Civ BE however work very well with AMDGPU
>>55035187
that really isn't impressive considering its nearly a 200mhz overclock. maybe it can overclock to the moon though. you never know.
>>55035334
that's because that big patch that ties the AMDGPU kernel stuff to the userspace isn't in yet.
>its a supreme price/performance but useless if you want to upgrade episode
Why cant AMD pull the finger out and have the 490 out on time?
Im stuck with my 980ti for now.
>>55035187
or maybe the cpu is slower
>>55035359
AMD waits until more have bought the Nvidia 1080 so we can drink more Nvidia tears later when the 490 destroys it
>>55034693
>1070 is 90% more expensive but only 30% faster

>>55035354
Right, is it that huge pile of code of tens of thousands of lines? I remember reading something along those lines, something about Linux developers rejecting it since it was too lengthly.

>>55035826
480 does not draw 150W.
It only has a single 6 pin so 150W is the maximum peak power it can draw. Actual power draw while gaming will be significantly lower.

Well, that's because they are defective 1080 dies, of course there will be more of them but they've still been hard to come by despite being "released" yesterday. Not to mention they probably don't have the GDDR5x to throw on the 1080 cards.

no miners. they've moved on.
So, I doubt that there will supply chain constriction which tends to keep retailers in line. because, supply/demand/competition.
unless it's a yuge success. Like game changing. But either if that's the case AMD/global foundries would be more able to review inventories than like it was with the miners, who were buying like 20 -up to - 100 cards a pop.

It probably can through pcie if you buy the Asus model.
>>55036062
Card model could be the same with different VRAM configurations that arent exposed externally to the program.
>>55036061
the GTX 1080 is the one that hits 320+ watts under certain conditions. It can only maintain that for miliseconds, and it's only done when there *would* have been massive frame drops. Basically Nvidia drivers work in such a way that send massive power and massive clocks to the necessary parts of the GPU to ensure that the game runs as smooth as possible.
That's how they achieved such smooth frame-times with the 1080/1070. Because the back end is being thrown the fuck around to compensate.

Dude AMD could come out with a Vega chip with GDDR5X and it would make almost no difference and save them tons of dollarydoos.
AMD is just trying to get their invention to be put into their graphics cards for funzies. If they cared about getting their cards out faster and about making money they would release a vega in like 2 months with GDDR5X and then later a HBM model and market it towards 4K gamers

There are a few rare games that are super ram hungry at higher settings these days so I'd just go for 8gb for a bit of insurance myself still most of the time 4gb is fine.

>>55036287
It seems likely seeing the 50c max temps of the card. That is so ridiculously cool it's crazy. I think they are going to release this card purposely slower than it could go (easily fury levels) just so it has a much lower TDP under 100w and that absolutely insane 50c temp.
(these things are going into imacs and macbooks, new xboxes and ps4's).
It will probably be the single most used GPU chip ever. mark my words
>>55036299

>>55036145
depends what day you ask. amdrones yesterday were claiming 8gb is the standard due to the bottlenecks 4gb cards were getting in mirrors edge. today they'll probably say the same but tomorrow they'll go back to saying 4gb is fine to take everyone's mind of the stupidly priced $250 8gb 480.

My friend still runs games fine on low settings with his hd5870.
You can't expect to go higher on any modern game with only 1GB.

this is a pretty obvious fake, the Rx 480 doesn't even have support for third party DVI connectors.

Thats because its the 490
If you're buying would you get the reference or wait for the aftermarket coolers? The Reference does look nice.
i like cute cards. will there be a cute version of the rx 480?
the r9 nano has a cute white version that i wish i would have gotten
saphire leaked what their rx 480 is and it's not cute at all. it's an uggo cheese grater, not cute!
>>55036495
he literally says it in the video, retard.
what's that? can't accept your space heater being beaten in a fair test? poor you.
So, all the shilling and shitflinging Nvidia vs. AMD aside, how fucked non-Americas are for the price? I know that 1070/1080 are overpriced here as fuck. What about the 480/480X?
Will they be priced reasonable or do I just buy a fucking psp go and forget about ever owning a PC?
Also, any chances that CF 480 will do anyone any good except reduces the heating bill in the winter?

Whats wrong with it?
>>55036561
forgot picture. this is cute, amd and nvidia should pay attention.
Should I sell my 290 on eBay and buy a 480 when it drops or is that stupid?
>>55036220
t. blowing shit out my ass
>>55036534
I'm not an AMD shill, I'm not going to defend a shitty card like the Furry.
still, the 970 was absolutely destroyed and trying to find a different "angle" to make Nvidia look better is stupid as fuck, and only makes you look more like a fucking shill.
>>55036548
lol they've been saying amd is going to rule the fucking world for years now. it's even got to a point where you get youtube shills like adored tv saying it on a bigger scale. its funny because in that time amd have lost market share. they're hyping this release like they hyped all the others and we all know its not going to change anything.

Wew
Though if that's not some fixed chink shit, it'll be exciting to watch how Nvidia react
>>55036595
Problem with the hype is that even if the product is good, they overhype it so people get disappointed.
Fx8350 and 6300 were good, they were just overhyped by energetic idiots and shilled to the wrong crowd.
>>55035567
$40, it's fun.
>>55036619
well, we sort-of know that the rx 480 is a good deal, and we DEFINITELY know that the gtx 1070 and 1080 are crazy expensive and built for niche resolutions.
99% of gamers aim for 1080p 60fps. rx 480 is shaping up to be the perfect card for that at a good price with pretty good power usage.
>>55036620

>>55036564
CF is a touchy subject. DX11 CF will give micro stutter. I have 2 AMD cards but I can't see any stuttering. Apparently it's there but I dont notice it. If you're going to be playing DX12/Vulkan games they will support SFR(Split Frame Rendering) This eliminates screen stuttering. But like I said DX12/Vulkan which will only be a hand full of games for now.
>>55036639
Why?
I've been on 1440 for years now.
And we should be at decent 4K in a couple more years
>>55036575
absolutely nothing is wrong with it.
>>55036661
>I've been on 1440 for years now.
You're among a tiny minority of people that use resolutions that high. 4K is coming but until prices fall significantly it's going to be "years" before it is mainstream.
>>55036657
Thanks. Any input on the first half of my post?
I think my motherboard can do 3-way CF - would that be overkill? I generally think getting the 480x once it is out and Sapphire will start making them, but that is what - months away still?
>>55036642
Exceptional multithread performance, mediocre single thread performance. Solid overclocker.
Yes, good for certain applications and mediocre for others.
Nothing could beat the value offered by fx 6 core and 8 core chips up till haswell.
>mfw this thread
>mfw my sides
All's I know is I'm probably going to replace my r9 280 once people get their hands on it and really test it.
What should I sell my 280 for? I might give it to my brother as a small upgrade.
>>55036534
970 confirmed for engineering marvel, matching a fury x in performance while being cheaper.
>amd will defend this :^)
>>55036661
because most gamers don't want to blow over $450+ on a graphics card? and then buy a new monitor? most of the games that people play are just console ports. the idea of blowing hundreds and hundreds of dollars every year so you can play console ports at a luxury resolution is offputting to post people. 1080p 60fps is the standard on pc for a reason.
>>55036588
so were all amd cards with 4gb or lower vram. whats your point?
the fact you're saying things like "absolutely destroyed" shows how retarded you are. it would be "absolutely destroyed" if it was consistently at 15 fps through all settings during testing. this is much worse for amd than it is for nvidia. nvidia can claim they've released the 970's successor with enough vram so the option is there for anyone to upgrade if they want to play at these settings. amd have no replacement for the fury x for another year so people with fury x's have to either buy a 1070 which is more powerful than the fury x or downgrade to any 300 series 8gb card. it won't go down well with fans when they realize they have to downgrade to actually play these vram hog games at the maximum setting.
that is unless you follow my simple argument of not being a little bitch and turning down the settings by one notch, but of course to you amd fangirls, as i've seen today, turning down the settings to ultra should be punishable by death.
>>55036699

>>55036723
meme. to play the latest games on the highest settings you're going to need to upgrade your gpu every year or at least every other year.
>>55036723
Not him but if you bought a 980 early last year before the 980 ti release you'd be feeling pretty cucked right now. The point is shit moves fast on PC. Sure it looks better, but that premium you pay for also comes with the potential for shorter lifespan than the console.
>>55036744
I bought it two years ago, would have been three if Nvidia hadn't pushed them back.
Good graphics cards last atleast five years and most often more. Consoles apparently only last a little under 3 now.
>>55036740
Thank you!
>>55036688
There is a high chance your 3rd slot wont be as fast as the first 2. I have a MSI board top slot is PCIe-16 Second is PCIe-8 and the Third is PCIe-4 which is not worth is. Also When you add more cards you kind of lose more in the power to dollar value. I would say stick to 2 cards for these reasons. As I said I currently have a CF setup and I think I will get 2 480s because so for I had no problems but I will buy one card now and another one later. ALSO...DX11 if you have 2 4GB cards you get a total of 4GB. DX12 if you have 2 4GB cards you get 8GB vram. AMD is supporting CF as Nvidia seems to be killing SLi.

>>55036731
Before anyone falls for the rx480 cf meme, I have to say. You're paying roughly the same, using less power, putting out more heat, and still performing worse in most games.

This the motherboard I own. Just in case.
Would you advise getting a 480X 8GB instead of two 480?
>>55036774
>Good graphics cards last atleast five years and most often more
Not without significant compromises in quality. AMD's 7000 series has offered unprecedented longevity if you bought a high end card early on, mainly because they are benefiting from GCN updates still, and those came out in early 2012. That's pretty rare though.
In my experience most graphics cards die after 2-3 years of heavy use anyway.

people who play video games.
if your frame rate is lower than your monitor refresh rate, you've failed.
>>55036857
according to steam hardware survey, only like 3-4% of gamers use resolutions higher than 1080p
your market is niche and expensive and dumb, get over it.
>>55036857
it's the standard, and will be until 4k displays drop down to $150

980 is a last generation card. Get with the now.
>>55036949
What else do we have to go by?
>>55036841
That board would definitely support CF and even 3way CF. Are you thinking of getting the 4GB RX480? The 8GB version is about $30 more(USD) I strongly suggest the 8GB for $30 more. If your budge it tight ditch the CD-Rom or something.
>>55036472
I say house you say fire.

Massively diminishing returns with GPUs more powerful than 980s for most normal people. Unless you have an exotic monitor setup, the 480 is kind of a big deal.

>>55036949
it's accurate enough to know that 1080p has been king for years and will continue to be king for years
>>55036924
It's not dumb.
i've got 4k tv's and would hate to downgrade them. But my comp displays are still 1080p, I just can't afford the upgrade now.
If you have the spare money for it -- and the minimum required hardware -- go for it. You won't regret. But it is still quite expensive to go that route.
