>>55092246
Nobody is expecting it to be a 1070/1080 or even a 908Ti killer. We are being realistic here. But look at the facts. Most gamers game at 1080. 2K is a stopgap. 4K is not mature or affordable enough yet.
The sweet spot for gaming is still 1080 and less than $300 dollar mark. Just because you represent the 0.0005% of elitist faggots does not make you right.

Nvidiots keep spouting crap that the 480 is 150w. If they had put the 1070 there I would have circled that instead. I'm just highlighting the fact that the 480 does not use 150w during gaming like all the shills keep saying.

this is just sad... I buy whatever is the best price/performance, though usually I try to support AMD because Nvidia has a monopoly, this time around I've bought a 1070(going from 280)
Nvidia already discontinued GTX 980 and GTX 970 back in April and GTX 1070 $379 moved the performance bar high up

>>55092814
>...
Nigga please.
I'm running the meme card on my system, AMD drivers are still far behind in Lincuck and I don't have the hardware capable of a GPU passthrough. Any kind of fanaticism is bad, but Nvidia is just a shady company that is pushing development back with their closed source bullshit like Gameworks, gsync, and sneaky practices.
>this time around I've bought a 1070
Why would you do that? Are you on high refresh 1440p? If not, then there's no reason to buy such a card. I mean, it's very tempting, but the performance just isn't there.
I wouldn't mind going for a >best price/performance card, but this is different. Besides, even if the RX480 is in the range of the 970 and 390, it would still be a better value card than the 1070.
>>55092784
The people responsible for Zen (Jim Keller) and Polaris (Raja Koduri) are both ex-Apple employees. AMD supports very closed down systems like Windows (they had a Microsoft guy give a Windows 10 presentation at the Polaris reveal...), while Nvidia has better support for Linux. I don't get why /g/ likes AMD so much besides offering cheap products.
>>55092877
It's going to have 2GB
>>55092894
You're an idiot, they don't gimp old cards they just no longer support them in driver updates.
Which means after a year if compatibility issues come up they won't be fixed in a driver update
Multiple issues will pile up with newer games or older games getting updates but Nvidia won't make changes to the driver to improve performance.
>>55092878
Maybe it will be when overclocked. Yes I know the 1070 will be faster when it is overclocked but the difference is in the cost per fps. If a 480 gets 60 fps and a 1070 gets 65 fps (made up BS numbers just to give an example) when both are OC'd then the cost difference makes the 480 the more worthy choice.
>>55092949
So you're saying they don't gimp them, their support for older cards just isn't fantastic. Buy my 700 series GPU has gotten updates and plays new games just fine, I've never had driver issues.

>AMD supports very closed down systems like Windows (they had a Microsoft guy give a Windows 10 presentation at the Polaris reveal...)
I can't really refute that. AMD just really wants people to pick up DX12 since their cards work well with them. All the driver magic from Nvidia isn't that useful in there.
>while Nvidia has better support for Linux
Also true, but they are very closed about it on an ecosystem where being open source is preferable. Their open source drivers are shit since they won't cooperate with the nouveau devs. They're giving them signed blobs, completely going against the point of nouveau. AMDGPU is still behind, but it's open source. I don't know how the changes from the 4.7 kernel and above will fare, but it's apparently huge and it supports Polaris from the getgo. At least they're trying.
>I don't get why /g/ likes AMD
There are a lot of reasons why. I've already typed some of them. To add, there's GPUopen, the antithesis of Gameworks; freesync; Mantle for Vulkan; etc. I can't say anything concrete about Zen, but I'm really hoping it gives Intel a wakeup call, Broadwell-E is an embarrassment.
>>55093028
Of course the announced one :^)
>>55092973
I'm glad they play just find anon
But something playing just fine is subjective.
Also doesn't prove there isn't a performance degrade at all.
If you wanna btfo /g/
Compare your card to a new series card but with the same specs
For example something along the lines of 760 vs 950?
See how they compare, new and old games.
I remember checking up on the 760 which has a wider memory bus than the 960 and should be within 10%-15% performance yet the 960 was still crushing in benchmarks for some reason.
>>55093037
Because it's a lie
>my meme card is almost two years old
>AMD fans now getting excited over a card that's only a little faster than that
I guess what they say about poor NEETs on this board is true
>>55093079

>>55092894
because it´s literally a meme
the reason people throw it around is because there are no active improvements like in newer cards for new games
>>55093079
But cards from different generations don't have the exact same specs unless it's just a rebrand.

>>55093466
But the "shitty" part in "shitty drivers" is completely orthogonal to the benchmarked performance.
Do you just regurgitate memes all fucking day?
>>55091913
I already talked to my local pc part shop to give me a call when they get it.
Also cant wait for zen its about a time for an upgrade
>>55091969
Unless you're using a lot of texture mods or something, 4GB is enough.
>>55092723
The only reason high end matters much is because retards look at who has the fastest card, and then assume that brand is better across the board. Just look at last gen, where AMD sales sucked despite being either equal or better in every price point except the super high-end stuff because the fury x was garbage.
>>55093627
I'm sorry, I find it hard to take you seriously enough to respond with non meme answers when you think taking several years to get the performance you should get at launch is a feature.
>>55093813

>>55092246
>nvidiot in denial cannot accept that AMD is going to dominate the middle to low end GPU market i.e majority of the market and pulls desperate excuses out his ass
>>55093882
What makes you think that? Yeah, they'll put out cards that have better performance to price than anything nVidia has to offer, but it's been that way for years, and they still can't get their market share to go up. Why would you think that will change now?
>>55093984
This guy has the sad truth of AMD
Price to performance isn't enough anymore you need a massive marketing dpartment
>>55093984
AMD hasn't had this opportunity in ages. The 7000 series was great, but so was Kepler and since Nvidia had upped their marketting, they still couldn't catch up. Nvidia released the 750Ti and pretty much dominated the low tier market with that one card. People also bought the 960 later despite the 380 being a better choice. Now they don't have a choice. Polaris is free of competition until Nvidia decides to throw their 1060 out and by the looks of it, it isn't anytime soon considering the shit stock of the current Pascal GPUs.
>>55093882
It would be nice if AMD just stuck to the low-mid and NVidia just stuck to the mid-high tier. NVidia makes most of their money from other places now anyways so it wouldn't be a massive loss to let AMD take the lower end
>>55094061
>people also bought the 960 later despite the 380 being a better choice
And this is what is going to happen with the 1060.
Atleast AMD got a head start on the release of their card.
>>55092784
>mfw just realizing Nvidia is the Apple of GPUs
But Apple uses AMD GPUs. That's 2deep4me
>>55094140
You think the average Apple user even knows about GPUs?
>>55094099
isn't it always like that?
Nvidia high tier card always the best at being less than 15% higher performance than AMD card while being 30% pricier?
Apple did this with phone market, I don't see anything wrong with that
>>55094161
>This
I have had to explain what a GPU is to many younger Apple fanboys who just assumed computers were like fucking magic
>>55094061
>Polaris is free of competition
nVidia will slash prices on the 900 series sooner or later. Lowering the prices on those cards has been long overdue anyways. Even if they don't, how long do you really think it's going to take for the 1060 to come out? Even if it takes another three months, AMD won't just magically take all of the <300$ GPU market share from nVidia.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see nVidia actually get some real competition sometime, but I don't think that releasing a single card is going to make a considerable amount of people switch over.
>>55093878
>buy AMD
>slightly slower at launch

Protip: it's not the one that ends up being comparatively shit after a couple years.
>>55094139
>And this is what is going to happen with the 1060.
AMD is going to have a huge headstart in a season where some even upgrade for Summer, at least from what Ive experienced with others the last 3 years. Given the availability and pricing of Nvidia, I doubt they would release the 1060 anytime soon, much less at the $200 price range. I don't recall their product release dates, isn't the Titan replacement due this year? The 960 came a little later with the last generation.
>>55094168
They try to fight too much in the middle and it just kills AMD. I myself prefer NVidia, but I will admit that AMD has some very respectable offerings. I just have plenty of disposable income so I go for the performance
>>55094210
>nVidia will slash prices
>>55094210
Prices don't drop that easily. Look at Kepler prices today, they're not that down.
Also, you seem to forget how tempting a $150 card that can run 1080p sounds. Any newcomer that doesn't want to break bank would be looking at that card. If I wanted to make a decent build for 1080p, I would definitely be looking at the RX470 and not the RX480.
>>55094210
they'd have to drop them to sub-200 across the board which is not going to happen.
>>55094231
>They try to fight too much in the middle and it just kills AMD
Actually Nvidia Middle to low tier card got really bad offering compare to AMD one.
High tier card is much more debatable because its all about benchies instead of price.
>Friend ask me to build him a cyber cafe
>AMD $70 GPU is 2GB ddr5 128 bit while the Nvidia counter part is over $90
Is not really that much a problem if you build a single PC, but the budget start hitting you when you build for 60 units at the same time.
>buying cheap shit
>not gettimg the best card available
>>55094304
Some of us want to make a sound investment instead of just blowing a huge wad on a card that'll become deprecated just as quickly.
>>55094251
I'm team green (for reasons beyond performance) but if someone came to me for a 1080p build i'd point them at the RX480, it's just worth it for that money.
>>55094304
>Best available card that literally will got replaced by another new cards in less than three months.
>>55094326
how would a much stronger card be deprecated just as quickly?
>>55094210
>nVidia will slash prices on the 900 series sooner or later.
Anon, why would the prices drop when the stock isn't going up? The 750Ti hasn't dropped in price and it was a very popular card, there's no chance Maxwell is dropping in price. I'd love for the 980 so stay at the $500 price range forever as a reminder to never buy a *80 series card.
>>55091913
Definitely upgrading from my 970.
>>55094326
>sound investment
>Fucking graphics cards
You're a moron if you think hardware is a good investment.
>>55094213
No, if it becomes 2x as powerful, then it is half as powerful as it should be at launch. That's not slightly slower.
>>55094341
>>55094348
because it isn't that much stronger (15-25% on average) for how much more expensive it is (30-40% more on average)
>>55094358
You're conflating current performance with past performance when they're completely separate things. Performance in the past doesn't magically go down because performance today is better.
>>55094348
>You're a moron if you think hardware is a good investment.
I don't know about people in /g/, but I haven't changed my Sandy for 5 years now.
Before this it was 8800GT for four and half years that still run quite well in all its years.
That sounds like a good investment compare to blow your money on new hardware once a year.
Will a 480 be enough for 1440p gaming
>>55094329
>team anything
You sound like a grounded person. Why would you ever support a company like Nvidia? The only thing I like about them is that I can run Linux with their drivers and still play on emulators and a few gaymes. Even then, I hate how uncooperative they are with the open source community. Nouveau just lost its purpose.
Also, yes, the RX480 would still be a great choice.

>>55094509
>I used a 3570k for years.
I'm still on a 3570k. I'm not upgrading until there's an 8 core that makes sense. Fuck paying $1000 for that. I'd rather wait for Zen to hit and pay $600 for their 8 core.
I've lost most of my faith in AMD, but I believe in Keller. He wouldn't leave a pile of shit on his name that easily. Even if it's slightly above Sandy performance, I would still buy it. Intel needs to wake the fuck up. The Broadwell-E series is absolutely disgusting.
>>55094509
>Im just surprised people are still putting their faith in AMD after being let down so many times before.

>>55094404
Their engineering principals really. They focus on power with efficiency and reliability and it follows through in their pricing. Whereas AMD focus on making the process as cheap as possible and this comes with an ecological price all the way from the factory to the end user (ofc no one really cares about that).
I like to think of it in Watts per performance. If all gamers, however many millions, switched from Nvidia to AMD today that would be 100s of millions more watts that had to be used, although at the moment with the die shrink it's pretty level however mark my words as the dies increase in size the difference will get more drastic.
>>55094623
>They focus on power with efficiency and reliability and it follows through in their pricing.
This is just a recent thing. Fermi wasn't even that long ago and it was an absolute disaster in that regard. Also, It's not even that big of a difference in wattage. Hawaii consumes a lot of power and so does cut down Fiji, but the others are fine.
>>55094623
>Their engineering principals really
Moving away from the principals behind it (really its Nvidia moving stuff from hardware to software as its cheaper for them) you have to ask why the fuck can't Nvidia actually build a chip as dense as AMD does? If fat kepler actually could be as dense as hawaii we'd be looking at entire tiers of performance higher. Off the top of my head the fury x is basically the densest chip ever made (for raw transistor count it has everything else beat at 28nm). Christ if you simply kept the die size of the fury x and scaled 14nm to it (i.e moar of everything) you'd already have a 1080 killer.

That is still unrelated to why their chips are so fucking huge vs AMD's. Especially given AMD historically packs in extra hardware to cover their software woes. If Nvidia has the engineering lead (thats hypothetical fyi) then why aren't they shrinking their shit down?
For what its worth AMD's engineering is typically "superior" to Nvidia in so much that they can pack more into a smaller space (which is still extremely important for microchips) but the issue is more complex than merely X billion of transistors = better.
>>55094855
Oh, I missread your post. Yeah, I understand, AMD's chips are denser overall especially Fiji. I have no idea, I don't know shit about chip architecture.
>>55094855

GP100 is purely for compute applications. You simply cannot run games on it, this has already been mentioned further up the thread.
>>55092133
Nope.

>>55095130
Man you guys are straight up fucking dope head idiots.
GP100 will not be in people's hands, there will be a separate GP102 specifically for the enthusiast game market.
The 1080 and 1070 still have the same 1/32 FP64 rate. They are not derived from the GP100's design.
>>55095164
Tesla P100 = GP100
>>55095191
Jesus Christ you are retarded motherfucker, Geforce cards are cutdown chipsets that don't make the cut to be used as workstation cards, in Pascal case the full Pascal chipset needs to have 56SM fully functioning to be considered a working chipset, anything below that gets cutdown and used for Geforce cards.
Nvidia has been doing this since Fermi.

GP100 DOES NOT HAVE ROPs. IT CANNOT PUSH PIXELS TO A DISPLAY. IT IS FOR COMPUTE ONLY.
GP104 IS NOT, IS NOT, IS NOT, THE SAME DESIGN.

I was just exaggerating of course but unless they have a 1060ti up their sleeve the 1060 will not be 200$ and if it ends up being half a 1080 it may not be much better than the RX480 either.
People would buy it anyway because it's an nvidia card.

Not that they wouldn't sell at all. That's a retarded notion. However, they would not sell WELL _and_ give the competition a secure position in the market.
Why do I have to explain simple market concepts to you?
Oh, and Nvidia isn't Apple.
>>55092110
>The dual GPU cards not being at the very hot top
>>55095812
What about the 960? It is priced to match its performance in the market. Unless you are comparing it to a card that hasn't even been independently reviewed let alone launched yet?
>>55092758
>He thinks sub 1000$ cards are expensive

>>55095924
It's a inferior card to its competitor in every metric.
>>55095953
Is it priced $50 above its competitor?
Did you jump into the middle of a discussion without bothering to understand the topic of the discussion like the typical AMDrone?
>>55095879
wont that be too close to the 1070?
>>55091913

I got damn lucky. Was stupid enough to buy R9 Nano, but got it rma'd due to coil whine. Getting 1070 next week.
>>55095924
GTX 960 costs $170-$200 and performs between the below cards.
R9 280 averages $200-220
R9 270x averages $160-190
And compared to the R7 300 series
R7 370 averages $150-$190
It's priced relatively competitively for its competition. I know used cards aren't really comparable, but I got a GTX 960 from a desperate guy for $50.

Why is the AMD crying
>>55092086
That support it. And also if nvidia and amd don't find a way to block it and make people believe there's a good reason for it.
>>55095067
Probably because amd doesn't know how optimisation works. Nvidia is like apple, they have a name, and they make sure they get everything out of their GPUs, while AMD is like Samsung, they make better hardware but can't (or maybe not at first) use it to its max, which is enough to get the first wave of customers looking to buy a new GPU to buy their products. As time goes by AMD GPUs start to show their true potential, but by then nvidia is already on top.

excluding mods and shitty console ports, probably.
OTOH, paying 15% more for safety is probably smart if you intend to use this card for more than say 2 years.

good God this stupidity.
they just quit ordering dies from TSMC when a new chip is ready.

>The GP100 chips are not game oriented graphics processors
true

>or texture address units.
false. there are 240 (enabled out of 256 total?)
I just noticed many of the €799 1080s are dropping €10 to €789. Either retailers made a mistake with the initial pricing or demand is pretty low and they are starting to adjust to see if demand improves.
>>55095908
>It wouldn't sell at all
Stick to your vacuum economic models bud, because that is just flat out wrong. Consumers recognise brands, not quality. Why do think a more expensive 3.5gb gimped card is the single most popular card on the market?
>>55095797
>>55095354
So since fury is still really gud is there any chance I can get that to avoid paying the 1070 price?
>>55096312
Skill is borked for everyone, so everyone is equally at a disadvantage.
There's always false positive bans on any online game system that bans people and always hackers on any online game. If this is your criticism, then don't play online mode.
>>55092798
AMDGPU PRO - is perfect open-source drivers, nvidiots simply sucks.

Wait a few weeks for non reference cards. You'll get your $350 MSRP. 1080 aftermarket cooler cards are already out from a few brands, ahead of schedule because AMD made a good announcement.
>>55094300
specs? budget? total cost? im curious
>>55091969
Probably, but its only $30 to double the VRAM so it seems like a no-brainer unless you're on a really tight budget.
>>55096417
Yeah there's always false positives, sure, but not nearly in the quantities the likes of dark souls 3. FROM has always been bad at programming, they just know how to make a good functioning game and a tragic engrossing story.
I don't even care about poise, I never saw a need for it. Just no sense in saying something does something it doesn't, which is misleading to people who know none the better.
>>55096312
>broken poise (maybe it's a feature at this point in which the stats are misleading)
It is working as intended.
FROM has already told everyone complaining about poise that they're doing it wrong and need to git gud.

The Nvidia one? GT 740. I told him to get R7 240 2GB DDR5 instead.
Can't recommend him the 730 because the spec is complete shit and won't hold for at least 4 years.
I forgot the total cost of each unit, but I remember I was recommending him an i3 Haswell.

I could just wait for Vega though and get that to have some insane performance.
How good is Fury for gaymen? Upgrading from a 290 and with just and extra 50 I could get a 1070. Really need to upgrade the whole setup though hopefully with Zen and mini ITX.
>>55096557
True this. Right now at altenate 980ti at €464.I have seem one at €350 second hand market. This kind of movements do not happen on a mere rumor. The benchmarks must be on point methinks.
>>55096604
wut you should recommending apu, so much better for Internet cafe. or some r7 360 it cost like <$100 less right now.
>>55096643
I wager the new furry is only going to "compete" with the 1080 at absolute best. That card isn't coming until 2017. By then Nvidia will be in the works with the next Titan for release and not long there after a 1080ti.
If I were you I would just stick with your 290. I doubt there's anything you play now or will play in the next 6 months that requires more for 1080p 60fps. If for some reason you feel compelled to buy something then buy a 1070 once non reference cards release.

heaven benchmarks gimp where the 780ti got outside margin of error worse.
call it incompetence if you want, they let it go for a month before the shitstorm hit critical mass and they "fixed" it, but by then, some people upgraded.
then look at game works, pushing 64x tessellation, nvidia's newest can do that no sweat, but their older cards suffer, and amd's cards suffer just a bit more. to the point that during some time frames the 960 was out doing a 780ti...
fact is old cards get stunted growth, and nvidia stops optimizing them then they start pushing new features into games that run like hell on old hardware, but just a bit worse on amd, you will see it with new global illumination and i think they have a new AO

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 980, 970 are now cheaper
In the last 24 hours the prices of many GTX 900 cards has dropped by almost 20%. According to the information provided by HWI, GeForce GTX 900 series receive the following price cuts:

I don't see any issues with this. Get the stock off shelves as its not being made anymore. Anything not sold would get sent back to manufacturers and used for RMAs possibly.

Same price as the 380. This makes it a bad purchase.

>>55097813
Nigga Nvidia doesn't even have enough wafers to produce GP104 in notable quantities, what the fuck are they gonna do with a second GPU? Thin out the stock even more?
The RX480 is a godsend for ITXfags like me. The TDP is low and the enclosure looks to be fairly short - it might actually be a GPU that won't make a metis explode.
>>55097791
