>GTA V ~60 FPS
>Overwatch ~100 FPS
All on Ultra without OC and not yet using the newest driver.
Get hype!
>>55229848
>one (you) has been deposited into your account
>purportedly
If the rumors are true and OC can give you a 25% performance increase, then that would confirm the post that said an OCed RX 480 would be 90% the performance of a 1070
I'm so hyped
>>55229848
>1080p benchmarks
It's literally nothing,
Get with the time grandpa.
>It's ANOTHER RX480 shill thread
Oh wow GTX970 performance TWO years after the GTX970 was released, way to go, really FOR
REAL.
>>55230593
Those are 1440p my nigga
>>55229848
im just waiting for the 2gb rx460
but i want to know why the fuck the low end cards of polaris dont have fancy covers over them
they look like stock dell optiplex gpu's
>>55230613
The 970 only gets 90 frames in Overwatch. The average in the video was about 107, which is closer to the 980
>>55230644
Wrong.
All videos linked in the article are at 1080p, specs as labeled in the video descriptions.
>>55230672
You don't seriously have a 970 on stock, r-right?
>>55229848
>1080p
not impressed desu
another flopdozer incoming for AYYMD
>>55230701
You gotta compare it to the 480 in the video which is reference and not OCed
>>55230593
$200 is a 1080p range.
>>55230667
cause the chip is low wattage enough that adding a better cooling package isn't needed and would tack $10-20 onto the price which isn't how to ravage nvidia
>>55230672
I'm getting 110+ on Epic, what the fuck are you doing?
>>55230805
see >>55230716
benchmarks with a stock 970 say 90 frames
Apparently a 480 was benched in Overwatch at 4K with max settings and still pulled 60fps solid.
I'm sure that is going to sell a ton of cards alone.
>>55230890
Yeah, the 4k marketshare is HUGE.
>>55230805
at 1440p on medium-high I get about 80-110, average 90, depending on the map. idk wtf he's doing,
>>55230861
Why compare it to a stock 970 when non-reference 970s are available on the market for everyone to buy?
That's retarded, especially since 970s overclock amazingly well.
Just compare with what's available.
>>55230593
>It's literally nothing,
Funny how you say that, since the only place where AMD cards really hold their own against Nvidia ones are 4k res.
>>55230890
Bullshit because that puts it above the GTX 1080.
>>55230947
Not him, but you're retarded.
Reference gets compared to reference.
why is overwatch the new benchmark
i dont like this meme
>>55231034
Because it works on a toaster
Because it's popular
Because it's new
>>55231034
Better than CSGO
Any news about 490X or FURY X version?
>>55231034
Its the most popular new game out, plus I'm sure Blizzard has a hand in promoting it with reviewers. The game made nearly $300,000,000 in micro transactions last month. When companies get a cash cow like that they make sure they milk it well.
>>55231015
No, the 1080 will pull 68fps average.
At 4K in Overwatch on Epic settings the 1080 isn't very far ahead of the 980 ti.
they're testing it on 6400. which is kinda weak due to low base clock (2.7Ghz)
Anyone else find it odd that the rx480 has a rectangular chip? Almost like it's a cut down version of a larger chip. Could just be meant to be that way, though.
so some stupid faggot is posting benchmarks without release drivers and everyone is going to apeshit now.
>>55231335
Binned dies are not physically cut, genius. Memory pads and CU are lasered off so they're not active circuits, but the die still remains whole.
>>55231390
Well that's my new bit of knowledge for the day. Thanks.
>hyped about radeon
So it really is just 390 performance
>>55231293
>Overwatch
This game should not be used for benchmarks. It's a fucking clown fiesta performance wise.
Also every blizzard game uses CPU power way more than GPU.
>>55233170

Then again, my Nvidia card does get good drivers...

>>55229848
>Doom ~100 FPS
But I only want 30 - 40 fps
I can't play games with 100 fps because everything is so fucking fast.
I still want the card.
Poor AMD
they release a good card and like 3days before the UK causes a global economy collapse so no-one has the money to buy things like graphics cards
>>55233948
>implying anyone at AMD or in the world cares about the UK
>people thought this would be AMD's 8800GT
What's the life expectancy of the 480? The 1070?
>>55229848
>the card performs similarly to the Radeon R9 Fury and GTX 980
That's all we need to know. Sounds good to me. Now can we stop these endless threads about the 480.
I should just buy this right
no reason to get a 1070 for 1920x1200 vidya?
>>55234180
Yeah 1070 is overkill for 1080p right now.
In the future though games may use it.
480 should have way better price performance if it actually sells for $200.
But if the launch is anything like the 1070 and 1080, you won't even be able to buy it without at least a $200 markup.
>>55229848
>at 720p
KEK
>>55229848
Let me guess, all on 1080p?
>>55229848
So, judging from this, will it be a good enough improvement over the 280x to warrant an upgrade?
>>55234237
it's basically a 390x for $200 at half the power draw, so just sell your 280x afterwards, but the 280x is more than capable for 1080p gaming
>>55234177
Lol which is it, does it perform similarly to a 980 or to a fury?
>>55233948
they actually did it, the absolute madmen!
>>55234271
Well, my brother is building his first PC, so I was planning on just giving him the 280x once I upgrade to which ever card I choose. And also, will the 480 be good enough for 1080p 144hz? Cause I'm also thinking of upgrading to a FreeSync monitor.
>>55234300
Both
>>55234339
just look at 390x benchmarks lol, basically get a medium-high settings anyways
what's your CPU? 144hz gaming can hit CPU bottlenecks in some games
also AOC makes a $209 free-sync display that's pretty good
>>55234300
Uh both
>>55234354
My processor is a i5 4440.
>>55234339
>will the 480 be good enough for 1080p 144hz
No, even a 1080 struggles with that.
>>55233948
>this is what globalists actually believe
>>55234361
You might hit some bottlenecks in AAA games
>>55234363
playing on ultra isn't going to be worth it, especially when you have to pay the nvidia tax for a G-sync display
like in battlefield 4 you can hit 144fps average by going to medium
>>55234383
Well the global markets are currently crashing so I mean what more do you want
>>55234089
>implying it isnt
>>55234386
>medium
>>55234391
Once the global elite, Islam appeasers/apologists, and doomsayers get their panties unknotted we'll all be better off.
>>55234355
Those statements are mutualy exclusive, an r9 fury does not perform the same as a 980
>>55234408
Actually it does
>>55234386
Well, I was thinking I'd upgrade the video card now, then maybe upgrade my mobo and processor at the end of the year.
>>55234229
>>55234209
So we know it isn't a processor bottleneck. Nice.
>>55234407
That'se nice but china is the enemy, not muzzies.
Muzzies didn't kill our steel industry
>>55234412
Just buy the little nigger an RX 460 and save up for vega, it'll be a way bigger upgrade
>>55234386
Yeah you could turn down the graphics to get close.
But according to that you need at least a 980 Ti to even get to 144fps.
And that's just Battlefield 4, there are games that are way more taxing than that.
>>55234393
Graphics have never mattered, frame rate is all that's important
>tfw still using a fx 6350
should i just get a 8350 for $170 or wait for Zen? I don't really want to drop ~$500 to switch to intel
>>55234420
did you mean minimum fps? because that's what free-sync is for
otherwise the multiplayer games are going to be where 144hz helps the most
>>55234429
Just wait for zen, you should have bought an 8 core from the start, you wouldn't gain any performance in most games
>>55234422
>Graphics have never mattered
>>55234410
Actualy it doesn't, the fury is stronger
>Graphics have never mattered,
Only to call of duty plebs.
I want framerates and graphics
>>55234440
This is one of the greatest video games ever made
>>55234444
>the fury is stronger
Not true, the 980 beats it in some games
>>55234449
>>>/autism/
>>55234392
it's not, amd aren't pathetic enough to rebrand a card as much as nvidia did with the 8800
>>55234459
Have you ever thought about not shitposting?
Where are the benchmarks?
>>55234471
june 29th
>>55234471
We have to wait until the 29th
>>55234450
True but the graph I posted is averaged over many games, it gives a more accurate picture
>>55230613
GTX970 performance for the cost of a GTX960 RIGHT NOW.
And this isn't even a flagship card.
>>55234626
It's much better than a 970, more like a 980

>>55234710
my 760 died recently, I RMA'd it, I hope they give me my money back so I can buy a rx 480 instead
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN
>>55234665
That's the thing.
I was seriously tossing up buying a GTX960 or 970 because the price difference is basically the performance difference and I don't play new games so getting the 960 would probably be enough for me.
But then the RX480 comes in at the same price as the 960 but at least as good as the 970. What the fuck is this shit?
>>55234742
it's faster than the 970 man, even the 380 was faster than the 960
Should I wait for Zen to upgrade my CPU or stick to Intel?
>>55229848
>tfw building a new Zen + Polaris system with a new case and quiet noiseblocker fans, getting a dac and amp for my HD600s and getting a new dell ultrasharp monitor at the end of the year

>>55233358
i dont get it why can amd fags never give up 3.5

>>55234449
I prefer Angband and its variants myself.
>all my favorite games can be played on pre-Geforce era graphics cards
>>55234742
>at least as good as the 970
Yeah it's way better than the 970.
The 480 should have the best price performance ratio of any card on the market when it comes out.
So, my current 280x appears to be going out, luckily its still in warranty, will they give me a new card or will they end up giving me my money back?
>>55234791
really depends on the company
>>55234790
I think the 470 will be better value actually, according to the latest rumors it's packing 2,048 SPs which isn't much less than the 480's 2,304, yet it will cost 25% less as $149.
470 will truly be the GOAT value for poorfags.
>>55234801
Its a Gigabyte.
>>55234805
my 760 is from gigabyte too, the card went do the producent and no news since then
>>55229848
get ready for a gpu that will be nowhere near it's msrp and have literally no stock because you autists keep hyping it up.
maybe in a few months when the stock gets back up and the prices get relatively close to normal you'll be able to get one
>>55234832
spotted the nvidia shill
>>55234804
Well the 470 isn't coming out at the same time as the 480.
>>55234832
True facts
>>55234843
Well he's right, if it's anything like the 1070 and 1080 launch, the $199 is a complete lie, it will sell for like $400 for the first few months.
>>55234843
you can't deny that there won't be anywhere near good stock for the 480
just look at the 290/x during the butt coin rage
that thing was WAY over priced, and stock was terrible.

ive got a i5 4690 non K cpu and 16 gigs ddr 3 ram at 2133.
will my cpu and ddr 3 ram bottle neck a 1070/1080 or even the rx 480?

AMD has already confirmed they have a substantial supply already in the hands of retailers to avoid shortages. You guys haven't been following the chief Poo's Tweets, have you? Taking pot shots at Nvidia left and right.
Nvidia paper launched the 1070 and 1080 to try and beat AMD by coming in early, since they know they don't really stand much of a chance. The Founder's Edition was a desperate ploy to explain why they aren't in stock anywhere when the truth is they don't have the manufacturing potential.
>>55234904
>people acually believe the 480 can top a 1070....
>>55234944
>AMD has already confirmed they have a substantial supply already in the hands of retailers to avoid shortages.
Substantial? What does that even mean?
If it's anything like Nvidia's launch, it will be sold out for months.
>>55234944
"substantial" stock for amd has historically been pretty shitty.
yeah it most likely won't be as bad as the 290 where for like 4 months you couldn't get a card. but expect it to sell out instantly and have terrible stock/prices when it does come back for the next two months
>>55235001
to be fair amd has shit dx11 optimization compared to nvidia. so even at the 10-20 lower fps it would have about as much cpu usage.
>>55234929
unless you play cpu intensive games (like gta) no
also ram hasn't held you back since the ddr2 days, and I'd suggest either overclocking that chip to whaever it's max turbo is, or upgrading to a 4790k like I did. with my 7970 I went from 40-50fps and not able to use vsync, to solid 60+ and actually able to use vsync.
>>55234916
>being this butthurt
>>55234804
Either way, I'm glad I waited to upgrade. I've still got a 6000 series AMD card so no matter which one I pick will be like handing me the keys to a fighter jet.
>>55235001
No, they believe it'll be 90% as good as a 1070. For half the price.
>>55229848

The whole point is to avoid such a failure of a launch, and if they're willing to talk about how they're prepared I'm pretty sure they're prepared. It would be stupid to go out of your way to say you were if you weren't, nothing to gain but everything to lose.

The RX480 is going to be a massive hit.
>>55235522
SLI is great, it's CF that is trash.

True, not that anyone would expect AMD tehnology to be competitive, lel.
>>55235559
Actualy both are trash
>>55235571
>bringing down SLI to CF's level so AMD doesn't appear trash in comparison
I know your game stupid shill, SLI is good and it's even used in competitions, CF is just garbage like everything AMD makes
>>55235587
SLI is shit, the fact that it's used in comepetitions for games that support it doesn't mean anything.
It's still trash for new games, increases latency, power consumption and heat output, and plenty of games don't support it
CF is garbage yes, and so is SLI.
Anyone with half a brain would opt for a single powerful card over an sli/cf setup unless you can pick up a 2nd card dirt cheap
>>55235604
>tech illeterate shit shill still trying to convince /g/ that SLI is shit

>>55235657
How is it good?
Better yet, why would anyone ever choose a dual gpu setup when a powerful single card is also an option?
Lets hear some actual reasons this time instead of just spouting infantile memes like a 14 year old
>>55235667
2x 970 is a much better choice than most highend single GPUs

The only tech illiterate shill we have here is you I am afraid.
>>55235674
It doesn't work in more than half the games out there, and that rate is even much higher among new games.
It's literally fucking trash tier, not to mention the fact that with two 970's you still only have 3,5GB of VRAM meaning they are useless for higher resolutions
You are one dumb motherfucker
>>55235618
> still trying to convince /g/ that SLI is shit
> implying you need to convince /g/ SLI is shit
A lot of people tried it, but only a few individuals stayed with their SLI.
Every multi-GPU setup today is shit and only useful if you want to get over-the-top _average_ FPS at any cost.
There's simply no reasoning with stupid AMD shills, give it a rest, I run 2x1080's for 100+ FPS on 4k and I fucking love it.
AMDfags will never experience that.
>>55235707

>>55235707
>$1400 in video cards
Gee Anon, you sure do love your vidya. But I think I'm gonna be pretty happy with hitting more than 60 FPS on the maximum settings at 1440p for $199.
>>55229848
>GTA V ~60 FPS
You ignored the fact that FPS drops like on my fucking 650Ti Boost with 1GB of VRAM. And that's supposed to be on 8GB version.
>>55235734
> But I think I'm gonna be pretty happy with hitting more than 60 FPS on the maximum settings at 1440p for $199.
>AMD fanboys actualy expecting 1070 levels of performance for 199$
AMDtards getting blown the fuck out by logic again
>>55235741
I mean, worst comes to worst, I'll just pick up a used R9 290 and be pretty happy with that. I have an R9 280X and I've had pretty solid luck with it honestly, even on base clocks.
If the RX480 isnt as great as they say, oh well, sell my 280X for a 290. If it is as great as it's supposed to be, sell my 280X and get it. I literally have nothing to lose here, its just a matter of "how much do I get out of my upgrade in a few weeks". The more, the merrier, right?
That being said, there's an awful lot of similarity in all the leaked benchmarks as far as performance marks goes, so... Looking forward to seeing how it actually performs. I'd be awfully happy with a GTX980 for that price.
>>55235775
It will be a good card for the price, but max settings 60 fps+ on 1440p is literally a bridge too far.
That is 980ti/1070 domain of performance.
People shouldn't overhype this card so much because they will end up disappointed by what is actualy a good product
>>55235063
Haha me too man i got an amd HD 6670
>>55235781
Fact is the vast majority of people are still on 1080 or less so that's not an issue.
Remember, this isn't a flagship card. It's not aiming to compete with the 1070 or the 1080 in performance. Those cards are still to come.
>>55235781
I get 43FPS on Ultra in Overwatch on a 280X and it should be a huge step over that at least. I don't expect 60+ on max in Witcher 3 or GTA V for example but hell, if I get 40 FPS in the most intensive games and 60+ in everything else then I'm happy.
>>55235741
I'm not sure if you're implying some kind of grand conspiracy among hardware reviewers to lie about the benchmarks. Because they all seem to show pretty much exactly that or better.
>>55235802
Overwatch doesn't have very demanding graphics though, even low tier cards are getting very decent fps in that game.
It's not really a good example to base your expectations on unless you plan to only play that game
>>55235805
HAH, what hardware reviewers? And don't point me to some shitty fake leak, show me some actual reviews that show that
>>55234061
Thats why the main news around the world is currently all about the UK.
Hurrr durrrr.

um no, you re just and idiot for buying two.
even a 980ti will do better.

Why is amd pushing the poorfag meme sp hard? Why don't they make a $300 gpu that rivals the 1080, seeing as they can make a $200 card that is close to the 1070, it shouldn't be that hard for them.
>>55234444
>Relative performance
Please stop using memes.
>>55235854
Because they made just one chip so far?
>>55235674
>>55235854
That'll be the RX490.
>>55235854
Because overpriced electronics are a meme
>>55235877

So it'll come? I'll hold on to my current gpu then.

Call me a poorfag if you want, but I have multiple hobbies and I don't plan to spend all of my disposable income on just one of them by getting a 1080 Good-Goy Edition™
RX480 will truly be the card of responsible adults.

Yes, you are retarded.

Will it fuck as llike, its the gpu for cunts like you who claim to have "multiple hobbies" yet sit at home wanking themselves silly.
Just admit its all you can afford.

I have a 380, is the 480 a worthy upgrade? It's a year old. I'm 1080/144 Hz here.

$200 ... thats the 4gb one you know.
>If its not 400 dollars or more its going to be worse than a 980
Nvidia fanboys are seriously this delusional. Their cards would EASILY be 50-80 dollars less if there was more competition in the graphics cards market. Funny how the same peopler on /g/ that think Apple products are marked up and overhyped think that Nvidia is fairly priced.
>>55236840
Imagine an apple gpu.
You must install fucking itunes and all this safari bollocks.
>>55229848
>all of these AMD haters itt
Okey I get it guys want some (you)'s but please stop it. Teens browse this board and they will take you seriously and then go out and buy nvidia's cards and bring death the white mans civilization of cheap GPU's just like on CPU market. We can't afford history to repeat. #GO_RED.
>>55236836
are there better $200 dollar 4GB cards out there?
>>55236832
Worth it, if only to turn on SSAA x4 while keeping the same FPS.
As a more serious answer: Check if you're CPU or GPU limited when exploring the 120+ FPS range.
Get some games, adjust the settings to get over 120 FPS, and see if your GPU is running at 100% load. If it isn't, your CPU is the bottleneck anyway, and you'll hardly be able to use it for anything than what I described above.
>>55236850
http://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac/best-mac-for-gaming-3446272/
>>55236832
I'd argue that past 60 there are diminishing returns on extra FPS. 200 in comparison to 60 is noticeable but not as noticeable as 30 to 60
>>55236840
The fact that Nvidia cut prices on their GPUs simply because the RX480 is coming out is proof enough of that.
The costs are high because they know that people will pay it and they try to hold a section of the market where AMD is not competing.
>>55236882

>>55236870
I have a 5820k, so I think I'm good on the CPU side of things.
>>55236893
Agreed, but once you get used to 90+ fps, dipping below that does become noticeable. Personally I have a hard time noticing a difference past 100 fps.
>>55230605
God I can't wait till the 29th, either the card will be as good as all the hype they generate, or it will be crap like everything else (Fiji? Bulldozer?) and they will shut up about it.
>>55236929
oh I forgot the 10xx stuff
>thermi 2.0 (runs hot as fuck)
nvidia straight up lied about 1080 being a oc beast that can do 2,1ghz on air and 2.5ghz under water WITH FOUNDERS EDITION
top kek there is no reviewer out there that managed to oc a 1080 to 2.1ghz stable with costum coolers to test them for longer than like 4-5mins underload befor the cards shited themself
>no oc headroom on the 1070 ( average of 10% oc is trash worse than fury oc)
> super low yields on 10XX
>>55236959
I'm looking forward to the RX480 actually being really fucking good, not because I want the card for myself or because I want AMD to succeed.
I just want to see Kyle Bennett get blown the fuck out.
>>55236913
I have a feeling that Nvidia's modus operandi on graphics cards is producing ones which simply outperform AMDs on a card to card basis in hopes that 10-20 more frames will justify a 100 dollar markup for people too stupid to research. I guarantee you that Nvidia will push an "elite gaymur" marketing plan in order to maintain their prices on their higher end cards and then attempt to recreate the 750ti to get the AMD market.
>>55236943
I got an OCed 5820K, and it's definitely bottlenecking me when I try to play most games at >100 FPS
Depends on the game though, a bunch will run just fine.
wow my 970 does the same and was released almost 2 years ago
>b-but price
maxwell series is cutting down its price to adjust to pascal
>b-but 3.5 meme xDDD
typical amdrones
kek you're hilarious
>>55236996
Really? What games are bottlenecking that CPU? I know Skylake has better single threaded performance but I didn't think it'd matter that much already.
>>55236993
10-20 lol try 5-10 only @1080p and 4k being same or lower fps
>>55237022
buy a trash 970 if you could buy a much better 390
>>55237022
>maxwell series is cutting down its price to adjust to pascal
970 is still 300 to 350
That's 70 to 120 dollars MORE you Nvidia fanboy
>>55235805
>>55235811
I can't wait for the 29th, either this shit will stop or we can all rejoice. Guessing it will be typical AMD shit and they will blame drivers on launch day..
>>55236929
Or AMD
>We haven't had anything decent since the Athlon XP

>fuck I can´t win against gpu facts, QUICK tell him that amd´s cpus are shit that sure shows him that nvidia is better.
top cuck
>>55237031
I'd say about 80% of games will not run a stable 100+ FPS. Even games that are fairly easy on the GPU, like Borderlands 2, will dip into the 70s, and that's with dynamic shadows off.
Most devs design games around running approximately 60 FPS on a midrange CPU (something like an i5-4460), some dips accounted for. No matter what you do, there isn't a CPU out there that has 2.5x higher single threaded performance, and you will not be able to get these games to run 144 FPS.
There are a bunch of games that do: Games with proper multithreading can do it, though they are a small minority. And of course, largely games designed to run on much weaker CPUs.
>>55237098
But I don't have to, they genuinely haven't had anything good since then. That's why you shills have to latch on to memes.
>>55237101
thats some amount bullshit I didn´t read in a long time
>>55230667
I hope there will be a passive model.
>>55237119
>I just ignore his comment and try to futher tell people about amd cpus that nobody talked about because that shows everybody that nvidia is better
are you nvidiucucks all mouthbreathers ?
>>55237135
And you've probably never gamed at 144 FPS.
>>55237137
Now that they figured out how to do low power/tdp cards, I too hope that passively cooled gpu's make a comeback.
>mfw i5-3570k and Gtx 660ti
CSGO runs at 240-300 fps on my 144Hz Monitor
Will this be worth it? CSGO is the only game I play and until now I never saw a reason to upgrade, but at 200€ it might be worth it.
>>55237156
>gamed
i want this meme to stop
>>55237174
If you already rune above 144fps on a 144Hz monitor then you don't really need a upgrade.
Unless you need some of the more modern technologies like DX12\Vulkan, HW accelerated video encoding and such.
>>55237174
Same as me but regular ol' 1080 60hz.
I'm gonna stay like this until I get a beast for nothing in secondhand or I really really need it
>>55237101
Weird. I guess this is surprising to me mainly because the only FPS I've been playing much of over the past year or two is BF4, which is exceptionally well multithreaded and one of the main reasons I opted for Haswell-E over Skymeme.
>>55237201
I do light photo/video editing which does bring my PC to it's limits, but I don't feel like that's enough of a reason for upgrading since I don't depend on it and have time.
>>55237208
>I'm gonna stay like this until I get a beast for nothing in secondhand
Was thinking about that to, but as I know from the past it will probably take a year until the retards realize that no one wants to pay 200+ for their shitty 3 year-old midrange cards.
>>55237174
You'll profit from lower power consumption. Minimal benefit you probably wouldn't notice if you're playing at a very high tier from additional FPS. You could run SSAA and still get over 300 FPS for improved image clarity.
So, in short, only worth it if you're competitive enough to make every ms count.
>>55237190
Gamed was valid english before computer games were invented you illiterate dipshit.
Will the aftermarket 480 be coming out in 2 weeks time after release date?
>>55237190

I want this word to die.
>>55237155
Hoping some nvidia fanboy has the same AMD memes you have and can copy past them.
>drivers
>they had house fires too
>power needed...
>benchmarks?
and again, some of the memes don't even make sense. 3.5G who cares? It can have one meg of ram for all I care, as long as it performs like it does and beats AMD for the price. But again, latch on to your memes and enjoy your apple like share of the market...
>>55237274
>buy card labeled with 4 GB memory
>doesn't care that it really only has 3.5 GB at GDDR5 speeds
>wouldn't care if it was only 1 GB "as long as it beats AMD"
End your fucking life, you insufferable cuckold.
Good reason not to crossfire apart from microstutter/support.
