Id never buy one, but they did say its only lower midrange.

Something to understand about the 480 is that it costs $200.

Move to a real country
Everything is more expensive in europe, you have to translate it to rich people money.
If someone says to you that the 1070 is only $450, that's $600 in europe.
>>
>>55315680
the one tested is the 8gb that's between $230-$260

we haven't seen the 4gb $200 card yet

It actually performs as advertised. There are some game benchmarks where the 480 beats the 980. I'd say with the upcoming driver improvements it's a solid buy for 200$

In active development. And yes, very much usable for GCN 1.1 and higher, GCN 1.0 experimental. And completely open source (AMDGPU).

$100? I've read that it got a $25 price cut, 980 got a $75 price cut and 980 Ti $125.

Help me lads

I've got a 7870


And my next gpu will need to be a blower style (sg13 case)

The 480 is good for me, no? Would be a big improvement?
>>
>>55315892
Yes. Buy it.

Its literally this years equivalent of the 7870. You're looking at above 100% improvement.
>>
>>55315599

I have 960

should I upgrade to rx 480?

>>
>>55315922
Yes, don't get reference board though.
>>
>>55315599
That's just an AMD bias game.

You'll notice the 390 still beats it.
>>
>>55315916
Well yes, because the 390 is a factory overclocked 290 even at its base clock, and since there aren't any reference 390s, it will be a custom model that's further factory overclocked above that. Most come in at around 1050MHz out of the box. The fact that a reference 480 is so close is honestly encouraging, as it means custom models with their factory overclock and better cooling should breeze past it out of the box.
>>
RX 470 when.
>>
>>55315927
Yeah, open source people don't mind blobs, it's the RMS FSF crowd that cares about those
>>
>>55315452
>mfw i dont have a graphics card right now and the rx480 is coming out
It's all I could have asked for in a card at the same price as the 960.
>>
>>55315973
terrible clickbait news site spreading rumors.

fuck off.
>>
480 has 32 ROPs
every other card on that benchmark has over 56+
Not bad for almost half amount of ROPs
>>
>>55315452
>cherry picking benchmarks
never change /g/
>>
>>55316086
So pretty much same as 1080 vs Titan x?
>>
>>55316041
>That's just an AMD bias game
Any DirectX 12 game is an AMD-biased game
>>
>>55315452
>Almost all gimpworks titles
>reference 480
>290x/390 performance at $200-260

Great deal for poorfags, but getting the reference 480 is retarded since aftermarket cards will have higher clock speeds and better coolers.

I'll be waiting on the non-reference 490/x to replace my 290.
>>
>>55316140

1070 is still better.

LADS, should I buy a GTX 980 for £250 ($335.96)?
>>
should I upgrade to a 390 if I find it on sale? are the windforce coolers any good?

right now I got a 660 ti and mostly play Overmeme and other Blizzard games.

Buy a used 390/980 or wait for 480 custom cooler

There's GTX 970 4GB aftermarket coolers for 2300 SEK at the moment (269USD), should I get one of those even though I hate Nvidia for their disgusting marketing campaigns and overpriced shit? Or will the AMD 390 lower in price? 3500 SEK atm (410 USD). Will my 500W PSU be enough?

Fuck EU, Fuck swedish retailers, Fuck AMD for not putting their fist down and forcing stores to sell for 199USD which is the MSRP
>>
>>55316241

I can get a brand new one for 300.

I'd say that's gud considering how more expensive 980s are in the same online store.

The EU doesn't set tax rates you moron, it's your own government that has set that VAT rate. Different EU countries have VAT between 19 and 25.

Also, learn to buy this type of stuff from Germany as you get much better prices from there.
