actually it doesn't
>>55317370
>14nm
Yes. We need a sticky bad. 6 AM PST was the zero hour where the youtube vids, the html reviews, etc popped up.
tl;dr
It's basically a cheaper version of a R9 390 with similar performance but it's noisy and has thermal issues. Reminds me of the HD 4850 when it launched when it was a milestone for cost effective gaming but the single slot cooler was a huge issue with fan failure in the long term from the card running very hot.

how the fuck are we supposed to know any of this you outrageous faggot?
>>55317506
that's a "gayman", non-reference card
of course it uses more power
i want to see the proper version of the 480, the vapor-x/toxic/whatever cooled ones
I was going to jump on board, even with the slightly disappointing performances, but nevermind that seeing the EU price point we get.
Thanks.
>>55317370
This is because of the driver bug that makes card's memory clock not downclock when using multiple monitors, all amd cards are affected

My friend still has the HD 4850 :^) it's loud as fuck and on stock cooler it is constantly over heating and shutting down his PC. He refuses to upgrade cuz he only plays dota 2

Well I know it's gonna be delayed but by what sort of a margin? Russia is another market so things generally cost less there bc poorfags
I think everyone expected much worse results, it's not that bad for 200.(who the hell would buy 8gb version?)
>>55317595
but rx480 is anti-amd
it's shit and expensive outside us (where it should be cheap because countries are way more poor)
>>55317598
If it is better, it is better. Let us be fair to the cards that are out now.
>>55317598
probably overpriced and a piece of shit, just like the 960 is
>>55317584
what a card that is.. and the 4870..i only changed it because i couldnt play assetto corsa with 512 mb
According to Jayztwocents' benchmarks, it's on par with the SSC (super super clocked) 970
>>55317384
it's still shit, all these cards are at stock speed, have fun finding a GTX 970/980 r9 390 at stock.
you can't even OC a 480 by 5%, the fuck is this
red pill me on this card, lads. worth replacing my 7950 for?

Anyways: The 480 basically replaces the 970.
I'll wait for vega.
>>55317676
you realize that 970 is still 400+ in EU? it goes for 500+ in more remote places
meanwhile 960 same price as 480 goes for about 280-310

Neither Linus' nor Jayztowcents' benchmarks confirm those results. the 480 is on par with the maximally overclocked 970

going to be a good upgrade for me coming from a single 760 2gb
>>55317732
it's 200 on newegg
Honestly when you look over the benchamrks on all those sites it's doing much better than the doom and gloom expected. It's around a 980 for most games at 1440p+ (I didn't even look at 1080 because who give a shit about 1080). Pretty good for 200$. Doesn't come close to 1070 but who seriously thought it would for 1/3 of the price.
It's in between a 970 and 980 for 200$. Not great, but pretty good value.
>>55317645
AMD says it’s going after that chunk of the market buying $100 to $300 graphics cards — 84% of gamers, according to its internal data. The company wants a big install base of VR-capable PCs so that as HMDs become more affordable, enthusiasts have the hardware needed to enjoy virtual reality comfortably.
At this very moment, that means the Radeon RX 480 needs to be as fast as or faster than the Radeon R9 290 and GeForce GTX 970. Both HTC and Oculus use those as baseline recommendations for powering their headsets. Although the 480 isn’t always as fast as both cards, it seems to always beat at least one, and in many cases it outperforms even faster boards like the Radeon R9 390 and 390X. We think it’s safe to say that Radeon RX 480 satisfies AMD’s aim in this one regard.
>Cheaper than the gtx 970
>Better than the gtx 970
I don't see a problem here.
>>55317710
lmao, what? Even in our heavily taxed country a 970 goes for ~280 EUR while the 390 is about 300 EUR
And the 480 will cost about the same.
400+ if you look for sites that havent updated their catalog in 2 years mabye.
>>55317741
Not doomed, my friend, not doomed
>>55317738
bullshit, on every possible review it's below a normal 970 or on par with it excluding a few games where it isn't that bad
HOLY SHIT IT'S OVER
AMD FUCKING WON
>>55317716
Yeah, but the 1080 is $1400 and the 1070 is $835
Phoronix benches are up

Better than a 960, worse than the 970. AMDGPU-PRO still shite. Surprise
Will future driver updates make things better?
>>55317753
cheaper if you're from the US. Anywhere else and you're shit outta luck, the RX480 isn't even competitive.
>>55317746
bu-but we learned here that 480 is worse than a geforce 256
i guess those paid shiils and kyle are having a massive stroke
>>55317738
Linus and Jayztwocents are fucking retard, specially Jayz he is super dumb when it comes to GPUs when he reviewed the 1080 everyone at the overclocker forum made fun of him for his ignorance, people like him shouldn't get GPU to review, the people who should get GPUs to review are the people from overclocking forum that create the tools to mod BIOS and hardware mods, Jay is a joke on the GPU and watercooling world.
>>55317716
yep
feels fuckin bad man.
rx 470 when?
The performance is about where I expected (between 390 and 390X) but the power draw is through the roof and it's loud as a banshee.
What the hell AMD?
>>55317671
I'm using a 7950 but I'm on 1440p. It's getting to the point where I desperately need to upgrade, for some games.
>>55317768
but it's not worse than a 970. Maybe they didn't use the latest drivers from this monday?
>>55317759

>970 $6/fps
>rx 480 $7.5/fps

>>55317671
>>55317805
Still using a 7950 here as well, will be waiting for the 1060 before upgrading. None of the new AMD cards are worth making the jump for.
is it worth getting 8GB if im using only one GPU on one monitor only?
probably gonna wait a few weeks anyway for more tests and for the 1060 to compare
When can we expect non-reference cooler editions and/or non-reference liquid coolers.
>>55317802
>x3 times less than 390

this guy is so ugly man how the hell does he have a wife and kids?

480 is cheaper than 970 over here in Check'em Republic, though still more expensive than it should be
>>55317778
>Anywhere else and you're shit outta luck
If it costs more outside the US then that means all other cards cost more including Nvidia's.
>>55317768
well its way better than the previous one
what is the most concerning thing i saw is those few ones that used dx11/dx12/vulkan didnt saw any increase on vulkan
i just hope for the sake of competitiveness that vulkan actually delivers because linux and especially windows 7 guys will get behind
>>55317820
the 8GB version is totally useless
Shut out of the mobile sector again because of their poor perf/watt.
>>55317805
I'm using a 7950 too
don't even bother with the 480, that thing has like 40% more performance.
My 7950 is running on 1230MHz though
>>55317705
no it isn't americunt falseflag
>>55317777
well amd always mature better especially now that they introduced HWS (basicly a bios for their ace engines) thats why you see that nice boost on dx12 from such a card
>>55317826
Not really, no. The new cards are way more expensive than the previous generation (3xx and 9xx series for AMD and Nvidia respectively.)
This is always how it goes, the RX480 might be price competitive a year from now, but it's already too late by then.
>>55317765
Is Paul's hardware also a retard?
>>55317778
The 480 is almost half the price of a 970 from almost all the canadian vendors. No one in their right mind would go for any other card than this unless they want to go high-end 1070 and 1080.
>>55317835
>poor perf per watt
>top of the graph among midrange cards

>>55317802
>loud as a banshee
Reviewers are praising the card's noise levels, particularly after AMD's 290/290X reference aircraft.
>>55317851
show me other results, i can also show you a game where the rx480 is faster than a gtx980, in most games it is shit.
Yeah, I'm going to just wait for 1070 to drop in price.
I set my expectations low, but AMD managed to disappoint me anyway.
-160W? That's 10W over the theoretical max.
-Memory clocks with more than one monitor still not fixed. I've had enough of my card idling at 65C with two monitors, and consuming 4 times the power of what nvidia cards consume when simply idling.
-Performance is a bit lower (like 5%) than I expected. Not a huge deal, but obviously doesn't push me towards getting the card.
-Basically no overclocking potential. A lot of this may have to do with the power limits. The card is already consuming 160W on power delivery that is supposed to only provide 150W. Aftermarket cards with an 8 pin connector should provide some extra overclocking potential, who knows how much though. Perhaps AMD should've released the card with an 8 pin connector instead, but I imagine that would've made claiming the TDP to be 150W an impossible feat.
The card has the performance of a 970 (roughly 5% better than stock, matches or loses to aftermarket models) and the efficiency of a 970. This would be fine, but the card came out almost 2 years after 970. Its only saving grace is the non-gimped vram, and to a lesser extent, its price. Currently, the cheapest GTX 970 costs the same as the cheapest 8 GB RX 480 where I live, so honestly the progress is minimal.

see you in q2 2017
>>55317853
in Australia some models of the 970 are cheaper overall than the 480 models.
And wait until custom coolers get added.
>>55317837
It's definitely more than 40%. It's in between the 970 and 980 and those both crush the 7950 at 1440p. Getting 30fps with high settings in witcher 3 is impossible with a 7950 at 1440. You gotta go medium/low settings.
That said I mostly play autistic grand strategy games so I don't know if I'll be upgrading at all yet.

>2560x1440
You understand that 1080 is still the norm right?
1440 is still pretty irrelevant
>>55317861
Just like all the reviews at the top said. Right in between the 970 and 980. Some games it even does better than 980 but some games it's down with the 970.
Pretty good value for 200$ IMO.

>>55317296
I'm not much of an expert on these things so sorry if this is a retarded question, but I want to upgrade my GTX 550 Ti, should I get this RX 480 or get a 970 instead? Money isn't an issue, just have low wattage (460 max) in my desktop
>>55317438
How? It can only draw 150w, that's all it gets, so how is it drawing an average above what can be delivered?
>>55317917
>still using 1080p in 2016
What the fuck. Why are you even on /g/? Still using 1080p would be like still using 720p monitors in 2010. Anything less than 1440p is irrelevant because almost every card now a days can max out every game.
It's actually cheaper in the UK than in Germany even tough normally it was always the other way. Looks like Brexit was a good thing for the UK hardware market.

Fucking hell.
I've been looking to upgrade from my relatively ancient HD6970, guess I might as well go for the 3.5 meme card, especially since I use multiple monitors and there's decent aftermarket coolers available right now.
>>55317970
>because almost every card now a days can max out every game.
What world are you living in
I'd say that AMD has a winner here.
While the reference card seems to admittedly be garbage thanks to the sub par cooling solution the partner designs should be just about perfect.
The performance is exactly as it should be.
>>55317982
except 229 bucks
>>55317982
it's 5% faster than 970, also wtf did you expect at usd 200. kys cumskin
>>55317964
Oh fuck off, I don't give a shit about overclocker forums who want 1070 performance from a 200$ card.
>>55317992
>AMD’s Radeon RX 480 draws an average of 164W, which exceeds the company's target TDP. And it gets worse. The load distribution works out in a way that has the card draw 86W through the motherboard’s PCIe slot. Not only does this exceed the 75W ceiling we typically associate with a 16-lane slot, but that 75W limit covers several rails combined and not just this one interface.

Honestlu your still fine with a 7950. Thats all i play too at 1440 and i have had zero desire to upgrade still.
It's a cheap card that allows everyone to have a 970.
Other than that it's pretty average, I'll probably pick one up today.
Nvidifags on suicide watch. Jumping to conclusion from 1 shit video which was released before NDA.
Well, it seems to linger between 390/X and 970/80, depending on the game. Pretty much where it was expected to be.
Complete and utter shit reference cooler though. That's one way to keep the price down... Will not be buying or recommending a ref 480 to anyone I know. Partner boards should solve that unless they mysteriously all drop the ball.
Sounds like there were some memory OC issues, though. It didn't look like the memory chips got much in the way of direct contact cooling (and who knows about the VRMs). Perhaps that'll also be solved by partner boards.

if you have an ancient HD 6970 you might aswell get a GTX 670 or HD 7950
they are super cheap nowadays and you will notice a huge imporvement
(got my GTX 670 for just 100€ 2nd hand, and my friend can still run most games in high with his HD 7950 that he bought years ago)

make a custom power profile for low usage situations or some shit
>>55317947
That's because of the VAT you stupid cuck. Every import gets taxed. Once you remove it the price is around 230€. The manufacturer would have to move to Europe to have lower prices otherwise. Nvidia isn't safe from this.

>>55317965
Based on all the benchmarks in op why would you ever get a 970? Its more expensive and bedt case scenario its the same performance. In most scenarios the 480 is better for cheaper.

what about something like fallout with lots of texture mods?
is 4gb still enough?

Take a look at pound/euro exchange rates.
pre-brexit: £1=1.3€
post-brexit: £1=1.2€
I've got a 4K FreeSync monitor, I was hoping against hope that they'd release something worth my money, but what a bitter disappointment this shit is. Slower than a fucking 295X2 at 4K, barely any OC headroom, absolute crap cooler

>is 8gb vram a meme for 1080p?
Kinda sorta. The 4gb versions come with slower VRAM, so you'll get worse perf when using AA modes.
I'm gonna get a non-reference 4gb version with 2 power connectors, crazy good performance for the price, and a giant leap from my 6970. Basically the card I was waiting for: powerful, cheap, and has a short pcb.
Actually I think I may wait a month just to see the 970. It uses a binned Polaris 10, so there may be a chance for it to be unlockable to a 480, just like the 6950->6970 was.
>>55318048
I have no idea what you're trying to say here. The only assertion I make is that the 970 hangs around the RX480 price point outside of the US and the 970 performance is slightly better while enjoying lower power consumption.
Thus, it's not competitive. >>55317886

>Anything less than 1440p is irrelevant because almost every card now a days can max out every game.

Try maxing out MSAAx8 or TXAAx4 and still get consistent 60fps
>protip you can't
>>55318066
You will never ever need more than 4gb for anything in 1080p for a long time. Maybe two years down the line with nega hugh resolution bethesda game mods but thats it
>>55318045
There's no way around it. When playing video or having multi-monitor on AMD cards, they up their memory clock to maximum to fix a particular bug that they haven't fixed since forever. The memory running on maximum clock accounts for the elevated power consumption.

>>55318098
Are you mentally stunted? I'm comparing two EU prices. It's not fucking apples and oranges here, smartass.
I can get the 970 for 280 and the RX480 for 270, woah! Very competitive.
>>55318102
>970 hangs around the RX480 price point
Yet 480 offers 8GB of RAM while 970 has only 4GB. Nice try *slow clap*
Not amazing like some people were hyping it up to be but still pretty good.
>>55317350
>people sold R9 390s/GTX 970s for this.
>>55317584
I have this card too. I paid so cheap when it launched and wasnt disapointed. [spoiler]to play at 1024x768[/spoiler]
>>55318111
>>55318066
I'm not sure how detailed texture mods are for fallout 4, but you should be fine with 4gb. Maybe invest in the 8gb for future games and if you do upgrade to 4k.

>>55318077
No joke, what a fucking disappointment. Even the cheapest 8GB versions are 279€, which once again is exactly the same as the cheapest 970s. It would really need to be 250€ max to be worthwhile considering the performance and power draw.
>>55318112
You'd have to go over 6 months back for the 1.4€. Anyway, what the exact numbers are isn't particularly relevant. Just that pound fell in comparison to euro (and dollar), and the retailers have yet to adjust to these changes. They bought their 480s before the pound fell after all.
>>55318133
90% of these cards will be sold in russia and china though
in russia 8gb version costs like asus 960
in china it will be even cheaper
What a letdown
>>55318163

>>55318142
it's exactly where it should be, but AMD fucked up hard and got everyone's hopes up with the whole "480 crossfire is better than 1080, despite the 480 CF only at 60% usage!!!!!'
AMD could've had a winner, but instead it fucked up hard. I was 99% sure I was gonna buy one, but at this point, I'll just wait for 490. there's a boatload of cheap 390x and 980 on craigslist anyway
>>55318178
D-d-d-d-damage control!

>>55318156
Yeah show me an 8GB 970 at 270€. I'm not seeing any 8GB versions.
>>55318097
>the cheapest
nobody fucking cares about "the cheapest"
i don't want a fucking 3.5GB card of any kind or a reference cooled 480
>>55318141
Id rather have 3.5+0.5 gig with good drivers than 8 with amd just fuck my shit up tier drivers
Which one /g/?
I have to get a present for a friend with a freesync monitor.
>>55318141
And what does that have to do with VAT and Nvidia not being exempt from it?
THIS is the argument, right here. When a 2yr old card is more price competitive than your new generation AMD card something is wrong.
>>55318159
>>55318194
