Will this be a meme card?
Nope.
this card is gonna save amd
>>342155951
It's only a meme because AMDtards think it will be anywhere close to a 980ti/1070. when it's just a cheaper, more power efficient 970.
I can't wait to see actual benchmarks
> b-but wait for the drivers
AMD has been a meme since 2010. That's the only explanation I can come up with for why people still support them

Why do nvidia, AMD, and AIB partners waste money on manufacturing these pieces of shit?
>>342157683
It will be as powerful as the 980 non ti. Most of the leaks say this much as a minimum.
>>342158045
Both my 5770 and 7870 were great. Fuck off retard

Unless the GTX 1060 is more powerful and compact like the 750ti the RX 480 is gonna be bet GPU of 2016.

I still have GTX 750ti, do I need to upgrade? (I seldom play AAA title nowadays)

Only if you care about playing triple A games at max settings, but considering how unoptimized games have been I'd upgrade soon.

>>342161315
Steams still a large enough sample size to consider an accurate representative of the pc userbase. If Amd actually had a good market share they wouldn't be losing money or hurting investor wise.
>>342161315
Well since AMD users can't afford a card with real performance I wouldn't expect them to afford video games either.
>>342161663
AMD had 40% market share until 2 years ago. None of those cards show up on Steam's hardware survey in significant numbers. It's obviously a bullshit survey because it's optional and AMD demographic is smart enough to not click "yes" on every dialog that pops up
>>342161487
I've never seen so much butthurt about not being invited to an event
There's literally zero sources for those claims
It's well-known that AMD hardware is subpar compared to Intel + Nvidia hardware. This is also further compounded by the fact that Intel + Nvidia have better drivers and a better relationship with game developers. Intel + Nvidia is well-supported and well optimized.
AMD is the budget-bin bargain thrift-store 2nd-rate bottom-bucket off-brand no-name poor-people choice. AMD tried to make up for this with Mantle, but Mantle failed.

Amd fucked themselves hard by ignoring game developers to when it came to them trying to figure out ways to optimize for Amd cards. I don't understand where this Amd are the good guys meme came from. They don't care about their customers, it's obvious in the way they release drivers well after a titles release. Their Linux drivers are garbage. They still have yet to optimize tesselation for their cards, something that's still used in dx12. Not to mention they pretty much abandoned vulkan.
>>342162675
>unironically being a NVIDIA shill
>after the 3.5 fiasco
>after drivers literally killing cards
Lmao
So what's a good card for someone who doesn't have 800-1000 dollars to spend on a really good rig? I'm around 500+ right now and this seems like the thing I'm looking for.
>>342160857
The saddest thing about this is that the circled portion is for the ENTIRE 200 series. This means that AMD probably has even less market share in 2016 than the 12% reported in 2015.
>>342155951
If it can match a 980 like the memes say, then I won't care to have a meme card myself. My 780 is starting to show its age at the resolution I ask it to run games at.
It sounds too good to be true.
>>342162962
Well the question is, are you ok with making concessions?
If you save your money and buy a 1080 or wait until the 1080ti, then you will be riding the graphics wave. If you get an AMD card now that's equivalent to the 980, you will save money, but will already be turning graphical settings down on your games. If you don't mind that, then the AMD card is the best bang for your buck.
>>342162721
>Amd fucked themselves hard by ignoring game developers to when it came to them trying to figure out ways to optimize for Amd cards.
Nigga what?
If you're talking about that Project Cards dude he has been caught lying for it.
The one who is damaging the industry is Nvidia with their propriety bullshit.
No dev in the world can optimize these shit into AMD card because of the secrecy of it and Nvidia would never share this shit with AMD.
>Their Linux drivers are garbage.
It is, AMD is shit in Linux but shit have been improving alot since GPU open started.
>They still have yet to optimize tesselation for their cards,
Tessellation on AMD is fine as long as it isn't dial up to a bullshit multiplication.
What Nvidia did is basically dialed up the tessellation to the point that there's not visible return just to gimp AMD cards. It doesn't make sense to go beyond 32x but Nvidia did it anyway because they can.
>Not to mention they pretty much abandoned vulkan.
Are you fucking retarded?
AMD give Mantle to Kronos for free so thay they can use it to make Vulkan, the next shit to replace the old and aging OpenGL.

>>342155951
No because it's not The Way It's Meant To Be Played (tm).
>>342155951
Its a great budget card for people wanting to get a build under $900.
sure it wont do 4k, or EVERY GAME on ultra but for a good entry level gaming card you cant go wrong for $199.
Not to mention I am gaming on a 6 year old PC and need to upgrade bad, but want my build under $900 this card is a god send for me.
Getting one of these and a good i5 processor.

Not that poster but do you know what the words anecdotal experience mean?
I've used both AMD and Nvidia cards for the last decade and never had any of them damaged by drivers either, but that doesn't somehow reflect on the rest of the world's statistics and trump them.
But here, if you want some anecdotal experience of my own the only person I've ever known who lost a card to drivers was a guy with a Nvidia 1080 ti. No one I know with AMD has ever lost a card, but guess what? That's anecdotal bullshit that means next to nothing. But you know, maybe that's wrong, no one I personally know has died mountain climbing, maybe I should go do k2 and the entire alps tour.

All you did was confirm everything he said. AMD gave up Mantle to another company because they proved once again they don't know what the hell they are doing. the kronos guys would've found another basis for their API anyways regardless if AMD allowed them access to mantle, They have been wanted to do this for years. It's just a pure coincidence that Mantle happen to fail at the same time.
And good for kronos group because AMD has lost touch with reality for years and all the real talent no longer work for the company.

Mantle isn't a failure product, it is however failed to get dev onto it.
AMD give up on Mantle as soon as M$ announced DirectX 12 that have the same base principle as Mantle.
They would never, ever be able to compete with M$
Which is exactly why they gave it Khronos, a group that is far far more influential in the graphic industry..
With Khronos shit got fuckton easier, and they can easily get tons of dec on board simply by adopting it.
>the kronos guys would've found another basis for their API anyways regardless if AMD allowed them access to mantle
They could, but it would really fucking difficult for them and they would fall behind DX12 if they keep it as it is.
>>342157683

People keep comparing it to top of the line cards like it's competing with them, and that's the first and biggest mistake they all make.
It's good enough to do 1080p with settings turned up and get 60fps or better, and it does this while being half the price or less than the competition.
That's all most people give a shit about.
Leave NVIDIA to me.

>>342168705
It's actually good enough for 2560x1440 with high settings. Ultra settings in less demanding games.
People keep overestimating game requirements because they only see benchmarks run at max settings, but nobody actually uses those. You can usually gain 20fps just by using high shadows instead of ultra shadows or something like that.
>>342155951
Really getting tired of this.
AMD is 10-20% cheaper then NVIDIA. If you want approx performance b4 official benchmarks look at NVIDIA performance for 199$ and then add 10-20% on performance.
I seriously doubt they found some revolutionary way to achieve that kind of price/performance; but i do not doubt that their marketing department is trying to show it that way.
I do not know if people gonna get burned buy this, but almost sure gonna end up disappointed.
>>342168773
POO
>>342168990
Usually turning AA off is the answer.
Though 2560x1440p depends on whether the game has FOV or no; case in point: D44M. That game will trash your PC at 1080p 130FOV in high unless you have something strong as fuck. I'd be -happily- surprised if the 480 can manage to sustain that level of detail at 60+ all the time in that game.
>>342163519

>>342155951
>Will this be a meme card?
yes. It's 40% slower than a GTX 1070. There are firestrike leaks already out and it shit. Can't exspect much for 199$ (in US) while it will cost atleast 250€+ in europe non aftermarket.

>>342173371
Isn't the claim that two of AMD's new cards will outperform one of NVidia's new top-tier cards, but for much cheaper though?
I don't understand why people try to spread so much fanboy hate about either one with these releases. AMD aren't trying to compete with the 1070 or 1080 right now.
It's like Mercedes releasing a new sports car and people comparing it to Chevrolet's release of a mid-size sedan.
It's fucking dumb just buy whatever is the best for your own personal situation.
>>342173542
True, but they're just doing that to show off the 480s power and potential for VR.
For majority of games, that comparison is meaningless because the majority of games don't have both crossfire support and DX12.
>>342173860
Why do games have to natively support crossfire instead of the computer doing it?
>>342174062

>>342163920
Nvidia is just paying AMD to """compete""" by giving them a 970/980 to toy around
is it worth replacing a 750ti for this? i was considering just getting a 1070 and be done with it.
How much would it matter if I get the 4gb instead of the 8gb version?
>>342176798
Depends on your budget and setup. If you are fine with High settings 1080p 60fps then this is probably the best bang for your buck.
At stock clocks, a 1070 will probably perform 30% better give or take.
>Implying it wont just be another 290x but with less power usage
>>342176798
im personally getting this as an upgrade for my 770 to hold off until the next architecture comes around. 1070 seems to be an overkill for 1080p gaming so far and it aint cheap either
I just want benchmarks already, I only have a 1080p monitor anyway so 200 dollars sounds better for a card to max games instead of a 420 dollar one

Yeah, we don't really have that much of a reason to upgrade
Semi-related, does it matter what slot I put my card into in terms of performance?
>just finished pc
>realize I have no wifi adapty thing or ethernet cable
dang
>>342164961
AMD is the consolefag brand though.
While Nvidia supports high end PC gaming, deep learning, and 3d workstations, AMD makes console gpus and "console performance" pc gpus
>>342166082
don't forget .5 GB more lmao
>>342161315
AMD users are the niggers of the PC gaming community.
literally zero surprise there
preorder where?
>>342180186
You mean, "because AMD's competitors have been anticompetitive so as to drive up the price of their own product, AMD has been stuck tending to the consolefags to survive"
Intel's bullshit crippled AMD when it mattered, and there were never any real repercussions. I really hope this card pulls AMD up from the muck, because I want to see a competitive hardware market again, god dammit.
It won't reach this point.
How does AMD even stay alive?
The only people who buy their shit are basically tech illiterate hipsters and poorfags
>>342164628
Do people really update drivers at every possible moment? I only do it on a fresh install then when I absolutely need to.
>>342166243
>Don't worry Goy we will give you the other .5 when you buy the next card
It looks like a pretty amazing deal seeing that your buying 8 gigs of vram for only $200. Great time to upgrade for amd customers.
>>342179936
Usually the top pcie slot performs better than the bottom ones, but check your mobo specs and see whichever one runs the fastest
>>342163479
Project CARS wasn't even a gameworks title.
>>342155951
Well the 750Ti is considered a meme card so yes.
is this shit gonna be sold out for a long time too?
>>342182283
>AMD
nobodys gonna buy it except for /g/ hipsters
>they didn't go allin on AMD at the start of the year
LAUGHING AT YOU ALL DESU
You still have time to get in before Zen & Vega drops and the computing landscape is changed forever.
>>342182429
I dont trust anything you say mr ant
This is going to be the greatest video card of all time.
For just $200 you will have a card more powerful than $600 alternatives of the present.
With this plus Zen following shortly, we are truly about to enter a golden age of consumer electronics.
>>342180991
Being the GPU inside of all three consoles this gen and two of the three consoles from last gen helps a lot, I'm sure.
Bulldozer did nothing wrong.
>>342182490
If you bought AMD at the start of the year by now you would have tripled your investment in just 6 months.
AND ZEN ISN'T EVEN OUT YET.
If you think the 480 is amazing, wait till you see Zen.
>>342168773
Pretty nice dad-stache, gotta admit.
>>342182520
Jesus christ John at least try to be subtle with you marketing, you're making it harder for the rest of us
>>342182727
Even if it was marketing, it's absolute truth.
>>342178172
4gb is adequate if you are gaming at 1080p.
>>342161487
Ayyyy
>>342182862
>>342178172
I'd still go for the 8GB version. It's not that much more and it's more future proof.
>>342182862
>>342182942
what situation would I need 8gb just out of curiosity?
>tfw building an sli 1080 with a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor and six core cpu oc'd to 4.6ghz, liquid cooling, m.2 ssd, and 32gb ddr4 quad channel later this year
>gonna use my neetbux to finance it
Gg niggers
>>342182992
Today, gaming at 2k or 4k. That's not to say that some developer may end up using it for some other crazy reason in the future, but 4GB for all modern games is plenty for 1080p.
>>342183242
>>342182992
Its probably better to go with the 8GB one because you get all that extra power for lower than what nvidia currently charges with the 970.
>>342182914
is that seriously the idle temperature?
>>342168923
Obama must be so proud.
I don't give 2 shits about AMD GPUs.
AMD and Nvidia go toe to toe.
AMD needs to get their shit together in the CPU market. Intel has dominated it for too fucking long. If Zen fails to be good, AMD is going to be trouble.
>>342184141
no
>>342182682
>buying stocks of a company with negative earnings growth, net loss for the past 5 years, and no projected future net cash inflows
top kek
>>342182992
A lot of modern games require more than 4GB, AAA titles like GTAV and Shadow of Mordor to name a few
>>342184141
No that's the load temperature, it's a small 14nm chip, why would you expect it to be hot?
>>342168923
Ahmed was an Ahmed
Raja is a Poo
there's a difference
What's the cheapest gpu I need to play witcher 3 in medium setting with no frame drops?
>>342187127
>>342166681
>7870
So I see my card is still relevant, up to a point.
Might wait another year to upgrade then.
I'm selling my 970 for this
no reason not to really when it performs as well as a $600 card
>>342180050
these work really well

>>342157683
>when it's just a cheaper, more power efficient 970.
With full 8gb of vram, not 3.5gb or 7.5gb(like the 1070).
>>342166243
Hi, first of all there is nothing about the new Nvidia GTX 970 that Nvidia has misled customers on.
Second of all I find it very offensive to the thousands of hard working engineers that have put so much love into this exceptional hardware.
It's obvious that the GPU performs very well in all api OpenGL and DX12.
AMD is not good they are always slower it is not the fault of Nvidia.
So i've flagged this topic to be deleted by a moderator.
Thank you my friend.
Have a nice day.
>>342168773
>I can handle NVIDIA by myself
>>342182992
Nigger can you seriously not afford an extra $20? It probably wouldn't help in 95% of games but it's those 5% that do that make it worth it.
