So the 480x is killing motherboards.
All because it draws more power over the PCI-E slot than the spec allows.

Just wait a month or two for customs. ASUS has already announced theirs and MSI will do the same in a week or so.
>>343425891
I'm buying the 1080 though.
Can't trust Canucks w/ power.
>>343426070
Then what the fuck are you doing in this thread?
>>343425891
If I'm waiting a month or two, I'd rather hold off and see how the 1060 performs first. The power draw issue with the 480's definitely sounds like something that can be fixed with a new crimson release tho.
What modern GPU doesn't besides poorfag ones?
Isn't that the entire point of having PSU plugs?
Shit, I remember the GTX 280 required two 8-pin connectors and it drew around 500w of power

>>343426654
I'm going with 32 for my next build.
Shit's getting more bloated.
Spess Engineers needs around 10 gb or RAM power with planets.
>>343426708
h55 corsair, im cheap as fuck (notice the seagate)
>>343426380
The thing is that it pulls more than the on-spec 75W from the PCI-E slot only. The additional 8 pins connectors aren't involved in that draw.
>>343426654
RAM is so cheap and 16GB is not an unreasonable amount. Even the PS4 and Xbox One have 8GB of RAM.
>>343426415
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

>>343426380
>Isn't that the entire point of having PSU plugs?
Yes.
The 480x is pulling excess power through the PCI slot than what the industry standard is.
>>343426938
well I wouldn't know, last time I bought RAM was 2013 when it was retardedly expensive and 8gb has been enough since then
>>343426870
Damn, well at least your h55 is keeping your CPU cooler than my liquid cool setup, my shit idles at 60-79 degrees, I think something's up with my CPU.
lmao what a disaster

Oh, alright. How did they even fuck that up? I don't recall that ever even being an issue before.
>>343427174
Re-seat it and don't follow any guides about spreading the thermal paste. Just take it off, clean it with alcohol and q-tips or whatever, and put a very small amount in the middle. Then re-seat it

I have done that bretheren, at first I thought the pump wasn't working but I can hear and feel the hoses pumping coolant, also, after re-seating the block many times I ran out of thermal pasta, all I have left is cheap thermal compound from radio shack.
Perhaps one more try with the cheap stuff can't hurt much.
>>343427361
I hear you man, I just keep my PC turned off now and I play portables in the meantime.
>>343427358
>How did they even fuck that up?
My guess is they realised that the card wasn't the 980 killer it was marketed as, and was actually loosing against 970 and even R9 390, but realised it too late into the production and they couldn't change the power inputs anymore.
Which retard buys reference though, that's basically only for benchmarks and optimalization.

>>343427708
people like me that are desperate for a new card
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.

because there's nothing to talk about. his pic is the 960 drawing literally double the power an rx480 does but because its nvidia its ok.
and if youre on the fence, just get it anon it's literally the best card you can get for $200

>one single card
Asus made a faulty third party card, reference design has no issues. I believe that card was discontinued.
Did you realize your image also shows the AMD part taking over 75W 100% of the time while the broken 960 does not?
>Be europeon
>Card costs 300€
>The same price as a 970/390
Why even bother?
>>343426654
Honestly I have 16gb of ram on Windows 10 and it's not enough. Next time I get some cash I'm bumping to 32 gigs. Fucking system and compressed memory can eat my dick.
>>343428240
Not him but did you notice the 960 taking ~260w when the 480 did took 150 max?
>>343428371
That's not "the 960". This problem exists on the Asus Strix 960 card, only.
You cannot compare a faulty third party card to a faulty reference design. No other 960 has this issue.
One thing is a huge issue and one thing is why I learned to avoid asus like 12 years ago
>>343427139
Last time I bought RAM was to upgrade a friend's laptop a few months ago, it was approximately $50 for 16GB.
>>343427712
>can't find anywhere legit talking about this
look at the other threads on /v/ and /g/ stuff is being deleted off places like reddit for damage control.
This is a real issue. Do not ignore this or let AMD fanboys tell you it isn't a real issue

>>343427826
>AMD is the budget-bin bargain thrift-store 2nd-rate bottom-bucket off-brand no-name poor-people choice
Maybe years ago, now AMD is the combination of a shitty architecture, and poor value. Back when Nvidia cards caused housefires, and power consumption was nobody's concern, sure, AMD was questionably cheaper. Nowadays, unless you are talking about the ultra cheap lowest-end stuff, any gaming hardware from AMD might cost you more than buying from Nvidia; because Nvidia managed to release powerful cards that run at lower temperatures and consume less power. AMD on the other hand still run with their ORC philosophy (MORE CORES), runs red hot, and consumes more power, and the gap will keep getting bigger between AMD and Nvidia, this would be worse if it was not because DX12 is currently fucking with Nvidia's performance. This is the only reason why the gap does not seem bigger.
>falling for the poolaris meme
I bought an msi rx480 8gb, and it looks like they're following the reference design on the site. Am I fucked or do we not know?

This, and /g/ was even telling me that you could run two of these puppies on a single 550 PSU.
Ho, imagine people with bronze shit trying to run crossfire right now, possibly we haven't heard more of it because all the people who tried are in a burning ward.
>>343428702
If it's only on 4chan it's not a conspiracy it's bullshit. 100% of the time.

>>343425751
More like Amd trying so hard to 1up nvida by trying to make it cheaper but amd always falls behind.
What's the point of getting a 1080? I'm just going to get a 980 or 980ti when their prices bottom out. Aside from witcher 3 with hairworks on, I can't think of anything I even need the 980 itself for, let alone a 1080.
>>343430190
>tfw AMD housefire meem is now 100% true
anyway, how can you tell that graphic card/MB is trully dead? I can't see anything.

>>343426342
>I'd rather hold off and see how the 1060
So you'd rather not be a retard? I generally go towards AMD but issues or not early adopters are all fucking retarded and deserve whatever shit they get.
>>343431320
d6 error code on the mobo means VGA not detected. The card works fine on the other slot, and used to work fine on the first one.
>>343429297
....except for the multiple hardware review sites listed
if you're too stupid to go and evaluate the information yourself, yes, please buy this card.
>>343428117

Should I get the 480 4GB or 8GB? Does it really make a big difference in terms of FPS?
Also I plan on buying another one in the future.
>>343432260
can I buy your old card off you 7870 here
>>343430190
What kind of pc is that?
>>343432260
I don't think the 480 pushes enough pixels for the 8GB to be relevant.
Then again, it's only like $20 more.

>>343429583
>you could run two of these puppies on a single 550 PSU.
You probably could, assuming a modern i5 or something like that. The 480 is drawing an average of ~165w under load, so even assuming something ridiculous like 200w per card that still leaves 150w for the rest of the system which would be enough
meanwhile first release nvidia cards burn your house down

get off 4chan, you're not cynic enough. To make choices in life based on some anonymous people's shitposting is a wrong way to live.
Every freaking card pulls more than 75W even if they're not supposed to. Who the fuck cares.

So you missed the 960 doing the exact same thing as shown in an image in your reply tree? Good to know you're either full of shit or know shit about this.
>>343425325
Nvidia shills on denial.
>>343425325
You'd think those AMD asshats would notice something like this before releasing the product.
I wondered why it had only a 6pin instead of 8pin like the 1070 even though they have the same 150W TDP
