Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
The GTX 1070 will be a big seller but I think the RX 480 will sell a lot more.

GTX 1060 will have to be good and cheap!

Looks great at the mid range. Looking forward to seeing how performance steaks up

I'll be honest, people are very suprised at the pricing of this card... when in reality they shouldn't be. This is pretty much the pricing of the previous R9 380 cards. If anything, this pricing is what was expected. Now if it were above £200, then we'd have issues on our hands.
Of course the big question is how well will it perform? Arund 970/390 level (my prediction)? Or a bit more than that? Bring on the benchmarks!

till you get the electricity bill
Anyway jokes aside it looks cracking quite excited for vega
Hmm considering these are being marketed for VR - does that mean they do run most games well on 1440p (70fps+)? Not sure if I should wait or just get a GTX 1070 now (or when they arrive), to hold me over until Vega/Zen. $199 sure is tempting.
Wish we had more info to go on.

Wait for the reviews and you'll see how good the perf per watt is at 1440p.

Will we likely see benchmarks on June 29th when NDA is lifted?
Sadly this doesnt seem to be a card for me.
Maybe the 490x?? if that is ever released. I'm excited to Vega but impatient also. Nvidia can price gouge its 1080 to high heaven until Vega comes out which is sad for consumers. I'm happy at 1080p just now. Don't want to go to 1440p for scaling issues. Will be going 4K later this year or early next.

Could you crossfire with previous generation cards? No idea how that would work or if it's even possible to say right now, but would a RX480 & 390X crossfire be possible?
yep for the price i might get a pair of 8gb, i remember back in the day i bought a pair of cheap 5770's that did pretty good and was cheaper than the 5870

Whaaaaaat? Did not expect $199. Feel like I upgraded my 7970 prematurely.
