I'm really disappointed to see so many AMD apologists who were expressly expecting more not say a bad word about this and just spend all their time defending it.
I get that you dont want your favored brand to take a hit and of course there's the 'well if Nvidia have it all their way' arguments, but it all still strikes me as quite dishonest.
The card is disappointing. Not bad at all, just disappointing given the expectations and circumstances. I also get that there's probably a reasonable amount of unjustified negativity, but still. Seems like that is just giving some an excuse to find positives to point out.
Disappointing is subjective, I mean most people here have 390s/970s or better so I get that its a disappointing release after all the hype of it being Nano level performance. However for someone looking for a new build or an upgrade from a lower card like a 750ti, the 480 is much more exciting.
