I think those results are fake as those Graphics scores are way to high. A stock 1080 gets around 21905 on Guru. I mean all the cards seem a little high for stock.
Then again it might not be Firestrike they have used but you would think so.

If that's true then these cards aren't going to hit stores for months.
"AIBs not allowed to show prototype boards." Did anyone pick up on the word "prototype" there? If AIBs don't have final cards yet, then there's no way AMD are launching at E3 either.
It sounds like AIBs are still waiting for AMD to give them final specs so they can start making their cards...!
Perhaps Polaris is on course for a July/August release.
The wait could be longer than we expected. But July/August is still "back to school" after all...
1070 would still beat it but not by that much. Taker 25% of the score and the 1070 would be around 20,000, but I don't think these are are competing products. It would be the 490, or little Vega that the 1070 competes with. That's just a guess btw.
I mean, that's about where I'd think it should be. Just a bit better than 390X.From the same article: "Chart shows the best possible scenario based on those results". It's just a projected on rumours and leaks.
That said, if it were true...
CF = Crossfire
I think some of you have missed that.
But yes, a Vega-based 490 could definitely be well above a 1080. Just depends on how they want to name/range their product line this time around.

If that's a P10 coming in as the 480 at sensible pricing, and nearly Fury performance, then that bodes well for Vega coming in as the 490 at a reasonable price and with mad levels of performance.
I do not think they will price the top tier low, I do think they will be aggressive with the mid/low level as that is where they can claw the market share back and make money with volume.
Still I would like a cheap high performing Vega
Cuz that's worked out for them the past 4-5 years?
Performance leading cards may not be the most bought cards, but they skew brand perception.
Depends when they release them. I think it's quite plausible that AMD could release a 1080-beater. I just don't think we'll see it till Q1 2017, personally.
Well we know for sure it wont be til then or later. They already said Vega is 2017. And we can be mostly confident that Polaris 10 wont be a 1080-beater.
But Nvidia will also be preparing larger cards around that time as well.
CF means crossfire
Seems likely, now. Shame if so. What was all that "Back to school" stuff they were talking about a while ago. If they're planning to have Polaris in laptops before Autumn, how do desktop cards fit into that? Do they normally follow or precede the technology appearing in laptops. I thought it was usually before.
The 1070 wont be 25% slower than the 1080 tough, just because is has 25% less CU. Things never scale that linearly, there are other bottlenecks that will prevent the 1080 reaching true potential above the 1070 specs, and there are a lot of aspects of the 1070 that match the 1080 100% like ROPS. I think 20% slower is safer, 15% under some games, 25% in an extremely compute heavy synthetic test.
Emm yes it has actually. Does your business make more money than AMD lol? They don't sell as many units as Nvidia but they are still successful.
