AMD RX 580 and RX 560 leak

No. The 480 did NOT have HDMI 2 at launch

It did and i think you are thinking about Fury X as people were not happy about it.

Proof

You are correct. The RX480 came with HDMI 2.0a to be exact.

The "a" revision is important because it meant support for HDR over HDMI, which was meant to be added in HDMI 2.1, but was made available through a revision over 2.0 (hence 2.0a). I think we can all agree the RX480 supported HDR at launch, so there is no way it had a lower version than 2.0a (as those simply don't support HDR, not even HDMI 2.0).

According to Toms it was HDMI 2.0b
 
The Rx480/580 ain't a bad rebrand as architecture wise it probably above what Nvidia have on the market as far as the new Api's are concerned. It's never good and i agree with most of his points. Would be nice to see Vega from top to bottom but as he says AMD don't really have the money and need to make cash some how. Nvidia do it and they are loaded.

LMAO... Yeah, I was. I spent ages looking at cards around that time and I couldn't get a 480 model I wanted at the time and 1060s we silly money so I went 1070 as two fingers up to both companies. I was also considering 390s, fury's and had a 380, so that is likely where I got confused.

Hell, I was wrong, better than trying to pointlessly argue like so many do on here when the obvious is pointed out.

P.s. sold my 1070 strix now, so considering 580 or Vega now for my R5 system when I build it shortly. Only considering 580 if it gets at least 1500 commonly.
 
Great video, but sadly it paints a bad picture of the industry. I am surprised that GTX 1060 outsells RX 480 by 5 to 1 though. I didn't really know that the "average" graphics card buyer could be uninformed. I expect people buying components to look at reviews etc. rather than buying nvidia because it's nvidia.

They do. Launch day reviews of the 480:

  • Are all without ReLive drivers (so there goes 10% performance from what it's actually capable of).
  • Are all about how they can damage your motherboard's by overdrawing current from the slot (never mind EVGA cards actually blowing up).
  • Are NEVER updated later (check the ranking of the top Anadtech post for 480 vs 1060)
You need to understand that 70% of the gaming market are teenagers. Think about 90% of your classmates when you were a young (or currently if you're not older) and try to understand the level of maturity that goes into such decisions. It's not about having the better card. It's about having the 'cooler' card that makes you part of the 'in' crowd. That card, is an Nvidia card.

EDIT: The smarter kids apparently go on to be like Jim and make passionate videos about how competition was ruined. What he doesn't understand is that kids nowadays still mock him and downvote his videos. :D

Well said, respect :)
 
waiting to see reviews to see if AMD managed to pull a Maxwell to Pascal change - to be fair wasn't huge amaounts but power decrease was impressive and then Boost 3.0 loveit or hate it.

AMD doesn't help its self with poor poor marketing and the budget to go along with it. Hard to get rid of Stigma's

Also launch reviews were with the crap stock cooler and Nvidia had custom GTX1060 cards out for review before the custom RX480 ones.
 
Was this linked before?

1439MHz out of the box, so yeah the 580 will be faster than the 480.
If they manago squeeze out +10% thats good enough.
 
The AORUS XTR bodes well for the overclockability of the 580 cards, and may even make the 570 cards the best price to performance assuming they are not binning the chips heavily. Maybe we will see 1450+ MHz on reasonable AIB partner cards without paying the XTR premium etc.
