Hurry up AMD,

I'm waiting for the 480 so I can play the witcher 3 expansion blood and wine.

You wrote 16:00 in your latest post!

Be gracious when you have been posting silliness

No one is being pedantic, we are just pointing out that in every post you have written the wrong time

Just a thought - is it pronounced R10 480 or R-ex 480?

Be lucky to top 60FPS at 1080p

https://live.ea.com/ anyone notice that EA's page design borrows a lot from crimson?

Just turn off some useless post-processing effects and watch your fps sore.

Turn it down to 720p watch those triple figure FPS's. :cool:

Newer video from the chiphell guys with newer bios and driver on an 8GB model.

3.4k graphics score on firestrike ultra giving it fury nano performance.

91C!!! Ouch!!! It reminded me of my old EVGA GTX 470 SC, 91C-94C at all times during gaming was no fun, it was hellish experience with too hot and too noisy GPU dumped heat into my room temp soared to 35C everyday.

Surprised everything Kyle Bennett from HardOCP said was true that Polaris ran too hot and too noisy, AMD is screwed made bad decision to went with Global Foundries 14nm for GPU.

Yup because more blurriness thanks to awful post-processing AA, motion-blur and blur is something we really want and need in our games! :rolleyes:

Without knowing what the fan speed is temps are completely irrelevant. For all we know it could be running at 90C and 0dB. Or it could be loud as f* and running at 60C. Pointless.

He's allegedly running it with a cooler that isn't designed for the card, so hold your horses.

Also the start temperature was 70C when the benchmark starts so almost definitely bad cooler placement if that was the idle temp.

Yup, if the cooler isn't designed for it, it probably isn't making proper contact with the chip.

You also don't see much of a drop in temps between tests.

If you are happy to turn things down I am sure it will be fine. :rolleyes:

The guy supposedly put a 290X cooler on the card to avoid NDA problems...if its not a fake ofc.
SO bringing all the doom talk is a bit too early.
