Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

LOL,this thread has more ups and downs than Eastenders.

Many of us expected R9 390X/GTX980 level performance,so as long as the cards are as close to £200 to £225 for the 8GB version as possible,it should be fine.

Plus,we have another 10 days to launch,so I doubt AMD even has the launch drivers fully out until then too.

Thing is how much faster is a 980ti stock over a 980 and hence so is a 1070?

20%?

So basically Gibbo has either confirmed the 480- doesnt match a 980 at stock or you cant get 20% overclock from it to match a stock 1070/980ti.

Either way the bubble has burst
 
Oh, plural. Ugh, still no thank you. Even if the Crossfire profile is working as it should, that's still not a selling point to stay put in my opinion.

Yeah its the games when it doesnt work which makes me want to swap to a single 980ti esp now they have dropped in price.

But a lot of the time it would just be sideways so not worth the money/hassle of swapping.
 
Bubble Burst... Hype Train derailed :(

if the 480x is still around 390x/980 performance it is a big boost in performance for its segment, the 390x was a part from the next segment up. which amd have not released a replacement yet for this new generation of cards.

So i don't see the bother, while it was all fun to have the hype around the possible overclocking capability, even if it is just 390x/980 performance at $200 etc then it is still a big improvement over the 380x it replaces. As that is what it is, a replacement for the previous X80 card, not a new x90 or fury card.

No its not though. It should easility be able to do a 20% overclock eg the 1.5Ghz confirmed by Sapphire yet Gibbo says we are dreaming if we think thats comes close to a 980ti.

If the stock 480 is at 390x/980 performance a 20% overclock should put it exactly at 980ti/1070 performance. That is the worry/concern.

Yes but wouldn't you get better than 980ti performance with 2x480 for approx £400? Even if Xfire fails on you can still swap back to one 480 and still have good performance for the price.

At stock there is a 25% difference between the 980ti and gtx980 at 1440p. A decent clocking gtx980 could in theory reach gtx980ti performance.

Maybe Gibbo is just used to the performance of OC 980ti models which are way faster.

Maybe. But I would be impressed it AMD released a $199 card which when overclocked match a reference 980ti.

Thats one hell of a card for bang for buck.

Yeah, i meant at stock it should be those values.

Otherwise here is some RX480 Pron for everyone. Gibbo needs to beat this with some rx480 bukkake.

Yeah except with 20% to 40% overlcoks if it matches a 980 at stock, then it will be matching a 1070/980ti when overclocked.

Gibbo has just burst that balloon.

Either they dont overclock very well at all or they are only 970 performance at standard in the first places.

Either way they are just a door stop as you may as well buy a 980 which does overclock very well.

An overclocked 980 doesn't match a 980ti.

Why would I pay £300 for the 980? When a 480 will be better in dx12, will run cooler, quieter, improve with drivers and cost less.

You and Humbug were in your own little bubble, you convinced yourselves that it was going to match the 980ti with no real evidence, just rumours.

Speculating about performance is fun, and nothing wrong with been optimistic either. But building your hopes up before any real info appeared is just stupid.

Well according to Gibbo, possible not! The way he has described it, its not going to be any faster than my 290x, just cheaper.

You are forgetting that the GTX 980 Ti run the 1080s pretty close.

a card won't come with an adapter for dual-link DVI, he will need a non reference version. The only adapters for Dual link are active dp to dual link dvi adapters which are around 80 squid.

I paid £15 for one about a year and a half ago for use with my then 3 screen eyefinity setup. Which worked - which meant it was the real deal as I wouldn't have been able to get eyefinity working without it being active dual link.

Just went off to see if they are still easily available and the first result I found was my Dual link cable at <£6.
 
An overclocked 980 doesn't match a 980ti.

Why would I pay £300 for the 980? When a 480 will be better in dx12, will run cooler, quieter, improve with drivers and cost less.

You and Humbug were in your own little bubble, you convinced yourselves that it was going to match the 980ti with no real evidence, just rumours.

Speculating about performance is fun, and nothing wrong with been optimistic either. But building your hopes up before any real info appeared is just stupid.

I just needed the overclocked 480 to be close to a 980ti. Again you have just said and assumed its going to be faster than a 980. Clearly it might not be.
 
Thing is how much faster is a 980ti stock over a 980 and hence so is a 1070?

20%?

So basically Gibbo has either confirmed the 480- doesnt match a 980 at stock or you cant get 20% overclock from it to match a stock 1070/980ti.

Either way the bubble has burst

What bubble - people making OTT predictions and having false expectations.

I pretty much said it would hover around R9 390X levels for months now.

Plenty of people like me have £150 to £200 cards like a GTX960 - at 2560X1440 an R9 390X is nearly double the speed of a GTX960.

I suspect the RX470 might end up being a very nice improvement closer to £150 to £175 too.

I expect it will be 50% faster than the current cards in its price bracket like the GTX960 and R9 380.

Plus even try having an R9 390X in a smaller SFF rig like mine - the cards are huge and the TDP is way too high.

I would have probably gone with a GTX970 but in the end getting a good deal on a GTX960 and me not wanting another card with a weird memory controller(I had the GTX660 which did the same) meant I didn't.

The last set of TPU figures would mean the RX480 is probably at least 20% to 25% faster than a GTX970 for around the same price,so with a shorter card consuming even less power and we know how the GTX970 does in DX12 when compared to an R9 390X,so I expect in newer DX12 titles it would be more.

We also don't know if the final review drivers will add anything to performance yet.

So,personally not dissapointed as it is where I thought it will be.

Bit of a side question, who is running an R9 290 on a 1440p 144hz freesync screen and plays The Division? ive been holding off buying a new monitor as i was waiting on the AMD stuff to compare to Nvidia before vendor locking myself.

Seems I will be sticking with AMD, while im tempted by the 480, i can just buy a screen right now to run my 290 on, i only really play Grim Dawn, D3, Division, Elder Scrolls online and Wow, most of these dont tax the 290, the Division does a bit though.

Just wondering what kinda framerate im going to get on a 290 @ 1440p, im guessing it should be in the Freesync range, but this also makes me think i might aswell trade up my 290 anyhow for a 480 for now til big Vega comes and then move to that?

1440p isn't that demanding, if you cannot use VSR, just calculate -25% fps off 1080p
 
Well according to Gibbo, possible not! The way he has described it, its not going to be any faster than my 290x, just cheaper.

He did say that Xfire "is another matter" or something along those lines so I am guessing they are good cards to run in Xfire and have some major driver and performance advantages with Xfire?
