Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

30-40% :)

980 OC vs 980Ti OC and the Ti is a good 30-40% ahead, they are super quick cards.

Both 980 and 980Ti also both overclock extremely well. The custom 980 and 980Ti offered big performance boost over reference 980 and 980Ti, typically 20% faster out the box compared to reference versions.

Lets remember 980Ti reference was 1075MHz boost, yet custom cards were 1200-1400MHz region and pretty much every 980Ti could OC beyond 1400MHz with some even over 1500MHz. The 980Ti in particular gained huge performance from the OC, it is one of the best overclocking cards of all time when nearly an additional 40% performance comes from OC alone. The 980 was also very similar in such ability. :)

Proves nothing at all. None of your cards are at stock Nvidia factory settings and i doubt they are cpu bottlenecked with a 6700k at 4.5ghz. Lets leave it there with your 2 at varying boosts show a 40% gap in performance.

TPU are not good in how they show results and often bottleneck them.

I think you need to give this up as there are plenty of 980 v 980 Ti results on these forums that show the difference in performance.

Even Gibbo has posted that the 980 Ti is a beast of a card.

You do also realise that my 980 had an advantage in being watercooled too and that counted for nothing.

So he met the board partners amd presumably bought stock. I'm certain he knows what he's buying ;)

Please don't start the hype train again :p

We are Kings of VGA, that won't change when it comes to AMD!

So the moment I get a sniff of custom cards they shall be online. I know board partners have them but whether they want to launch is another thing, I have even held the Sapphire ones when I was in Asia couple weeks ago.

Thats tells me he hasnt got any yet..

..and i was never on the hype train to begin with ;)

Earlier in the thread it was stated that AMD were mad at WCCFtech for blabbing too much about the RX480's super duper performance, so AMD have obviously been on the blower to Gibbo to try and put the lid on things until the launch.

Everyone back on the hype train!

<sees train full of wild yelling fans with red AMD shirts chanting some sports chant I cant understand>

I don't need to i can show you results of a gtx980 being faster than a stock 980ti if you want in our own bench thread. If the stock gap was 40% this would not be possible.

102. Score 14491, GPU 980 @1560/2001, GFX Score 17185, Physics Score 13565, Combined Score 6991, CPU 4790k @4.9, faheemrazzaq, Post No.829 - Link Drivers 361.75

111. Score 13776, GPU 980 Ti @1000/1753, GFX Score 16521, Physics Score 11617, Combined Score 7004, CPU 4790k @4.4, savagesam117, Post No.348 - Link Drivers 353.30

This is the only stock 980ti in the thread.

This is the reason people think a RX 480 overclocked could possibly get close to a 980ti.

Gibbo does the 480 come with a displayport cable in the box,seeing as the reference card,doesnt have dvi,or will i need to buy one seperately ?

I'd like to know this too, if i get a 480 i need to hook up 2 monitors, maybe 3.. and i only see 1 HDMI port on the 480.. i have 3x HDMI and 1x DVI monitor.. 2 of these are using Mobo iGPU ports on my current setup.

Hi there


Sorry to burst bubbles guys but I hold 980Ti in a very high regard. Maxwell was and is incredible.

Do some of you realise how powerful and truly fast 980Ti is? How overclockable they are?

I think only a handful of very select posters were in this bubble that has since been popped. The rest of us just got tired of telling them over and over again that the 480 wasn't going to be a 1070 competitor.

And your point ?

Check the clockspeeds lol.
 
You can get around 16444 GFX with a 4770k at only 4300mhz, I did granted it aint fully stable but it goes through Firestrike no problems. That 17k score is pretty underwhelming for his clockspeed.
 
TheRealDeal said:
The gap certainly is not 40% at stock or the gtx980 could not go past it. This is not rocket science. No review sites show this 40% either. Once overclocked i can see the gap growing to 40% which i am not disputing.

So the bigger GPU has a 40% advantage when both are overclocked.

You do realise it is harder to overclock bigger GPUs.

All you have done is underline the 40% performance difference between the cards.
