It will help for sure, if it holds like this the next shipments will arrive and go down £10-£20.

Based on the stream of the RX 480 (He seemed to have OC'd it too) Ludashi benchmark (Don't know its creditability and with early drivers), scoring 13.9k graphics score.
My stock 980Ti score 24K. OC'd 25.6K. Making the 980Ti not far off double the performance.
Now it will be half the price of a 980Ti/1070, so I do wonder how it will match up bang for buck with other cards like 1070. But this is still early and we need to wait until its fully released for final scores.

That's really not how most tech enthusiasts think though - we don't buy things a generation behind because they're more 'proven', we prefer new technologies that might be of use in the future because they're less likely to go obsolete quickly. NVidia have frightened some with how quickly previous generation cards slowed in relative performance - the 780ti was a stonkingly powerful card, but AMD cards caught up and then over took the performance on newer games.. as did nVidia's newer cards with a much lower price point. Some of us worry the 970 is going to suffer from the same, especially with the need for memory tricks.
In which case I might be wrong again, AMD might not get 2 days in the Sun.
That score is about right then as 1 480 is suppose to be roughly half the speed of a 1080 and since the 980ti is about the same as a 1080 that seems to fall in line. Well based off of AMDs presentation slide they showed showing a crossfire 480 vs 1080 in ashes.

We would need someone to run some AMD cards too though. We have no clue whether it is an agnostic benchmark or favours one uarch over another. Also is it a DX9,DX10,DX11 or DX12 benchmark??
It was DX11. I didn't screen it but there is a big yellow DX11 in the top right of the bench.
AMD Fury X scores 18.9K according to Chiphells forums
https://www.chiphell.com/thread-1319341-1-1.html
With Firestrike Ultra 39xx score. Is that what score the Furty X gets? If so it does seem inline with most leaks.

Googled using search by images i saw a 390 8gb dunno if x version or not or if overclocked etc but it seemed to have scored 170000 ish.
I think that china benchmark mixes cpu and gpu more than say a dedicated for gpu only benchmark. So take scores with grain of salt. Id have thought.
None of that matters, at all.
AMD have pitted themselves directly against Nvidia with a mediocre card in a price bracket that's very current.
It doesn't mater that a few developers go on twitter and say AMD is better at DX12 and VR, even those potential buyers who read that and agree would still go for the 970 because its a proven Nvidia card and AMD have allsorts of problems.
The DX12 and VR arguments are abstract and distant to most people, its not relevant to the vast majority, they don't give a crap.
All people care about is how much do I get for my money and how reliable is the brand.
Right now AND or Nvidia you get the same for your money and everyone knows not to touch AMD unless there really cheap and you don't mind driver headaches. <Not my words, that's the whole internet.
AMD needed to do something that was actually disruptive, something attention grabbing and irresistible.
what they have actually done is more of the same.

Good spot,but is it the same version of the benchmark,as that post is one year old??
I would try and run this on my GTX960 to show a lower end for the score,but the software worries me!
Not sure on date of program but the graphics bench seems old, hence peaking at 650 fps with the 98Ti.
It was a bugger to uninstall, bloat ware in Chinese.
Using scaling from 390X vs Fury X benchmarks, it'd put the RX 480 slightly below a 390X. Would hope it beats it come release and driver updates and in the hands of someone who wouldn't bork his card on a live stream.
I don't see how a reasonably expected 25% price drop for 390X level (and likely a tad more) performance isn't improved perf/£ - on prices that are already reduced to clear stock and are more than competitive on price/perf to the nearest competitor the 980.
It benched the CPU and GFX separately. First score is CPU, second is GPU, thats why I circled it in red.
Oh i know all that, i mean it looks like its benched separately and all that but its Chinese aint it, it might be crap and not really separate them decently like western benchmark tools hehe.
Haha, I think it is a highly regarded benching tool over there.
EDIT: Recommended! not regarded.

Yup pretty much, that's why they are going to go under before this decade finishes. They have looked like amateurs for decade in the CPU space, now this amateur form has carried over to they GPU division.
Their GPU market share now must be less than 20% yet they bring 3rd revision of their 290 card and call it a day. Small Vega is months away and when it comes with will probably just barely match the 1070/1080 that will be on the market for months. I wonder who is going to buy small Vega when most enthusiasts have already spent their money on Nvidia.
AMD can count their lucky stars that Nvidia is pricing their cards so high. If they didn't AMD would be dead and buried. Still don't matter, they will just go down more slowly. Their Zen CPU will also disappoint, no way these amateurs will outperform Intel.
You can only last so long in the technology space without breakthrough products. Really wanted to buy AMD GPU, but going with Nvidia. No point even waiting for small Vega.
