Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

I can see the new drivers made little difference, shame it is not a good clocker. Never mind, this card will still sell loads.
 
Looks like it's not really a 1440p card. I think I'd just end up disappointed if I don't get something that can do my monitor justice (1070 in all likelihood).

The 4GB looks like brilliant value if you're at 1080p, though.
 
Everyone that thought they would buy one should still buy one, Its about where it was leaked to be, The 480 over the 970 is a better buy now as the 480 has lots of room to improve but the 970 is about at its limits.

Do AMD a favour and buy one.

I wont be but thats because i already have a 780.

My question to you is how can you tell? You can't just look at memory usage figures for your card - that can be full with no effect on performance because what's filling it up is just uncleared cached data which isn't actually needed. You don't clear out old cache until you need to as a rule because it gains you nothing and adds risk that you were wrong about not needing it. So a full memory tells you nothing. Unless you actually do comparison runs with and without a given amount of memory, you can't tell.

I have a variety of GPUs and performance tools - I do a bit of casual game development so have a fairly good idea about that stuff.

GTX780 is a product of its times in that it is geared almost totally towards DX11. As more and more DX12 games are released the gap between older Maxwell GPUs and newer GCN GPUs will widen. So it's tad myopic to only focus on the DX11 performance compared to your 780, have a look at DX12 and your 780 will be vastly inferior.

Which is what I said.
 
Am going to wait on AIB partners and see what they bring out this chip. I feel we can get decent OC results from this GPU. DF did a little OC and was getting extra 10fps
 
Hmm looking at the DX12 performance this could end up being a nice little card in the future, but at the current price it isn't worth it. Looks like GF 14nm FinFet sucks. Witcher 3 performance is especially disappointing. :(
