Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
i very much doubt it, AMD cannot allow price gouging for the 480 at least for reference and basic custom cooler, that would undermine their whole strategy, but custom overclock cards will probably see 30-40£ premium as you said.
The 2 options:
1) there is a full 40CU higher clocked 480X for $300
2) $230 is the base price, AIB cards with more premium cooker and mauve higher clocks.
I am very excited for the mauve premium cooker version.
how is that significant gains when a gpu 40% slower becomes 20% slower ? if 1080 was any good in async it wouldn't have allowed the fury to gain 20% on it.

So because a 1080 is already good in DX11 and just as good in DX12, its a bad thing that it stays good in both when the Fury becomes awful in DX11 and only gets anywhere near its capability in specifically optimised DX12 titles?
Gains against the 980Ti that is. Normally the 1080 is only about 25-30% faster than the 980Ti but in Hitman DX12 it pulls away further to 40%.

Look at this as well^. Big gains in DX12 compared to maxwell. 44% faster than a 980Ti using Async.

"200+ FPS on Polaris and Vulkan"
I think that's possible @ 1080P Ultra. Doom on my overclocked 290X runs about 120fps in many areas with an average of about 85 fps. With Vulkan it should get a decent boost.
Or maybe they are talking about the full Polaris?
It's probably another stupid crossfire comparison. $500 of 480 gets 200FPS at 1080 under some settings.
Lol, on my phone.
Crossfire support in Vulkan already? That's extremely impressive then, as it's not crossfire then; it's Explicit Multi-Adapter. Which means idTech coded that into their game engine.
so all nvidia needs to do to fool ppl of a false performance of it's new line up, is to leave older gen unoptimized ?
no but seriously it makes more sense to judge a vendor's improvement on a product by comparing it to it's competitor's.
20% is the usual gain from AMD in async, fury took the 20% like they usualy do, now see where the nvidia line up lands, 1080 standing still, 980ti went down by 15%, i think it's a lot more accurate than the way you look at it

What? My repsonse was just in reponse to Gregster,'s post, stating that the RX480 would have to be 20% faster than the Fury X in DX12 to beat the 1080.

yes i know, and i just responded because i thought it was inaccurate, 1080 didnt gain through async over 980ti, but the latter lost efficiency to where it's supposed to be thats all.

Looking to be between 970 and 980. Doesn't look like its anywhere near a Ti. Also doesnt look like it will get near a Fury.
However, nobody really knows exactly yet.
ah man sounds like a rebadged 290/390...

It's nothing like a rebadge. It's new architecture with performance similar to 390/390x or somewhere along the lines.
Pascal would be considered more of a rebadge in comparison yet it's not as it does have some improvements. Polaris is pretty much brand new in all departments.
1070 rebadged 980Ti, 1080 rebadged OC TitanX, guess we all have to wait for next year
