Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched at $199

a card that's slow at dx11 and dx12? sounds like a real contest.
The Rx 480 comes in 4gb and 8gb versions.
The 4gb version is $199,the 8gb versions should be $230,that leaves a $300 card.
Now i dont think going from 4gb to 8gb should cost $100,so there is gonna be a card after the rx480,we dont know yet if it will be the rx480x or rx490.
I think the Rx 470 will proberly use polaris 11 chip,but its only a guess.
AMD released 6850 and 6870 before the 6950 and 6970. The 6870 was marginally slower than the existing top end AMD HD 5870 but was released and a much cheaper price. So there are many parallels in how Polaris, Vega release is being planned.

Not seen any of thosw runours.
It is a fantastic time that Nvidia has sgown to the publoc GP106 (1060) dies with a manufacturing facility date earlier than the 1080 cards that are shipping. GP106 is the gpu used in Drive PX2 that Nvidia publicly announced will be shipping in small quantities to Auto OEM partners.
Therefore it is quite realistic to believe Gefirce1060 cards are ready for I'm inept release on a schedule dictated by Nvidia. There are a few leaks pointing to July but nothing definitive. Q4 would be extremely unlikely. You might be comused with the GP102 chip used for the Titan, but Q4 seems early.

I think performance figures on games like Battlefield One and Deus EX: ManKind are going to be huge factors in swaying the decisions of GPU consumers purchases moving past Summer.
Whoever has the upper hand with price/performance in games like these will most likely get a lot more sales in the low/mid/high end at least.

The 6870/50 were launched on October 22nd and the 6950/70 arrived nearly 8 weeks later on December 15.
Good point! Lol
Paper launch? But still it says launched. Cmon 29th im dieing for more news!
It's not even a paper launch. We got an announcement and half of a single benchmark. Somebody got way too excited with their thread titles.
Im thinking that the $300 will be an Rx 485 (not the 490, that will be saved for vega)
RX 480 4GB = $200
RX 480 8GB = $230
RX 485 4GB = $270 (if the even bother with this)
RX 485 8GB = $300
If this is the case the RX 485 id hope with be just shy of the 1070 in terms of performance.

Any new news about the RX480??
I bought the Gigabyte G1 Gaming today and it will be with me tomorrow but yer, stock isn't particularly plentiful. New nodes, so I expect a bit of a shortage on cards in truth and wouldn't surprise me to see the same for the 480 when it launches. The Fury X was also the same and a bit of a mess of a launch with whine problems galore on the coolers and a nightmare trying to buy one. Maybe AMD will be launching with excess this time but not long to go.
Nope.
Yes tonga 285 2gb was an example of a harvested die, which also was a prototype way to get yield rates on 3584 and 4096 shader dies. Then the rebranded 380 tonga came out with 4gb and then later the 380x (2048). Of course apple had allocation on 2048 tonga.
Timeline was
Sep 2014 285
June 2015 380
Nov 2015 380x.
Again that was months afterwards.
I cannot think of a single occasion where a company has announced a graphics card held it up to the masses and launched it alongside a faster version that hadn't been mentioned at the announcement.
Not saying it isn't going to happen, but in my opinion it is very very unlikely.
Nope.
If it was mentioned that the 285 had Cu's disabled and there would be a faster card, then it not relevant to this point anyway, as the there has been no mention of anything faster than the RX480 from AMD at that announcement.
That is my point.
?? I'm confused. On release day of official amd reviews etc it was confirmed by amd that 285 wasn't the full chip. If on release day of polaris 10 amd confirm that the rx480 is or isn't a full chip then that's when we'll know.
Edit more examples of my point
Like I said in.this post a while back.

We haven't got any gaming benchmarks for the 480 yet so who knows?
