Polish magazines RX480 benchmarks leaked - performance under 970

[d0nsen]

 

This screenshot of a polish magazine was posted to /r/hardware a few hours ago. There is some speculation around polaris drivers and outdated drivers but so far it looks like a turd unfortunately.

Overclocked 970. Also a poor benchmark, note the 380X outperforming the 970 in one instance.

[BbsMentos]

If these are legit that is gonna fall quickly lol

[AresKrieger]

Look just like the previous "leak" don't believe anything until tomorrow, because until then nothing is certain

[Megahurt]

Those numbers are in line with the 470 performance leaks, I think there's been a mistake somewhere here.

[Misanthrope]

There was also a video of gta V with the alleged 480 lagging quite behind the 970. I concur it could be drivers but also it could be AMD, to the surprise of nobody, cherry picked results and games. 

 

Probably a bit of both. 

[Morgan MLGman]

Well, this doesn't seem like a proper benchmark, so I'd ignore it. I am from Poland so I understand everything there, and it's flawed.

 

1. They don't even know names for the FireStrike benchmarks.

2. They OC'd the 380X, the 970 and not the 480

3. The testbench CPU is an 6600K, not an i7, to prevent any potential bottlenecks

4. I have no idea why the fuck they benched World of Tanks as it's a CPU-bound game that's not GPU demanding at all and can be played on a haswell i-gpu

5. The 480 still beats an OC'd (!) 970 in FireStrike Extreme.

6. I've never seen this newspaper. Might be fake.

380X perf for 380X price .. who knew 

 

hint hint all those months ago when I told you 480 will be at around 380X perf 

[VagabondWraith]

Ouch. AMD regressing here. Progression not regression.

How a 480 beating an OC'd GTX 970 in FireStrike Extreme is a 380X performance?

yet is shows its faster then a OC 380X by about 20%? and that looks like a bad review.

lol. That makes no sense. That would be like saying the upcoming 1060 performs like a 960 because it also has a 60. While the 1060 replaces the 960, there will be no performance improvements and it'll cost the same, so buy it just because.

 

The fakeness of this "Polish magazine" is astounding.

"We tested this card in Firestrike Extreme, Firestrike Extreme and Firestrike Extreme. The results are wildly different but that makes sense. These other cards were tested in completely different benchmarks but still comparable for some reason."

bad review as I can't seem to be able to find those exact results in FutureMark results database!? 

[Sintezza]

Since everything is still under NDA and no cards can be boaght yet.

I can highly say that this is just clickbait.

Its just a pile of nonsense.

Just wait for benchmarks from reputable sources.

Because its highly unlike and very doubtfull that AMD would send review samples out to somebody in Poland.

Looking at the two games that aren't CPU bottlenecked, it's 45 vs. 33 (+36%) and 50 vs. 40 (+25%). And that's with an overclocked 380X.

 

In the Firestrike benchmarks it's a 20-22% gap.

that and the list of issues someone posted above. I don't think its wrong just done badly that makes the results seem all over the place.

don't you mean 10FPS on average at best!?

please stop using percentages to make it look bigger than it actually is - 10FPS avg on non synthetic run is well within margin of error

A 25% difference is "within margin of error"? I'd hate to fly a plane engineered by you.

[gilang01]

The numbers doesn't look right to me. an OC 380x beating an OC 970? Witcher 3 at those FPS?

50 FPS vs. 40 FPS is a big difference. Using percentages does not make it look bigger than it is, it makes it look exactly how big it actually is, better than an FPS difference ever could. A 10 FPS difference is a big deal at 50 vs. 40 but wouldn't really matter for 120 vs. 130 FPS.

 

And it's not within the margin of error when the other game shows a 36% performance gain. So stop being such an intolerable fanboy.

Let's just wait before we rush to any conclusions...

 

One more day...

How the hell can this possibly be clickbait? Of course its a rumor but how is a hotlinked picture of a printed magazine clickbait?

Because the original person who released this on the www did this for as much clicks as possible probably?

 

Like i said everything is still under NDA, so its very unlikely that somebody in Poland allready tested these cards and put an article in a magazine about it.

no it's not

50 is just like everything between 30 and 60 - you will have tearing and stutter all over; you either cap at 30 or 60, if you can

Guess you haven't heard of Freesync and G-Sync. Also people were playing without Vsync for years, and there's nothing I would call stuttering at 50 FPS, assuming the framerate (and frame time) is reasonably stable.
