Radeon RX 480 Benchmarks

[DarkBlade2117]

What does the FE edition run at again in a case?

[FirstArmada]

Everyone needs to remember drivers are still in there infancy and it can only get better from here... i hope

[Khvarrioiren]

What makes me kinda suspicious is that he benchmarked the RX 480 with the FX-8350 system yet the other numbers are from the benchmarks he conducted on the 5820k one.

 

Edit: Seems to fall in line with my expectations anyway. I wasn't expecting the second coming of Jesus, just a 200 buckaroo vidya card.

This was so f*kin' funny, you made me lol so hard

Definitely a little disappointing, though I'll wait and see how other reviewers' cards perform. Those Fallout 4 and ACS benchmarks are significant outliers, I wonder why that's the case.

The other performance is probably driver related if anything, though.

they showed Polaris since fucking January .. it's end of June - what the fuck were they doing all this time?

You tell me, when you are gaming you set everything on max or try to get at 60 fps by lowering few settings. Also few settings are know to hit specific vendor harder than others

Yes, I try everything max out without msaa. If above 30, it's alright. That's my settings though.

 

It's standard in the industry to maxout a game because there's no settings above that. You can then compare because you have a baseline which is maxing out a game.

Thats given but here he is enabling game works settings that hit AMD harder

Drivers, drivers, drivers. Did you see that older games 480 performs worse than the 390 but recent games they are comparable? I think they already did a good job to optimize for recent games. I hope that they continue that trend for future games too.

Investing in marketing, clearly.  AMD's drivers are never in favor of cards that they just release.  It's always been that way.

they developed a OC function that clearly they forgot to teach the reviewers how to use it - assuming it actually works and RX480 is OCable

Not exactly. It's basically slightly worse than a R9 390.

 

I'll admit the hype got to me... it's disappointing.

 

And a 1.5% overclock shot the card from 83C to 91C? What the actual fuck?!

Small node + overclocking = big temp increases from what I've seen.

 

The smaller the process, the closer all the transistors are smashed together, making it harder and harder to dissipate the heat.  It's the reason why the 1080 has serious issues with voltage scaling and getting past that ~2.15 ghz mark.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the OC thing is shotty at the moment.  They'll fix it, but not just yet.

like they "fixed" Crimson - it's still part CCC part .. whatever the fuck that is

on my laptop I don't even bother launching Crimson applet, I go directly CCC

[EzioAuditore]

im so dissapointed....feelsbadman

[3DOSH]

Why dose he not specify what driver he is using]. says 1.5% overclock and dose not say what settings he used to overclock.
this review breaks NDA also snice its 3 hours early

[FatalityDiablo]

Basically Dx12 the 480 is >980, other 99.9% games on Dx11 (or lower) the 480 is <290x/390 .. Conclusion: uppermid range perf/ 199usd, gj AMD! Waiting for Aftermarket coolers for that 1337MHz OC ;-)

Also not Benching the new Total War game in DX12, but uses 11. Then uses DX12 for Tomb Raider, where dx12 is usually slower than DX11.

Odd choices for me there. 
Interesting thing for me is in Fallout 4 and Assa Creed with full Gameworks settings on the 480 pulls well ahead of the 290X and 390 suddenly, but struggles in the other games.

[AlTech]

I CALLED IT! I FUCKING CALLED IT!

 

I said it was gonna be a disappointment and it was!!!!!!!!!!!

[GarnetDevil]

Well I guess all that 480 ruckus shows that my 390X is still a good choice

 

[VanayadGaming]

So in Dx12 it beat the 970 Extreme OC...on stock. That's not bad I think. Remember, it is a 200$ card. It also beat the 390/390x in dx12. As for the OC. This was just one card, with the stock cooler... wait for more benches/other coolers and then we might see something better

And here I was expecting some decent overclocks with this thing. I'll put a little faith in AIB models but from what I've seen (and what you said), I'm second guessing that if it'll ever break 1400 MHz on any of them.

ps: the Ashes result was very disappointing as it's one of AMD's most biased benches

so I guess every game from now on running Dx12 is a "biased amd game" .. rip logic.

the AIB ones won't come out for like a month. For now everyone is stuck with this mess.

XFX has a reference card with an OC @ 1330MHz but yeah, we're gonna have to see how this all goes

AMD used what now? Ashes !!! to show 2 * RX480 beating a GTX1080 at the AMD press event
