graphics card Upcoming Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 8GB (Pascal) Vs AMD Radeon R9 490X 8GB (Polaris 10)

[SnoopAkon]

Both these companies will launch their latest architecture based graphics card in couple of months. However as of now AMD is leading in Direct-X 12 performance where as Nvidia is lagging. Also AMD achieving significant performance gain using Async compute. 

 

So, the future of AMD looks better than Nvidia I guess. What you guys thinks about this? Which 1 will be the better buy out of these?

whoever can give an accurate result either is just lucky

 

or have a crystal ball `-`

No1 knows it is not out only time will tell. Maybe amd will go super Saiyan, maybe they won't. We will find out at computex hopefully

[DXMember]

we don't know yet

[Auxafly]

i think AMD will do good since their R9 380 & R9 390 beats the 960 and 970. just a theory though, nvidia might make a comeback

[wolfsbane3083]

I'm sorry but this kind of speculation is pointless until the cards are released and we have accurate benchmark data with working drivers. Until then we might as well say Matrox are gonna kick Nvidia and AMDs ass with their new RT X1000.

a "490x" v "1080" wouldn't even be an accurate comparison since the "1080" isn't the highest end consumer card NVIDIA will offer

RED MEANS MORE FPS

GREEN MEANS MORE ENVIROMENT FRIENDLY

If the previous gens are anything to go by, AMD will likely have the edge in the mid range, and nvidia will likely have the top performing card. This is pure speculation, but fits the pattern that we've seen over the last few gens.

Give me a second to consult the oracle.

And the 490x will be the highest AMD will offer?

Fury == Titan

its not a main branch of their 300 series

Polaris 11 was a thing IIRC

Give me a sec, let me consult me crystal ball here...

There's literally zero way to tell, we have no idea how either will compare to each other. We simply don't know and we won't for another few months.

I hope both sides come out with stellar products and the winner will be the consumers

It's not like either side has made terrible graphics cards lately. Both sides offer great cards.

Not sure if srs

Polaris 11 is looking to be the budget and laptop parts. Polaris 10 should be going against 1070/1080 and Vega is against big Pascal.

Budget not entry level

I am...

300 series includes R5-350-R9-390x/nano then Fury, Fury X 

Then 900 series includes GTX950-GTX980Ti then Titan X

What? 980 ti is a cut down titan x. Besides that, the name is not what matters, the price and performance does. You're just making up arbitrary parameters.
