I'm surprised that the price is that low amd maybe it can compete with the 1080 in normal games. When could we see benchmarks. 

well according to the demo two of them competes with a 1080, not a single one

Good thing I haven't pulled the trigger for that R9 380. I'll wait until some of the partner OEMs release their own versions of the 480.

At 50% GPU usage i'm thinking the 480 will be just under a GTX 1070, though i am only going off that benchmark they used which focuses on AMD's great compute performance in DX12, actual gaming across the board though i am unsure.

let us all remember now and today, computers do not like abuse, they will fight back!

It's a replacement for the 380/960 tier. It's going to be about equivalent to a 390/970. Looking at it in this lens, it's around $20 more expensive than than the 380 was. It's not actually that good value at all. It just looks it because everyone is still thinking of it as a 390 for $199, rather than a new generation of product in the x80 tier.

Well in a line up perspective, no, but in terms of what it is supposed to do, its probably not too shabby at all IMO.

It's not any more powerful than you should have expected. It's pretty standard that each product jumps a tier in performance each generation. Anything else and it would have been a disaster for AMD.

What does this mean is it better than like what r9 380 series by what margin I want reviews NOW!! Also good on LTT for the scoop everyone is going to have to reference him.

Oh boy. Now I'm getting all excited. Better than or equal performance as the R9 390x for $200? That's a winning combination right there.

At some benchies, out benchmarking GTX 980 in 3dmark FS.

Really that makes my plans a whole lot cheaper I can do 1440p gaming without upgrading everything I think/hope.

Considering they announced it in the stream before LTT got their video up ( :( ) probably not

Unfortunately it's not quite what I want as it's a bit too low end unless I wanted to go 1080p but I almost kind of feel that an i5 6600K is then a bit overkill for 1080p 60hz. So yeah, I think I might go GTX 1070 if I build before Vega drops.

Even if it had been more equivalent to the GTX 1070? Which I know the R9 (well RX now)  80(X) line isn't meant to compete with the GTX (x)x70 line but considering that seems to be all they're releasing right now is the lower end stuff (pretty much no mid range stuff) it is a little disappointing. But for those on super low budgets or gaming at 1080p, it'll be a great card.

I think you're being a bit biased and pessimistic. I'm aware at the jumping a tick idea, but I think it would be a wise idea to be a bit more open minded with this coming generation. Hopefully AMD overdelivers once the benchmarks come out.

I'm being neither. I just find it hard to get excited over really low end stuff for this reason. It's just last generations's performance, but down a price point. That's all the 1060 will be too.

No way I am not upgrading to an intel build if thats the case I wanted to use my cpu along a bit longer anyways until there is a game changer in the cpu market.

Please tell everyone here how this is REALLY LOW END?

Do you game at 4K or something? for 1080P the 480 will be a serious pixel cruncher.

Maybe. On the other hand, the 390X is the same exact product as the 290X, and you can get used 290Xs for dirt cheap second hand. In all likelihood, half the price as the 480 or something that is in raw performance terms the same. The 480 comes with a warranty, and much lower power and heat and everything, but otherwise there's no difference. I'm sure the 490 and 490X are coming, and they are quite exciting.

Well since you mention it, yes actually, I do game at 4K, but that's not what I'm talking about. It's the replacement for the 380/960. It's low end. It's not more a "serious pixel cruncher" than the 970 or 390, only this time it's a bit cheaper, but still more expensive than you could get a  290X for.

Idk man, Crossfire Polaris could mean a  low price 14nm process setup w/ comparable performance to the new Nvidia cards. That seems pretty attractive to me.

You've always been able to do that. 760 SLi was more powerful than a 780 for the same price, 960 SLI was more powerful than a 980 for less, same goes for the 380, 270X. In fact the 270X was an extreme case of that, dual 270Xs was ridiculously cheap compared to a 290X a couple of years ago.

 

It does, however, excite me as a direction to move in. If AMD force multi-GPU onto the consoles, and devs are forced to write for it then multi-GPU on PC gets a lot more interesting.

It may be wishful thinking, but what if multi-GPU is the new multi-core CPU
