RX 480 Performance

[Dalokie]

This is what I found online, and I think it's highly reasonable.

Many people didn't see my post yesterday so here it is.

[iiNNeX]

For the money that is very good.

[agent114]

looking forward to Polaris, hoping red team can put pressure on nvidia to make better value cards. plus the rx 480 looks soo good for the price

[AresKrieger]

Wait for actual reviews just like with the two nvidia cards, since info prior to actual reviews tends to be wrong, skewed or at the very least unverifiable.

[ThinkWithPortals]

We should take this with a pinch of salt, but the RX 480 looks highly promising. I'm probably getting one if overseas pricing isn't hugely more than US MSRP.

[No]

if you can sell your 280x for a decent price (170$+) then it's worth it

performance measured doing what?!

ashes of the singularity at 4K?!

what about say, DOOM...or Tomb Raider at 1080p?

wait for reviews...

the "benchmarks" shown by AMD was done using 1080p monitors with VSR/DSR up to 1440p.

[Demiqas]

I find that very hard to believe, either the prices going to be higher or they messed with the benchmarks.

i know they showed that two of these cards are slightly faster than a GTX1080 in AoTS and people went nuts...

which makes sense... the performance is as expected if going by current gen cards performance numbers. There really is nothing out of the extraordinairy with their benches, sadly.

You've activated his trap card

If those benchmarks are true, AMD did a great job.

But where is GTX 1070 in this comparison?

 

I higly doubt it will be like that. 200$ for almost 980 ti performance?

its not there, because the GTX 1070 would provide a better "bang for your buck" comparison then the 1080.

 

1070 = 350-400 USD.

2x 480 = 398 USD

 

1070 + some OC = equal or marginally slower then 2x 480.

 

Then all the plebs who watched reviews from 2005 and decided that 10 years of CF/SLI has done nothing to improve the experience and thus post shit about CF/SLI based on 10 year old outdated info run into this thread chanting

That is actually normal with a node shrink. Nvidia's price gouging is making people think the opposite is normal. The 7850 came out at $250 and have gtx 580 performance going from 40nm to 28nm.

WHAT are you telling me CF and SLI are good, I can't believe that.

 

 

KAPPA  

[Slate :P]

Im a bit of a noob with this stuff but im guessing that this is showing that its basically a 980 for half the price?

There wouldn't be people running SLI / CF if it wasn't . Systems with problems, however many there may be, are likely the exception.

I ran SLI 78xx for a year with no problem and I am planning to get CF again when Vega is out.
