GTX 1070 Vs RX 480 CF

It's not that it's "not to be the hype", but would you call this consistent? I wonder what the score would be with my current i7-3770.
 

Come on man, you're going to tell me that AMD would put out a test involving their new card meant to bring VR to the masses that wasn't as good as it could be? At the largest show in the US before it's launch? Really?

 

REALLY?

 

200 bucks for 390 level performance is awesome, there's no need to say it will be anywhere near a 1070, which trades blows with a  overclocked 980ti.

Yeah, the SteamVR Performance Test is a load of stinky ass shit. And that's mostly because it gives extremely inconsistent results. 8.9 seems ridiculous on a 290X considering that a 970 is usually anywhere from 6.5-7.3

Actually it was computex in Taiwan, not US. And I'm not at all surprised that they can sell 290X or better performance for $200. We were already headed in that direction when the 290X frequently had price cuts to $200 usd and it's an almost 3 year old chip.

We have two weeks to find out, although I'm hoping for the best, if the card is nearly as good as some websites and benchmarks make it to be, I'm going to consider getting two of them, I expect one to be around the performance of my current 290X tbh though, but at 100-120W power draw and 8GB of memory, gotta admit, it's tempting.
I'm a reasonable person though, I'll wait for actual, legit benchmarks to confirm or debunk the stuff going on around these cards.

If I recall correctly, zMeul was the person to say that the RX 480 will be R9 380X in terms of performance, so many different claims... That's BS though, for sure.
The same thing was with GTX 1080, there were people who thought it'd draw much less power and run at 60 degrees. It obviously ain't true as we all know from the loud, Fanboy Edition cooler making it throttle after some time, though the MSI Gaming X 8G version runs cool and silent which is awesome.

---------------------

What I mean is that I wouldn't be so sure and recommend a 1070 over two RX 480s two weeks before the actual 480 launch, as it may either suprise, or dissapoint us.

Well, that's what I scored. I re-did the test two times more, the score was 8,8 once and 8,9 again the second time ;o

For what it's worth you got a damn good score, but as I've seen and basically analyzed, results seem to be extremely inconsistent, as some can get really good results like you, and some, even with optimal setups, get some shitty scores.

I think 2 RX 480s will be significantly faster than a 1070 in games that support crossfire well, upwards of 15% if it can match an R9 Fury or 390X. However, from my experience not that many games play well with crossfire. And those that do already perform very well on that caliber of a card.

I re-did the test with my new CPU+mobo setup, look at the score... @App4that Sorry but I call BS on that test   It even reports my CPU speed wrong

1070 to avoid the crossfire and AMD issues that may arise. The 480 crossfire may bench better, but in many games the 1070 will have better optimization IMO

That was what I was concerned with comparing a CF solution to a single card solution. While in games that support CF would benefit from two cards, and CF scales better than SLI but it still isn't free from issues. If AMD had a card to compete with the GTX 1070, I might buy it because I kinda like AMD and it would work better in Linux.

 

But when I do build my PC (sometime this fall) I think I'll probably go with a GTX 1070.

That's YOUR test, using YOUR equipment. Valley gives me false information but the benchmark is still used here.

 

But, you're right. Two weeks and the benchmarks are out. And my memory goes past that, as does the bookmark of this topic

Because SteamVR only reads the serial and reports the stock speed of CPU's.... it doesn't even check the current clock speeds...

[alphaproject]

If the AMD can just launch the 480 and actually sell them for the proper prices it should kick a bit of ass because the prices of the 1080 and 1070 are all lies.

 

Every single card is basically the higher MSRP or higher because of the low supply.

 

So AMD can come along and actually have a decent stock and not gouge people.

CF, and SLI uses a lot of bandwidth. It will bottleneck your CPU, so I would go with a more powerful card or just buy one.

Erm no it won't lol 

mom tunning Sli 980tis and don't run into any bandwidth problems 

far from it 

so I highly doubt 2 480's will 

 

ud have to have some seriously powerfully gpus to bottle neck a 4690k

and of u managed to do that u would be running at retarted amounts of fps 

 

 

[jjohnthedon1]

Cba to read all the comments 

but people never recommend cf or Sli in mid tier cards 

only when u have the top line gpu and u need power performance 

ie 980's and upwards

or fury's upwards
