rx 480 Why RX 480 IS NOT A LETDOWN (MOST BANG FOR BUCK)

[Chandres]

So, I was looking around 4k Uniengine Benckmarks and did this chart of the cards with the most bang for the buck.

The GTX 970 benchmarks hwere hard to find so I did it my self.

(Din't include 300 series GPU AMD due to no price drops yet, also really colse to Nvidia ones)

TITAN X IS SUCH A BAD VALUE

Reply if any suggestions

Wheres the R9 380, 380X, 390, 390X, Fury, Fury Nano and Fury X?

Waiting for price drops

As a reminder to anyone who reads this thread. Don't just factor in the price of the GPU to the price of the other GPU's. Calculate the price of the computer with one GPU and the price of the computer with another GPU THEN divide by frames (or figure frames then divide by price, don't really matter.). you can often get very different results.

All of the benchmarks are with an i5 6600k neither way CPU bound games are bottlenecked by cpu not GPU

It's awesome to see a card for that cheap do so well. I really think AMD hit a home run here. Not to mention putting some serious pressure on nvidia. 

 

Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the GTX 1060

Right, really good bang for buck still not better on Price to Performance as GTX 1070 still cheaper

1060 comes out... on July 7th? if I remember right? 7th or 9th? I know it's close

Nvidia might be having an event on July 7th, celebrating the 10 series GPUs. Could see the 1060 there, why?

It's not a letdown, it's just that it was overhyped and AMD made false claims that it can match $500 GPUs. If they can fix the PCI-E power draw issue it will be an excellent value card before Nvidia releases a competitor.

2 480 = 1080

They've never said one card can match $500 cards. They were showing it off with crossfire.

I think what AMD meant by that was the launch price of the GTX 970/GTX 980.

Currently with little driver optimization and no OC, it does match the 970. But I think that with both of those things being fixed.

Or they were meaning that too.

I should add @Pandalf and @JelleDekkers is that AMD was also heavily focusing on VR too.

Could've been in VR, but I remember the claim that it can match current $500 solutions. Still, going Crossfire is not beneficial and with the power draw through PCI-E can be dangerous, especially with overclock. Going with a non-reference GTX 1070 and overclocking it in order to achieve similar or better performance without all multi-gpu issues is much wiser imo. I really nope non-reference GPUs address the power draw issue or I'm scraping the RX 480 from my list completely.

I'll say it isn't a let down once the prices have dropped to what is promised, atm the cheapest I can get it is $330 that will ship to South Africa

[Flavortown2k16]

Why does the title say ''most'' when the best bang for buck is 1070 according to your chart. Also 480 wasnt a let down unless you were a amd fanboy with unrealistic expectations

Because of the overall price of the card

if you go watch the release presentation, on the left side of the graph it says RX480- 2x 

Which edged out the 1080 in that game. Either way, it's an awesome deal. 

And right now from the benchmarks we've seen, the gtx 970 (that zotac version that has super high clock speeds), only beats it by less than 2%. 

But that's against the reference 480. I'm hoping it'll actually beat the GTX970 when we see the 3rd parties come out with custom PCB's, a higher power limit, 

and better cooling. 

Either way, it's one hell of a deal

Like Nvidia's OC claim for 2.1 GHz at 67c?

 

Not entirely...

480 * 2 = $480 + $150 CF Motherboard = $630

not to mention if you unlock the power throttle, this might explains hardwarecanucks golden card
