Posted July 12, 2016 Does anyone know who they are and whether they're reliable? I want to know if I should jump off the hype train now. My heart can only take so much.

Posted July 12, 2016 Wow, not bad if this is consistent. It's also incredibly sad how crippling the reference model truly was. Sometimes I get builder's itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 12, 2016 Since my 390 was good for 60fps locked, not sure I'd trust this. If anyone asks you never saw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this benchmark had a few variables in it, idk. We should wait for more reviews of course. Sometimes I get builder's itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Nitro 390 they list which is the model I had is way down. So are the 970s. Somethings up with this test If anyone asks you never saw me.

I don't remember either the 390 or 970 being able to do 60 fps on ultra in Witcher 3. They also don't list AA settings.

Different publications get different numbers because they don't all use the same settings. This doesn't mean I'm arguing in favor of PurePC since their findings with the Nitro 480 can't be corroborated yet. I'm just pointing out that the argument that they're not reliable because their numbers are different from another reviewer is not a sound one. Hell, PCPer gets as high as 80 fps with the 480, 970 and 390.

Posted July 12, 2016 I wonder if those 480s can hit 2ghz with exotic cooling. i5 2400 | ASUS RTX 4090 TUF OC | Seasonic 1200W Prime Gold | WD Green 120gb | WD Blue 1tb | some ram | a random case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2016 @ivan134 I'm hoping at least the clock speeds are correct. Would place the RX 480 where it needs to be. Then it would just be a matter of pricing.

We're still recovering from Polaris getting faster with every new leak. If they hadn't released it when they did, we would be at 5000 MHz now. But yea, would be interesting to see how far they could go with exotic cooling.

With the 490 being duel GPU, can you smell two 480s on a single PCB? If they really can hit 1500mhz that would be a fun card to own. If anyone asks you never saw me.

I would be interested in it once explicit multi GPU gets to where it needs to be and who knows how long that will take. Until then, I'm not even considering the 490. I would have liked to sell my 480 when Vega comes out and get that instead. If these OC numbers hold true, I'll hang onto it until RX 500 series. My main game right now is Overwatch anyway, and 480 is perfect for that.

The interesting bit will be what the announced clock speeds are for the Nitros. Hopefully we have that soon. And Nvidia seems to think multi GPU support is going to get a boost through support from Microsoft and developers. I for one hope they're right. Makes things interesting.
