AMD's RX 480 hits half the performance of a Titan X (Pascal) at 8K resolution

[cozz]

TweakTown has just released benchmarks of Gears of War 4 at a whopping resolution of  7680x2160 (8K)

 

As you can see in the graph below the RX 480 hits half the performance of NVIDIA's pascal based Titan X, which is fucking insane considering the Titan X costs 5 times more.

yeah AMD's GPU architecture is great right now... if only they would make a higher end card lol

I think we can expect higher end cards with the Vega architecture,  HOPEFULLY, i'm finally excited to see what the future holds for AMD!

where's the power consumption graph? All joking about crap efficiency aside, This news bodes well for those not happy with 1080p and 1440p, or even 4K for that matter.

[Enderman]

Since when did performance scale with price??

Since never.

7 - 13 fps sure doesn't make me happy.

[ddswh1pk0s]

honestly that graph is completely useless considering none of the cards can even achieve cinematic 30 fps

agree. AMD cost 1 of 6th of the price of TITAN XP

[cozz]

These scores are purely just to show what a card can push out, of course no one is going to play at 8K right now, you can't even hit 20 frames, not playable at all, but it just shows where our current cards place.

And so the wait for the RX 490 continues...

[ARikozuM]

I find this to be completely useless considering that price has never been a good measure of a GPU's performance.

The RX 490 should be good but you should be more excited for the vega architecture where we see AMD pump out higher end cards

It's not necessarily comparing the prices of the cards, it's comparing the scores that you can achieve when you spend 5 times less.

But won't RX 490 be a VEGA card?

Not too sure,  guess we'll have to just wait and see

If not, I guess I'll just have to buy the Fury X v2 .

[Orangeator]

Still waiting here to purchase a RX 490X. Lol.

[Grinners]

7680x2160 

 

We calling this 8k now???

Brb vertical pixels irrelevant.

Brb doing benchmark at 7680x1 (8k)

Watch, it'll be the AMD Fury X, the successor of the Radeon R9 Fury X. In honor of the Geforce GTX Titan X and NVidia Titan X, the 3DS and the NEW! 3DS, and the Razer Blade Stealth with the Razer Blade Stealth. Shitty product names all around!

It's 8k because reasons. IDk, but it's 16x 1080p though.

And the 730 costs <10% less than the 770, yet gets 20% the performance. We can't compare AMD to Nvidia since the architectures may have some under-the-hood features that we don't know about.

Actual 8k is 16 times the pixels of1080.

 

7680x2160 is only 8 times. Hence me saying it is not 8k.

At 8K, memory bandwidth is very heavily taxed. I think all this shows you is that the Titan XP has about twice the effective memory bandwidth of the RX 480. Which... it does.

So... You're saying that the R9 Fury X will be succeeded by... the RX Fury X... and then the RXI Fury X?
