Evolution of the 480 announcement and release from an AMDrones perspective:
>It's gonna be a cheaper and more efficient 970. >a week passes >Man with overclocking this thing is going to match a 980! >another week passes >DUDE THIS THING IS GOING TO NEARLY RIVAL A 1070!!!! AMD AMD AMD AMD! >actual card is benched, it's shit
I hope that it's not shit though. AMD needs a coup. If it actually is equal to a 970 at a cheap price, then it's fine enough.
Andrew Hernandez
b-but I'll buy 4 480s and beat SLI 1080s
Ayden Martin
I just want a cheap card that's better than my current one.
Oliver Adams
Will it be quiet?
Evan Cox
Wasn't it already confirmed that it's performance will match the 970 and that's it?

>tfw I have an asus gtx 1080 founders and tesla c2075 >tfw I haven't used an AMD card in 15 years
Jacob Jenkins
Source for real benchmarks? You don't have it because you're lying. Stupid faggot lol.
Carter Turner

Anthony Wood
Noise is ultimately dependent on the cooler on it. For AMD cards you might look into something like Sapphire or MSI for quiet coolers. ASUS AMD cards have shit noise and cooling so don't bother with those.
Jaxson Richardson
I thought pc was above console wars
Carson Russell
There's some leaked benchmarks. Suppose to be like a 980.

Kevin Long
does it feel good in the pee pee?

Xavier Perez
only nvidia fanboys, the rest of the userbase doesn't give a shit

You can never again think of the word Ay-Em-Dee without hearing it in a thick Paki accent.
Joshua Diaz
So wheres the source
Anthony Price
if this thing performs similarly to a 980gtx for that price I'd be all over it, this is coming from someone with an aging 670gtx
Angel Torres
970 but half the price and actual 4gb
Jose Lewis
I'm on a 970, it's good but the memory did limit it under Windows 7 for newer games and the Anisotropic Filtering isn't as good on the Nvidia cards as it is on the AMD cards. If it's anything similar, it'll be great and the lower power usage would also be welcome. This Gigabyte GTX 970 outputs a lot of heat into the room due to the 3 fans it has.
Jose Price
What did you expect from poointheloo technology.
I mean really.
Matthew Morales
>Reference cooler No.
James Diaz
I don't give a shit you autistic faggot. I just want a card that's better than the one I currently have for cheap. If 480 can supply that, then it's okay.
I'm a student who is paying for my own books and tuition, I can't be dropping 700 fucking bucks on a GPU. This will be good enough.
Matthew Bennett
Do you like AMD?
Michael Campbell
> 1080 founders
you're retarded for buying a card with such an extreme margin.
like giving your money away to jen-hsun the billionaire?
Zachary Wright
>paying for my own books >paying >for college books >in 2016 Good luck in College buddy your gonna need it
Dominic Wood
i'll just wait for aftermarket. I hate all refrence cards desu
Ayden Sullivan
So where are these benchmarks proving it's shit?
The price/performance for the card is great.
Sounds more like you're a buttmad nvidia shill.
Cooper Cruz
>Cheaper and more efficient then a 970
Is this an achievement? It's been well over a year since the 970 released.
Robert Miller
>he doesn't know you can't even bring the clock to 1400
Colton Davis
Still a great card for the money, but yeah AMD fans always have to ruin every release with hype. Personally I just bought a 1080 for my new build but if I was more price constrained I'd have gotten a 480.
