Why are so many people hating on RX 480 now...

Why are so many people hating on RX 480 now? It has the best performance per dollar and it runs everything on highest in 1080p.

nvidia faggots are mad the card is good if not better than their beloved 970 but much less.

because it will fry your motherboard

That and it's 8gb and will shit on the 970 in dx12

Never mind that the 750 ti and 960 had the same mobo frying potential which doesn't mean jack shit in the end

im personally waiting a couple more weeks to see non refe coolers and also see what nvidia will do with 1060/1060ti

>Why are so many people hating on RX 480 now?
>Goes over the PCI-E Specifications by a long shot
>Can literally fry your Mainboard
That's why. Also because it's a piece of shit and barely better than the 970 while eating 10 times the electricity

Its useless for 1440p.

>fry your motherboard
wut

i really want a RX470
my 7770 was never good to begin with desu.

said no one ever

Doesn't matter. I bought a 1070 and it doesn't even fit in my case. Have to buy a new case and have to rebuild my computer. Im so fucking angry im shaking.

> Mainboard
Nigger

MMMMMMMMHHHHHHHH

This is a myth.
Yes, while costing $100 less.

Also waiting for the 470, the potential for ultra poorfag tier toasters is amazing.

Can't wait for it to cost 300€

>We skipped long-term overclocking and overvolting tests, since the Radeon RX 480’s power consumption through the PCIe slot jumped to an average of 100W, peaking at 200W. We just didn’t want to do that to our test platform.

>2K and 4K monitors just became affordable
>doesn't count multi-monitor systems
I've never seen a company so happy to be the worst

The card seems fine for the price, but AMD probably overhyped it a bit, which caused some backlash. Hopefully the 1060 can match (or exceed) the 480 performance, but have better tempts and lower power consumption.

>Never mind that the 750 ti and 960 had the same mobo frying potential
No they didn't. Some partner designed cards experienced peaks over spec, this is the reference design averaging over spec. Major difference and a serious blunder on AMD's part, especially since it's looking less and less likely that this issue is limited to only a select few GPUs. Partner boards with 8-pin connectors - Sapphire's Nitro is already confirmed to be one such design - and driver improvements will almost certainly vindicate the 480 before long, but first impressions are crucial.

>barely better than the 970 while eating 10 times the electricity
Except it doesn't. It actually uses less electricity, the problem is that it draws too much from the PCI-E slot.

Meant to quote on that second response.

What are you implying, multimonitor setups game on 1 monitor and use 2nd for something else and if you upgrade from a 1080p 60fps monitor you go 1080p 144hz monitor rather than increase the resolution.
