Can we agree that AMD has saved pc gaming?

Nvidia is going bankrupt by 2018 remember this!

Amd is actually 2 years Ahead of nvidia when it comes to technology

It's a neat card for it's price range but I'm more interested in the 490

Except it isn't.

grow up nvidia shill

...

Case closed. Shit card is shit.

>Amd is actually 2 years Ahead of nvidia when it comes to technology
Is that why their new card is slower, louder and hotter than a 2 year old gtx 970?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ARE YOU THIS STUPID ?? HAHAHA NVIDIA DRONES ARE SO FUCKING STUPID ITS FUNNY


read a book really..

If they are ahead, why are they afraid of head on competition and choose to avoid high end market?

Yeah wrong.
filtered and ignored nvidia shill

They are afraid of all the house fires a high end polaris would cause

hearthstone and Path of Exile already run fine on older cards

I need to see good upcoming games before I'll care about the graphics card warz

It just makes me sad. I remember when my friend bough a 9800pro and I was so fucking jealous.

AMD is just crap these days.

wow sick argument

>upgrading from a 5830 to 1070
Will I notice a difference?

Thank you Pajeet, 12 rupees have been deposited into your account. Remember, you get a bonus if you deny the failed PCI-E specification.

>he fell for the pci-E specification is bad meme

grow the fuck up... it has litterally NOTHING to say to the consumer dumb fuck

>People bashing a $200 card for performing like +$300 cards

ISHYGDDT

the reference model does have really shitty cooling though

Averaged out to be in-between a 970 and a 980 and that's with project cars gimpworks massively effecting the numbers. Considering that's it's $199 and a reference card with a shit cooler with launch drivers, it's pretty good.

I saw this exact same thread on Sup Forums and Sup Forums like two seconds ago, fuck off jew.

Project Cars isn't a part of pcgamer's benchmarks.

Nice try.

>performing like a card that was released at $330 2 years ago
fixed

the 300 dollar card is two years old. and is cheaper than the rx 480 (in europe at least)

The 480 is pretty neat but you're retarded OP (even if merely pretending).

Nothing wrong here.

what bizzare world do you live in where nvidia ever lowers prices?

nvidia still charges 200$ for a 960

AMD FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH

reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4qfwd4/rx480_fails_pcie_specification/

AMD's new budget card fails PCI-E specifications and will likely cause degradation to your motherboard over time. Also if you don't have a fast i7 (remember, budget card) you'll get worse performance than a 970 because of shit drivers that chew through cpu cycles

75watt is the standard compliance that manufacture needs to get, minimum, to be certified.
They are free to go over the spec as they pleased provided they are build to handle it.

>a bugdet motherboard won't go over the 72watt on a 16-lane PCI-E given the maximum power a standard single 12v rail can provide

tldr; unless you have a shitty, no name motherboard you don't have to worry

If the motherboard were not build to handle the power it set to deliver, then they should throw that shit out anyway.

>implying the people buying this shitty low end card will have anything but a shitty, no name motherboard

POO

It was never broken. Just launch day missing some rain textures

>mobo is shit, thinking of replacing it
>gpu fucking dies
>thinking of getting the new amd card
>watch some vids of it
>the ports on the back doesnt support my shit monitor

249 dollars for sure, and no OC capacity.

A shitty low end motherboard will have shitty connector that will only allow it draw a maximum 75watt over a single 12v rail.
Were not talking about a mere shit here, were talking about a turd amongst turd.
Its not easy to get this kind of turd in the open market really, maybe somewhere in deepest part of China.

Same shit can be said about powersupply unit.
You would be retarded if you want that shit in your fucking PC.

>which explain a disparity between the reviewers
Every reviewer that has measured PCI-E power has noticed the issue. There is no disparity, except the few watts here and there that arise because testing methodologies differ, and there are differences in the GPUs (some may run at higher voltages, etc).

Also
>I asked around our friends in the motherboard business for some feedback on this issue - is it something that users should be concerned about or are modern day motherboards built to handle this type of variance? One vendor told me directly that while spikes as high as 95 watts of power draw through the PCIE connection are tolerated without issue, sustained power draw at that kind of level would likely cause damage. The pins and connectors are the most likely failure points - he didn’t seem concerned about the traces on the board as they had enough copper in the power plane to withstand the current.

>unless you have a shitty, no name motherboard you don't have to worry
Yeah, no. Don't remember all the VRM failure incidents on AMD motherboards some years back? They weren't no name motherboards.

overclock.net/a/database-of-motherboard-vrm-failure-incidents

Besides, do you think someone buying a $200 GPU is going to spend money on a decent mobo?

...

If only there was some cheap converter you could buy

>A shitty low end motherboard will have shitty connector that will only allow it draw a maximum 75watt over a single 12v rail.
This is not how motherboards work.

Why do people who clearly know nothing feel the need to share their "knowledge". Just shut up already.

I-is that a thing? I'm sorry, user. I'm not that good with pc stuff which is why I ended up with a shit mobo

AMDrones, why would you buy a 480 over a 1070?

The 1070 is by FAAAAAAAR the better card, and with the 480 being overpriced like fuck, why not spend the extra 100 bucks and learn what gaming in Ultra looks like.

>itt kiddos so insecure about their video card purchases they feel the need to defend themselves
>"you fell for ___ meme"
>"gtfo shill"
>x-idiot vs y-drone

You guys are class A acts.

Extra $200.

>worse than GTX 970
>overheats to 90+ degrees
>draws more power from PCIE slot and literally crashes computers and fries motherboards

AMD KEKS WERE HYPED FOR THIS HAHAHA.

Literally google "(port you have on monitor) (port you have on GPU) converter".

480 is seeing like 300 dollar pricing.
Only about 100 buck to hit the 1070.

>Amd is actually 2 years Ahead of nvidia when it comes to technology

So what you're saying is that in 2 years drivers will be unnecessary?

where the fuck is the 1070 400?

its fucking 500 everywhere

All of the decent 1070s are a minimum of $200 more. And that's if they're even in stock.

Gonna have to wait for aftermarket 480s I guess.

Those aren't arguments. Can't believe Nvidia is willing to pay you shills to put so little effort into this.

In fact, I'm buying two 480s now just to spite you Nvidiots. Xfire 480s are proven to outperform a 1080, even before overclocking

can a a DVI-D to HDMI adaptor give me 144fps? HDMI can only handle so much bandwidth and is limited to 60.

>two years ahead

They wish.
The 14nm architecture they have is fucking laughable.
The amount of power that card consumes for its performance is easily last gen.
>yfw AMD needs 600w to get 1080 performance on 14nm.

>he hasn't heard about the pci-e debacle and how the 480 is going to get gimped to shit because it will burst into flames
almost got one too, dodged that bullet

savage

If you buy from scalpers maybe. But that applies to 1070 too.

You could get a 480 for $200. The cheapest 1070 is $400 currently.

Yeah, nvidia fucked up. I'd rather have a 1070 than a 480 but I'm not willing to wait however many weeks to find one that's reasonably priced and in stock. Not into getting price gouged.

>tfw you just bought gtx 1080

HDMI 2.0 can do 120Hz which is pretty damn close.

Why so sad, user?

You literally have the best consumer grade GPU on the market.

>card destroys your PC by pumping 200W through PCI-e
>barely on par with a 2 years old GTX3.5
Well, I wanted to believe at least. I wish intel jumps into GPU market.

>Every reviewer that has measured PCI-E power has noticed the issue.

Every reviewer that tested this all have powerful, multi lanes and expensive motherboard on their bench.
I'm talking about a disparity between some reviews that somehow have lower power limit and draw which is most likely because of their respective motherboard.

>The pins and connectors are the most likely failure points

Which concern the overall quality build of a standard motherboard, which he is grossly underestimate.

>overclock.net/a/database-of-motherboard-vrm-failure-incidents
>VRM failure on CPU

Which not the topic at hand, also this is all on the motherboard manufacture side and not AMD where their shitty VRAM were below the advertised spec.
You could also look at the GPU Vram issue tho, which is much more related.

That is how it work.
A standard 12v on the 24-pin motherboard connector can draw up to 75watt per rail due to their contact material and quality.
PCI-E lanes were fed through these lanes.

Cheap mobo wouldn't waste extra choker and shit like that on the second rail if it only have a single 16-lane PCI-E.

>tfw bought a Founders card on release day
Barely any buyers remorse.

The 1070 isn't thermally limited overclock wise, and you can make a fan curve that keeps it cool at 2.1.

Problem is, even now there are a few games that bottleneck my 2500k (RoT, Syndicate)

>Why so sad, user?

Because he could've gone crossfire with two 480s instead which would give him better performance for less money.

I just bought an MSI one off Newegg for $430.

Was gonna buy a 1080 but decided to use the extra money to upgrade my processor.

You gotta just shop around for da deals mang. Don't buy the cards that are like, OC MODE, GAMING MODE, EXTREME MODE. They hike up the price by $70 when you can just do it yourself.

>The card is shit
>Yeah but it's CHEAP shit

>le retail price of $200 meme
>no OC
>AMD getting fucked by awful optimizing for many games

ayy senpai-desu~

>crossfire
Stuttery shit.

>AMD makes new card
>People go apeshit like "AMDoes what NVIDIAint"
>they say Nvidia will be bancrupt soon
>a year later: Amd isn't doing so well
>People blame it on shitty drivers and that nvidiacards are doing better in performance because them
>2 Years later
>AMD makes new card...
>People go apeshit like "AMDoes what NVIDIAint"...
>Mfw it's now 2004
>Mfw it isn't even called AMD yet

So who here is actually older than 12 to learn from history?

At this point, we BOTH know that's not true.


Not to mention that anyone with a brain knows that one card at 95% performance is way better than 100% with two.

...

At those prices, only an idiot who doesn't understand how easy overclocking is would get the 480.

>You could get a 480 for $200
Need source.

>It was never broken.
You can stop now.

>can actively damage your hardware
>on par with a 2 years old card at best
>those aren't arguments

Just a general reminder you should stop pretending to know what you're talking about.

There's nothing wrong with budget cards. I paid $120 for my GTX 750Ti and I've never regretted it for a moment.

$200 (when you can actually get them at that price) is great for what you get out of the 480. It's a little shady that they were trying to pass it off like a 1080-killer with their crossfire meme, but it's not a bad deal for its price, once they fix it.

If you want to frie your mobo, sure

FUCK LIVING IN EUROPE.

The 1070 is a billion dollars>:(

Wooow I'm just so glad that a 200$ card performs the same as last years 300$ card. Oh thats just so wonderful.

Fuck the reference card.
AMD is fucking retarded when they slammed this card with a single 6peg and a shitty cooler.

This GPU should have 8peg and clocked at 1400mhz and it will trade blows with 980 just like that.
Waiting for custom board, another 2 weeks or more fuck.

>posting anime
Yeah fuck off fat nerd virgin

More like 250 because the 4G version wasn't tested yet.

Also draws more power than a fucking 1070 while being twice less powerful.

seriously, it's like that in east asia too.

玄人志向 (kuroutoshikou) is selling a "cost down" model that runs about 560USD but they sell out super quick and I'm afraid "cost down" is code for "made cheaply"

Those are some low as fuck 1070 clocks.

Shit, they boost up to 1850 out of the box and sit at 2.0-2.1 pretty easily.

Even the Founders does that pretty well.

need a 970 oc in this graph, for the lultz

Hello.

I am the AMD killer.

>no OC capacity
Testing is pointing to a power draw ceiling. 8-pin partner board designs like the Sapphire Nitro will test the card's true mettle.

>Also draws more power than a fucking 1070
Tone down the shilling, user

You might hurt yourself

Pretty sure modern motherboard will shut down when it went overvolatge on its component.
Looking at link it seems that Asus mobo back then already have this feature with only a single questionable report.

So yeah, I don't think frying is an issue ever since fermi/phenom era.

My brother just got a 1070 for 675USD because he had an integrated graphics card

1080 costs around 1050USD here. It's absolutely absurd.
