>took back
Never had it in the first place. Not a loyalist to either company, before you start memeing at me.
>Never had
The R9 270X had the crown not long again bro, Also a $199 card at release, even if it was just a rebrand.
Are you really saying the R9 270X had more mainstream appeal than any comparable nvidia card? That's pretty deluded.
I have a 6870 and it starts to feel old.
I play in 1080p.
Is this THE card I've been looking for ?
Im saying, at the time, it was the best card available for $200 and I wasn't the only one, it was chosen by many reviewers on many sites at the time.
Now we're getting the 480 for $199 in a couple weeks while the 1080 is $600-$700 and not even avaliable right now
It's OK for the price but those TFLOP numbers are lower than the beefed up versions of current-gen consoles that are going to be released.
I'm a little bit disappointed DESU. Hopefully they reveal a higher-end card otherwise I'm staying with the green team.
>not even avaliable right now
It came out last week.
They are, While the specs aren't released there will be a RX490
This is clearly a budget card, esp for those who want to get into VR but dont have the cash for top end GPUs
yea it did, now please, show me a website that has it in stock for MSRP. Sure I could buy one on ebay for 20% markup, I guess that counts.
I'm terribly disappointed by this. I have a 4K FreeSync monitor and was eagerly anticipating AMD releasing some new cards that are actually fast and I was willing to spend money for them too. Guess I'll have to pay NVIDIA instead and give up on FreeSync for the time being.
>claims 1080 isn't out yet
>acts like 480 is already here
>the literal facts are the exact opposite, even if 1080s are currently out of stock for selling so well to idiots willing to buy reference
Smells like shill in here.
not mad at all. it's good competition. Still going for the 1070 though based on the current benchmarks and my budget
PS4K is only 4.2Tflop and cant overclock so.....no
>I didn't say it wasn't released, I said you cant buy it without paying a retard tax, but nvidiots are used to that
>Clearly said the 480 will be released in a few weeks
Smells like #Nvidiadefenseforse in here
It still means it's available so it does count. I'm waiting a few months, probably going to get the 1080.
As for VR performance all future cards should have the ability to play them well now that the architecture is built in to these cards to not get a performance hit when rendering multiple angles, so any cheaper cards in the future should be fine for it if you're willing to wait.
I've heard 5.4 TFLOP and the XBone+ will be 6 TFLOP.
Of course I may be mistaken, I don't think anything official has been announced yet.
...
So you bought a 4k monitor yet you had no idea that Vega wouldn't be out for a while and you're unwilling to crossfire two 480s for laughably good performance/$? Sounds like you're just an idiot or impatient.
single card setup is always better
>implying scalpers mean anything
Scalpers scalp everything, AMD, nvidia, PCs, consoles, clothing, tickets, jews gonna jew.
You could xfire two 480s, it'll be cheaper and faster then a 1080, and itll actually be available on release date.
2304 shaders with dual issue single precision floating point, running at 911Mhz = 4.19 Tflop/s
This is just blatant shilling now, man. All you're missing is the ™s.
It means you cannot purchase a 1080 for MSRP unless you know a guy who knows a guy who works at a store and will set one aside for ya.
Pretty bad when its supposed to be the best Flagship card in the world at the moment
enjoy your microstutter
So there are official numbers? Link?
I know rite, I mean, How can he just sit there and type something true, doesn't he know where he is right now.
"The truth hurts" - you
YES! FINALLY A MEME
Not a single 3.5 reference though, hmmmmm
>No thread on the RX480 yet?
Fuck off already. I'm planning to buy the 490 once its out but just fuck off already. We don't need the hundredth thread on Nvidia or AMD's new cards that will just devolve into shitposting.
I don't understand why you would feel bad for retards who want to buy reference cards. No one should want this. I didn't even think they'd sell out, honestly, I mean with the price point and all.
Proving that you are 18.
ATi cards used to demolish Nvidia cards
A catalog search for RX480 shows only OP and a thread made 20 mins ago
Freesync fixes microstutter
I've got 290X CF, getting 2 RX 480s would pretty much be no upgrade at all.
Also CF support is fucking crap. AMD gives no fucks. They pretend to, but they actually don't.
When I bought my monitor FreeSync was basically a bonus, it was the cheapest 4K 60Hz IPS screen anyway, it just happened to come with FreeSync. There wasn't any information available back then about what AMD was actually going to release, I was expecting them to release a high-end product as they have for the last few generations and as NVIDIA has done with the 1080.
Fucc.
Looking into the R9 480 meme.
I'm a fucking poorfag and 8niggabyrtes of vram for 200 shekels sounds a bit too good to be true if it's actually on par with say a 980.
Fuck my nigs. Help a fellow poorfag out.
What cheap CPU, Mobo and ram combo can I use to make a poor man's gaming rig? My budget is around 700-800 euroshekels and for the first time in years this actually seems like an achievable goal thanks to that cheap GPU
I WANT TO BELIEVE.
>running out of stock
>put up prices to slow down sales
>not knowing how supply/demand works
Just wait a month or 2 FFS!
29, no they didn't. At best they were competitive.
I am proud that Raja designed this product, I know it will sell well in India
dont you need a new monitor for that?
they were ahead for about a year and then have been on a pretty steady decline for the past 11 years. At it's peak it only had 55% of the market. I wouldn't call that a crownm unless you're talking about the paper one you get from BK.
...
31 here. ATi stomped the shit out of Nvidia in performance per dollar almost every generation except one. (8000 series if my memory serves correctly)
2 cards barely pushing past a single card. That's ATi's bread and butter.
The GTX 1080 costs more than three times as much as the RX 480.
>thread on the RX480
where the fuck have you been
...
2 advertised midrange cards $400
1 advertised best of the best high end card $699(Where Available)
Sounds like some delicious bread and fantastic butter
Barely above a 1080 in the game that favors AMD most heavily. I'd love to see FCAT results on that CF setup though. I'm almost certain that single 1080 has lower frame time variance and a higher 99th percentile FPS.
Going for multi-GPU with slow cards is essentially always a mistake compared to buying a single card that's just as fast.
Nvidia will have to lower their MSRP all around soon.
Win/Win for us
source on that claim
Are most nvidia fanbois blind when it comes to the dollar sign and the amount directly after?
But they did.. from like 1999 to 2008
And the biggest difference under use has been a difference of less than 10 frames on most games and programs
are you lying?
it changes with liquid vr though where each gpu's renders the scene for each eye
Do you know what freesync does?
>AMDrones still they are relevant in the modern tech era
I haven't owned NVIDIA cards since the 8800s, those were excellent though. I've learned (by buying a CF setup myself) that being a penny pinching retard doesn't pay off when it comes down to getting amazing multi-GPU deals on paper. An extra $200 for a better gaming experience for 2+ years until the next upgrade is of no consequence to me or to anyone with a decent source of income.
Too bad there aren't any worthwhile actual games to play in VR yet.
vsync at all frequencies and doesnt lock framerates.
now link a source that says it fixes microstutter
FreeSync doesn't include magical frame pacing, don't be retarded. If you've got 1 frame rendering at 33ms and the next at 16ms, you're still going to get a stuttery mess with FS too, but there won't be any tearing. You'll get rid of some judder which will make it look smoother, but it does fucking nothing to microstutter caused by frame time variance.
Not him
but
Micro-stutters are caused by the monitor being unable to refresh the screen at the same rate as it's rendered, which causes it to tear as some parts are displayed before others, if you can increase the refresh rate of the monitor, it reduces the chance of this happening.
I have one. Great card even today desu. Handles my U2515H fine.
Dont really get your point....
It's not $200 extra, $400 is the cost of TWO 480s. Which not only outperform one 1080, also cost $200+ less then the 1080.
So not only is it cheaper, it outperforms the gtx, yet your argument is "I don't care I'm rich so Ill buy the 1080"?
Honest advice bruh. Get a locked i5 (skylake if you can afford the ddr4) and basic non-z series mobo and use integrated graphics until the 480 drops. 8gb ram with good reviews, 212 evo or similar, decent atx case with good reviews (i like fractal stuff), a smallish ssd for your OS and a tb hdd for storage. Splurge on a nice platinum series seasonic psu that will last you like 10 years. Easy as that.
Don't bother spending extra on planning to oc your cpu. You won't be cpu bound in most anything you do if you're a real poorfag.
Another user made this for me.
Swap the AMD processor with the 15 6500 you say?
Absolutely. The FX series has always been niche and is very weak at single threaded tasks. If you can afford any i5 go for it. Something like a 4460 and an H97 series motherboard should only cost you about 50-60 euros more. Use the stock cooler if you need to and that will save you another 20-30 for now.
It's $200 extra for a 1080, if we're going by MSRP.
The 1080 is "outperformed" (note: may actually be less smooth in practice due to microstutter) in the one title that favors AMD most heavily. I'd love to see those RX 480s in a game that favors NVIDIA, how would they do in TW3? How about GTA V where that Pro Duo showed absolutely horrendous frame time results?
Also, the scaling is fucking shit, going from ~40FPS to ~60FPS, around 50% higher FPS for 100% extra money. Amazing. If a game doesn't support CF/DX12 multi-GPU, you're absolutely fucked too.
My point is that $200 isn't much for what will very, VERY likely end up offering a better overall experience and less CF glitches and late support for multi-GPU. I'm not rich either, an extra $200 over 2 years or however long you wait until upgrading GPUs really isn't all that much. You're not rich if you can afford to spend $200.
Or go with the 6500 and a skylake motherboard, just make sure you then buy ddr4 ram instead of the ddr3 the fx or haswell cpus use. This option will be a little bit faster but a bit more expensive.
freesync doesnt magically increase the refresh rate of your monitor.
MSRP RX 480 = $200
MSRP GTX 1080 = $600
Open your calculator application.
CF doesn't fuck up nearly as much as it did.
No thread? Not import maybe. We know its blowing as every shit from AMD the cuck company, for cuck people, curry peoplo gtfo.
Not him but what point are you trying to make? Are you ESL? He pretty clearly is talking about the $400 cost total of two 480 cards and that saving $200 up front isn't worth the headaches of dealing with CF.
A literal Prabhjeeth in our midst.
Am I being trolled or are you actually this stupid?
2x RX 480 = $400
GTX 1080 = $600
1080 costs $200 more for similar performance in terms of average FPS (which doesn't say much).
Yeah it does. Overwatch at 4K is a microstuttery mess on 290X CF, even if I drop all settings and get FPS in the 120-150 range.
TW3 Blood & Wine stutters horribly in CF if some HUD elements are displayed. Yeah, something is fucked about HUD elements of all things. Dynamic water simulation (waves/ripples) is also broken in CF and has been broken for over a year now. Will probably never be fixed.
ITT fanboys who constantly say 3.5GB VRAM isn't enough shill for an xfire 4GB setup over a single card 8GB solution based on a benchmark that heavily favors AMD

WEW LAD
Saving 33% cost for similar performance doesn't say much?
Why even post in this thread if you aren't worried about price/performance? Its the entire OP.
No, average FPS doesn't say much, not price. 64.2 FPS (2x RX480) could easily be less smooth than 60.3 FPS (single GPU GTX 1080) if the frame time variance is better.
I don't particularly care about your taste or your opinion on mine.
This looks good.
But I kinda want this case instead
sicomputers.nl
For the price I think this fucks that case in the ass aesthetics wise.
As for the mobo, looks functional but a little on the ugly side.
Can I swap it out for link related and have similar results?
afuture.nl
This is exactly what I'm saying, yes.
keep changing your argument, oods are you'll be right one of these times.
That's a Z board meant for overclocking. It'll work great, just realize you're overpaying a little bit for a feature you may never use unless you get the K version of that i5. I'm not into windowed cases but if that's your thing go for it.
>AotS
OK, I don't support any vendor because supporting a company is fucking stupid since all companies just want to make you lose your money to them.
But this AotS bullshit is getting pretty old. How the hell did a game absolutely nobody plays and which is completely sponsored by one vendor became a standard benchmark? Atleast back in 2007 people actually played Crysis and it looked god damn good unlike AotS.
1.25/10
Or 0.5 out of 4.
Is Ashes of Singularity the most important game of the year if not the decade?
>I have a 6870 and it starts to feel old.I play in 1080p.Is this THE card I've been looking for ?
I have a 6950 unlocked to 6970 and it is pretty much the card I was looking for, provided they'll have a shorter length version. My case can't take those retarded 30cm long cards, too full with HDDs.
I need moar fucking leaks! The wait is killing me! I cannot wait 6 more days!
>people actually played Crysis
I agree that it looked good but come on man nobody could even run it for like 4 years
390 overclocked is
buy a better case next time
crysis still looks good...
Gotta need a source on that image.
>buy a better case next time
I would if they still made good cases. Fucking nothing has decent hdd suspension anymore, even the "silent" cases have a super thin grommet that supresses fuck all noise. When I tried moving to a Fractal R5, the entire case was vibrating due to the hard drives.
Fuck that, I'm keeping my P183.
you can buy super grommets that fit's any screwholes.
oh and on that note, I can fit in a 30cm card no problem, but only either by removing the hdd cage, or by keeping the card in the bottom pcie slot (just about fits below the bottom hdd.
fucking where?
>you can buy super grommets that fit's any screwholes.
Yeah, shitty ones like this that don't absorb fuck all vibration. They are goddamn useless.
I suppose it's a moot point since in a year or two SSDs will reach price parity with HDDs and I'll be changing all my 2-3tb drives to those.
Its a shitton better than what Nvidia have chosen as their go to benchmark.
Ashes is actually a game that were build for pc from the groundup, and make full use of the technology that is available.
Rise of Tomb Rider on the other hand is a shitty console port that run poorly on AMD card (memory leak issue for AMD card, even though its not used to the fullest that drag the min framerate down to a single digit) with a DX12 patch that for some reason caused a lost of performance on all card that doesn't have 8GB or memory.
I'll take AMD Ashes result over Nvidia RoTR bragging.
>Its a shitton better than what Nvidia have chosen as their go to benchmark.
But people actually play RotR and Witcher 3. I don't know anyone who plays AotS but plenty of people who play RotR or Witcher 3.
AotS is ugly as fuck and there is no reason the game should run as bad as it does on any hardware. I really hate how they lie about no other game being the same scale because I played a ton of SupCom back in the day and AotS looks like a shitty SupCom clone.
usually websites that sell pc case modding stuff. check forums like overclockers and hardocp which sites sponsor case modders or if they have a list of good webshops
>i bought one product and it was shit therefore all other products in the same category are also shit
you might wanna spend a bit more than $100 if you want a solid case.
