>The performance we are seeing here is pretty insane for a $199 card although actual AIB pricing will be slightly above this mark in all probability. You are looking at performance levels of the Radeon R9 390 at almost 40% discounted off the starting MSRP and nearly twice the power efficiency.
If this is also reflected on games and emulators' performance, I'm getting one in a couple of months.
Daniel Howard
This makes me moist.
I only wish the a4-sfx was cheap so I could build a qt bang/buck itx rig.
Ayden Cooper
The a4-sfx is far from the only itx case out there. Personally I think this looks better.

AMD is going to sell a sh** load of these and all the trolling and horrible memes in the world isn't going to stop that. Like it or not.
Carson Brown
Its always hard to watch the fall of an empire.
Carter Walker
You have singlehandedly cucked Nvidia, Pajeet. Good game, sir. Good fucking game.
John Moore
Nigga I'm getting like 20 of these cards and selling them on ebay when they sell out. I'm about to be rich.
Joseph Evans
1070 received 147xx for $180 more. Pretty insane.
Asher Rodriguez
I don't have a side, I'm not on Nvidia or AMD. Why the fuck is everyone praising this card again? AMD has lied numerous times in the past about processors yields, TDPs, performance in general to save their ass. You guys realize this is going to be in between a 390x and a 980 right? This isn't going to be 980ti levels. You guys get pissed at Nvidiots for when they believe the marketing but you retards are doing exactly that.
Andrew Torres
Confirmed for $200/250. It's a big deal.
William Reed
>3D Mark
Too many kiddies here on this page
Charles Murphy
Are you retarded?
It's $200, matching the 980 would make it absolutely incredible.
Chase Rivera
step up senpai
Christopher Cook
You are biased as fuck senpai
Jayden Martinez
Then get me a 980 for $200.
Aiden Jackson
Even if they lie massively and price it 30+% more at $300, it would be a bargain compared to the 1070.(which received the same 3dmark score)
Kevin Flores
But can it run X11?
Jordan Sullivan
>designates Nvidia to be shit upon
Well played.
Caleb Powell
It can run games besides ashes of the singularity in benchmark mode right?
Jose Cox
That's about 500 points more than what I'm getting with my overclocked GTX 780 with a lot better efficiency. I want AMD to succeed and release a killer top of the line model too.
Connor Collins
This remember the 970 was so big because of the price. People still bought that shit after 3.5 was long confirmed. Hell reviewers were like well ya that memory thing is shit but look at this power/price and still recommended it. Hell even Logan "AMD Shill" from tek syndicate said the same thing.
The price thing is going to bring AMD back into the game.
Nvidia is trying to condition the market to pay for shit like the founders edition and this is going to dump on them.
Joseph Edwards
just to add a little bit of salt to the wound
Camden Cruz
Not having a competitor besides AMD is ruining the market in NVIDIA's favor
Brandon Hill
The best part is, imagine if they decided fuck it
They could literally make a 480 X2 and sell it for $550 to fuck the 1080 over
Gabriel Allen
B-but the benchmarks..
S-sauce?

Damn, that's a solid fucking benchmark.
Mason Martin
Why is everyone blowing their load over the rx480 when it's obvious that Nvidia will cuck AMD with their 1060?
Jayden Evans
it shows that nvidia handicap their own gpus through driver updates.
Jacob Morgan
Because most of these people are new and don't remember what happened with the 390x. Good 3d mark scores, decent in game performance. All AMD cards are amazing on paper but function terribly in games.
Mason Williams
but that's nvidia meddling with devs
Luke Fisher
Because nobody with half a brain would view it otherwise? No matter how idiotic the 3.5 GB usable memory vs 4 GB advertised is/was, the GTX 970 was and still is a very good card for the money. Having expectations based on marketing as a consumer is dumb and bound to make you disappointed time and time again.
It's 3DMark. Check the (graphics) score and compare it to similar cards. But everyone jumping the gun should just wait for proper benchmarks by multiple different sites.
Yeah no.
Levi Howard
Because it's obvious nvidia won't do anything of the sort. They can't outpower the 480 because then they'll be fucking the 1070 over and they won't be able to match the $200.
It also won't be out until the 480 has already sold out 3-4 times.
Robert Cruz
Sure it is
Levi Wood
No, it shows that Nvidia cards don't have much performance to gain through driver updates because they're as optimized as they can be pretty soon after launch. AMD takes several years to get their drivers right. If Nvidia was deliberately gimping their own cards, it would be super easy to counteract because you can just install an old version of the drivers, and Nvidia would lose a ton of customers.
But I don't know why I both. AMD customers are a bunch of anti-Semites who think Nvidia is run by Jews when their CEO is Asian and that everything is a conspiracy.
Ethan Torres
the 1070 has titan-x tier performance for $400
you can't expect people to believe the rx480 will match that. It's going to match a 290x/390/980 which is still respectable for the price point. But it's not gonna touch the 1070.
Nathan Jones

David Powell
Nobody ever said it would.
It also doesn't need to, nobody will buy a 1070 because the 480 does 1440p@60 perfectly and the 1080 / Vega is a better choice for 4K/VR.
Nvidia fucked up with their price points.
Gabriel Bailey
Except if you're not a moron you'll realize they're not reducing performance, merely not bothering to improve it.
AMD are still making gains on their GCN 1.0 cards, meanwhile nvidia aren't improving maxwell anymore.
Camden Ramirez
Yes. Because it takes AMD several years to fix their drivers, Nvidia doesn't take nearly that long. You can't indefinitely improve performance of cards through driver updates.
Levi Wilson
I still remember Nvidia fucking older graphics cards with new drivers just last year.
Caleb Watson
And yet their performance at launch was close enough to the nvidia competitor that it's not a 'fix'.
It's called improvement, and magically every company that isn't nvidia does it.
Bentley Jones
That's what I have too m8.big improvement over the sugo05 I had before
David Walker
There's one graphics card company that isn't Nvidia (unless you count Intel's graphics...). AMD failing to optimize their drivers at launch is not a conspiracy by Nvidia. youtu.be/dh9Akfu90Gs
Brayden Sanchez
Except for every other form of hardware outside of graphics cards also having the same thing happen.
Cooper Johnson
Everytime someone is asked to prove the gimping meme, they always fall back on "Nvidia just ends support for their cards earlier". That's not gimping. Neither is imperfect updates that causes problems which get patched to fix them. Like half of the examples that get brought up to prove the gimping meme were patched ffs.
Robert Lopez
Really? I can improve the power efficiency of a hair dryer with a driver update?
Zachary Parker
>no drivers >awful opengl performance >proprietary microblobs in open-source drivers
Nice try pajeet, but Nvidia is still a better choice if you use an operating system that isnt malware.
Xavier Hughes

Wyatt Fisher
Stop trying to convince yourself that you're white, Raja.
Logan Reyes
The RX 480 is just a R9 390 with the same speed and half the power consumption. It will be the best buy in its priceclass but nothing to get overly hyped for.
Juan Fisher
>awful opengl performance ?
Nicholas Sanders
>no drivers Stale as fuck meme. Never had an issue with drivers and been using ATi/AMD since 2006.
>awful opengl performance True but basically irrelevant in 2016. Not really an excuse for AMD there other than that they have never been believers in OpenGL.
>proprietary microblobs in open-source drivers Literally who-gives-a-shit-tier.
Consider ending yourself, lincuck.
John Cooper

So exactly what the 1070 does to the 980ti but at a lower performance level and price point, not bad but I'm not interested, I already have that kind of graphical horsepower
Eli Hill
I have iGPU and i dont want to pay more than 250$ for a video card. RX 480 is perfect for me.

LMAO. New RX 480 has performance of a 2 years old 980. Top kek.
Owen Myers
correction, a 2 year old 970
Wyatt Allen
at a lower power draw, with ACTUAL dx12 support, and with higher performance potential and less than half as cheap...
I really love how nvidiots just decide that if something is beaten by another card that it's completely worthless, regardless of price, performance, featureset, or potential.
Bentley Reed
So this is the power of... 1070
Wow
Logan Wood
look up the heaven benchmark, one of nvidias drivers made that run far worse on the 700 series then it did before, it took a month to fix, but due to the shit storm largely being on nvidia's site, it was scrubbed, the few tech sites that reported it chocked it up to "not on purpose and its fixed now so nothing to see here"

Keep tricking retards into buying AMD, Nvidia needs some form of 'competition' after all.
Juan Lopez
in dx12, depending on how close the 480 is to the 1070, i could see it matching or beating it.
but everything we have to go on is all speculation till someone reputable breaks embargo.
Ayden Wood
I save my money apposed to paying out the ass for things I don't need.
that way when shit hits the fan, im not 100% fucked like most of my family and friends are.
Isaiah Powell
For the less conspiracy minded, drivers are coded by imperfect human beings and it looks like Nvidia responded to community feedback and fixed a mistake.
Hunter Johnson

It's just sour grapes. Everybody railing on the RX 480 for being "just" around 980-tier is salty that their "high end" GPU is now basically on par with an AMDpoorfag $199 special.
For people grounded in reality the RX 480 looks like an amazing deal.
