Polaris = too late

I have a 290x, why should I upgrade? Why AMD does not release a 490x?

>I have a 290x, why should I upgrade?
No one here knows or cares.

There's no reason to. Just enjoy the fact that a card you bought back in 2013/2014 is still relevant. If you bought it later than that then lel

AMD
>Cheap midrange trash
>chips for gaming consoles

Nvidia
>High end mobile gpus
>High end desktop gpus for both gaming and 3d work
>Technology for self driving cars
>CUDA support in Autodesk, Adobe, many other peofessional programs

Hmm I wonder why AMD hasnt produced a high end chip against someone they cant compete against

>below the 390x
This is embarassing

yeah, probably

Check the Extreme and Ultra scores.

i wonder why a company that is barely profitable and constantly losing money would risk so much R&D to capture the 13% of the high end discrete GPU market when they can clinch the 87% which buys GPUs ranging from $100 - $300 instead?

dummy

It's underclocked. At normal clocks it's around Nano levels.

>Poolaris

>underclocked
>AMD
>imblying any overclocking ability

fuck off to Sup Forums shill

...

>Why AMD does not release a 490x?

Because he himself said that there's on fucking cunty user on Sup Forums who he cannot stand the likes of. He also said that they had the Vega in overstock, all highly binned, on standby since early 2014, but as Shiva as his witness, he would forcefully delay the launch simply to mildly irritate that user. Even if that meant to bring the company down to the loo.

the whole 7xxx series was underclocked thats why it could beat pretty much anything at the time..

epic!!!!

You think they will lower the price of the 390 once the poolaris comes out? The 390 seems a better option if it's cheaper

Because they wait for HBM2 volume production. nVidia probably holds back the 1080ti for HBM2. They'll also release new titan card before that with risk production HBM2

>algready having forgotten the g86 and g92 fiasco, as well as the mess that was the gtx 480 before and at launch

Don't upgrade it then. Was that so hard?
How out of the loop are you?

Vega is the 490X. You should wait if you really want a high-end GPU. AMD will launch those cards in october.

Considering the 390 sucks down literally 3x the power for worse performance than Polaris it's likely the 390 will just be discontinued and old product used for rmas.

Vega 10 is 490
Vega 11 is fury

There will be no 490x, it clutters the lineup too much.

>Vega 10 is 490
>Vega 11 is fury
Stop posting this, it's fucking wrong. Vega 10 is Vega. Vega 11 is your fantasy. Polaris 10 is desktop, Polaris 11 is mobile. There is no such separation for Vega.

>I have a 290x, why should I upgrade?
You shouldn't even upgrade to Nvidia's high end cards as well. Vega and big Pascal is the upgrade you want. If AMD packs in the same density they had with Fiji on Vega, then it's going to be a behemoth of an upgrade. Polaris' improvements will give us a rough estimate of its performance when it comes out. Don't expect it anytime soon however, HBM2 is scarce and expensive.

>Vega 10 and 11
Why the fuck do people repeat this shit? Tell me where has AMD confirmed ANYTHING about Vega aside from it having HBM2.

How come every single RX 480 firestrike score has been vastly different? Are some people doing the 4gb card and others doing the 8gb card?

>480 hitting 1600 MHz on air

its ogre nvidia

None of you fags realize that manufaturer competition is a good thing and that we should ask for an AMD equivalent of the 1080s and 1070s

those are coming in a few months

>AMD equivalent of overpriced garbage
It's called the Radeon Pro Duo.

Where is the Nvidia equivalent of the RX 460, 470 or 480?

What is that graph actually real

We've seen like three graphs from them.
When it was the C7 chip, inbetween the 980 and Fury, and now this.
We just have to wait for two weeks to see.

J-Just wait. It's fine to wait for Nvidia. It'll be better than the RX 480 and cheaper. Please just wait.

the 480 is half the power draw and has hdmi 2.0

kek i cant wait till amd pops up a shit tier card

>Nvidia
>gaming

lmao Arkham Knight and Arma3 would like to have a word, there's probably a bunch of other Nvidiot game fuckups I can't remember off the top of my head

87% of the GPU-s are in 100-300 range, and still I am in top 80% with my GTX 970 according to Futuremark

A 390/X on sale is still a really good buy for someone that doesn't care all that much about power efficiency.
It's a solid card, with known good performance, and the drivers are stable and mature.

That's because only people with good GPU's actually upload their benchmarks. I don't think that the 980ti is the 3rd most popular card on the market.

This. AMD has a good midrange offering with the 480, but I run triplewide, and I'm basically waiting to see an 8GB HBM2 card from each side before commit to what I hope will be my card for the next 2-3 years.

Vega 10 only, will be two chips like Polaris 10

>Ark
>haha, time for DX12!
>DELAYED MOTHERFUCKER
>oh and suddenly gamesworks
>DX12? Nah, never heard of it mate

Shieet. I wonder if it can even beat an overclocked 970.

>videocardz posting even more benchmarks of the card clocked at 1080mhz instead of 1266
I wonder how much Nvidia is paying them

The supposed beast mode cards are what we really should be looking for. The thought of another good lightning card for AMD makes me salivate. The 290x lightning was a monster.

There won't be "Beast Mode" 480's.
1. They're mid-range cards, so people won't buy them, they'll buy 1070's instead. There isn't a market for it.
2. The arch is designed for power efficiency, so I would expect to hit voltage limits before thermal limits, even on air.

AMD supposedly flashed each review sample with a different BIOS so they all have different clocks. This way they can identify the leakers.

For the half of the price

>wait
I'm pretty sure those Nvidia retards would buy a GTX 970 over a RX 480 because brand loyalty

Hows Gsync doing?

I'll cop 2 ref's one 4gb and a 8. Test it on fresh installed BF4. The I will Run it CF. On the 29th it my MicroCenter has it.

>three year old $550 cards are now equivalent to today's $200 cards

There's nothing to be sad happy or mad about, sounds like business as usual.

>because brand loyalty
Because drivers.

...

There's still a lot of money in the professional market. AMD shouldn't abandon it altogether.

Probably because of early drivers.

>no market for it
What planet do you love on?

Buddy? Are you ok?

Handily. Polaris has much higher ipcpc than Maxwell or Pascal.

Where's the source on that?

If that's the case then can your tiny drone brain explain to me how come Nvidia owns 82% of market share.

They don't. It's 70% at most, probably closer to 65%.

AMD ois waiting for more dx12 games to release. Once enough dx12 games at released in few months, the will popup a 490 and then still all over $800 1080s.

WHY THE FUCK ARE AFTERMARKET 1080s SO EXPENSIVE

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BE $100 LESS THAN THE FOUNDERS CARDS

Pajeet if you want to shill for your company on Sup Forums at least learn basics of English language.

why is the 1070 faster if the 480 has basically the same whatever-those-are numbers?

Cuz there is like 1 million in queue for them so sellers rip off impatient morons.

PLACEBO

Depends on architecture. AMD had GPUs that looked better on paper and yet ran 20% slower than Nvidia counterparts like 970/280x

Marketing son

we got 1070s and actual benchmarks

lets wait till the 480 is an actual thing before we say which is better

>waiting for direct x12 to be relevant


if your business model is to rely on enough people to make games on an architecture exclusive to an operating system 65% of people don't want.

you're fucked.

If anything hilariously enough majority of ppl willing to do the w10 jump are Nvidia high end GPU owners which want dx12 graphics without realizing that AMD is stronger on dx12.

got my r9 290x for $320 CDN. rx 480 will prob retail for $275-$299 CDN+tax and offer equal more or less equal performance. no reason to upgrade I can max out most games at 1080p60fps.

also linux

>1450 - 1500mhz OC is a "given" for the AMD 6+8 pin 480 cards that will cost $300, my brother confirmed this 3 or 4 days ago, even before WCCFtech did.

>The Rx 480 @1500mhz creeps around the stock 1070 performance in directx12 games. Don't let those synth benchmarks get you thinking that is what the Rx 480 can only do...its a different beast when OC'd - AMD purposely left lots of OC headroom...their words.

>Rx 470 gets near the 390/x territory when OC'd and even close to the 980 depending on what games, especially the Dx12 games, what this OC is on the 470 i have no idea yet. So take with grains of salt until we know more.


>Like I mentioned before, my brother was at the two events a few weeks back and was given a ref 480, two of his colleagues have a few of the 6+8 pin Rx 480's from a specific AIB vendor and they get over 1500mhz on air without much work, even closer to the 1550/1600mhz area. The also noted that in-game, especially Dx12 games, they fly like eagles while still maintaining acceptable heat, on air, in closed box systems.

>what is the PRO duo

...

DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY

If two midrange AMD cards can beat a high end Nvidia card, how much more if AMD's high card card gets released? Tsk tsk.

DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY

>that cute card that close to a 290 for $150
HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG

Ah yes - wccftech posting. By Pajeets for Pajeet.

The price/performance is always better on mid range cards than high end cards. I'm willing to bet that two 1060's in Ashes of the Singularity will beat a 1080 as well.

...

where is the source?

both sides are getting flat out scammed. but amd fags are the only ones using dx12 as if it's the only thing their cards have.

I'm in a bit of the same boat as op. I've got a R9 390, and I was thinking of waiting to see what AMD and Nvidia announce by the end of the year, but (if the benchmarks are as good as we hope), an aftermarket 480 sounds like a great option, too. Keeping in mind that I only play at 1080p, and have no plan to upgrade my monitor any time soon. I just want steady, solid performance and FPS at 1080p.

One of the reasons I'm thinking of upgrading already is that I would end up gifting my current 390 to a bro of mine who's been out of work and short on cash for a while. He got my old GTX 760 when I picked up the 390. The low TDP, temps and price sound like the 480 could be the ideal card for me, but I'm still not sure if I could use the extra power of whatever is coming later in the year...

I really think that isn't the right moment to pick a high-end card. The 480 is just perfect for the 1080p60.

>1500 MHz on air

its all ogre nvidia

>

Late for what?

Nobody has been able to replicate this.
Also, AMD clocks are better than nVidia clocks because IPC.

>tfw video card died again
>putting it in the oven didn't work this time

j u s t

>amd only launch 14nm mid range cards

480 will cost ~450.
460 might cost $350 MAX

It was an accidental leack from Techpowerup

>nVidia only launch 14nm high end cards
It's good for both companies.

TPC did

Noted it ran way fucking hotter, and they use an open bench rather than a case.

Yeah, the heat is the problem. It thermal throttles on air and causes frame drops.

What the hell son? Their hardware specs are close but the 1070 is clocked significantly higher.
