Is it worth waiting 11 days for the Radeon rx 480 when I can buy a gtx 960 for about the same price?

Is it worth waiting 11 days for the Radeon rx 480 when I can buy a gtx 960 for about the same price?

It's only almost twice the performance for the same price.

Your call though.

Yes you mongoloid
Supposed leaked benches are putting the RX480 about on par with a 980.

They're not even remotely comparable. The absolute worst-case scenario for an RX 480 has it at GTX 970 performance, whilst others put it above the 980. Make sure to make a thread if you do buy a 960 now, as I want to laugh at you.

Prices of old cards will drop but its your shekels bro.

You guys think it will be out of stock like Nvidia's cards are?

We should have reviews of this shit pretty soon right?

Obviously a newer card will be shittier than a 1 year old card.

Why don't you make a search about what is being said and compare yourself ? Do you really need to make a thread to attract shills ?

>You guys think it will be out of stock like Nvidia's cards are?
No. Nvidia had to do a PAPER launch and rush their cards to market because they knew they would get BTFO by AMD. They have no stock.

AMD have been mass producing their new GPUs for at least four months by now. When their cards launch there'll be no stock shortages.

buy the 960, yo will have it right away. who can wait 11 fucking days for a fucking gpu (ignore the lies about better performence goyim)

The 480 isn't worth the AMD driver problems

>When their cards launch there'll be no stock shortages.
Yeah because no-one will buy any

Does that include companies like Asus Saphire, etc etc?

I don't want to buy a reference card, even though they look nice

DELETE THIS

If you're a genuine idiot, then yes you fucking retard. Polaris is looking to destroy the GPU market. Also, there's the 470, a card for $150 that is looking to be just slightly below the 970 and 390 for $150. Of course, THIS IS SPECULATION. Just wait for the cards to release.

If shitposter, then good job. (You) got a (You).

Totally not! 960 is insane card! Its insanely fast!

Oh man I keked

You can get a 3.5GB for the price of an 8GB 480 if you're that desperate.

...

like what?

Why does the 480 look so sekcci?

highly engineered.

Hes just trying to start a fanboy war. Ignore him.

Funny, my brother just gifted me a GTX 960 (I had a GTX 560 before) touting as something very powerful, I am going to ask him how much he paid for it, but I wonder with the rest of the choices if it was a good one.

DELET

That's right goy, just ignore him. AMD drivers work perfectly fine

yes

are those squirrel fans better than the standard ones? My 660 ti barely causes noise compared to my stock intel fan.

I have an ASUS R9 290 at the moment, and I was wondering if you guys think I should sell it for a 480, keep it and CrossFire with a 480, or sell it and buy 2 480s a few months apart?

savage

I bought a 950 because amd drivers on linux are shit
pretty happy with it

will there be non stock coolers for the 480x in 11 days? I have an asus r9 270x, maybe I could sell on craigslist for like $80. But I dont think id be happy with a reference cooler. I like the asus one, quiet enough.

lols

also dumb question but it should be safe to assume the 480x will have virtual super resolution right? I'm not so much interested in virtual reality stuff as I am downscaling 1440p to run on my 1080p monitor at higher fps.

what the fuck are you talking about

...

The r9 270x has virtual super resolution

you know, it renders in a higher resolution, and then scales it down to fit on the monitor. so you can have a 1440p real estate screen even though your monitor only handles 1080p tops.

I want to know if the 480x has support for vsr. I dont know how this is complicated to you.

>Bumping for interest.

AMD showed RX 480 running Doom 1440p with VSR on 1080p screen on computex.

Source: Your ass.

MAD fags still comparing new cards to old ones....the only way they can even look competitive.

...

thank you for actually replying with a good answer.

do you have any word about non reference coolers on release?

>Buying GTX970/290x performance in 2016


it like you only want your gpu to last 2 years.

People on Sup Forums generally suggest Sapphire as the best but id wait for the reviews.

The 480 will be better in almost every way even if you just go with the 4gb version to save a few bucks.

I have a chance to get Zotac GTX970 really cheap (I'm talking about 1/3 cheaper) as an replacement for my old, crude GTX760. Should I go for it?

>goy
>paid more than twece as much for a card that doesnt perform as well.

Fuck the 960 and 480. I want the 1060.

you could buy a 480 and save enough pay for half of a vr headset.

Name the actual price.

I'm don't plan to buy VR.

$250, new one costs almost $410 here. I'm living in a third world eastern youropoorean country so I guess the price of the R480 will be crazy too.

Also I'm in a critical need of a new GPU. The GTX760 I have now already died once but I managed to ressurect it by baking it in the oven.

>I'm don't plan
Sorry for engrish

The 8gb RX 480 is showing up for about 300 euros. If $250 is the most you can afford, go for it.

You should get the 960 senpai desu. I mean it's twice the power of the 480 (480×2=960). How can the 480 even compete???

I can afford the RX480 if it's going to cost 300€. But I don't have any experience with the AMD cards and still a bit step to the unkown. If there weren't these new GPUs coming, I would definitely buy that GTX970 without hesitation.

And I can always sell the GTX970 to get some bucks back and then buy the RX480 if it really proves to be that powerful and cheap (and reliable).

\thread

Sucks to be you.

New experiences can be a bit scary

It would be retarded.

:^)

I heard that the RX480 will be somewhere inbetween a 960 and 970. If that's true I think I'll buy a 970 when the price drops even further.

On Dx11 yes, on Dx12 it's said it has quite a giant boost in power.

>But I don't have any experience with the AMD cards
>put card into computer
>install driver
>???
>profit

In terms of performance per dollar the 970 is the best buy right now. I would wait for the RX 480 though. It will be lower power usage to begin with and have a few extra's going forward. But it might be more expensive or less expensive. We don't really know yet since you can't buy it right now.

Same. Anyone?

>DX12

Sell it before its worth $100

>drivers

>memes

I dolf'd

Why would you not wait? Worst case scenario is that the 480 doesn't live up to the leaked benchmarks either way you'll be back to gayming in 11 days.

I will buy one. already installed Sierra on my hackintosh and seems like they will be supported.

thank you based Apple

>the first api to actually boost performance significantly.
>I better just not upgrade this time.

It is happening, actually. Now I can sleep happy.

>buying a 960
>ever
Fucking kill yourself for even thinking about it.

AIBs have been designing and manufacturing cards for at least a month now, probably closer to 2.
They're planned to release concurrent with reference.

So where's Nvidia's cards to compete with the 480?

Are they going to cut down GP104 again?

>waitfagging for nvidia
wew lad

Buy a 960. You're guaranteed to have working drivers unlike amd shit.

>AMD has started to get good drivers while Nvidia fanboys are fine letting drivers kill their performance

don't be a poor nigger
buy a 1070

FTFY, a properly OCed 970, even the shitty voltage locked ones like the original evga acx 2.0 models can outperform a stock 980 and 390x.

nvidia shills belong back on Sup Forums

it's a 2GB card, who the fuck cares?
