If the OC leaks about the 480 are true and you can get 1.6GHz on stock cooler (around 25% performance increase), and the non OCed card is around 980 performance, then if you take the frame rates of the 980 in pic related and add 25% of that number on, then the result is 90% of the 1070's performance.
This is just speculation on speculation though, so take it as you will.
That could be even more with an aftermarket cooler
Ryder Fisher
I doubt the 25% OC, maybe with a serious cooler on it. It's stock performance will be somewhere in the ballpark of 980 to R9 Nano, giving it about 75-80% of the performance of the 1070 for about 52% of the price. Compared to the 1080, about 57-63% of the performance for about 33% of the price.
Honestly I would not buy a 1070 or a 1080 at this point unless I planned to buy 2 of them for gaming at 4k. 2 480s in crossfire will outperform a 1080 even taking into consideration scaling. And you could put that extra money towards a nice monitor with freesync/frame pacing enable.
Chase Evans
>he fell for the 480 CF meme If you want tippity top performance go for the 1080. If you want better performance per dollar get the RX 480
Alexander Bell
>still making threads when there are only rumor/propaganda statistics
The reason they removed it is because scaling becomes shit after the third card. It might even hurt the perfomance. So 4x 480 WILL NOT be a fun experience.
Jeremiah Thompson
hot
Andrew Gray
>four-way crossfire yeah good luck with that
Luke Fisher
Lol, the overclock becomes more every 'leak'
Angel Myers
Aaaand /thread.
Liam Long
No, they removed it because AMD was kicking their shit in with superior scaling and the fact you don't need a pricey SLI bridge.
Ian Hall
i know i'm getting so triggered that AMD can have high overclocks now too.
Luis Evans
4X 480 would be a fun experience for any number crunchers wanting to save some money.
Literally the price of single 1080 and twice the performance.
Easton Lopez
~20% is kicking the shit out of someone
they stopped doing because double sli and crossfire is fucking stupid for a 2 frame gain. amd will likely follow suit eventually.
Ayden Parker
>i don't know how multi gpu scaling works
Juan Young
ok, a bit under 2x
Gabriel Bell
Its 1 inch longer, it looks like. Assuming your 750ti is 5.7 in 460 is 6.7in. Just add half a thumb length to the card.
Asher Bailey
that chart is meaningless
literally fucking meaningless
15 game average of fucking what?
how the fuck have they even calculated that result?
what the fuck?
if you think that collection of colored lines represents anything, fucking kill yourself
Benjamin Young
POO
Thomas Carter
Ahh yes, becuase 25% clock speed increase equates to a 25% performance increase.
Chase Bell
Based on the benchmark leaks with Overwatch, the RX 480 pushes out a framerate that is 75% of the 1070's, so an overclock like the one in the leak should bring it up to at least 85%
Josiah Rogers
And that's still with reference cooling and without the finished drivers
All on Ultra without OC and not yet using the newest driver.
Get hype!!!
Isaiah Thompson
see
Justin Fisher
Holy shit you're one autistic fuck
Joseph Davis
>Honestly I would not buy a 1070 But it has overclocking potential as well, even if the gap between an OCed 480 and an OCed 1070 is smaller than between a stock 1070 and 480, the 1070 still fits a niche that the 480 does not. I have a 1440p 144hz monitor, so I bought a 1070 because everything AMD has said about the rx 480 pits it as a good card for 1080p somewhere between 60 and 120 fps.
But if the 480 actually is this miracle card and not just a 980 with better power/performance and price/performance, I'll sell my 1070 and get one.
Jacob Harris
You should always prioritize single GPU performance over dual. The only cards you should be running 2 of at the moment is the 1080.
Andrew Russell
>now you're required to use a giant case and an expensive PSU No thanks.
Parker Rivera
He never sad you were "required" to You're both autistic
Oliver Moore
You are literally required to buy a more expensive PSU to power 4 cards in crossfire. You also need a motherboard that supports 4 way crossfire and has 4 double wide PCIe slots, which increases the cost. I'm just saying, 4 rx 480s in crossfire carry additional costs besides just the cards that make it more expensive than a single 1080. You could technically install a 1080 on a $100 mini ITX motherboard in a $40 mini ITX case with a $30 PSU, while you're going to be spending much more on the motherboard/case/PSU.
Cameron Smith
Overwatch is heavily CPU dependant, i'd take that with a grain of salt.
James Cooper
Honestly, you can (or should be able to based on specs) build a 4x 480 system for scant more than two 1080 founder edition cards alone, and they'll probably scale just fine if the DX12 drivers are any good whatsoever.
But I'm interested in where AMD´s higher-end cards are, if they're even still going to target that market segment.
Caleb Johnson
this card will max out bf4 easy right?
Anthony Morgan
Or, or, you could buy a second PSU and independantly power the cards your main supply cant reliably handle. Much cheaper than spending for a 1500w unit.
Jace Long
That's just so clunky I think most people will stick with the single card solution unless they're like hardcore bitcoin miners or something. I'm not even saying that to root for Nvidia here, AMD will inevitably put out a card on par with the 1080 and it'll probably be a better value than four 480s.
Jason Ward
You're a fucking idiot anyways who actually thinks someone is going to mine bitcoins on anything but a custom ASIC, or that anyone would actually quadfire. On that note, at stock settings, a 1000w PSU is more than enough to handle 4 480s plus the entire system
I was simply pointing out what some people do in extreme situations, like that one guy who still has an 8x GTX 570 system
Now go be mommy's little retard somewhere else and let people who can actually think talk about technology
Jayden Rodriguez
Yes.
Andrew Adams
>taking some anonymous comment on the internet this seriously Did I offend you personally somehow? I just don't see a situation where four rx 480s would be equally or more convenient than one or two gtx 1080s.
>or that anyone would actually quadfire Well proposed it.
Ian Sanchez
That guy was obviously using sarcasm, you, you're just stupid.
Now run along and play with the other kids Timmy but dont forget your special helmet.
I feel bad for the no life AMD fanboys who think the RX 480 is going to be some kind of second coming.
Yeah it's a good card, but you are just making AMD look bad by making up bullshit statistics and running with rumors. Let the card stand on its own or you look like a fool.
