Performance summary: 1- Tom's put this card as below the GTX 970 and R9 390, but not by much. 2- TechPowerUp, Anandtech, PC Perspective, Hexus, HardwareCanucks, and KitGuru put the card at slightly above the GTX 970 and R9 390. 3- LegitReviews, GamerNexus and HardOCP puts the card on par with the GTX 970 and R9 390.
Details: 1- All reviews mention that the cards does considerably better on DX12, where it can beat the GTX 980 2- The reviews praise the card's overall power consumption, but some note that it exceeds the standard power limits (86W from PCIe, instead of 75W) 3- Most lament the temps of the reference cooler. 4- Most of the reviews note that the reference cooler does well on the noise. As good as nVidia's reference cards? No, but this is something to note, considering the horrible reference jet engines of AMD's 290/290X cards. 5- Overclocking results are mixed, some reviewers getting up to 10% OC, and some barely 2%.
Overall: A good launch for AMD. The card is slightly above the GTX 970/R9 390, and cheaper. Once non-reference versions are out, with better temps, this should be a great purchase. If you already have a GTX 970/R9 390, this card will do nothing for you. (1/2)
FAQ: >When will we get non-reference cards? Typically, within a couple of months of launch.
>Buy this, or buy a GTX 970/R9 390? The RX 480 is slightly better, for slightly cheaper, so go for it instead. If you absolutely need a card RIGHT NOW and cannot wait for it to be in stock, then you do not lose much by getting a GTX 970/R9 390.
>I was expecting it to beat GTX Titan X SLI! This SUCKS! This is a $200 card. It beats older $200 cards, and is on par with older $330 cards.
>[company x] BTFO! Fanboys on suicide watch! lel, kek, and kys! We can do that, but it is a waste of your time and energy. We can talk about the new card instead.

>The RX 480 isn't too impressive when looking at power consumption either, running ~50 or so watts less than the R9 390, which is a power hungry graphics card to begin with. >The RX 480 consumed the same amount of power as the GTX 1070, while providing considerably less performance. The card doesn't run cool either, hitting over 80 degrees in a short period, though granted the reference cooler is small and likely to be improved upon by board partners. >Overclocking headroom is Fury X-like, though I'm not willing to call the RX 480 out on this just yet until we see results from more cards and some with upgraded cooling.
Tfw it's actually really shit. How anyone can defend this is beyond me. Not even the pricing saves it.
Jason Cox

Gavin Lopez
>worse than 970 nice meme
Alexander Hill
Again The RX 480 draws more power than the GTX 1070 and performs considerably worse. Power consumption is just 22w less than the Radeon Fury Nano, and performance is considerably behind that Nano as well.
Unless drivers bring a 20% performance uplift Polaris 10 is a big flop. If you look at the performance directly compared to the Hawaii/Grenada die then we see performance per CU has actually decreased. If the RX 480 were clocked at 1050mhz it would be woefully behind the R9 390 in everything. Outside of DX12 there appears to be no IPC uplift visible from the new arch.
The performance and power consumption of this card is so troublesome that it appears outright broken.

Oliver Green
Honestly I'm tired of responding to these shills with the same response over and over again. Believe what you want.
Charles Allen
Gotta get that bitcoin market bruh. Nvidia gets lower temps and power consumption by completely nuking single and double precision performance.
This might also be why AMD is good in DX12, all the compute shit.
Nolan Thomas
Gentlemen, please. There really is no point in bashing AMD/nVidia.
nVidia just released cards in the $400-$600 range.
AMD released a new card in the $200-$240 range.
There is no point in getting upset, when the new cards do not compete with each other.
Kayden Garcia
Not shilling, I own a R9 290 and AMD fucked themselves over this. Just posting facts
Hitman is optimized for AMD cards and that is the only game where the RX 480 wins
Henry Price
>390x faster than a 980 ti
Nice unbiased benchmark.

t. I got my family member to order that 970 yesterday
Brody Flores
Was really hoping it would have been closer to the 980 in performance, pretty gay.
Anthony Jenkins
Why would he get an inferior card?
Nolan Russell
So the 8gb 480 ($230) costs 54% as much as the 1070 (I used $420 for this calculation), and the 1070 performs 50% better than the 1070. Correct me if I'm doing my math wrong, but doesn't that mean the 1070 and the 480 have the same price/performance ratio?
Brody Adams

What are the rules when it comes to ordering these adapter cables? My monitor has DVI-D in.
Elijah Hernandez
The non-reference 480's will have better cooling and be factory OC'd at higher clock speeds. Those will most likely perform a lot better and by that time drivers will be better as well.
Thomas Diaz
Apparently those paint chips did lasting damage, friend.
William Nelson
>4- Most of the reviews note that the reference cooler does well on the noise. As good as nVidia's reference cards? No, but this is something to note, considering the horrible reference jet engines of AMD's 290/290X cards.
This is retarded, the rx 480 goes up to 5++k rpm in 100%, the 1070 founder's edition barely reaches 4k.
Of course the noise will be higher
Caleb Allen
HOLY SHIT NVIDIOTS BTFO
Luke Lopez
It should have been. But then
>32 ROPs
No one could have predicted that. Then again, they only gave the Fury X 64 ROPs. And that is why the Fury X failed. Luckily, this card is still fine with 32 ROPs, just not as good as it could have been. I guess it's the only way they could get that $200 price point.
Oliver Rivera
No idea I checked the pins of my monitor and it had the pattern in DVI-D. So I entered "DVI-D HDMI" into the search and looked for a cable that looked like it had the same connection and wasn't too expensive, because price makes no difference in quality.
Owen Edwards
Inferior cards are nearly 10% faster?
Hmmm
Oliver Nguyen
Don't even bother, AMD drivers will drag it down anyway.
Robert Carter
>AMD doesn't have driver problems you shill >uhh, the 480 will perform better once
It doesn't show which prices they used for the 1070.
Camden Flores
Oh shit, its already in Indonesia? Anyone knows the estimate time when AMD will released the 460 or 470?
Gonna need at least 40 of them before 2017.
Caleb Price
Why would anyone buy a reference card?
Jordan Cooper
wait for drivers and beastmode you fucking nvidiot shill
Evan Brown
>>uhh, the 480 will perform better once the drivers are better*
Cameron Perez
That statistic doesn't prove much. it doesn't show real-time performance at all. From ANandtech: RX 480 only wins in Hitman, the Division and ashes of Sing. In the other games Nvidia wins despite having 3.5 GB of VRAM
Christian Rodriguez
Nvidia releases driver optimizations over time with new cards as well. Stupid shill.
Isaiah Torres
>63C max
Jackson Sanchez
>costs 54% as much >1070 performs 50% better You're mixing up two different percentages here.If we use $420 and $230, then 1070 costs costs 82% more than 480 while performing 50% better. Or, 480 costs 54% as much while having 67% the performance.
Asher Nguyen
To use it.
Jeremiah Wood
Thank you. I knew I was forgetting something.
Kevin Ross
Yes, Polaris means AMD's 14nm silicon can't compete with nVidia's 16nm.
That said, don't forget to note the RX480 is a buy @ $240.
Asher Davis
RX 480 has price:performance at 1080p, GTX 1070 at 1440p.
Justin Evans
You can look at every benchmark they ran.

Cooper Lee
36CU at 1266mhz 44CU at 1000mhz
If it weren't for TF2 skewing the results the overall average would be lower than the R9 290X.
AMD's 4th gen GCN is barely competing with 2nd gen GCN. All the IPC uplifts touted have amounted to nothing.
Caleb Reed
That's one way to speculate. My way would be to think Vega is Polaris with HBM2 and a watercooler slapped on.
>because that worked great for Fury @28nm
Hunter Diaz

Gavin Cruz
Fuck off nerd, the 1070 performs better than anything AMDshit has to offer.
Deal with it.
Jack Phillips
sold my 290x for a 480, this is shill bullshit, I'm maxing every game I throw at it
Parker Barnes
Fuck me and I was about to get a reference one today. Screw it, I will wait for the AIBs. My 7870 XT has lasted me 4 years, I can wait a couple of weeks.
Gavin Nelson
can you prove it?
James Jenkins
I just really want Vega to be good, ok? Nvidia is going insane with power now. This Funder's Edition paper launch limited supply buy buy buy shit is really not ok.
Anthony Morales
Performance is great at $200. What I don't like is the power consumption, It's barely even better than the 970 which is on a 28nm node. The FinFET they're using must be garbage. That being said, it's still a great buy, it's just a little worrisome for future cards like the 1060 and the RX460.
Matthew Russell
No this isn't the case at all. Apple did in fact purchase Polaris 11 and 10 GPUs for upcoming products. Apple is probably keeping the GPUs clocked low, which seems to be the only way these cards would shine in perf/watt.
It still could be another R9 285 again as well where Apple acquired all functional high binned dies, and the consumer market only got the lower binned left overs.
Andrew Lee
Stop being a retard, we're talking about the ratios of price/performance here, not total performance.
Aiden Gray
Ask your mom nvidiot cunt
Michael Barnes
>power consumption your mother will pay for it nerd XD
Parker Lopez
>only 1 gpu was able to reach 1.4 ghz >all the rest could only get between 1.3/1.5 ghz
Ok at least we got that one settled. The common case of the lucky binned chip. 99% of everyone else won't even get close to 1.4ghz even with a better cooler. It seems the shit overclocking rumors are true for the most part.
Hunter Moore
should i upgrade from a 760 or is it not worth it?
Jeremiah Baker
>1070 >$380 Where? Also where is it in stock for that price? At least the RX 480 is hitting the advertised MSRPs and is available on release day for more than 16 cards per store
Connor Lewis
that means you'll have to pay 1 dollar more a year oh no
David Gomez
Hey man, I'm right there with you. I'm wanting Zen to work out but if this is what the GPU division can do on 14nm, I'm losing hope fast for Zen.
Obviously it is not in stock now, people have been waiting months for the 480, I'm sure people waiting for the 1070 can wait as long.
Andrew Hughes
>Once non-reference versions are out
How long does that usually take?
John Nelson
Worth if you need a new card. Do you need a new card?
Logan Ramirez
Its still far better option than my old 7790. Most of the time it always reached 110w while gaming. I'm expecting the new 460 will at least max out under 60-70w
With this I can at least cut my e-bills for 20% each months after replacing all 40 of them.
Ian Ross
Actually the card is power throttling when ocing. With more power, they can probably go higher. It just needs more than a 6 pin power connector.
