RX 480 is a failboard because of AMD marketing. Delusional in thinking that "appearing" more efficient by using fewer power cables and drawing from the motherboard. Guess what, you just killed your product right out the gate:
The whole mobo burning thing is an exaggeration/nvidia shilling you idiot. Though I agree that 480 is a massive disappointment.

Didn't this pajeet in OP picture work for apple?? Seems like Pajeet don't like to test products before they release them...
Levi Gutierrez
More likely it's Pajeet's boss who thinks testing is a waste of time and money

>even PCI-SIG saying it's daijabou >nvidiots still sperging out
Jonathan Adams
its obvious the 480 was meant for poorfags it meets the minimum VR spec just like AMD said It doesnt have 980 performance because that was what Nvidia shills were spamming so Nvidia could pull the "dissappointed by AMD? 1060 has 980 performance" campaign
Ryder Stewart
>burned PCIe slots Ahh yes, a burned slot from going 5-10w over spec.
That's what we call 'a fucked motherboard'
Same thing would've happened with a GTX 960, a fermi-era card or even my own old HD 6870 which could run purely off the board if you forgot to plug in the 6-pin (aw yee).
Currently at 1315mhz on 1.10v (50mv down) with a full 150mv taken off the RAM at 1.0v and stock 2000mhz. 130w, feels good man

pajeets boss is a pajeet fa.m in case of Radeon

>GTX 480 was an failrue >RX 480 is an failure Would that mean that RX 840 will be successful card?
Jacob Hughes
The RX 480 is only a failure in nvidiots delusional dreams.
It's already sold more than the GTX 1070 and 1080 combined in less than a week
Samuel Parker
>buying reference cards Sure, AMD could have used a 6-pin, but AIB cards are already going to use a 8-pin. It's not ruined. At least it has good OSS drivers.
Cooper Morris
What do the red down arrows men in this picture?

Anthony Watson
That nvidia is shit.
Adrian Taylor
too bad AMD is gonna lose a lot once they have to do recalls and driver downgrades
Jose Edwards
I thought the 480 was targeting a lower price bracket, which its currently dominating in. What was the hype about?
Jaxon Collins
Except the only recalls will be the overclocked XFX one and the driver 'downgrades' will be a drop of both the core and memory voltage that, as far as us 480 owners can tell, not a single card on the market would have a problem with. It'll run exactly the same factory clocks, and still have unlocked overclocking for those of us who have managed a significant undervolt and overclock. I've got 1315mhz @ 1.10V, this is actually a pretty shit one in terms of silicon lottery too.
Joseph Sanders
The fact that overclocked they're beating 980s in DX12 games.
10/10
Carson Lee
>democratize Exactly the political wording I would expect from AMD
Matthew Richardson
The RX 480 is literally 200 dollars. I love nvidia, but come on now you idiots. Everyone but this board is praising the card for being a great budget card. You didnt expect it to be a 1070 or 1080 killer now did you? Oh wait I guess you did.
Jack Campbell
>NVIDIOTS DON'T HAVE ANY MORE SHIT TO VOMIT ONLINE SO THEY CLING ONTO THIS TO SHILL LOL!
Owen Gomez
Did people actually believe that though? Just look at the price, if they were capable of doing that they wouldnt sell it for half as much.
Caleb Reed
AMD are pajeets, not jews

...Should I just wait for 1060? 760 atm.
Matthew Taylor
>Read trough the whole thread >Literally just ONE guy with a dead PCIe slot >Using an Asrock board which is known for failing PCIe connectors Then again I guess this is just what you should expect from fanboys. Making a mountain out of a molehill is not only common, but standard practice.
Adam Howard
>>Literally just ONE guy with a dead PCIe slot Second post states: >I have this exact same issue, totally killed my 990FX from MSI. How badly can you fail at basic reading comprehension?
Jeremiah Torres
This pajeet was in charge of the internals, mainly CPU or GPU
Problem is solved. It isn't the GPU die drawing the power in errant fashion, it is the memory. AMD's software as well has trouble with undervolting and seeing an actual reduction in power consumption so long as memory settings are set to auto. If you undervolt the GPU then the card will give more power to memory by default.
Don't use the auto settings in Wattman. Manually undervolt, and adjust memory settings as well. Problem solved. AMD will issue a driver fix and statement next week.
Robert Hill
In a world full of bullshit it is nice to see that fud and marketing do not always work.
Aaron Anderson
That their position has fallen since last week or so
Bentley Howard
Deprecated designs.
Christopher Perry
FinFET production doesn't operate like planar transistors - like when Intel processors moved to FinFET, voltage increase to clock increase are much closer to linear than before. The silicon lottery spread is much lower now. I'd expect 1320Mhz at 1.1v to be a decent result, and many average cards would be unable to undervolt the stock turbo down to 1.0v Very high end, highly binned AIBs might, maybe, be able to reach 1500Mhz at 1.2-1.25 but you're looking at beyond 225w power draw (8 pin + PCIe slot technical limit) with the memory overclocked. I guess the rumors of 8+6pin AIBs could be true.
Now...I'd be willing to spend ~$270 for a monster RX480 but only because I buy a GPU every 3-4 years, and that AMD's cards tend to outshine Nvidia's over time. >7Tflop FP32 for around $250

Levi Rodriguez
How do we even know the difference between the 3rd party releases? They all look the same and don't list any differences.
Parker Green
Reference 480 is just a disappointment and clearly rushed to the market to beat the 1060.
It is wired with "out of spec" 6-pin PCIe connectors (it has three full 12V pins instead of two) which the board itself doesn't even use properly.
For some silly reason AMD made the board draw power from both PCIe and only two of the PCIe pins on the "out-of-spec" six-connector.
Somebody fucked up badly at AMD.
Matthew Butler
The problem comes from pre-PCI 3.0 boards.
Ironic that this issue plagues mostly AMD platforms. You have go to Sandy Bridge and older to get PCIe 2.0 slots.
Landon Nelson
I dunno about you, but my Fermi had 2x6 pins, and it's just the GTX 460. My GTX 980 has 2x8 pins.
