RX 470

RX 470 is out.

techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/RX_470_STRIX_OC/
tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-470,4703-2.html

Skimming, I see that it is 15-20% slower than the RX 480.

Looking for more sources.

Alright, getting more and more sources. If anyone is reading articles I have not posted, please link!

Confirmed RX 470 is the stupidest card you can buy in most markets...

> The 8GB Radeon RX 480, which again offers performance darn near identical to the $200 4GB version except in specific circumstances, offers 8 to 12 percent more performance than the RX 470. That doesn’t sound like much, but it’s good for at least an extra 5 frames per second in most scenarios, and occasionally far more. It’s enough to push you right up or past the 60fps gold standard in today’s games at Ultra settings—something that the RX 470 can’t consistently do. It’s a crucial “smoothness of experience” threshold.

> The gap widens when you take results from the overclocked Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 (4GB) into account—and that’s the real killer for this card. The XFX Radeon RX 470 is the exact same price as the overclocked, custom cooled Nitro+. Both the $200 reference Radeon RX 480 and the customized Sapphire card offer superior performance to this tricked-out Radeon RX 470 for the same price or even less!

It seems that MSRP is $180, but actual cards are selling for $200+, which is the same price as the RX 480 4GB.

That is pretty stupid pricing.

Exactly, in Canada it's selling for $280-$330+, same as some GTX 1060s and many RX 480s.

Hope the price falls to significantly below RX 480 prices. $180 should be the absolute max for this card, given that it is 15-20% slower, on average.

First impressions are important. AMD might be making good GPUs, but it is screwing up with the launches.

Isn't it like 15% slower and like 20% cheaper? Seems fair.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 4GB RX480's were out of stock indefinitely while AMD and partners only sell $200 RX 470 and $250 RX 480 8GB. They got a lot of positive publicity with their $199 RX480 while the only cards they produce are the more expensive and more profitable 8GB variants.

No reference cards, only non-reference, and partners are not selling the card for $180. They are selling it for $200-$230, as best as I can tell.

Compared to RX 480 4GB reference to reference
89% core count
82,5% memory speed
95% clock speed

So it's a pretty good deal, concidering the fact that It propably clocks better like all cut down chips.

FUCK THIS SHIT
JUST WENT NITRO FURY MASTERRACE

t. the guy that bought a shit PSU and GTX 960 from best buy the other day lel

ayy lmao

What card?

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202187&ignorebbr=1

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236452&ignorebbr=1

bout to do it.

Although, I don't really care for the speakers on the monitor and could do without.

Isn't this a better buy?

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137018

GTX 1060.

It looks like a solid card. I can see why people don't care much either way if they get a 480/1060. I'm just thinking for a few shekels more I could rock the fury meme. But I wonder how the longevity of the card will be. If it's all the same I'd rather game on 1440p for 3 years at best than 1080 on a 480/1060, right?

It's 15% weaker and 0% cheaper, which is why it seems so retarded.
I thought this card's MSRP would be $150.

Is this card ever going to be recommended in any tier in your site? Pricing seems ridiculously skewed.

The Fury will have better performance at 1440p, so you are actually ok with getting it.

I am adding it now, but with a price warning.

D E S I G N A T E D

plain Fury or Fury X?

For the price of a Fury X, get the GTX 1070. The non-X Fury is competitive at 1440p, but I would get the 1060 if the screen is 1080p.

AMD has not released its big 14nm cards yet. Until it does, nVidia is ruling the $300+ cards.

For an i5 2500k, is the 1060 or 480 better? I have a 144hz monitor that is destroying old games that support the framerate.
Also, here in yuropoor, 1060 and 480 are equally priced.

If you can get them for the same price, get the 1060.
It's the overall faster card.
Your 2500k is good enough for almost every card on the market anyway.

If they are equally priced, the 1060 is better.

Thank you based tripfag.
Love the site by the way.

So the monitor looks ok?
$430 seems like a lot for a 1440p 60hz I guess, and I'm not liking what I'm reading about muh backlight bleeding, but that's standard fare with IPS isn't it?

>moose land
>rx470 is $300
>rx480 is $320
>1060 is $430
>1070 is $570

Seems pointless to get a 1060, and not just spend the extra and get a 1070.

980ti's have been going on clearance for $500~ though.

470 makes no fucking sense.

Screen is a bit pricey. For example, these items are $320, though 25" instead of 27".

This release has been an absolute shit show. Both companies have no stock at all. What the fuck man.

miners and buttcoins

prepare for a fucking flood of used rx480's when vega drops

Anyone waiting on vega are probably on 290s/390 or fury pros already. Only one retarded user side graded to the 480,

Right, it's dumb stuff dude.
Since dual 480's are supposed to be so good, I wonder if it would be worth it to go with dual 470's instead kek.

Damn, I fucked myself by not getting a 32" on Prime Day. I might just bite the bullet for that extra 2" because I recently had a 24" curve and while it was great, it could have gone a bit bigger.
My cousin has a lovely 32" HP with beets speakers he got for a steal. It's too big to sit right in front of as my eyes took a second to scan the whole screen. What's your honest opinion? It's JUST $90 more for 2", I wish I had a local store that actually carried 1440p's to check out.

The 8gb Nitro 470 is £220. Looks tempting.

i have a dying r9 290 here... i need a fucking card now...

i will probably get 2 r9 285 in crossfire/multigpu for around 220€ if everything breaks

I have both: 25" and 27" screens at 1440p. Both are great, and the difference is not so dramatic. The larger is more imposing, and maybe a bit easier on the eyes... or maybe I subconsciously prefer the slightly larger text.

It is not to buy something that expensive without checking it out first, no? Is there no place that you are visiting soon where you can compare?

>It's JUST $90 more for 2"
1440p at 27" is perfectly fine. Just know that you are paying more for size, with no other benefits. If that is cool with you, go ahead.

Don't fall for the crossfire/multi GPU meme.
It's almost always a better idea to just get a single card that is more powerful.

i will use it for LiquidVR

I want one of those magical cards priced at 200 bucks, please. Because in practice, the price of a 480 is certainly not 200 bucks.

The 25inch 1440p screens are pretty cool mang.

The increase in pixel density. is very nice, although plenty of people say it's too small for 1440p. See saying the size is useful, but I have some deskspace concerns on my end.

the heck were they thinking releasing 480 first
this is true value card for 1080p
even TDP around 130w

>It is not to buy something that expensive
I accidentally a word. "Not wise* to buy".

Honestly, 25" 1440p IPS panels are great, and if you use 2 monitors, I'm not sure why you would go over 25 inches, given how close it is on the desk, it easily fills your vision.

Someone really understand something from those frametime graph with multiple card plotted?

basicaly it is 390 for $180-190
MSI gaming x is 200.

nope, use guru3d

This is Tom's being retarded. You do not need the 770/280X/960/970 there. Why would you put 8 overlapping line graphs in one diagram?

At least found a javascript plot that can highlight the right line

God, never buy AMD Asus cards.

Hm, didn't expect this. Thought it will be in low 40s here.

Thanks, I plan to keep it at least until I replace my next GPU after the Fury. Really considering going 27" in that case because why not, what's $90 over 5/6 years?

Not sure if it's worth it for a 4GB reference card though. I'm a newb but everything I've seen has me believing that it's best to go AIB even, though it costs more. A hell of a leap from 4GB ref to a 8GB Nitro at $280 +s&h though!
At that point I said fuck it, what's another $70 and threw down for the Nitro Fury.

Yeah that higher pixel density would be nice. I can't believe how big just 25" was when I took a measuring tape against my old monitor.
But now you have me thinking!
If a 27" is too big too close to my face, what am I going to do? Push it back until it takes up the same area of my vision as a 25 lol. That, plus higher dpi has me leaning heavily to a 25".

I don't think I'm the dual monitor type, plus it wouldn't be fun gaming on two. I could see 3 working out, though.

There were drivers recently released which show the AMD card in a far kinder light on Tomb Raider.

Fuck. I just realized the 27" is in fact $110 more for those 2 inches hahaha. 25" it is!

Oh and one more thing, kinda a big deal. I don't see anywhere that is has Freesync. Kinda want that to go with my amd housefire.

Just waiting for that RX460
I want one just to have one, I don't want to give up my 750ti yet

I do not understand bottom-tier cards. I would just as soon play on a console and save some money.

Please, you are getting double the performance of a console, at least.

Might be something with the panel as lack of freesync was a downer when I was purchasing. I got the dell 2515 in the end as I wanted the nice stand and usb hub. You can force it to display at 72hz easily, probably more if you want.

please, someone give me a reason to upgrade from my 770

The 460 is an odd one though, low clocked and a cut chip, I know they're keeping the best chips for laptops, but there should be room for the full 1280core 1.3ghz sku and push the 460 down to a 450 name. The gap to the 470 is large, but cost difference isn't.

Lower power consumption, decent power, extremely low cost.
A 470 is a meh kind of card to me, and the 480 would consume about 3/5th's of my psu's output under load
The 460 looks cute and I want one for guts threads. And to have as backup for if the 750ti dies on me, but it's only a month old so I doubt it will happen soon

some user post cowadudy benchmark here 40 fps to 60fps and thats a lot for $200 gpu, what resolution do u play anyway?

There are plenty of reasons to upgrade from a shitty 680.

1080p @60hz. I think I am gonna get a 144hz monitor before upgrading cards

We still do not have the price for it, yes? Let us judge when it is out and benched.

That said, I hope for a better launch that this.

It's really not that price. Ontario turds pay 13% tax and BCucks pays 12%.

I was just thinking about the potential of the chip. it's tiny so it's going to have better yields and they're holding some back, it just feels like this one should be the 450 with the 460 being the fully unlocked and highly clocked polaris11. As I said, huge performance gap to the 470 but there's not enough room for it in the price range.

Rumours for the 460 are $99 and $119 2/4GB aren't they?

and nova scotia pays 15% + EHF rip

Hold on until Big Pascals go down in price or Vega.

Unless you want to go onto VR or 4Megapixel game wagon.

Prices in Europe are fucked up.

Canada same way.

Asides from US this is a fucking blunder.
What? I don't get what you're implying.

The tax on the $20 difference is fuck all.

As for the 1060 to 1070 you're paying an extra 160 bucks for 15% better performance that'll last longer.

>ASUS
Discard that review. OC3D says that asus is intentionally gimping the 470 by setting the temperature to 60c max even in an "overclock" setting. You can manually set it to 80c or higher, but most people wouldn't mess around with that anyway.

>What? I don't get what you're implying.

RX 470 more expensive than a 480 in France
1060 insane prices.

What would they have to gain from that?

what the fuck is up with asus and charging so much for their cards this time around?

$210 for their 470? $300 for their 480?

$330 for their 1060? $710 for their 1080 strix?

thought their robot automated pcb processing was post to LOWER prices not jack everything up.

also wizard from techpowerup needs to retire. he's past his prime for reviewing.

marketing.

its clocked to oc levels and runs cool!!!

>would you buy a card that performs AND looks worse and that is why we have decided not to give the Asus Strix RX470 any award.
>The Sapphire Nitro has gone down the other route............. It hasn't sacrificed everything for performance, but it's aimed squarely at the hardcore gamer and so it wins our OC3D Performance Award.

ouch

asus dun goofed with the 470 strix and still has the audacity to slap a premium price tag to it

wut u doin' asus?

No point buying this in europe, it's like 250€ while the 1060 is 300€

40W for idling two monitors

Why do you have so cheap cards in France?
Here in Sweden the 480 is 360€
And the 1080 costs 900€

>sweden
someone has to pay for the immigrant handouts Sven. maybe consider getting another job

AMD is shit.
