Some RX 480 4GB stuff leaking out.1080Mhz Clock

I was not aiming at you. But do you think, will Ieldra make similar post? It's quite fascinating, reading him on HOCP forum.

 

@realmadrid

Im reading that this version is buggy and the reviewers waiting for a new one!

 

If €/perf ratio is equal (in general that is and assuming the performance is the same - in this case though it's a question of budget) then it comes down to personal preferences which one has the features/things you like more. AMD has better display and video settings but I can live with NVIDIA's settings. NVIDIA has slightly better game related settings (adaptive v-sync, FXAA, ability enhance in-game MSAA level and TrSSAA is not tied to MSAA level) that I would and did miss. NVIDIA should completely overhaul their driver UI though...

If those things don't matter just flip a coin.

 

I think it'll come down mainly to what resolution you game at. 480 will do great at 1080p but will lack oomph at 1440p. Those needing 1440p grunt will probably buy a 1070.

 

The main difference will be the budget. And also actual pricing of the cards. Up to now, everything we have seen from both sides has been overpriced. leldra you say that the 1070 is $380, there is nowhere to be found (and actually bought) at that price. When it does, then it will matter. Same for the AMD pricing. In order to judge performance/dollar we need a "settled" market, and for now it's nothing but.

There is also the "good enough" factor that a lot of you forget, and that's mainly what AMD is going for here. If a $240 GPU is good enough to run everything close to max (or maxed) at 1080p60, why even bother with anything else? (I know a lot of us bother with everything else, but that's not my point here).

 

Nvidiainspector, gamestreaming+moonlight+ 3dVision are other great feature nvidia has... And i'll miss them badly if i'll go with the rx480
For this reason I'll wait 1060(ti?) and decide indeed.

 

Indeed. But like I said, if you're aiming for 1440p 60fps then you might want to look at something more powerful than the 480.

yeah, inspector is the main draw for me, I'd like to see AMD come up with something as good as inspector.

 

Surely it won't run future games all maxed in 1440p, but at decent setting it will I think. AMD has the great advantage that Polaris will be the core of Xbox Scorpio and PS4Neo that have the 1440mark
((Do not forget the struggle of Nvidia card on some badly ported games))

 

My comments are only negative in the context of hype and the possibility that p10 is underperform ing relative to what amd wanted. It's good for the price, I've said this many times, but there really is no reason for full p10 *not to* trade blows with a 1070, and for its price to reflect this

 

but it will run 1440p much better still.

AMD already have gpus in consoles, that's been the case for over 2 years and I can't see how it helped them gain an advantage. I wouldn't say ports run better on AMD period, that just isn't the case at all.

 

What part of GPU do you think will be limiting factor on 1440p with RX-480?

And Thank You Realmadrid for breaking composition of entire page with zoomed in image which tells 16.6.2.
Because it does not even show anything of interest.

To the keyboard warriors: "Get the F* out, Or get real."
You do not even remind me of HW enthusiasts. Those who actually do something real or even try here... I can count them on fingers.

 

Don't AMD cards generally behave better than NVIDIA cards when resolutions are raised? I feel that at 1440p the relative gap with the 1070 will be smaller.

 

The one where the 1070 delivers 60 fps while the 480 only 40-45. I'm not going to pinpoint where exactly it will happen but it will be a combination of things.

 

not really. the 1070 keeps up with the 980ti at 1440p just fine. at 4k the 980ti has a slight advantage.

Still, both at stock, 1070 beats the 980ti even at 4k most of the time.

See here... https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1070/24.html

The 1070 keeps the relative performance advantage against the 980ti through 1080p/1440p/4k. No issues here. And 980ti is the one with a lot of shaders and a 384bit bus which on paper should give it an advantage. Still, the compression on Pascals seems to be working great.

 

Console ports tend to focus on pixel shaders and compute shaders as opposed to geometry based effects because of the influence of gcn optimization for console though, and amd has traditionally had significantly higher Shafer throughput at every single price point, hence the relative improvement at high resolutions

 

There is also the "console settings" argument. My card is fine for example. It does 1080p60 at console settings, or 1440p30 at higher than console settings. For me that's really fine.

 

And there's nothing wrong with that. If I'm honest, if I gamed at 1080p, I would still be running my 970.

It's really down to what you want

 

Yeah, in that sense I understand where AMD is coming from completely. In a sense, this strategy is so that they gain more pure marketshare in the only place where they don't have an absolute monopoly, the PC market. The "good enough" argument is great since the vast majority of people (95%) are at 1080p and lower.

 

AMD need marketshare back and to build more trust towards their products, marketing Fury X as oc dream while it completely fail in it, isn't doing anything good, but nvidia is covered in **** much more than AMD, that's another thread though.

RX480 have the potential to become the best gpu per $ ever made, if it oc well to slightly below 980TI levels for 200$, and stock will be 980 performance, then it all well.

 

You I noticed with 480 at least thats what it LOOKS like. I like it.. I play at 3440 so..
