AMD Radeon R9 480 perf is Close to R9 390X

I agree, the reason I said that above is I can't justify the reason it should be "R9 480" and 390(X) equivalent, I call it pure non-sense and a sidegrade not upgrade for a 380X owner, who would now sell a 380 to buy a 380X anyway?

 

We can get a rough estimate of clocks from the ALU test I posted above by the way, assuming optimization for Polaris is similar to 390x in this test, 390x gets 1000 in this, nice round number

polaris gets 70% of that

ends up at around 900mhz assuming 2304 SPs

i doubt it's polaris 11 because this ***very rough estimate*** would put it at 1600mhz

funnily enough it's close to the leaked ps4k clocks, i'd expect it to be clocked higher for PC

 

Remember, AMD showed Polaris 11 running Battlefront 3 @ 60FPS @ 1080p -- which is the same FPS as a 380.

So this is probably Polaris 11, if anything.

 

I compared the results to a 380 in terms of % earlier in this thread and thought this comes close to 380x. Even tho in some of those tests it loses to a 270x mtexels for example.

I do think it is a Polaris 11. But that is said in the article already also, that it is rumored to be a Polaris 11.

These tests tho I do not like at all since they seem to be all over the place and we cannot see the rest of the systems at all.

 

Define "messed up". Be thoughtful not to make fool out of yourself. I wonder how many sentences, you can make.

 

You can tell he never used an AMD card so knows squat.

 

Tried not to hop on this train, but since I've been saving for Polaris 10 (480X, whatever is the top before Vega) this has me slightly worried. Basically I'm looking for 10% improvement over my current card since I'll be on 1080p using things like VSR for the foreseeable future.

It looks like AMD is going for the more "970" approach this time around. By that I mean smaller core, less clusters/ROP/TMU things, much smaller bus width, but all with sky high clocking OC potential. Compared to the 290/390 family that have HUGE bus width and big cores and are able to heat my house, I wouldn't mind trying a card that is under 200W when overclocked and overvolted.

I suppose only time will tell, but I hope for AMD and gamers alike that things go well for the red team.

 

You'll get your upgrade, if 10% is all you're looking for!
Same number of SP, new arch, clocks etc etc...esy peasy 10%

ehh under 200W OC/OV-ed...

10% is weak, but this I would love. Although this will be a matter of luck.
And once you start OC/OV-ing, power can quickly shoot up to a whole different level.

 

Weak in OpenGL with an undisclosed unoptimised driver for the platform. OpenGL is redundant anyway.

 

The leaked bench might be Ellesmere Pro?

this made no sense at all

 

Well it is in Chinese, won't make sense unless you speak it, translators suck.

Ellesmere pro is the cut down Polaris 10 SKUs in the new Playstation 4.
