AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

[thedavexp]

That can't be right..

4K..

With 4x MSAA.

38 FPS!! I don't believe.

To be fair the detail is turned down a tad but it looks to be the same rig they were using at computex.

I suggest the opposite - if you can wait, skip the reference blower and get AIB.

I will say that if you held onto your 7970Ghz for 4 years, a GTX1070 is probably a more worthwhile upgrade. 1070 is more than 2x faster than your card (280X).

Yea I'll probably wait for both cards to get benchmarks just because I'm very particular when it comes to making these decisions. I do like keeping my stuff longer too and since I may buy a 1440p monitor this summer I would most likely benefit more from the 1070. We shall see.

38fps is believable if we're talking averages. My guess is frame times are all over the place and minimum is in the teens.

Any ideas where the 480 would slot into this picture?

Newegg is discounting the 390s. Worth it to get one on sale or wait for 480? Is the 480 going to be better than 390x,390?

Worth the wait since it should be better if you don't need it right away.

Based on the discussion in the previous page...maybe? Sounds like people are expecting a slight improvement over the 390, nearer to the 980, but who knows? My plan is to wait until the reviews drop on the 29th and go from there. At least that'll allow 1070 availability to stabilize.

 

[Qwertilot]

Well definitely in one important way - much lower power draw guaranteed
(Even if it the possible, 'huge' 150w, that's << than a 390/X and vastly easier to cope with in a normal build.).

Faster == goodness knows, probably not meaningfully. There'll be some new features which some things will like, less memory bandwidth which other things won't etc. Probably a lot of silly arguments too!

And definitely wait for the better AIB cards if possible - they've shown multiple times that cards with this sort of power draw can be cooled basically silently.

 

[96Firebird]

its a safe bet they all have 480s waiting for the nda to expire.

Source please.

:awe:

Definitely worth the wait in my opinion.

HDMI 2.0, DP1.4, Hvenc encode/decode, reduced power draw. Even IF similar performance, which I doubt [I believe it's better], a couple weeks is nothing relative to years of ownership.

They lied about competition not supporting async compute or shader intrinsics so them setting up an unfair comparison wouldn't really surprise me that much.

Except of course NV did enough of that themselves:

GPUs Supporting DirectX 12.. hmm
Fermi, Maxwell, Pascal..

DX12 Features (as pointed out by NV)

au contraire non amie

DX12

Conservative Raster ?
Tile Resources ?
Typed UAV ?
Async Compute*

(*DX12 No, mention of "Only when using CUDA")

But I guess Paxwell addressed most of those concerns

@flynnsk
Don't waste your time with renderstate, he still believes NVIDIA has real Async Compute for DX12/Vulkan.

thanks for the warning.

 

[dark zero]

Mmm... I am waiting for Polaris 11. Is the perfect budget card for Dual Cores and i3/ FX 4300.

And definately will come as passive.

If you look on the perfil the guy just registered to shill for the 10XX series.

Seems amd has a superb line up for gamers this fall.

So FPS for 390X? Lower or higher than 390X?

If it's the rig from computex isn't this a xfire result?

Nope, the AotS benchmark database lists quite clearly when you are using multiple GPUs (note that as mentioned, the settings are different here, so the results are not comparable)

It's not the rig from computer, it's a single card on the bench

 

[VulgarDisplay]

So 38 fps in 4k with 4xmsaa seems VERY promising for a $199-229 card.

Someone testing out overclocking perhaps?

 

[Glo.]

38 FPS in 4K resolution is higher than Titan X.

That could be very possible. Been awhile since a lineup of Radeons came out that could overclock well.

The 1266 clock number that's been seen seems fairly low for what we've seen on 14/16nm process. This is purely speculation, but if we translate clocks from last generation into what we can expect for an OC on AMD with 14/16nm then Nvidia's 1950-2100mhz max overcocks, could put rx480 overclocks in the 1700-1800mhz range.

Again that's just pure speculation based off overclocks from last generation. I could see the rx480 picking up quite a lot of ground on gtx1070 at that clock speed especially if memory speeds start to limit both cards.

Even on a Hawaii GPU you could see a nice jump in performance on a $199 GPU at those clock speeds.
