Not sure what you are expecting here, the 480 isn't going to do well at 4K, it's just not equipped for that. I'm pushing the limit hoping that it will handle 1440p decently.
It should handle 1440p but don't expect to turn up everything. If by the time the AIB models are out, if the 1070 drops to MSRP, I may be tempted to go for that. Then again I'm not buying a new monitor yet. Pretty much anything would be better than what I have now. I'm giving my card to my brother since he has a crappy gpu.

What...If AMD can't deliver 4k @$200 were doomed for many years.

Reviews should be interesting. Guess we'll find out not soon enough.

If Gibbo expects to move 500 cards day one there is a reason for it and its not color or tdp. Its performance for £

That's a far stretch. Not many cards can do 4k even right now smoothly. But we can always dream and hope.

tired of firestrike, just gimme real performance in actual games, please

and I hope AMD's drivers aren't an unstable disaster at launch, or I might just cough up more money for a GTX 1070

Yes. Except the standard clock of plus 15% for cards sold. Meaning in reality faster for consumers.

The vast vast majority of consumers don't overclock, and I very much doubt that your average aftermarket 480 will come factory overclocked to 1450 MHz (not to mention that AIB versions wont be available for a while).

So no it is not faster in reality (if those 3Dmark number are to be trusted, and actually reflect game performance).

Nice looking board. Decent quality as usual for AMD's reference designs, although this is no nuclear power plant like Hawaii reference boards' VRM were (obviously). Should be fun to see if AIB overbuilt boards let this little chip overclock better.

With this perspective and clear shot, GPU measures 233-235mm² as rumored.



Seems no one bothers running anything else than 3dmark... oh well, just a few more days until reviews.

Still a hair below Radeon R9 390X with 1-year old drivers:


"a hair" is actually an exaggeration, seeing as the difference is only 0.75%, and that's against a 390X which is overclocked by 0.95%.

They are for all intents and purposes equivalent.

I don't get what these fire strike and 3dmark scores provide. If you are buying a gpu to mine exclusively I see that. Or maybe you buy one just to stress and bench that's all then the scores make sense.

I buy mine to play games so real world benches make more sense. Still gotta wait until next week for any of that.

They dont overclock manually. But they can push a botton that says: "i want my cards 20% faster".
I am just saying there is a reason Gibbo expects to move half the 1080 ammount on day one. What else could it be?

More 3dmark and Firestrike scores... D:

I cannot find any actual game benchmarks using the 480. Do any exist? I'd much rather discuss game benchmarks, because playing Firestrike is some boring shit.

All these people having hands on these GPUs and not one has put up a single relevant benchmark? I find this frustrating and even slightly suspicious.

Still a hair below Radeon R9 390X with 1-year old drivers:

In your previous message you posted a rumored RX 480 score, and then three four Firestrike Ultra benches for "Reference", where 390X had scored higher. Someone then posted a higher 480 score, where the 480 scored higher than 390x in all your reference benches (and 980 in some). Now you came back and found another Firestrike Ultra bench where 390X is just a "hair" above 480, dismissing all the "references" that you yourself posted a page ago.

Why is it so important to prove that a card's rumored score is a hair below some other card? Can you understand, why such behavior makes all your posts appear to have an agenda? I'd suggest, letting go of these hair above or hair below comments, and wait for the real reviews to come in.

People probably tell him what to post. Got to keep on keeping on.

No it didn't. From last page:


Also, looks like WCCFTech benchmarks were fake:

Technically they shouldn't be releasing anything. Card is still under NDA. I think the benchmarks release "accidentally" because they are saved on the DB. Might be a little bit of a sheild for a reviewer called out on it.
