There will be a display port to dvi adapter as someone mentioned here in the thread with a pic of the back of the box. If your monitor has hdmi you can just use an hdmi cable. I only have a dvi monitor and my mobo has hdmi as well as display ports.I want to buy 480 as soon as its out but I wonder if my monitor - samsung s23a700d

If this monitor will be able to be used with rx 480?
Also I have only cable like this - http://www.cvpoxford.co.uk/img/dvi.jpg
but since this monitor also has hdmi port I will just need to buy one cable, right? Nothing more.
I think you're right.Well, if you would ask me, what type of games are possibly ROP limited to a higher degree, i would answer games with above average resolution with simple shaders while running at above average framerate - in short games with low shader performance requirement per pixel. I think this fits nicely to the SteamVR benchmark.
I remember reading somewhere that the RX480 was supposed to have the VR performance of a 500$ card however....And honestly, if i were AMD, i would not have doubled the ROPs just because RX480 is closer to 390 instead of 390X in one benchmark, which could be regarded as worst case. You never tailor the architecture to extremes if you are a clever architect.
AMD said:[...] Set for launch and availability on June 29th, the Radeon RX 480 will deliver the worlds most affordable solution for premium PC VR experiences, delivering VR capability common in $500 GPUs.
.37/kWh in Hawaii, how do people live?
Team Green is
I cannot take anyone's post on this forum seriously who recommended GTX750/750Ti over R9 270/270X and GTX950/960 over R9 280X/380X/R9 290, but then turns around and pushes GTX1070 over the RX 480. Back then a $250-280 R9 290 was as fast as $400 GTX960 SLI.
It's absolutely baffling and shameful that this even needs to be explained. I don't understand where the rabid Nvidia fanboyism developed or why it exists, but holy hell it is nothing but a massively negative force on the entire GPU market.
You're probably right. Looking at my bill I pay .06 per kWh for "Energy Charge", .019 per kWh for "Peak Capacity Charge", .016 per kWh for "Fuel Adjustment", and .010 per kWh for "Regulatroy Adjustment". My total electricity charge divided by my kWh used was .11 cents a kWh. In the winter it looks like I averaged closer to .10 per kWh on my bill.
That's because the Valve VR benchmark score is not linear in the framerates. As such it gives you a wrong impression of distance.
Imagine going to a bar/pub and seeing "Draft beer 99¢". The bar keeper comes over and says, "That'll be $2.00." The cost of recycling the keg, a line fee for the tubing and upkeep, gratuity, environmental fee for the cost of providing heat lights etc...,parking fee, weekend or after hours fees when applicable, and any other stupid fee they could think of.
Gotta love utility companies.
Yea you will be fine. Since your monitor has an hdmi port just get the hdmi cable or use the adapter that comes with the card for your dvi port.3d?
I dont want to use 3d by the way, so will I be okay with just buying one new hdmi cable?
I'm not really into VR gaming or familiar with this benchmark, but can anyone explain how it scales or what the numbers actually mean?

Does the same thing happen using the included dvi adapter? If that's the case then waiting for aib models seems like the right choice.Except that with an HDMI cable he will be limited to 60Hz. Which kind of makes having a 120Hz display a waste.
Yep, many people don't care about actual gaming but want to "win".
I've bought more Nvidia cards than AMD ones, but I'm firmly buying AMD until Nvidia supports open standards like Adaptive-Sync and stops lying to their customers about hardware / software specs (3.5GB, Async Compute support in Maxwell, etc).
I'm still unsure what I'll buy, the legit 480 reviews on Wednesday will probably make my decision, but I'd be lying if I said Nvidia fanboys didn't make me want to buy a 480 purely out of spite.
SSBrain gave some details one page back. You might want to find hist post
the throttling issues of the ref design might sway you to nVidia

So you can be guaranteed throttling with "premium" FE cards?
But-but-but the GTX 960 ~170W peak power savings over 290 of averaged 2 hours daily of gaming everyday @ $15 per year.
Bonus points raving about negligible NV power savings while still using a power guzzling OCed X58 rig just on idle.

I'm not saying the FE cooler is any better (I mean it probably is but it has to dissipate a bit more heat too)
just saying the ref cooler on the RX 480 is worse than what Intel includes with their lowest end desktop CPUs (and they got about 1/4 TDP of this gpu) and it will make RX 480 throttle hard.
What source do you have for any of this?
