Time to buy a DVI to HDMI adaptor. :thumbsup:This is about the perfect card for me, it should best my overclocked 7950 by 50%+ while being a lot cooler. Only thing I sad about is the lack of DVI as my HDMI is populated by my Xbox One on my monitor. I'm a "Budget" gamer and dedicated my self to stay 1080p for a few more years until 4k is mainstream.
the 1080 seems to be a product that has no market.
One issue with your post, so far AMD has only confirmed >5 TFlops and that would only be ~1100 MHz. That 1266 MHz bench could have been a test to see general stability at higher clocks, similar to what Nvidia did with the >2000 MHz demo. I would stick with the lower spec unless proven otherwise.RX 480 = 1266mhz x 2304 shaders = 5.833 TFlops

In your computex presentation slide you claimed >5 TFlops compute performance with an SP count of 2304 and a tdp of 150 watts Some have taken this to mean that the shipping TDP of the RX 480 is 150 watts.
To me it seems that those figures were very deliberately chosen,as giving an exact TDP along with the other information you presented would have given away more of the performance profile of the chip than you desired to at this time.
Am I correct in assuming that the 150W TDP can be taken as a variable representing Max power draw just as your >5 TFlops rating is a variable representing the minimum amount of Tflops you will be offering with this GPU?
Both of these factors of course being heavily influenced by your as yet unannounced clocks I understand if you can't answer, however people are using this info to make flimsy arguments against your perf/watt improvement claims so I thought it worth mentioning.
Astute questions, but this veers into NDA territory. Let's revisit this soon.
I asked robert Hallock this on reddit take his reply however you'd like.

lol your comment "Maybe I should look for a career in tech journalism, it seems no one before me thought to ask these questions =p"
Believe me they asked or they're only allowed to ask certain questions. Welcome to NDA.
I was being tongue in cheek but when you have HC posting things like this
https://twitter.com/hardwarecanucks/status/737845240724234240
which if intentional is just FUD but I'll be generous and defer to Hanlon's Razor on that one.
Regardless these tech "press" deserve a good jab once in a while
//EDIT: To clarify this, the scaling from 1->2 GPUs in the dual RX 480 test we assembled is 1.83x. The OP was looking only at the lowest draw call rates when asking about the 51%. The single batch GPU utilization is 51% (CPU-bound), medium is 71.9% utilization (less CPU-bound) and heavy batch utilization is 92.3% (not CPU-bound). All together for the entire test, there is 1.83X the performance of a single GPU in what users saw on YouTube. The mGPU subsystem of AOTS is very robust
It has the same market that the 980Ti previously had.
This is about the perfect card for me, it should best my overclocked 7950 by 50%+ while being a lot cooler. Only thing I sad about is the lack of DVI as my HDMI is populated by my Xbox One on my monitor. I'm a "Budget" gamer and dedicated my self to stay 1080p for a few more years until 4k is mainstream.

Are those cards going to be as efficient as NVIDIA's offering?
The GTX 1070 pushes ~6.5 TFLOPS, 150W and requires a 8-pin pcie power connector.
The RX 480 pushes 5.5TFLOPS, 150W and requires a 6-pin pcie power connector.
and that has anything to do with the performance/benchmarks of polaris how? :thumbsdown:I think AMD January statement, which they claim that they will take back high GPU performance crown from Nvidia in 2016 that really did the damage to Polaris hype. When Pascal was near to launch , then only AMD said they are targeting mainstream market and totally change their position.
That is why it damaged some AMD market cap.
Stock price: AMD (NASDAQ) $4.13 -0.30 (-6.77%)
I'm interested in 1070 vs 480 bench marks graphs. Hopefully by the end of the month we will have some to look at.
If it performs similar in respect to fps then I could save myself a bit of money.
Well for me I will look at bench marks for fps at 1080p separately for each card. I don't care if one card is better than the other, is it really the better card for me per say.Nobody expects the 480 to compete with the 1070 in performance. There is very little doubt that the performance of the 480 will be lower than the 1070.
Stock 480 performance should be somewhere around what the stock 390x is now, give or take a few %.
