5 MHz gap between Sapphire / PowerColor and only 1 point difference in FSU GPU score, so it might well be above 2907 pts at 1050 MHz. I agree that's nitpicking at this point (margin of error %).
Still, I wonder where those WCCFTech results come from. If not 100% fake, maybe overclock results?
Before people with crazy overclocked GM200 start comparing, don't forget this:
Partners, SUCH AS ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Galax, GigaByte, the MSI are the with the Preparing Custom Boards 2-3. 8-PIN Connectors. ACCORDING to our sources, reaching 2.5 GHz using a liquid cooling setup such as Corsair H115i or EK waterblocks should not be too much of a hassle.
Geforce GTX 1080 @ 2.5 GHz - 3DMark Scores:
Fire Strike: 31.286
Fire Strike Extreme: 15.280
Fire Strike Ultra 7.369

Not impressed with that cooler. Should be pretty easy to improve on that from the AIB's
Double standard much ? But what to expect..
FWIW here's my stock Sapphire 390X Tri-X on Firestrike Ultra:

Searching though my post history. There's plenty to pick from your posts as well, but don't worry, I'll save it from more threadcrapping.
By the way, it was a rumour from VR-World posted all over different hardware forums:

AMD stock coolers are usually pretty poor...
Yes, the 290X cooler sucked.
But people that have used the 480 cooler say it is quiet and works good.

Sweepr said:Nice, better than TweakTown. GPU score: 2969.
One would expect so though. The 290X had a much higher TDP so that cooler had to displace more heat.
You really need to wait until Vega drops before we can make a fair comparison.

I appreciate that you also posted the GPU clock for reference: 1080MHz....wait you did not.
Technically that's still the stock clock on my 390X. That's how Sapphire shipped it.
It is beyond me that NOBODY sees how 3dMark stats transfer into real world gaming performance, especially in DX12 titles.
I suggest confronting these scores with the scores from 3dMark benchmarks.
And then trying to draw any conclusions how will RX 480 perform.
The bolded part lost me.
Your saying we need to wait for Vega to be launched before we can see if the stock cooler on Polaris is good or not? Or did you mean we have to wait and see how the stock cooler on Vega performs before we can see if AMD learned their lesson?
Glo. you picked 2 of the few games AMD cards are known to perform much better at than in the majority of games... Biased.
A simple Google search would save you some embarassment. 1055 MHz for the Tri-X, so only 5 MHz above AMD's 'stock' 1050 MHz. Not my fault that these specific Radeon RX 480 results can't match certain VGAs with updated drivers. Now please keep your personal attacks and OT out of my thread.
The second part. 290X is a 250W TDP part, Polaris 10 is only 150W. The card should run more quietly and and at lower temps unless AMD really screwed the pooch. It would be more fair to compare it to the 270, which was also a 150W part.
I don't doubt that it's a better overall design, but the logic used to support that idea was suspect.
Why do amd need that reference stuff anyway?
Look how successfull 390 launch was vs practicall all other stuff and thats even with something more rebranded than properly facelifted. I dont understand why they dont keep their dirty engineering hands off and let the aib do the work. Might even help on kyles temper
