Nice work. Honestly I don't know why your results differ so much from what everyone else is reporting, but hey we'll soon be seeing actual reviews of the RX 480 so it doesn't really matter.
Correct, I did my testing in game. However, since you mentioned it, I went ahead and and did the benchmark run with EDS disabled, and then set to 70%
The result on the right is with it disabled, and the one on the left is enabled @ 70%.

Yeah he chooses odd settings for the hardware being tested in all his RX 480 vids.Wonder if it was cpu or gpu limited? That 6400 is clocked pretty low. Maybe it was just the video, but it seemed to be stuttering a few times even though the framerate looked good.
For those who said they cared. :thumbsup:
He redid the GTA V benchmark. (still on unofficial drivers I assume)
GTA 5 RX 480 + i5-6400 Benchmark
Not sure either? Anyway, I with you. I just made the video for fun, it's pretty much like someone said - Apples to oranges - I'm really excited for this card.

I have no clue, sorry.What exactly is he using to record?
Because if he is using software, yeah right, good luck with that.
Yeah, that's the special Raja edition that's been floating around on the Hard forums. :biggrin:I've seen this image of the VisionTek RX 480 box floating around a few places. Not sure if it's real or not, but it's definitely funny:

That's a pretty bold statement from RTG.
Delivering 90% of the performance for less than half the price?
Though this would be versus the 1070 rather than 1080.
Yeah, remember how everyone was saying AMD never made hype, we did it to ourselves? All they ever said was VR performance for cheap?
Welp so much for that.
The current leaks make it hard to believe that even just 480:1070 will be anywhere close to 4870:280. Of course we will find out in less than a week, but I'd rather not have the PR machine act this way. It actually makes it more likely to be slower based on jinxing.

We outlined AMD's "new" GPU strategy in our Radeon HD 4850 preview article, but in short AMD has committed to designing GPUs for the mainstream $199 - $299 segment and simply using CrossFire (multi-GPU) to address higher end markets. NVIDIA on the other hand will continue to make very large monolithic GPUs in order to continue to push the industry forward. Both approaches are appreciated and necessary, they simply target different markets.
When the smoke clears, AMD's strategy is to simply build a GPU for the masses and attempt to scale it up and down. While NVIDIA is still building its GPUs the same way it has for decades, starting very large and scaling down.
Cards are already in retail shops and etailers. I've confirmed this with several big ones here.
Any word on the quantity? It's all well and good that cards are ready for sale, but if they've only got a handful per shop it hardly matters.

The one that I intend to buy a few RX 480s from, has "large volumes of stock" last week.
