GP107/108 say hello:

I don't see Polaris 10 getting that much lower in power at that speed. GCN as an architecture will always use more power than what nVidia has been putting out. AMD is not about to remove all their compute power, so their power usage is not going to drop. nVidia will eventually need to add compute back, or do some other major architectural change in the future for the DX12 world.
I am sure the 485 will be more efficient, but don't expect a huge drop in power consumption.
some will never learn and/or have a very short memory :|Thats a two month old rumor article...
The 1050 is (now) rumored to be late fall release time. It would be the competitor to the RX 470. To our knowledge there is nothing that fits in to the RX 460 bracket from nVidia. Although the 1050 may be one of those chips that falls between those two.

Fact: As today, AMD has only Polaris 10 on shelves when Nvidia launched GP100, GP102, GP104 and GP106
Plus, JHH said to investors last quarter that all Pascal GPUs have been tape out and they will roll out very quickly. Moreover, everybody knows Nvidia is a fierce competitor so they won't let AMD alone in any segment (by price reduction or new product introduction). It's really not so hard to understand and I don't even know how we can argue...
ranges from 150$ to 179$ even a 179$ 470 would be ok if the performance is within 10%.
Unfortunately for AMD the GF 14LPP process has hampered its potential. This chip needed to clock at 1400 Mhz and draw power of 120w. I think we will see a second revision of Polaris chips as mentioned in the Rx 400 series naming scheme once the process issues are worked out. I think the Rx 485 will come in Q1 2017 and eventually prove to be a very good chip.
I would love to get Raja drunk and try to get out of him whether or not they're disappointed with the GF 14nm process or these are just design limitations with regards to power consumption. AMD packs a lot more under the hood than Nvidia does with compute and ACE's and I wonder if they'll ever be able to approach NVidia levels of efficiency with GCN without cutting things out of the design.
They dont have to cut down anything, GCN is extremely efficient if you use DX-12 and Vulkan. I will really like to see the power consumption of the entire system using Pascal dGPUs in DX-12 and Vulkan vs Polaris 10 and even Fury NANO.

The Sapphire Nitro preorders on Amazon.com are the #1 and #2 best selling video cards:

I kind of want to pre order one since I've been looking forward to these except I already ordered a Gsync monitor a day ago and now I'm looking for 1070's. Just curious how it would do.
I think you have a 1440p monitor and I suppose you will be running this at native resolution. I'm curious how most games would do at that res.Anything in particular you want me to check? I uh, might have ordered 4 of the 4GB model. Expect another 4GB teardown thread whenever I get them...
I'm mostly interested in what GDDR5 chip(s) they are using. Hopefully they are 8Gbps Samsung parts, but we will see. I think it would be wishful thinking to hope for 8Gb chips for 8GB unlockable, though.
For my pessimism about the 480 vs 1060 (prior to launch), I had said the perf per watt would make it non-competitive, but it is now clear I was wrong.
RX 480 are selling amazingly well within my region and a quick search globally shows the same trends.
On social media and tech forums, the reason for gamers buying 480 over the similar priced 1060 is always the same: future proofing. Looks like AMD's marketing push for these next-gen API and the Doom w/ Vulkan has really hit home.
AMD share just passed $6 mark (more than tripling within a few months!), if Zen delivers, we could see a return to $12 by the year's end.
I kind of guessed it would do pretty well. If I wasn't getting a 1440p monitor this would be a cheap upgrade for me as a stop gap.
