oh i don't want a new subsection, i just want to limit the number of threads (not in a hard limit way) where people just start going off into the weeds by providing a specific outlet for discussing dandelions, so to speak.
According to some users, the RX 570 is actually not the first rebrand of the RX 470. It's actually the 3rd rebrand!
RX 470 was originally available in 6.6Gbps (aka 1650MHz, aka ~211 GB/s). Go check out reviews from NDA expiring. August 4th last year. 6.6 is what was available.
Then AMD rebranded it to 7Gbps! And they also rebranded it to 8Gbps!

7.0: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150777
8.0: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202226&Tpk=N82E16814202226
That'll be 4 versions (3 rebrands) in less than a year once the 570 launches soon. 7850 rebrand record beaten already, and in less then a year!!
Or, you know, they later allow AIBs to use higher memory speeds that still exist alongside the newer ones (8Gbps 1060 will still be sold) and there's no rebranding (besides 500 name) at all. Hopefully AMDrebrandsoffers 9Gbps for some 500 series too.
Poster on reddit has a Rx 570!
Clock speeds of the Polaris 10 version for comparison:
RX 470 4 GB STRIX OC: Default Game mode 1250/1650, and OC mode 1270/1650.
RX 570 Price: $399 aud
RX 470 Price: $239 aud
Even if those scores and clocks are legit, the 1070 is still a half tier to a tier above in performance.
It just means that if the RX 580 is really clocked above 1400MHz out of box and is capable of 1500MHz+ OCs, it will be nipping at the heels of the Fury/X in most games at 1440p/4K, and potentially surpassing it at 1080p. Now if it actually ends up being a little bit cheaper than the RX 480 (Lithuanian price leak example is ~5% cheaper) then it would be a solid offering.
Performance similar to GTX 750 non ti,Any idea of how the RX 550 will perform and cost?
$35 like the GT710?
$60 like the GT730?
In other countries is still nowhere near that cheap. Cheapest in my country is $140 for 2gb model. So we need a fresh new card around $100(my currency) which is where hopefully the RX550 will slot in.Right now you can get a 2GB aftermarket RX 460 for $60 AR.
Hopefully there is no price premium over the rx460. Rx460 was a flop, this needs to be atleast 20% faster while not being more expensive. $99 for 2gb, $110 for 4gb. If its more expensive then 1050Ti is much faster.Wow, RX 560 will have 16 CUs and ~1300 MHz boost clocks. If the price is around 120-130€ it will be great offer
I really dont know what the hell they are doing for last entire year.They have so much time to do something but they just add 5% oc and call it rx580.5-6% higher clocks. this is a really awful rebrand. I hope AMD along with GF has atleast done some work to get lower power consumption than Rx 400 series. Its quite embarassing that AMD have to resort to rebrand to sell Polaris. The Polaris architecture is no match for Pascal in power efficiency.

I really miss ATI.
I'll remember people were expecting RX580 to match Fury/Fury X. Talk about absurd expectations.
But pascal can do 1900-2000mhz with 14nm..We are seeing how much better TSMC 16FF+ is compared to GF 14LPP. Xbox Scorpio has 2560 sp / 40 CU at 1172 Mhz while PS4 Pro had 2304 sp / 36 CU at 911 Mhz. Whats even better Scorpio has 384 bit GDDR5 memory bus while PS4 Pro has 256 bit GDDR5 memory bus. These console SoCs are generally designed for 90-100w TDP . So you can see how vastly superior TSMC 16FF+ is and how much thats helping AMD / Microsoft with Scorpio. The truth is AMD is limited by GF 14LPP in terms of clocks, atleast for Polaris. Must be really frustrating for AMD to be hurt by the process limitations.
And IIRC, PS4 Pro SoC is also produced in TSMCs foundry. So it's the design, not (just) the process
