Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro, Reference Cards Pictured

We can hope; what we are told is that 2x RX480's in Crossfire beat the GTX1080, which is going to be way more of a bargain price/performance wise. GTX1080 for $700 *cough cough, wheeeeeze COUGH* and 2x RX480's for $400-500.
Since when did multi-GPU scale well in most games?

2x RX480 will be better than GTX 1080 in some games...
 
Games that are FUN? Again, ART-STYLE?

Oh gaming can be fun... and not look like they had been drawn with markers.

"NVIDIA’s Pascal GPUs Inspired DICE To Add Hyper Settings for Mirror’s Edge Catalyst"
This is not about Nvidia marketing to add some supposed (yet another level just for Pascal's parts) improvement it's the lack-a-daisy graphic feel overall.

As Nvidia continually marching to provide for their own "Eco-System" within PC gaming if that what make business sense for them good. It will soon enough be a question; are you on PlayStation, X-Box, Nvidia, or a open PC gaming platform?

And games can be fun...and look like they were drawn with markers. Games dont have to match crysis to be fun.
 
Well that's one technique. Personally when I first saw a ball rolling around and the cast shadow would follow along, even pass along a wall as it replicated re-life I was impressed. But then I was 24, at the time and computer animation was a wonderland now it looks like a waste land.

You're getting old. Everything is sh*t when you get old... the future never lived up to its promise, it was better in your day, people are stupid, youth is wasted on the young, the world is going down the toilet... and so on. Get yourself some prozac and smile.

Surprisingly you're no "spring chicken" either... Interestingly you'd rather fling all kinds diversions insults, and not an opinion, did I hit a nerve? You might want to see a medical professional for yourself, rather than proffer such advice.

Edit: Opp's my bad I thought you where that Eroticus member, my mistake if you where joking

Prozac is for the weak
 
I love how people speak and gives opinions based on what they think is right or based on some other people thoughs or rumors.

I have a 780Ti with 3GB of VRAM and a 3440x1440 monitor. Guess what? ALL the games you guys talk about that they need more than 4GB of VRAM for higher res, are ALL working like butter on my monitor. GTA 5, Far Cry Primal (what a garbage), Mirror's Edge C., Witcher 3, Assassins Creed, NFS, etc, none of them are stuttering because of lack of VRAM or going lower than 35fps (minimum).
If a game uses more than 4GB of VRAM it doesn't mean that it requires more than 4GB of VRAM. People still fail to understand that...

Let's just put it here for now :)

Note how Titan X disappeared from that chart.
Some people bothered zooming in and checking for artifacts.
And concluded it's fake.

Anyhow, 480 is either between 970/980 or between 480/Fury (non-X) is a safe bet. :)
 
I know that you are all going to point at me with bazookas, but anyway, let's have some fun until the 29th. We can come back to reality after that date anyway....

I'm one of those who got angry watching yesterday's "reveal". (it was first time ever I actually watched such event live)
Lisa Lu holding 460 and 470 in hands, some stupid clip about AMD lab and OMG Zen.
OMG Zen what, pretty please? Oh, it can run Doom. Who would freaking have thought! What a breakthrough, thank you so much for revealing that!

What the f*cking hell, guys, does this "amazing amazing", "OMG OMG OMG" (I recall nVidia's Huang had a bonkers lady who was OMG-ing on everything), even work?
Why are they even bothering doing it?

PS
Thanks for VC leak, looks legit. I wonder where the hell is Fury (non X) in that chart.

PPS
So, 480 is 70-73% of 1070's performance, according to the chart above.

Just wanted to say, this has been confirmed as fake.

As for the whole 2x GPUs, I just hope AMD starts releasing 2xGPU single card versions. I dont have space for crossfire :P
 
At the $200 price point, beating a R9 390X and drawing less power, we all know the RX 480 is going to rock! I want one, and you know you want one to.

I actually want one. I recently sold my R9 290 and I need a replacement. But I'm pretty sure it won't debut at $199. Reason being at that price, demand will drive it up to at least $229 if retailers aren't that much of a bunch of d****. It's priced to sell like hotcakes and that's exactly what will happen.

Edit: And I just saw that the $199 will be for the 4GB version. Damn AMD. Now we might be looking at a $299 8GB version -_-
