That's the complete marketing campaign ... time to move on to multiple campaigns per post, the records are meant to be broken

Not more than 5%


Yes, ASUS just put the golden traces on the socket, which end after a cm or so. You can see on the PCB shots that they have no terminating circuitry

Ain't the TMU count is 56? The first page wrongly said 48.

True, it should be 56. That leaked old slide had wrong tmu count(48), which seems to mess some reviewers.

Fixed, thanks!

Very underwhelming performance. I wasn't expecting a lot of this card, but even at the minimum tested resolutions it struggles in a lot of games.

460 still with drivers very inmature, with Async, 4GB , DP 1.4 / HDR, etc

vs

950 2gb with drivers legacy , with out Async , highter power consumtion , oh wait..

Oh wait, you should probably know what you are talking about before linking that image.

Every card that is not the current generation ends up there. It has absolutely nothing to do with support, but hey fanboys will be fanboys.

Yeah used settings are too much for this card, not single one test gives over 60fps on 1080p. Maybe W1zzard should make a parallel test portfolio for low/mid end cards, with only 900p and 1080p res and mid/high settings. That Diashow on 2160p must have been quite painful to watch . I liked Bit-tech review the most for showing results with more earth like settings for such a card.

I would love to see a test with this card done with all the "eSport" games that this is aimed for; LoL, DOTA2, WoW, CSGO, HS, rocket league / whatever. (not saying Techpowerup should change their test-case for this in general), but I think this is what matters to potential buyers of this card

About €130 for the 2GB version and more than €150 for the 4GB version. The R7 360 was/is about €110, and there were 1GB versions of that card. The entire Polaris line is slightly too expensive here.

EDIT: The best bang/buck card to buy now is definitely the GTX 970.

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

Talk about a disappointment. I am moving to a tiny HTPC as my main desktop, and was really hoping that a 460 would be good, but looking at that performance....if it cant beat a 950, then what is the point? There is no upgrade there.

Man, if nvidia releases a 1050, AMD isnt going to have much of a market at all. And here I was hoping for some actual competition at the low end. Polaris is a generation or two behind nvidia at this point, and is just turning into failure after failure.

 

[Captain_Tom]

Completely fair summary at the end there.


At $110 this card is an excellent entry level card that decimates its surrounding competition (750 Ti, 260X, 370) with better performance and efficiency. But the second you price it at $140 - $150 it is a pathetic value proposition.

 

[xorbe]

I wish 750Ti was in the charts, just curious. Ah, here we can estimate that 750Ti is 72-74% of 950 at 1080p, which would be 72-74% of RX460 also. So RX460 is approx 40% faster than 750Ti.

@W1zzard Can you PLEASE include Warface when you review these low-end and mid-range cards?

 

[PopcornMachine]

Great price/performance.

Too bad that performance doesn't include playing games.

the end production of maxwell happen some months before the series maxwell change to legacy drivers=product mode.

aaaaah what a sadness , keep dreaming than the legacy mode does not exist.

Sure it does, as long as you lower the settings. If you read the review from a 2GB/$110 view it's actually quite good.

 

[FYFI13]

They say it was made for e-sports? Intel/AMD integrated graphics can do that. For free. Scan.co.uk selling this card for 169.99 GBP Absolute maximum i would pay for this, thing, would be 69.99. Maybe.

That would be the steal of the century.

169.99GBP for this joke... It IS the steal of the century.

You have no idea what you are talking about. GameGPU has no credibility what so ever, and I don't know what Kepler has do with your talk about Maxwell?
You apparently believe that drivers is everything and that the underlying architechture is somehow irrelevant.

Sure dude.

Some said AMD’s drivers were lacking while others went so far as to claim NVIDIA may have purposely crippled Kepler’s performance in an effort to drive 900-series sales. None of that was evident after running through each game’s respective benchmark scene at least four times over.

Over here the 4GB Sapphire Nitro is priced at Rs 13999 (210 USD) !!! and the 2GB one @ 180 USD...

 

[ASOT]

Not worth it

Matching a 950 released one year earlier and on a much smaller process has fail written all over it in my book. Nobody is going to buy ~$100 cards for DX12 anyway so that's a moot point.
