When's the next news for rx470 and rx460?

You gotta play at 30fps for another 2 months.

Or get a RX480

Should be soon. At least 1 month I suppose.

One thing to note that the number of RX 480 that has that PCI-E issue is very little, at least based on what we know. We are investigating on why it's happening.

The RX 480 meets PCI-E compliance testing with PCI-SIG. This is not just our internal testing. As for the reports, looks like there are a few that exhibiting this anomalous behavior and we've been in touch with these reviewers to understand how this could be possible.

My r9 270x isnt working now and im having a tough choice on whether to wait for the new rx470 or to get the gtx 960. Any suggestions?

Hello, hard to give you any recommendation when RX 470 isn't out yet.

AMD HQ. 5th July 2016.

Cheap is relative. It should be priced according to MSRP, which is USD239 for 8GB card. Even with the GST, it should not be RM1299.

I think this is exactly how AMD Malaysia been thinking. Can imagine in their meeting, someone suggested: "Since it performs around GTX970 performance, instead of pricing it USD239/sub RM1k, we price it slightly below GTX970".

This is hilarious... troll or not?

PCI-E slot died with RX 480

Pity that guy, harassed by AMD fanboys.
Kekeke...

So 1060 is coming in hot

When is AMD going to reduce the overly stupid price for RX 480?

i heard somewhere it might be reduced, but dont count on it, i personally doubt it.

even if you get from Amazon MSRP +$30 shipping is already RM1100, that is for 8GB btw.

also 1060 wont be cheaper than 480 if it is 980 level.

We promised an update today (July 5, 2016) following concerns around the Radeon™ RX 480 drawing excess current from the PCIe bus. Although we are confident that the levels of reported power draws by the Radeon RX 480 do not pose a risk of damage to motherboards or other PC components based on expected usage, we are serious about addressing this topic and allaying outstanding concerns. Towards that end, we assembled a worldwide team this past weekend to investigate and develop a driver update to improve the power draw. We’re pleased to report that this driver—Radeon Software 16.7.1—is now undergoing final testing and will be released to the public in the next 48 hours.

In this driver we’ve implemented a change to address power distribution on the Radeon RX 480 – this change will lower current drawn from the PCIe bus.

Separately, we’ve also included an option to reduce total power with minimal performance impact. Users will find this as the “compatibility” UI toggle in the Global Settings menu of Radeon Settings. This toggle is “off” by default.

Finally, we’ve implemented a collection of performance improvements for the Polaris architecture that yield performance uplifts in popular game titles of up to 3%1. These optimizations are designed to improve the performance of the Radeon RX 480, and should substantially offset the performance impact for users who choose to activate the “compatibility” toggle.

AMD is committed to delivering high quality and high performance products, and we’ll continue to provide users with more control over their product’s performance and efficiency. We appreciate all the feedback so far, and we’ll continue to bring further performance and performance/W optimizations to the Radeon RX 480.

May I know the full system that you guys do this benchmark ?

Thanks.

RSVP now for the official KL Polaris launch event!

@AMDmy, will you highlight in the event the MSRP for RX480 8GB ? My bet is you won't.

I'm pretty sure they'll convert it to MYR already by then, which is RM 1299.

It will be a killer card if it is priced according to the msrp

I feel the same. It's good now but it could've been great.

What's the point of this event when the card has been available in Malaysia since day 1 of availability in the US?
