Hello, as you know by now. This two card will conquer mid range price but with high end performance.
But we need to choose, which is better later on?

This card will be on my next skylake rig I am working on. (a 1440 rig)

Edit: looks like the green team take the challange for targeting medium consumer level card. The GTX1060, a 980 performance and 40% better power cost than Rx480

2nd Edit: Well the reviews speaks for them self. 1070>1060>rx480 with pricing rm2000, 1400, and 1200 respectively. Me getting the MSI gaming x 1070 as it can clock to 2100mhz and cool enough with that speed.

Sos : Gtx1060

Edit 3: End of discussion i already get 1070 FE. Thanks guys! Thread closed.

how cheaper is rx480 cmpare to gtx1070?

most likely RX480 = RM 999 vs GTX1070 = RM 2399
take your pick!

isit true the price of gtx1070 is twice the price of rx480..?
performance wise better take 2 rx480 compare to just 1 gtx1070..

rx480 still dunno price in malaysia yet

Wait for reviews and do the comparison then.

Both cards are not widely available at this time.

The new GTX 1070 kinda overpriced tho.

Need to wait for rx480 benchmark before deciding.

Plus we dont know much about the upcoming rx490.

dint know there is rx490 later

Both have somewhat different price brackets, and therefore you can't compare them straight on.

The RX 480 is a VR-capable card at a very affordable price tag, whereas the GTX1070 is a cut-down version of the flagship 1080.

It's like comparing a F Type R to a 458 Speciale - very different price and performance brackets.

so this means ati later on will have another architecture or in the same family as rx 480?
why they not leak at least 1 info lah. like nvidia always show their powerfull card 1st then give a bit info on cut down version.

RX 480 should be about RM 1200 range, the R9 380X region.

I am the price/performance wise person. Use different red/green card over the years. When nvidia announce that 1070 will be cheaper and faster than titan x I was surprised.

But then amd announce their card only 200$ WTF. Now just need to see if rx480 benchmark is worth the price. Or else just go with rm2400 1070

It's most likely to be GTX 970 / R9 390 / R9 390X.

I'll be surprised if it beats the GTX 980.

see benchmark, then see price,
should wait until christmas when all major games out and all driver stable
i would choose Radeon card anyway, RM 2,000 for a gcard is not the way it meant to be.

performance wise, you can compare CF 480 vs SLI 1070,
but not 2 card this vs 1 card that, because some games have issues using multiple GPU.

considering benchmark of almost all gtx1070 so far shows it on par or about 5-7% faster than a gtx 980ti (both 1070 and 980ti overclock to the same level)
and initial pricing for some Founder's Edition I saw at Etech is RM2399, You can confidently say gtx1070 exact performance as Titan X for RM2K for non ref edition.
as for RX480, so far all benchmark shows it to be on par with a 390/390X level. and pricing wise, it predict it would be around Rm1.2-1.3k.
we all know 390X trades blows with a gtx980 depending on the game.
so rx480 would be around gtx980 level but picing at gtx970 level.

Going over RM 2k for a card is ridiculous. Now GTX 1080 is already coming to RM 4,000 range so you can imagine 1080 Ti and upcoming Titan X replacement.

Graphics card shouldn't cost more than a gaming rig.

I miss those days when high-end graphics card is just sub RM 2k.

yup. we need to wait a bit to see some benchmark data to confirm this

I actually runs on the famous high end card 9800gtx+ right now. after my HD7950 fried last month

ahhhh ok. Yeah hope so, and I'm hoping to see the RX 480 with 8GB RAM so it can handle titles better.

GTX 970 / GTX 980's performance potential is severely limited by the VRAM.

My R9 390 8GB for example shows 6GB VRAM usage when playing The Division on Full HD at Ultra settings. The downside of the R9 390 is the crazy power draw.

My expectation for the RX 480 is simple - R9 380X price with R9 390 performance and R9 380 power draw.

So far AMD cards are OK but they usually lose out on something here and there.

R9 Nano for example is an awesome card but the pricing is crazy.

R9 390 / R9 390X are great cards but the power draw is on the high side, a lot more than what Nvidia cards draw at same performance level.

And your HD 7950 was a reasonably high-end card. I bought mine for about RM 1.1k range last time.

My HD 7950 KOed too, shop allowed me to trade with other cards so I went with GTX 960.
