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.

lucky you. I used over 3 years already. no warranty. Bought it when it came out at 1.4k rm

me to just wait a benchmark to confirm

I'm setting the expectations low, definitely great if can go with the above.

Should be R9 380 price.

i can only hope it is 380 price.. whats to stop them raise till 380x price and if they can still sell like hot cakes initially, why price it lower. so in the end it's up to demand right.

I sure hope the performance are on par with GTX 980 or higher than GTX 970. Im looking for options to replace my old ASUS 7950 TOP.

Plus im still gaming at 1080p LOL

Dude, are you serious? no wonder my previous GTX 260 was doing badly when newwer cards came out.

But Im guessing the issues lies on more driver optimization of latest GPU cores and features that might not be available on older cards.

Like the latest API and Async features in latest trends.

Rx480 or 1070 should be able play 2k monitor hassle free. Im still with 1080 monitor. But these card for my skylake with 2k monitor.

same about r9?

How much does the 2k monitor costs these days, thinking of upgrading sometime later.

You use Skylake K series?

This post has been edited by NUR_VER.3: Jun 11 2016, 02:12 AM

So its just a refreshed R9?

That couldnt be right bro..

I sure hope so too, or else my budget of rm1.2k-1.6k gpu gonna be smashed

Lets see the official ones soon.

LOLOLOLOL in ur face
btw sub 1k would be 4gb version

Well R9 390 and R9 390X are pretty close to begin with so I'm fine as long as RX 480 comes to R9 390 performance level.

Like what I said in other place (or was it here) - I'm hoping for R9 380X price (or less) with R9 390 performance (or more) and with R9 380 power draw (less would be better)

If AMD hit those points it'll definitely a seller ............. and kill off their own R9 series cards!

No need rage. In fact you should be happy that the price that people once paid for R9 380X can now acquire R9 390 performance and as a bonus, lower power draw.

This means cooler card and runs more silent.

I can't wait for AMD to send over some samples.

Well. If rx 480 is just around 1200 definitely go try this card. Rather with expensive 1070.

And ready for crossfire it. As amd claim two of this card outperform 1080.

This post has been edited by hyperspeed: Jun 11 2016, 02:35 AM

1. AMD claims.
2. It's only based on 1 title.

So don't put your hopes too high on that one.

If the price to performance is excellent then I'm definitely getting at least 2 units of it.

And I end up keeping my R9 390 only for PSU testing purpose.

Pointless to speculate.......... .though it's fun!

Wow, so much talk about the RX 480.

Guys, don't worry. It'll come eventually.

https://www.massdrop.com/vote/Graphics-Cards15

try vote and get from here, if don't want cut throat by the local retail. The shipping fee is pretty cheap. Cheap and better value card should be okay without warranty. Lolz

In my opinion, if getting the SSD, Processor, RAM, Desktop Chassis and Network PCIE cards, it is ok to buy without warranty after testing ok.

As for the motherboard and graphic card, always buy the units with warranty.

There's 4gb and 8gb version of the RX480, wonder if just 4gb is enough as I only use resolution at 1920 x 1080.

$199, wow.
i will just buy from Amazon if our retailers want to stick with GTX970 pricing bracket.
If this is the same GPU inside PS Neo, the games might look better on it.

Wow dont know if legit. Its on redit
Rx480 firestrike score

Attached thumbnail(s)

why a leak must be at china?

Because it was made there....?
Lol

I don't know what to make out of 3Dmark score.

I don't use 3Dmark simply because it's always affected by processor.

Prefer to go with benchmarks, either games or synthetic and with fps detail. (part of 3dmark report has this)

Its a fake. The guy didnt properly photoshop his fake screen. Anyway it was good fun.
29th not long for full disclosure.
480 will be a good mid entry card though.

edit
i dont know he may be legit afterall

Please, let it cost less than RM1K for 8GB version, then will trade my R9 380 4GB for this, probably just about RM300-400 top up

it wasnt going to be good if shopped jacking up the price.

remember, theres no bad card. just badly priced card.

dun think it's possible for 8GB, 4GB maybe only, 1.2k for 4GB will you buy? lol.

im thinking of going rx480 x 2 crossfire or mix match between a 490, according to this website it beats 1080 on benchmark, what do you guys think?

http://asidcast.com/rx-480-crossfire-beats...ld-performance/

Just wait for the GTX 1070 NON-founders edition. Should be way cheaper ~

I doubt some games will support Crossfire perfectly.. somehow but the price wise for AMD is pretty good

This post has been edited by availyboy: Jun 14 2016, 12:53 PM

ya, will waiting for non FE, but now got seller sells with high price ...
in china taobao, non FE should cheaper around 600 rmb.

so around rm1900?

GTX 1070 is better for future, NVIDIA offers frequently drivers update. They fix your bad gaming experience immediately through drivers update. When gamers complaint about a game running lag, NVIDIA is always response immediately to fix the lagging issue in the next drivers update.

For me with more than $200 price markup for 1070 in Malaysia and that's only for FE, I'm thinking of going for RX480 because that is more affordable to me.

if you buy from china, malaysia seller sells 2399 for non FE.

All hopes on the AiB partners cards if one is not really into the reference design

RX480 prices are out, RM1249 for 8Gb version

Should I sell my R9 290x 8GB Vapor-X and get a RX 480 8GB?

lelong my PowerColor R9 380 4GB.... come offer me.

FASTER THAN R9 NANO



I'm getting this RX480 two pieces.

How much do you think it would cost to get a Crossfire-ready motherboard and PSU powerful enough for 2 RX 480s?

if want to fight with GTX1080 with two RX480 8GB in crossfire. The announced price is USD299. However, no sure if come to Malaysia will sell how much. Probably RM1,500. So, two RX480 assume is RM3,000.

rm500+ mobo can do crossfire, and for psu, a 650 or 700 is enough

still cheaper than 1080. But if its over 1500Rm maybe will choose 1070 instead

rx480 8GB will cost RM1249. already have retailers offer pre-order.

So far don't have game benchmark for 480 but the price point is very good as it can goes up to 70-80% of 1070 but only 50% of the price.

Was thinking to hand down my 970 to my sister and get 480. But on the other hand I am Nvidia fan

tempted to sell my 970 for 480
hmmmm

why would you do that, gtx970 still a great card, no need to change bruh

Can you pm me which retailer is selling? TQ

Because in Hitman 2016 DX12, R9 290 trumps GTX980. GTX 970 don't say lah.

lol
poisoned until become irrational
should give myself a slap

Get another GTX970 and join the SLI bandwagon. No need to slap yourself.


This post has been edited by adilz: Jun 16 2016, 04:11 PM

lol, that's one way. 970 can get cheaper now.

Guys, apparently even the RX 470 will be able to compete with the GTX 970. Official AMD benchmarks put a stock RX 470 5% behind a GTX 970.

Walao, like this used market prices for cards will be bad lah?

Also, the $230 RX 480 GB reference is being sold for RM1250. What do you think will be price of $150 RX 470 based on that? RM799?

Haha, as long as it still support, dont change, it still can give you a good performance, but still, up to you, if you want to upgrade whatsoever, in the end, its your money, haha

well that's good news for cheapskate pupil can buy 2nd hand card cheaper lol

around 800-1000 I guest

I have a brand new (just over 1 month old) 4GB GTX 960 SC from EVGA. Warranty from EVGA Asia still got 2 years 10 months.

Honestly speaking, how much you think my card can sell for once the RX470/480 come out? RM500 can or not?

can bruh, a new 750Ti also cost 500 now, shud be around 600-700

if your monitor is 1080p choose 480, 2k display go for 1070.. simple.

dunno man, if you find market now. maybe it sells 100 to 150 below market. if u want to sell it, sell it NOW before benchmark 480 official came out.

480 comes with 8gb vram. as you know this, that amount of vram can play 2k and 4k already. if want to play 1080p go for the 4gb version

I wanna go 144hz 1080p which card should i get

GTX1070 FTW

Maybe time to upgrade from R9 270x to Rx480 ! Btw anyone know current price market for r9 270x (sapphire tri x version) . Planning to sell after rx480 comes out. Hehe

Should be around RM300 or below by then.

u can't see different from 120hz and 144hz FYI. and to answer ur question yup 1070 is quite okay.

You can't see, but you can feel. 144Hz got 20% better input responsiveness.

u experience ur self?

Thankfully no. One time you experience, spoil sial playing game at 60fps. Before I knew about 60fps, 30fps was good enough for me. Don't wanna make same mistake again! From now on, 60fps1080p is becomes the "low" standard, like many years ago 720p30fps becomes the "low" standard. Means, buy a RX 480 or 470, can last long time.

any idea about RX 480 length?

the pcb is same like nano, but the heat sink and fan extended few cm.

http://imgur.com/a/N0sx7

the pic below got measurement.

Looks like you guys have all the information you need. Just wait for the actual benchmarks.

Yes. Either two Rx480 or single 1070. Lol
