Who bought/is buying a Radeon RX 470 or RX 460?

But, it is kinda pathetic to have only one consumer GPU on Polaris 11, the 460, and have it a cut down part. RX 460 has 896 SP, so it's 14 CU. 2 CUs cut from the supposedly full Polaris 11 which has 16.

Help with making sense of VERY high ASIC quality - RX480

That was what we thought, but the Stilt says it's the opposite for AMD GPUs. Higher ASIC = worse overclocking on air, but better on water/LN. Either way, I wouldn't OC beyond 1350mhz anyway on the reference blower. Anything above 1300mhz and it starts to get loud. My samples are decent, I...

Nvidia Maxwell-based 900 series cards now going into legacy support

There's a difference from "Up to 2.8x with AMD technologies" and a footnote which goes to the RX 470 vs 270X (misleading marketing)... Than outright lies. PR does this all the time. But we don't expect them to actually be so blatant and lie about specs or feature support. Moving on, I do...

Wow what, Wow I am 100% correct? The perf/w slide had *, look at it, oh wow.. it's the RX 470. Does truth surprise you that much?

Eh, 460 needs to be as cheap as possible because it's such low performance. :/ I mean it's really only playable in E-sport games. Modern gaming 1080p will wreck it and especially the 2GB vram.

Nvidia Maxwell-based 900 series cards now going into legacy support

If AMD actually released media statements that Polaris supports DX13 or whatever the next API is, and they did not. I would hold them accountable and to me, that would be a lie. Fermi is DX11 capable. When DX12 was announced, NV said all their DX11 GPUs will be compatible with DX12. When Vulkan...

Well if the 470 is $149.. and the 460 is $99, the performance gap between them is huge, as well as the 2 vs 4GB vram. Unless somebody desperate needs no PCIE plug GPU, the 460 is rather pointless. Saying that, the 750Ti was very popular, despite being pretty weak.. at the very low end, I...

Nvidia Maxwell-based 900 series cards now going into legacy support

@OatisCampbell Did you know, awhile after Maxwell's launch, NV actually released a presentation which said, their own users, 70% are still on old architectures, Kepler & Fermi or older. Not everyone buys the latest tech. But that isn't even the point. The point is they said Fermi will support...

Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

Then you obviously have a selective bias at what you pick up. A few people tried to say the same thing since [H] recommended the 480 but not the 1060, no awards for it. I said it didn't change anything since they only use 4-5 games. They happen to pick a few that favors the 480, that is all...

It's fine for Pascal.

Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

It's the preemption ability (which Maxwell claimed to have, but did not), Pascal can actually do fast context switching so games that were GCN console optimized, with more compute effects, do not suffer slow context switching like Kepler/Maxwell did. This means no performance penalty for games...

Nvidia Maxwell-based 900 series cards now going into legacy support

The reason is because NV were saying Fermi, Kepler & Maxwell are "Game Ready" for DX12. http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/geforce-gtx-is-game-ready-for-windows-10-and-directx-12 So lots of gamers thought that was true... so they are trying to run DX12 games on their Fermi GPUs and...

GURU 3D latency tests between GTX1060 and RX480

Hitman's benchmark changes scene often, thus the spike. It is not in-game stutter. I play the game myself, it's all smooth.

Next-gen API benches for RX 480 & 1060.

It depends on whether it's faster than DX11. If both vendors are still slower in DX12, then you can't seriously claim that's a good implementation.

Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

If that's what you took from that, then it's your prerogative. I meant it as a confirmed shill & troll doing benches is unreliable, un-respected. For Sweepr to suggest ABT is better than Golem.de, a respected German site, means he has no comprehension of validity of the results. As such, he may...
