Dolphin has a DX12 (beta) renderer. Anyway, the upcoming 460 will probably be your best bet. The 1050 might also work, I have no idea if it'll be released soon though.

lol what? People are getting huge performance gains (nvidia also, but less than AMD), and you don't get what it's bringing to the table? compare this: or this: to this: The 1080 went from 57 FPS to >92.4 FPS. The Fury X went from 54 FPS to 92 FPS. The 390 went from 44 FPS to 74 FPS. The...

Total War WARHAMMER DX12: PC graphics performance benchmark review

To be clearer, at 1080p the 480 beats the 970 at both perf/watt and perf (as shown by my images, they are all about 1080p). [h] only compares the 480 and 970 at 1440p, and I was talking about 1080p, which IMO is more important for a ~200$ card. However, even at 1440p (according to [h]), the 970...

You need to decide. Is it an illusion or not? You're claiming that it's an illusion but then giving a reason for it. If the last part is true, then AMD cards really do have longevity, you just claim that the starting drivers aren't that good. It doesn't change the fact that they have longevity...

Talking about the ugly: AMD Radeon RX 480 im Test (Seite 12) Looks like they undervolted the card using wattman. The undervolt reduced watt usage by 33, reduced noise by 3.5db and they also gained 5% in performance. If every card can do such an undervolt (i.e. stay stable) AMD really dropped...

Are you joking? Significantly better? The 480 is beating the 970 in both perf/watt and perf. In addition, according to HC the 480 beats the 970 by a wide margin (27%) on DX12 games (@1080p) source: The Radeon RX480 8GB Performance Review - Page 24 This is only going to be more...

If we really see these 1500 oc versions, they might end up with worse perf/watt than the nano

Go over the thread and see what I mainly talked about. The main thing that I criticized was the claim that Polaris 10 was supposed to be a GP104 competitor. I don't think that Polaris 10 was ever supposed to be a high-end card (read: Radeon 490). The 480 does not have high-end characteristics...

Hats off to Kyle, it looks like you were right about the heat and power usage. I still don't think that this card was intended for stock 980ti performance, as it has 32 rops and it shows in 1440p+, but there is no doubt that perf/watt is much worse than what everyone expected. Not sure if its...

A 390x is also a side grade from the 390, especially @ 1080p

3GB isn't enough for 1080p. I hope that they only release a 6+ version (or 4+). If it is a 1280 shaders part, it looks like it'll basically match a 290 IMO. Looking at the previous 960 card, the 980 is ~88% faster than the 960 at 1080p according to TPU (1080 benchmarks). To match the 480...

I believe that if the 1060 was actually close and performant, nvidia would've already crashed the AMD party - but they still have today and maybe tomorrow. They also don't want to hurt their 1070 sales, so if the 1060 is surprisingly good and ~Fury performance they're in a difficult position...

He explicitly stated the Founders Edition. The 15% is decent, but definitely not "crazy". Some users here think that anything under 15% is junk and that basically any card should overclock at least 15%. I agree that 2000mhz is impressive, but that is not the discussion here. Who cares? "Crazy"...

It can be basic and also great. It depends on how it performs not on what you think you deserve. If in two days we find out that it's loud and throttles - by all means you can complain about how the cooler is crap. Maybe it'll just end up good but not great, that liar Raja!
