Yes? No? Good? Bad?

It is good. :) I love how they keep the 980 Ti out of that graph well considering that it would blow the doors off the 1070. (No, no one buys a stock clocked 980 Ti anymore so at best, it was disingenuous to show stock clocks and at worst, an out right fabrication.) I like the score of the single RX 480, which is slighty faster than a 290x at Ultra.
 
It doesn't really matter. We won't really knows how well it performs until we can get some unbiased website benchmarks.

Yeah, pretty much this.

I will say this though - if this card can out-perform the 1080 in Crossfire, AND can overclock at least half as well as WCCF is reporting with the new voltage software, then I'd think AMD would be absolutely crazy not to give Polaris the Radeon Pro Duo treatment and create a dual GPU beast on a single card with liquid cooling and 8 GB HBM per chip. Price that monster somewhere between $400 and $500 and you will have some enthusiasts running for it.

Seeing that it's below the 390x, people should be.

It beats the 390x on Ultra (the most demanding test). Almost half the price, half the power, more newer features - That is not bad. I think we need to wait for actual tests from a number of reviewers.
 
If crossfire works flawlessly on majority of the games, I'll consider it. The best thing AMD can do right now is spend full force on crossfire.
 
Im still excited about the card. I never asked for it to beat a 390X. A 390 that can run at 150w for 200? Whats not to be excited about?

I know everyone of my dev team would probably buy 2 of them if they did a Radeon Pro Duo treatment.
 
3DMark 11 shows that the RX 480 destroys Hawaii in tessellation and what your not seeing in Firestrike scores if any of you picked that up as i did as because it was almost 10+ fps faster in test 4 then my Tri X 290 X New edition (1020/1350) which is close to 390x performance .
 
Not worth dealing with mediocre Crossfire support. Just get one 1070 or 1080 and call it a day.
 
Well, AMD has been giving great optimizations with their driver updates. These scores would be nice.

It's not particularly exciting as compared to the competition's cards where you're seeing a $400 card besting the previous $1000 card. 390x launched at $429 and the RX 480 will perform mildly worse for $200. It's just not as exciting. The rumors had it at least beating the 390x.

Ok first comparing the $1000 card instead of the $650 that is technically the top card is encroaching on intentional bias/misleading. Titan cards should not be considered in these discusiions as they are in truth nothing more than Halo products and in the last year not really that as the 980Ti was the one that garnered nearly all the attention.
 
It's a mid-range card and not high end like the 1070GTX .. but i would say that the tone set by people defending Nvidia products means they fear the RX 490/490X if AMD's $200 card is that powerful.
 
I'm thinking that it isn't that powerful. I downloaded the FS demo and gave my 390 a run through to see where it compares to the 1080p numbers in the chart here. I can see why they don't include the 390 and 970 in charts. My 390 at stock settings had a graphics score of 12,604 at 1080p. Mild OC to 1100/1650 pushed that to 13,373. If those are the actual real numbers for a 480, it needs an OC to just meet a 390 at 1080p? This is not looking as good now.

I can see why they wanted benchmark sheets to stop posting now. It wasn't to keep anticipation for the actual launch, it seems to be hoping that people aren't checking into the metrics being used as benchmarks for the cards the 480 is supposedly being compared against. I have a hard time believing that a stock 390X is only 2.5% faster than a stock 390.

On the flip side, apparently a stock 1070 is only ~31% faster than my 390 at 1080p. :whistle:
