Link, please, you dang tease!Slower than a GTX 970 at all resolutions.
Gibbo over at OCUK just stated (this morning) 480 is categorically slower than GTX 980 except perhaps in DX12, and it's close to 970.

Wow, what a mixed bag... i am seriously wondering what determines numbers like for example the Fallout 4 ones, i mean, it usually is slightly behind or on par with the 390, but on FO4 it goes way past it by a great deal. The performance is perfectly nice for 200$ tbh, of course that if you already had a 390-970+ this is a sidegrade at best, but it was widely known since a bit ago.

With all the new effects and techniques gaming has become absurdly complicated >.< >.< >.<
It's actually always been this way. That is why one singular benchmark cannot be representative and never has been.
Even in a single game you can have performance variance due to the given scene being asked to be rendered.
Probably close to or exceeding $300How much of a price premium are we looking at with those extremely good coolers?
Dunno yet, and I don't know if AIBs know yet either. Going to take a lot of culling to pull good OCing CPUs for custom SKUs.How much of a price premium are we looking at with those extremely good coolers?

That would quickly kill its value if that was the case.
I know but this is a derivative Chip, in theory performance should have been a little more inline, but like you pointed out they did an improvement on their geometry engine so maybe that is what we are seeing. Ohh well, for the price *it is nice*, specially with warranties and the like.
Yea, right? What most of us level-headed kids have thought all along.
Anyhoo, here's the first real review.
Gets beat in most benches and games by a 390, toasted by an overclocked 970. Overclocking is crap: 1.5% top out on this sample with major heat issues.
More applicable to 380x Tonga and some aspects possibly from Fiji (this had slight performance increase in terms of geometry/Tessellation throughput, so probably more development of this for Polaris)I assume the discussion here is against Hawaii, but consider the following -
Is Polaris 10 an iterative step over Hawaii? Or is it Pitcairn?
If we compare against Pitcairn then I believe Polaris 10 has improvements across the board.
But if we compare against Hawaii then even looking just at the higher level specs (such as ROP count, memory bandwidth, etc.) we obviously see trade offs. And these differences are where workload differences are going to expose performance differences.
AMD did say they are targeting the $100 to $300 market. 8GB 480 is $229, and 490 is nowhere to be found...
Can you ask them if they are binning the chips themselves ?
If these chips were not lottery then AMD was sleeping when they decided on the RX 480 at 1266mhz as default megahertz ...
It's not like they can push the clocks much more on that cooler. 1.5% overclock leading to a 8oC jump, are you kidding me.

It says in the video that 8GB is $239, not $229. I'm expecting "extremely good custom coolers" to push $300.
Nvidia will do that and for less then $200 because they love to sell you premium products at very low price.Hoping that 1060 GTX will supersede 980s performance combined with decent acoustics. Need to upgrade my GPU for the HTPC setup.

Custom AIB boards those have better cooling ...
