What do you guys think about this guy? Two of them costs $500 where one 1080 costs $700

Yep.also they released it at the right time to put up a competition against nvidia.Yeah they have not compared yet but for performance that good it is really a bargain, looks like the true prices of gpu's are finally shining thru![]()
BIG CompetitionYep.also they released it at the right time to put up a competition against nvidia.
I'm waiting for this dayBut hey I'd love to see them beat Nvidia finally.
I'm waiting for this day
I loved nvidia cards and do have one but their support driver wise is sh*t. Most of their drivers downgrades performance when ever a new card is being released. For example when the maxwell was released they dumped kepler and now that pascal is released they're gonna dump maxwell pretty soon.
Also to add NVidia did a great job with their marketing BS by restricting DSR for only GTX gpus. DSR(Dynamic Super Resolution) allows you to play games at 4k even if you have a 1080p screen. For eg, take dishonoured, its a low end demanding game and any GT gpu can run it easily, if they had given DSR for the GT gpu's it easily could have ran in 4k...but they marketed it only for the GTX gpus and not to talk about shadow play..only GTX 680 and higher can use that feature..i heard AMD giving some higher resolution like DSR for all their gpus..also that big lie which NVidia said about the DX12 release for Fermi...and until now that promise hasn't been fulfilled.AMD used to have bad drivers for their cards and people were praising Nvidia for having superior drivers. I dont know when the tables flipped around xD I must say the new Crimson drivers for AMD are pretty good. My card had issues with power delivery, and i thought i had to say goodbye to it cause it was impossible to play anything since the card would just shut itself down. For example i could run 3D Mark benchmarks for hours and days it wouldnt crash, but if i start a game for example League of Legends it would just crash after 2-5mins of gameplay. Sometimes i could play for hours and sometimes i couln't even load the the game without having to restart my PC. It was really frustrating, and i really thought it was the hardware fault. But since i updated to the latest Crimson drivers i haven't had that issue. It did happen when i overclock the card, but thats cause my Power supply is really weak and cant handle the overclock. So i must say kudos to AMD for listening to their customers.

yepI can enable DSR i didn't even think its something special, since it came with new Crimson update for AMD.
yeah. agreed.there is one big thing that people miss here
the fact that amd can still roll out the high power 490x at any moment and be really competitve with a GTX 1080Ti or a 1080 really easily while keeping it's place for the low/mid cost gpu as the rx 480 is seemingly going to be a huge bang for the buck
and on some experiences from both sides by myself i'd say that nvidia is trying to dominate the enthusiasts portion of the market while amd is mainly going for the lower segment where the majority of the people are as if the 480 is able to game at 1440p or 1080 it'll be really sufficient for most people (me included) spending the 200$ for that over a 700$ gpu that is supposed to be really powerful that it manhandles 4k which i have no interest in at all
nvidia's gtx1080 gives higher performance for a cheaper price so it isnt much of a surprise that amd is going even lower with their gpu.Which i kinda find hard to believe personally.
