AMD Radeon RX 480 benchmarks, bare PCB photos leak ahead of next week's launch

[Badelhas]

Here the 1070, if you can get one, all backordered at my local shop, sell for $570-$630 CAD. Although 550 euro on 25 Jun converts to $795 CAD, Ouch!!

Let's hope that the amd 480 truly costs 200 euros.

I think you mean "better product at a lower price". Nvidia set the bar pretty low when they released their founders edition cards with 'premium components" for $100 more when in reality it was just a reference card with regular components. If that's Nvidia's idea of "top shelf" I'm really glad they are board partners.

I agree, but you also could have said Pro Duo or Fury X. Both make the 1080 and 980 look bad if you care about sheer performance (FPP). "the 1080 doubling the 980's performance made most of AMD's offerings look ridiculous"

The 980 and 980Ti prices have already plummeted now that the 1080 is out. I see them dropping even more with the 1070 shredding everything around it for the price.
Nvidia's new GPU's are the best generation to generation boost from either side in 5+ years, the 1080 doubling the 980's performance made most of AMD's offerings look ridiculous.
AMD needs to do what they do best, offer an inferior product at a lesser cost.

$749.88 for the R9 Fury X, vs $1000 for the 1080.

$619 for the 1070

I think it goes without saying that, unless you're going 4K HD, or don't mind the way Nvidia does their textures (Bad in some games, unless they fixed it recently), you can pay $130 less for the 1070 and get less performance overall.
However, if you're doing 1080p gaming, AMD has the most powerful offerings, and skim a few FPS for 4k.

Pick your poison, but the statement "ridiculous" may apply elsewhere to some.

The Fury X is comparable with the 1080 in most of DirectX 12 games...

Why do I continue to see this misinformation being perpetuated?! The 1080 did NOT double the performance of the 980. Some VR tests have shown that result. The performance across the board (no pun intended) fails to "double" performance of the GTX 970 (both at stock), albeit by a mere 1-2 FPS here and there. Still, practically and almost are not accurate descriptions of a definite quality or quantity.

The GTX1080 demo was with overclocked cards, AMD will push NVIDIA, AMD just talking about R9 380 replacement, not R9 390/X or Fury replacement, AMD will show higher perfomace, specially in DX12 games!

If these go off too cheap ,they will be grabbed by the coin miners antway., creating an artificial shortage.hope there lots available .

Maybe you need some help with basic math.
Have you looked at the review yet?
The 1080 just about doubles the 980's performance across the board.
If its not double the performance its real damn close.

LOL no. The 7970 doubled 6970 performance once driver matured. Hell that card matches a 780 now.

GTX 1000 series is just shrunk maxwell. it's IPC is even slightly worse!

When the 7970 first released it was slower then a 670 at 1080p and matched a 670 at 1600p. It was months before they got the drivers right. And when they finally did, it still sputtered all over in CrossfireX and had frame latency issues for years.
The performance was so bad they re-released it with an OC and called it the GHz edition.

The ENTIRE IT industry is just shrinking die size while maintaining performance, that statement is completely useless and bolsters no argument.
