>/g/ says

2016-08-09 18:07:24 UTC  

its more future proof anyways towards DX12

2016-08-09 18:07:41 UTC  

the rx480 has already gotten some nice boosts from drivers, and yeah, it wins in DX12 and vulkan

2016-08-09 18:08:25 UTC  

personally i'll be buying neither because no matter how many CADs I have I can't afford those cards

2016-08-09 18:08:26 UTC  

it's losing against the 1060 in DX11 games but only by a few frames

2016-08-09 18:08:33 UTC  

>$600 for a 480

2016-08-09 18:08:43 UTC  

relevant on /g/ now?

2016-08-09 18:08:48 UTC  

at this point I'd rather get the 480 as you'll see a significant improvement in performance overtime

2016-08-09 18:09:24 UTC  

If you get something like a sapphire nitro once they come out, overclocking should be pretty easy too

2016-08-09 18:09:45 UTC  

sapphire usually has some of the better AMD chips and coolers

2016-08-09 18:10:43 UTC  

I read that sapphire's edition of the 480 isnt so great

2016-08-09 18:10:47 UTC  

this time

2016-08-09 18:10:55 UTC  

and powercolour was supposed to be the one to go for

2016-08-09 18:10:58 UTC  

for the 480

2016-08-09 18:11:10 UTC  

is that the SATAN one or whatever? lol

2016-08-09 18:11:35 UTC  

the one everyone said had a pentagram on it but i think looked more like the star of david or some shit

2016-08-09 18:11:47 UTC  

yeah

2016-08-09 18:11:49 UTC  

the devil one

2016-08-09 18:12:07 UTC  

yeah i heard that one was supposed to be good

2016-08-09 18:12:25 UTC  

im on an r9 390 myself though, so I don't see myself needing to upgrade for a few generations

2016-08-09 18:13:14 UTC  

>when OP throws autistic AMD bankrupt celebration to hail monopoly

2016-08-09 18:13:15 UTC  

kek

2016-08-09 18:13:43 UTC  

I laughed

2016-08-09 18:13:53 UTC  

What the newfags dont get

2016-08-09 18:13:57 UTC  

was back in the days AMD made the good CPUs

2016-08-09 18:14:02 UTC  

they got fucked over at some point internally

2016-08-09 18:14:07 UTC  

and fell behind

2016-08-09 18:14:45 UTC  

intel bribed oem's to not use AMD products

2016-08-09 18:14:51 UTC  

yeah that and having one GPU giant will be bad for all of us

2016-08-09 18:15:27 UTC  

ie now where intel barely advances their performance in their CPUs

2016-08-09 18:15:34 UTC  

and the small like $1b settlement intel had to pay AMD after 3 or 4 years of underhanded marketing was too small a drop in the bucket after being fucked

2016-08-09 18:15:38 UTC  

while keeping prices artificially high even for capable last gen CPUs

2016-08-09 18:15:48 UTC  

and Nvidia screwing everyone as much as they can with their GPUs

2016-08-09 18:16:47 UTC  

Now I am sadface.

2016-08-09 18:17:45 UTC  

anyways the prices of the 470 and 480 are high here

2016-08-09 18:17:48 UTC  

i just dont know which to get

2016-08-09 18:18:08 UTC  

Wait a while

2016-08-09 18:18:13 UTC  

the stores are taking a nice cut of the cake

2016-08-09 18:18:17 UTC  

while stocks are low

2016-08-09 18:18:24 UTC  

it will stabilize tm
