I am no expert in PC building, but I do keep up with its trends, in the hope that I will someday build my own. That day is not far from now, and so I need to know if RX 480 is a good choice.

Hence, to those who have gotten their hands on it / tested it / been following news on it, can you tell me if its really as good as it is hyped up to be?

P.S. Do bump this topic on the way out : SG Karaoke. Tewam would be very pleased.

Obligatory gib for the generous : Lvl 4+

Nvidia killer
Meh
Trash

I'm sure it's fine. For me money isn't a factor so I'll go for Nvidia.

It'll always be Intel+NVIDIA for me. I'm a fanboy in this matter.
But I'd never go as far and call AMD products "trash".
That's just dumb. Just like Apple vs. Samsung, etc.

Wait for the legit benches... the hype has been kinda absurd. It'll be fine, probably rather good for the price but nothing revolutionary. 8gb version should serve you well at 1080p for a the next couple of years but in the end it's a mid-range card, if you go in expecting to eBay it at that point it should be a great purchase.

Also depends where you live too tbh. Nvidia cards are so absurdly priced here it's barely an option.

I kinda miss a plain "welcome back AMD" option, considering they weren't really competitive for a long time.
Polaris looks really good so far, and Zen even better, but the current hype is a little bit over the top.

Too bad they used 09:00 EDT for the NDA ;)

People in Oceania are probably getting their RX 480s before that, so there might be user benchmarks starting to pop up before they lift the NDA and the reviews/tests are released.

It says that i performs slightly worse than the GTX 970 but I couldn't find comparisons of this GPU in other sites--not sure if the site is credible.
Anyway, my last two cards including my current card is from nVidia and I haven't had much problems with the performance other than some VR games :)

Saw another website that had Polish comments on it stating these test have inaccuracies and faults in them.
But I don't know since I am just a layperson in this...
Really just want to bump.. :P

"Slightly" worse performance for what should be 100-120$ less?
I'm sold.
