Place Your Bets Now About The Power Efficiency Of The Radeon RX 480 On Linux

... As i see right now, there is no point in buying anything slower than 1070, ...

How this?

Talking about weight i guess, overweight people is actualy common in US... it is among highest in the world, so Michael taken by US average looks actually normal in that picture. So if someone is from very greenish country and talk to someone from very redish, do not say that something is wrong, the best is i guess to learn to ignore it

Opposite is true too, so when someone comes from redish country to greenish, do not ask why everybody buy small cars

WTF Czech Rep. WTF.
From now on 1 death/game load = 20 push ups.

Last month I was deciding - wait for R9 480 or go with GTX 970. Impatience and AMD openGL performance made me choose.

And how is performance of this rx480 ? Is it any better than geforce 1070 ? As i see right now, there is no point in buying anything slower than 1070, and 1080 if you want to go all out, but 1070 seems to be good for 1440p gaming. While nvidia drivers are crap lately, amd's are even worse, so to make rx480 viable, they must make it at least same speed as 1070 with a much lower price for it to be worth.

Well i actualy does not believe in things like generalisations by xyz nation

me neither.

we were talking of something being "rude" for all "americans".

Well i actualy does not believe in things like generalisations by xyz nation , especially after fifty-fifty results on Brexit Xyz people can be like this - like that, some are more peevish on xyz subject then others and that is about it

starshipelevenWhat we can do there, some birds have ability to became peevish on about any subject and some only on selected ones

The article has the Radeon parts using the OSS drivers... so its really hard to make any conclusions just yet, as the Nvidia parts are using their proprietary drivers... Once Michael posts the test results of the Radeon parts using the hybrid driver and/or posts the Nvidia cards running Noveau, we will have an apples to apples comparision.

Can you guys can stop asking to compare AMDGPU vs Nouveau.

Michael is comparing official driver vs official driver and he is right.

Your choice not to buy NVidia for that is respectable. But you, AMD fanboys, try SO HARD to see AMD win vs NVidia and this is childish at best.

Michael Do you have only a RX 480 (Polaris 10) to test or do you have also a RX 460 (Polaris 11)?

I bet it's more power efficient than the 1080. Peak power draw for 1080 is 180W, peak power draw for the 480 is 150w. According to rumors I've heard though it's actual full load power draw tends to be hovering around as low as 100W, if that's true, that's some serious power per watt.
