Forums - PC Discussion - Leaked benchmarks for AMD Radeon RX 480 hits minimum VR spec for $199

JEMC on 25 July 2016

Take this with all the salt available:

AMD Radeon RX 470 to launch on August 4th, RX 460 on July 28th

http://videocardz.com/62642/amd-radeon-rx-470-to-launch-on-august-4th-rx-460-on-july-28th

This picture allegedly shows the launch dates of RX 460 and RX 470 graphics cards. The presence of X-Serial suggests we are looking at Dataland models.

AMD Radeon RX 470 would therefore launch on August 4th, while RX 460 is expected in less than 3 days (July 28th). I only managed to confirm that 4th August is indeed the launch date for RX 470, but I can’t confirm RX 460 date just yet.

This list would also suggest that both RX 460 and RX 470 would launch with different memory configurations — reference cards are equipped with 2GB (RX 460) and 4GB (RX 470).

 

At least it won't take long to find out if it's true or not.

Radeon Pro SSG.


Polaris GPU + SSD's in the one card.

Extremely interesting.

Laugh at people with 4gb or 8gb cards.... mine has 1 terabyte of memory :p

But who is that usefull for? people that edit movies? 3D rendering stuff thats huge?

^So it's an RX 480 and a PCI express based SSD in one card? That's kind of cool, especially useful for Mini-ITX builds which are space limited.

Your not getting it.

Its not for saveing space.... its instead of haveing 4gb or 8gb card,.... you have 1,000 gb (1tb) memory in the form of a SSD.

Seems like something that would need Xpoint memory to be useful. SSDs are still to slow for that use.

That's not entirely true. Yes, it has 1TB of memory from those M.2 SSDs, but because they come from a PCIe bus the max memory bandwidth of that card is between 4-5 GB/s, while your typical GPU with GDDR5 like a RX 480 has 256 GB/s.

Yes, you have more memory, but it's incredibly slower compared to the 4/8GB of your GPU, making that card and memory configuration useless for gaming.

 

That said, maybe this is an early prototype of what will come with Navi. Remember the slide?

"Nexgen memory"

A combination of SSD+HBM2.0?

It's meant to be as a cache for monolithic data sets (Oil industry etc'), not a RAM replacement.
There are still forms of data that will exceed 32Gb cards which this will be beneficial for...
And because the SSD's are on the card you should have a reduction in latency too.

I.E. It's not for gaming.

It will be interesting to see if a part of this technology/concept will trickle down into consumer products eventually one day though.

That RX 460 graph doesn't tell us much since it doesn't say what settings those games are running at. The RX 470 performance graph is pretty telling though since it says Ultra Settings. For comparison:

Game (Ultra Settings) RX 470 RX 480
Battlefield 4 64 FPS 74 FPS
DOOM 107 FPS 100 FPS
Fallout 4 77 FPS 86 FPS
Hitman 66 FPS 79 FPS
Total War: Warhammer 66 FPS 74 FPS
I did my best to find middle of the road benchmarks for the RX 480, but some sites had even higher framerates than those I posted. The real oddball here is DOOM, I can't find a single review that has RX 480 at 107 fps, so I don't see how RX 470 could have surpassed the RX 480 unless some new drivers have released that greatly improved DOOM performance since RX 480 released, meaning that RX 480 performance is higher. Overall, though, it seems like RX 470 is about 10-17% slower than the RX 480 depending on the game, which is understandable since it costs $50 less supposedly.

That's probably DOOM running with VULKAN, the Rx480 initial benchmarks on DOOM were using OpenGL 4.3, with the VULKAN patch all mid-high level AMD cards, even old series surpassed most of the current GTX1000 Nvidia's series on that game, thanks to AsyncCompute.
