AMD Polaris 10 GPU To Offer Near 980 Ti Performance For 299 USD?

AMD Polaris 10 GPU To Offer Near 980 Ti Performance For 299 USD?

An interesting news item appeared on game debate yesterday, they claim that AMD held an event in Taiwan and has been showcasing it's upcoming Polaris GPUs. The interesting bit is that Polaris 10 would perform very close to the GeForce GTX 980 Ti but would be drastically cheaper at 299 USD.

Now then, first let me state this, AMD never shares prices this far away from launch, but still it is interesting info. The website also claims that Polaris 10 will get a 175 Watt TDP maximum. 

The Polaris 10 GPU is the successor to the 300-series, which AMD views as its mainstream range. This means Polaris 10 is not the next Fury and Fury X, but rather a 300 series successor, which is up to and including the R9 390X. That equates to the eventual Polaris 10 powered Radeon R9 490X being capable of GTX 980 Ti performance for a price tag in the region of $300-400. Click to expand Polaris Price Performance Comparison The Polaris 10 GPU itself has a maximum TDP of 175W, but AMD claims it will generally consume far less than that. Early benchmarks have the Polaris 10 scoring in the region of 4000 points in 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra, which puts it firmly in the ballpark of the Fury X and the 980 Ti. If AMD can hit the rumoured $300 price point with such a graphics card then it could have an absolute monster on its hands.

Also very interesting, the card would score roughly 4000 points in 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra, and that score is actually spot on with the Radeon R9 Fury X. Oh and guys, this post is based upon information of hearsay .. take it with some grain of salt is all I'm trying to say here.

If true nvidia new cards will need to be reduced by price, also Polaris will help gain good amount of market.

Now this is very interesting.

If this is true I can see AMD selling these GPU's like hot cakes and with their added support for drivers now too. Things are looking up for them.

Add in the fact that we should see the back of 4GB VRAM and we should see GPU's with no less than 6GB VRAM from now on unless its entry level.

This is how I see it going

R9 470/X = 4GB RAM

R9 480/X = 6GB RAM

R9 490/X = 8GB RAM

R9 FURY2 = 12GB RAM (HBM1 or 2 or GDDR5X).

Nothing can make me more happy than 300$ card with that kind of performance but.. i hope it not only words we see here :3eyes:


That's never ending process. By the time they release it new games will make them midbudget not capable of providing modern image quality with decent fps.

**** i was hoping for at least a 10~15% performance increase. My 980TI needs replacing... Its not enough at 3440x1440 21:9 :bang:

Truly hoping that the GP104-400 is a beefed up version of the GP104-200 '1080' :pc1:
