AMD possibly will be using XX5 revisions e.g. AMD Radeon RX 495
AMD could be moving towards xx5 donominators say 480 and then later on a 485 for their graphics card series, indicating faster models compared to 0 suffix based models. The company also reaffirms the arrival of the Radeon RX 490 model.
These xx5 revisions may actually be released after the initial batches and this are released after the current line of available products, thus these would be updated GPUs with say optimizations on 14nm FinFET chips for higher clock speeds and lower consumption. While AMD hasn't confirmed this is the case it certainly is indicative. So inevitable you might see say a Radeon RX 485 with the 4 for Generation, the 8 is the tier and the 5 being the revision. Striking is the mention of the '9', which AMD again the arrival of the RX 490 card confirms indirectly.
Tier versus performance things wil look like this, and if you look closely at the slide you can see the xx5 shown under 'Revision':

Radeon RX | 49X | >256bit | uhd, 2160p |
48X, 47X | 256bit | wqhd, 1440p | |
46X, 45X | 128bit | fullhd, 1080p | |
Radeon | 460X, 45X | 128bit | fullhd, 1080p |
44X | 64bit | - |
You can also spot the Tier 9 in there indicating Radeon RX 490, it is listed with a 256-bit wide (or higher) memory bus and tagged as a 4K capable graphics cards. AMD has not officially confirmed of the revisions, but pointed to the possibility of it with this slide.

It can get 15-20 fps at 1440p in most games I guess? It roughly matches a GTX 970, and that's what a 970 would get at 1440p in a modern game maxed.
Is this a joke? You're on the wrong kind of forum to be calling people elitists over maxing details.
Bro he is serious. Between him and vase I'm really not wanting to suggest this card to friends due to not wanting them to start acting like them.

I totally agree with Loophole35 and Denial, I wouldn't buy this for my 1440p screen! I waited for this cards release before I made my purchase of a 1070, after I read the review I liked the card and its performance at its price point, but its certainly not for 1440p gaming with modern titles. 1080p gaming is its domain.

Like Leszy's 2 pictures show; the RX 480 IS capable of 1440p gaming.
On the other-hand, I do think having a 1440p monitor and then buying the RX 480 to go with it is dumb. However, going crossfire RX 480, yeah, decent setup.

Those graphs don't tell me enough, what in game settings where used!? If you look at Fallout 4 it shows nearly 70FPS (DX11) and Hilberts graphs shows mid 50s, quite a bit of a difference there. Then theres Battlefield Hardline, the quoted graph shows nearly 80FPS at 1440p whereas Hilbert saw mid 40s I mean what!?
I guess theres no right or wrong here, if someones happy to game at 1440p and turn a lot of settings down to get 60FPS thats up to them, personally I don't want to make that compromise, so for me RX480 is nowheres near enough for 1440p, hence why I've got a 1070 arriving today.
