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.

Im not a fanboy - I just cant stand when people say that you cant get stellar performance if you dont play on max graphics or locked 60fps especially when there are freesyinc and gsync monitors out there and you dont get any stutters when the framerate dips below 60.

you are going to hook a $200 GPU up to a $550 monitor? And you call me an elitist.

why should he pay $500 dollar for a $200 dollar card?
btw. you will be surprised about the difference in image quality a good display makes with any range of card (low-end up to enthusiast)

Wait what??????? Who is paying $500 for a $200 card?
Nice straw-man by the way.

"Your reading comprehension is lacking" That applies also to you. As I said turning the settings from very high to just high will give you really good results. Not everyone cares about playing in max detail since it is hardly noticeable most of the time. But it seems that for you it is go big or go home. Besides when the 970 came out it got praised for 1440p capabilities and it didnt deliver 1440@60 on guru benchmarks also so why would this be different?
Find me praising the 970 for 1440 performance 970sli maybe but not single 970. Hell not even single 980 could do that and oh look where this card is positioned right smack dab in the middle of those two cards.
says the fanboy with the NVidia logo...
You lack a sense of humor.
I thought I read somewhere that AMD specifically intended the RX 480 to be for 1080p. That being said, the 4GB model makes a lot more sense, especially since (from what I heard) it has better bandwidth.
Doing multiple 8GB 480s in Crossfire seems like it'd be a fantastic 2k gaming setup; the price, performance, and power consumption ratio would be very solid. A single 480 should handle just about any game that doesn't support crossfire with playable frame rates.
Careful you are making too much sense in here. AMD made a mistake calling this card a 1440p card.
I didn't think a tongue in cheek comment would start so much crap from butthurt fanboys.
