AMD possibly will be using XX5 revisions e.g. AMD Radeon RX 495

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.

Yeah no way I'm playing under 60Hz on PC. If I want that I will play a console.

I get what you are saying but the problem remains that adaptive-sync monitors are out of reach for the low-mid market.


And that's the rub.

Newegg has a refurb at $399.99 if that is your proof it is moot. The cheapest they have new is $445.


You can buy a Acer XG270HU from microcenter at 399

Is that one of their in store only deals? That same one is $499 on newegg.

I really wish we had a microcenter down here in Florida.

I don't even understand how there is an argument here.

I have a GTX980, I have a XB270HU. The experience at 1440p, in modern titles is poor. I considered upgrading to a 980Ti and I'm currently considering upgrading a 1080. My 980 is overclocked at 1480 too -- I still have to run games like The Division, R6 Siege, Witcher 3, Paragon, etc all at medium/high settings in order to maintain 60fps. G-Sync helps but it's not making a 25% performance increase that a 980Ti would have given me.

There is no way an RX480, which is arguably 20% slower then my overclocked 980, is going manage well with 1440p. I know I personally would be severely disappointed with the performance, because I'm currently disappointed now with a faster card.

Ok, so adaptive sync is more a smoothing tool then; more of a way to address stuttering than to compensate for actual consistent low frame rates, homogenizing the whole fluid nature presented on the screen. There is nothing that can replace old try and true. Thank you.
