AMD RX 500 series Launch April 4th with three rebrands

AMD RX 500 series Launch April 4th with three rebrands

We talked about a possible rehash before, but it seems it's now more validated. AMD will be rebranding some of the 400 series graphics cards into the RX 500 series. Starting April 4 you sould see the Radeon RX 570 and RX 580, followed by Radeon RX 550 en RX 560 on April 11th.

The Radeon RX 580 would be a faster version of the RX 480 with a bump in clock frequency towards 1340 MHz. The 570 would be a 38 MHz faster model based on the RX 470. Both models will again be offered in a 4GB and 8 GB version.

The RX 560 is a 460 with 1024 stream processors abd a clock frequency of 1287 MHz. This would make the 560 substantially faster compared to the 460. The RX 550 would be Polaris 12 based, a new low-end SKU. Details on that one are missing.

VEGA will be released later, quite honestly expect that to be released end of May/June in the Computex time frame

Ah, they dropped the ball quite hard on the GPU front. It would seem the theory that Nvidia were worried about Vega and released 1080ti yearly to cash their chips will be just a theory. It i starting to look like they new they will be moving forward without real competition in the high brackets and just launched what they had. I hope this is not true but...

If the 500 series is a true thing why someone should buy the RX 580 when he can pick the 480 8GB for less money and make a small overclock to reach the same performance of the new card?
I was expecting a 490 powerful like a GTX 1070, and Vega. Now instead it seems we got this 500 series crap. wtf

AMD's rebranding department is probably the busiest people in the company!

The situation have changed. NVIDIA sucked money from the customers for nearly 3/4 of a year. Now, when Vega will be coming out, NVIDIA lowered the prices and overpriced Pascal became much more suitable for regular gaming users.
I mean, Vega seemed to be very powerful against overpriced Pascal... now, odds are even. And maybe...MAYBE, when Vega is released it wouldn´t be that much competitive against current Pascal as it was against overpriced Pascal.

And another version. NVIDIA is very aware about Vega´s strength, so lowering the prices is just another try to suck dry the customers, and in summer, after Vega release, we will see Pascal Refresh (Ti models of 70,60 or GTX 11x0 or GTX 20x0) Which will be more competitive against Vega.

Future is unclear, but in favor of a regular customer.

Buying a GPU now is a nonsense, same as buying a CPU month ago.
