Radeon RX 470 Benchmarks
In the slide-deck that was released yesterday some benchmark numbers have been, well almost hidden. But they are there. I added them into two charts to check out.
Let me clearly state that the benchmarks have been performed by AMD so we cannot verify quality settings. The scores have been derived from the footnotes of the PDF:
Polaris 10 2.8x performance per watt: Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of May 10, 2016 on the AMD Radeon™ RX 470 (110w) and AMD Radeon™ R9 270X (180w),ona test systemcomprising i7 5960X @ 3.0 GHz 16GB memory, AMD Radeon Software driver 16.20 and Windows 10.. Using 3DMark Fire Strike preset 1080p the scores were 9090 and 5787 respectively. Using Ashes ofthe Singularity 1080P High, the scores were 46 fps and 28.1 fps respectively. Using Hitman 1080p High, the scores were 60 fpsand 27.6 fps respectively. Using Overwatch1080p Max settings, the scoreswere 121 fps and 76 fps respectively. Using Performance/Board power, the resulting average across the 4 different titles was a perf per watt of 2.8X vs the Radeon R9 270X. Test results are not average andmay vary.
Good to see is that they used a test-setup that matches ours:
Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of June 10, 2016 on the Radeon™ RX 480 8GB and R9 380 on a test system comprising Intel i7-5960X, 16GB DDR4-2666 RAM, GigabyteX99-UD4, Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.1.1, and Win10 64-bit. Using the Steam VR Performance test, Radeon RX 480 scored 6.3 and Radeon R9 380 scored 3.6. Performance may vary based onuse of latest driver versions. Test results are not average and may vary.
BTW theres also mention of a mobile part called AMD Radeon RX 480M based on Polaris 11:
Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of May 10, 2016 on 3DMark 11 and 3DMark Firestrikeusing a test system comprising of an i7-4600M, 8GB, AMD Radeon driver 16.20. AMD Radeon R9 M280X (14CUs) scored 5700 and 3500 with a board power of 82W. AMD Radeon RX 480M (16CUs) scored 7200 and 4070 with a board power of 35W. Using Performance/Board power, the resulting average across the 2 different titles was a perf per watt of 2.8X vs the Radeon R9 M280X .
The RX 470 would use roughly 110W, benchmarks used are 3DMarl FireStrike, Ashes of the Singularity, Hitman and Overwatch. The card is only being compared to a 270X, however FireStrike is normalized and was placed into our regular chart:
Here you go, have a peek:

Holy guacamole! If everything is true, somebody might upgrade to a RX 480 this year.

If true the Polaris line up is looking like a good bang for buck option, just hope it's true

So basicly AMD is forcing people into Crossfire to get the same Performance as a 1070 for Less Money.
Sucks if you hate Crossfire and want Single Card performance of the 1070.

Yeah, I picked-up on this early this morning. I also estimated around R9 290 performance. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=408103&page=6

This leak confirms 480 to be around 980 performance.
I hope its true. AMD will dominate mid-high GPU range with this.

I didnt expect that level of performance from 470. Seems like a owesome card if it can keep 150$.

At this point I don't trust anything until Hilbert confirms it with his benchmarks. Would be nice if true and if it reflects the real word gaming performance too.

No. These cards are meant for people who either can't afford or simply aren't interested in a higher end (more expensive) card like 1070 and upward. It's silly to think 1070 would be some kind of a standard level of performance everybody must have to be able to play their Dota or whatever. You can play 99% of games out there just fine with less power than 1070's, maybe not on uber settings, but play nonetheless.
AMD's answer to 1070 and 1080 is still basically nothing but rumours and idle talk.

Agree, but i think they will only release an answer to the 1070 at a lower cost, under the name of 480x, which should be a great buy if so.
For high end people, there's the 1080 or future 1080ti/ Vega GPU's.

Hilarious the amount of people on here who believe if you don't have the best there must be something wrong with the product.

Forcing? No. It is your choice to buy or not.
At this moment, you can go and buy GTX 980Ti at good price.
What AMD is about to do, is to deliver record bump in performance without greatly inflating price. Quite opposite, isn't it? Price seems rather good.
Polaris is just bit small, entry level desktops and midrange solutions. +What looks like great step on mobile front.
You'll get taste now and you'll be able to approximate Vega. For which you can wait half of a year.
Always your choice.

You're actually looking at more money though.
RX 480 8GB crossfire will be roughly £478
GTX1070 is roughly £400, some cheaper, some more expensive.
On the otherhand, it'll probably beat both pascal cards in supported games.

We will have to wait for Vega to see higher end GPUs. I do not understand why everyone is comparing these cards to the 1070/1080. They are mainstream gpus.
It seems they some nvidia fans just want a higher cheaper permforming card to force prices down on the 1070/1080.

Almost r9 290 performance at 110W and not to mention it should not cost more than $160, seems like a great performer, if it's true.
