How much power does an 8 Pin provide?

Wow what a clusterf$%k. Did they not test these cards properly on various motherboards before releasing them.
If they do downclock the 480 to fix the issue, then i agree with others here in that all benchmark results so far will be invalid, and they will need to retest them again after the driver fix for more accurate results.
Also i would imagine that overclocking or running the 480's in Xfire would only worsen this power draw issue, so maybe best to run a single 480 and not overclock them.
Also where are all the AMD guys now, the ones claiming in the past few days that there was no issues with the excess power draw? Vase??
AMD just pushed to hard with this gpu, there was to much pre-release hype that caused a lot of disappointment once it was released.
And now these power draw issues and the possibility of having the 480 downclocked to fix this, the 480 is not a good release at all!

Not only does it take more power than a 1070, it's asking for more than 75W over PCI lane?! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
I really want this card to get AMD back in the game, come on !

half of the people here were playing with their nintendo game boys or sega game gears when this came out.

and what did the board do? power down the card, as spec dictates.
all is fine. it is a no issue.
amd will have to deal with the mess the internet-troll ****storm created.
by probably undervolting and leaving boost clocks or by reducing power level via an optional driver profile hotfix ... and in the same time they will comment:
"these adjustments have been made to assure 100% that it will run on ALL motherboards with a single pcie 1.0 slot from 2005-2016 that wasnt even designed for gamer pcs.
-> people who have standard mainboards that are newer than from 2010 or high end mainboards can just set the powerlevels back to xy as they were before or dont have to install the hotfix at all unless they experience shutdowns of the graphics card.
we had to do this because public opinion was misguided by toxic individuals
thank you for your understanding."
or maybe they will come up with some even more elegant solution, whatever.
with it being a non-issue still, the way of the "solution" is absolutely irrelevant.
but then at least there will be quiet faces and the trolls can actually get back to doing homework or something like that.
yeah dont worry mr. obtrusive.
i am still here and no issues with dead mainboards have arisen.
why would benchmark results be invalid?
the card works perfectly with the highest performance on all standard modern mainboards.
i dont see ANY mainboard section of a forum flooding with posts of dead boards or ANYTHING like it.
i just see worthless stuff being posted by users on here that like to produce chaos.
there have yet to be reports about any ISSUE apart from one guys youtube who deliberately tested the card on a motherboard from 2010 that doesnt even have windows 10 or windows 8.1 drivers available

To be fair, from what I see often is that AMD just delivers the usual hype almost no different than Nvidia, but it is the AMD cheerleading squads on the forums that actually hype up the products beyond any possibly reasonable level. So when the actual product is delivered with a realistic goal and performance, everyone is let down from all the hype. So you have the AMD cheerleading squad trying to pretend the product meets the hype, while you have everyone else call bullsht on the hype.
It's not going to be any different with Zen or Vega.

vs not undervolted @ 166max from guru3d review
[spoiler]https://snag.gy/4cJdnW.jpg[/spoiler]
now re-review your logical sense.
a re-review makes no sense if just driver parameters that are settable by user change.
you all ask for a re-review while it isnt even CLEAR if there will be this type of solution. but all say "ohhh downgrade incoming".
even if it WOULD be an underclock or power level thing.
how is it a downgrade when 99,99% of the users will just use the same power level as before, because they didnt have a problem in first place.
i'll give you a rereview.
undervolted @154W max:

vase mate, you're making yourself look a bit foolish. Seriously, just stop.

i will reduce my posts down to almost single sentences now because it just seems longer passages overwork some people.

i can tell you what's in it for me to make you accept the facts.
-> helping out just makes me feel better.
i just wanna know why you lie. why do you lie? what's in it for you personally to lie about crossfire relevance & performance?

Let me pass the reality filter on this as CFX user: 480 CFX can beat 1070 in some (few) selected games and fail in the major part of the rest.
Obviously 480 CFX excel in the AMD showcase called AOTS reaching 1080 territory to make a nice and flawed 480 AMD PR slide.
OFC 480 CFX will always beat a single 1070 if you cherry pick and play only the games with perfect CFX scaling...which are a minimal part of the launched AAA titles.
So now 480 CFX is only a 1070 killer in some (many) games that scale and not a 1070 killer in a regular basis?ยฟ? :3eyes:
It seems that your previous opinion about the 480 CFX been a 1070 killer and even in 1080 territory changed a LOT in only 2 days:
