Remember, AMD showed Polaris 11 running Battlefront 3 @ 60FPS @ 1080p -- which is the same FPS as a 380. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/star_wars_battlefront_beta_vga_graphics_performance_benchmarks,5.html https://gfxbench.com/compare.jsp?benchmark=gfx40&did1=28949748&os1=Windows&api1=gl&hwtype1=dGPU&hwname1=AMD+67DF%3AC4&D2=AMD+ASUS+R9+380+Series So this is probably Polaris 11, if anything.

I compared the results to a 380 in terms of % earlier in this thread and thought this comes close to 380x. Even tho in some of those tests it loses to a 270x mtexels for example. I do think it is a Polaris 11. But that is said in the article already also, that it is rumored to be a Polaris 11. These tests tho I do not like at all since they seem to be all over the place and we cannot see the rest of the systems at all.

What's the point of buying an AMD graphics card if the drivers are all messed up?

Define "messed up". Be thoughtful not to make fool out of yourself. I wonder how many sentences, you can make.

You can tell he never used an AMD card so knows squat.

Tried not to hop on this train, but since I've been saving for Polaris 10 (480X, whatever is the top before Vega) this has me slightly worried. Basically I'm looking for 10% improvement over my current card since I'll be on 1080p using things like VSR for the foreseeable future. It looks like AMD is going for the more "970" approach this time around. By that I mean smaller core, less clusters/ROP/TMU things, much smaller bus width, but all with sky high clocking OC potential. Compared to the 290/390 family that have HUGE bus width and big cores and are able to heat my house, I wouldn't mind trying a card that is under 200W when overclocked and overvolted. I suppose only time will tell, but I hope for AMD and gamers alike that things go well for the red team.

You'll get your upgrade, if 10% is all you're looking for! Same number of SP, new arch, clocks etc etc...esy peasy 10%

ehh under 200W OC/OV-ed... 10% is weak, but this I would love. Although this will be a matter of luck. And once you start OC/OV-ing, power can quickly shoot up to a whole different level.

The leaked bench might be Ellesmere Pro?

Polaris developer diary - May 4, 2016: - Ellesmere XT still belongs to A0 chip testing phase - we expect the third week of may to provide A1 official version of the chip for testing - RTG has now issued a PCB design reference suggests, the various AIB has entered card pre-production stage, relatively speaking, Baffin PCB's proposal is very short and simple, 4-layer PCB + single fan on can, but also shorter than the Nano - Ellesmere of PCB recommendations are slightly longer than the Nano, but as long as the 6-layer PCB + single fan

this made no sense at all

Well it is in Chinese, won't make sense unless you speak it, translators suck. Ellesmere pro is the cut down Polaris 10 SKUs in the new Playstation 4.
