just another rebrand :banana: nothing to see here, move along

I wonder why AMD loves rebrands so much. These are totally pointless. If it was 480->570 and 470->560, with 580 something new, then it would make more sense. The cards are from last year. Surely they aren't too old yet.

Rebrands aren't bad if they improve over the last cards. Only this week 480/470 dropped to a reasonable price, been inflated for months! Now I will wait for the 5xx series and see. Hope the prices aren't inflated as **** again!

From what i read on the webz , it's a refined polaris , by that i mean its able to reach higher speed with the same or lower power usage , i just hope it will OC better to (1.5ghz dream maybe?)

Yep we had that with 7970>280x>380x so i guess we gonna have 480>580>??? :P

That rebrand chain ends with the 7970>280x. 380X is not rebranded from anything. I'm sick of rebrands too, but lets be fair. "AMD has indeed made some gains in process design optimization which is the reason why the Tonga GPU ends up consuming way lesser power than the Tahiti Pro and Tahiti XT" - Hassan Mujtaba 7970>280x (Tahiti XT GCN 1.0) 285>380 (Tonga Pro GCN 1.2) NOTHING>380x (Tonga XT GCN 1.2)

Rebrands should be forbidden by law. Back in time, ATI unleashed the Radeon X1950 XTX, a vastly more powerful card than the Radeon X1800 XT, but kept it in the same series. Look at AMD now. (To be fair, Nvidia did this devious trick as well up till Kepler.)
