The AMD RX 480 is here!
GTX 1080 has been released, so AMD has responded by informing us about the RX 480.
The Radeon RX 480 can run VR-ready games but will cost $200, which is very cheap.
The GTX 970 can too achieve that but it will cost some more dollars, and at low settings.
AMD will hit the market hard with a cheap solution to Virtual Reality, and has a very, very competitive pricing. The card has 36 compute units, according to AMD, and it will have 4 GB and 8 GB GDDR5 options, unlike the GeForce 10x series which has a newer GDDR5-X. It will run AMD's much awaited Polaris architecture.
In Crossfire configuration, the dual RX 480 did manage better than a dual GTX 1080 by 3.8 FPS on Ashes of the Singularity, in the unveiling. But two RX 480's are cheaper than two GTX 1080's, and that's pretty impressive.
AMD did not inform us that two 480's will cost you 300 Watts - 150 Units more, so that retains the fact that AMD is not for power-conscious users.
Conclusion: AMD is definitely going to hit the wallet less than NVIDIA but will hit more on your bills. Please comment your opinions and don't forget to follow me on Twitter @TechRatul. Do subscribe to my YouTube channel RatulsTech, there will be some serious tech coming up!
