AMD will be launching today its new Radeon 500 graphics cards series. In case you are wondering, no; these are not the new Vega GPUs. The Radeon 500 series is basically a rebrand of existing Polaris-based RX 400 card with higher frequencies.
AMD will be offering four graphics cards: Radeon RX 550, Radeon RX 560, Radeon RX 570 and Radeon RX 580. It’s also worth noting that there will be three variations: XTR, XTX and XL. XTR is basically the highest-binned chip designed for best performance, while XL will be the budget (and less expensive) version of AMD’s graphics cards.
Videocardz has shared an image of AMD’s official slides, revealing some performance numbers for these new graphics cards.
Below you can also find the specifications for these brand new graphics cards.
Stay tuned for the first third-party benchmarks that will – hopefully – go live later today!

Looking to buy a 580, let’s hope they’ll be cheap enough
TBH you might be better off keeping a eye on outgoing RX 480 stock. I’d imagine it will perform borderline identical to the 580, and you may be able to snag out at an absolute steal.
Yeah, apparently, according to first benchmarks, it’s like 3% of 480 performance, even overclocked

Yawn
I hate rebrandnation from both camps. But hopefully we see Vega soon. The waiting has been so long.
Rebranding is basically the hardware version of “remastering.”
Nothing all that exciting, but at least it’ll drive down RX 480 prices by a bit, which are still great cards for the money.
Not vega ? well what is this aiming for in terms of performance ? 1060 ? 1080 ?
well 1440p max settings @60fps is a pretty big stretch considering that the 1070 doesn’t achieve that in every game. But thank you.
I can start by naming 4 games in which what you said in the post above doesn’t apply.
1. Rainbow six siege
2. Ghost Recon Wildlands
3. Watch Dogs 2
4. Dishonored 2
And so on, i do not know how every game performs but these are the ones i played recently (5930k@4.3ghz, 32gb DDR4-3000, TitanXm).
Keep telling yourself that. I’ll just add Witcher 3 to that. But yea another reason is going to pop up i guess ? Reason you get a high FPS in for honor is that there actually NOTHING happening on screen other than a couple easily rendered npcs etc. 980 is getting very old as we speak so does the Ti variant. Heck even 1080 is getting old at the rate nvidia is popping gpus.
The 580 eats more power than a 480 but I think outperforms a GTX 1060.
Oh well. Nothing to outperform the 1080/1070 let alone the titan or a Ti … god damn… vega is late.
The snobbery is strong with this one….
And for everyone else who is looking at a midrange card and hasn’t bought an RX400 series card, are they useless for them as well? Stop thinking about if these carda are intended for RX400 owners or perhpas they are optimized versions meant for new customers.
But why exactly someone looking to do a real upgrade would pay top dollar for this instead of less for a RX400 series card?
What happened to HBM?
Dude either you lie or you’re delusional. I actually invested a couple minutes in making sure 100% what i was saying is spot on and guess what. Your god damn 980 can’t run “The Witcher 3” Maxed out @1440p. Here are some benchmarks with the game actually maxed out while using the 1440p resolution.
Techspot :
Min fps : 20
Average : 40
Wccftech
Min fps : 36
Average : 47
It is okay if you do not have the money to buy a new card every year. It is okay if your card meets your needs. No need to lie about it’s actual performance in games. Don’t be ashamed of your hardware lol. So you’re garbage claim, you can keep them. Enough said. I’ve given you enough time as it is.
Keep dreaming.
I’m out.
No i was right. You had many options OFF. Don’t go around saying it’s maxed out then. Whatever the reason for the other options to be turned off doesn’t matter.
It’s not maxed out. Plus you’re mostly on sea during the test. Get in crowded areas with full settings. Saw some stutter too. Anyways. Your card isn’t magical. 980s can’t achieve 1440p FULLY MAXED OUT in many games.
Point.
You do not seem to understand the point of having the option on or off. It’s not maxed out. After the video you posted, any argument you post about having a game maxed out is biased.
Oh and yea ANOTHER LIE. Mad Max 4k 60FPS maxed. Not according to most benchmark site. Here’s one for exemple.
Overclock(dot)net
Avg FPS : 36
Max FPS: 43
Plz… Stop the lies.. It hurts.
I do not see any fps in that video so maybe next time keep afterbuner up so everyone can see ?. While you might have a point about outdated benchmarks (patches etc.) mad max was considered a well optimized game because nothing happened on screen. It’s basicly always desert. I’ve played the whole game and yea while it’s fun it’s very empty in most cases (graphics wise).
Indeed. Time only makes it easier (driver, patch etc.) But huh when you’re in the garage in Mad Max you dipped to 44. While it might be a “Playable” framerate, it is not stable. Should you call the GTX980 4k/60FPS capable just because you saw “60” a couple times ? when you’re dipping in the 40s during action and/or crowded places ? This proves my point. Get in crowded and full of stuff places then the 980 won’t be able to offer a 60fps (which was the initial argument). I do not own a 980 so i cannot do the test myself.
