I have RX 480, doing fine. I read mixed reviews about the new ones. Apparently, RX 580 is a bad choice, because it only performs, like, 5% better than 480, but its power consumption is unproportionally higher. But you should probably do your own research.
You should add a little a get something like GTX 1070. That is such a power house, honestly. My brother uses it and it's running super cool at all times, has low power consumption, it's super quiet even in heavy applications/videogames and gives amazing performance. It's totally worth those $330 bucks in my opinion.
Gotta copyright it ASAP then. On a serious note, It's just that I had the chance to use 'em both and this is the conclusion I came up.
The 10 series nVidia cards are definitely sweet. I hope Vega kicks their asses though! So much waiting. I just got a GTX 1080 open box because I needed more performance than my R9 Fury had and I can't wait till June. If you can get a good deal on a Fury or Fury X (water cooled version) then that's a lot of bang for the buck! I could give you my RX Fury Strix for $200 if ya want. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1720?vs=1748 - There is a comparison b/w the Fury X and 480. The Fury air-cooled will be a little lower but still beats the 480 handily.
AMD Radeon RX Vega Still on Track for Q2 release On its facebook page (looks like the Polish one) AMD inadvertently shared a few words about Radeon RX Vega. When a user asked When will Vega be ready? AMD replied, with : “When it is ready … and it will be this quarter. It has been silent on the topic that is Radeon RX VEGA alright. Q2 runs to June. At this time a lot remains unclean, however reports claim that the AMD Radeon RX Vega should be released next month close to Computex, which would make the most sense of course. Meanwhile AMD is showing capabilities of the new Vega cards right at this moment in Las Vegas at the NAB exhibition. AMD shows the graphics chip managing 8K video content in Adobe’s Premiere Pro CC 2017 video editing suite. For VEGA there will be Vega 10 for desktop cards and a smaller Vega 11 for mobile. The GPUs will come with 4GB or 8GB HBM2 memory based on a on a 2048-bit memory bus with ~512GB/s bandwidth. The card is assumed to be capable of 12.5 TFLOPS of perf. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-rx-vega-still-on-track-for-q2-release.html
How are you guys playing the earnings? I'm a bit worried there may be too high expectations going into this ER when only a few weeks of ryzen sales are included. I think next quarter might be where we see a bigger difference with ryzen 5, more ryzen 7 sales, and vega coming out.
This is priced pretty tightly, I would not be playing earnings, I feel its just too overhyped. I still like the stock, but I just cant chase it!
Me and Goldman have a short-term target of $11. However, my long-term target is $37.50. I will wait to go long after the ER.
Many of us techs are AMD partners, I my self run a computer shop, We get test cards sent to us before public release, to give them feed back and tweak ideas etc.. that's how he got one.
If we get a good ER this eve, I would expect this to go to at least $14, We have to watch for GS manipulation though. Regardless I am sitting on these shares, I know what AMD has in the pipeline.. With in 36 months AMD could be a $50 a share stock.
I sold my position Friday/today because I thought there was too much hype and high expectations for ER. I still think AMD is a good play and may re enter soon.
Investors don't know anything; in aggregate they just react to price. If the CM isn't there to support a price, the public sells it off. Goldman already warned they were not going to support price until at least $11. None of the other big dogs are going to fade the broker that runs the country/world.
