So far, AMD has kept a tight ship about what their Polaris GPUs will look like. The only official information we’ve received is that Polaris 10 will be targeting the mainstream segment of the market. Other than that, we have various rumours claiming that Polaris 10 will be the R9 480(X) and performance rumours have placed it from below R9 390X all the way to above the GTX 980Ti. Today, we’re getting some benchmarks of what might be Polaris 10.
As the source is quick to point out, all we have to go with are a few Polaris GPU IDs. These have been suggested to be Polaris 10 given their performance and likely the R9 480(X). Of course, I would take these numbers with a giant grain of salt. For the AMD Polaris 67DF:C7, we have 18060 points while the AMD Polaris 67DF:C4 scores 16164 points in 3DMark 11. There is also a Crossfire Polaris 67DF:C7 which scores 25803 points.
It’s important to point out that the scores for the chips are climbing over the past while, likely due to driver and clock speed improvements.Videocardz also messed up a bit with the R9 390X scores which should be somewhat higher. Based on the results, it points to performance on the lower end of the rumours but is by no means confirmed or final. The Crossfire scores are also a bit poor based on past experience. While we can’t read too much into this, it does seem to set a baseline for what Polaris 10 will eventually perform like.
poor amd ;( u need to hit nvidia hard so i get cheaper nvidia card >:>
This is only AMD’s upper mid-range offering. Their Top tier cards are Vega10 and Only Coming in October 2016. Seeing these results actually make me worry for NVidia’s part.
nice! well i hope they top the board but then again even when they do that nvidia will soon release the Ti model and be on the top again =/
True, but at least it keeps up a competitive market. Always good for the customers 😉
indeed. monopoly is never good for end users.
They might be valid Polaris 10 scores, but there is nothing indicating that they are at final clocks. AMD isn’t going to risk those details getting leaked too early.
I take it the AMD Polaris 67DF:C4 is the R9-480 while the AMD Polaris 67DF:C7 might be the R9-480X? If so those cards better be $200 tops cause the performance is poor compared to Nvidia’s older and newer cards.
Well… the 67DF:C7 outperforms the 980 so I think that’s what could be compared with a 1070, so probably will be on the 300 ish. I wouldn’t call outperforming the 980 by 5% poor performance unless it’s the top of the line model…
