"More powerful than Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080"
 
I'll believe it when I see it.

rjohnson11, please change thread title to:
"AMD Radeon RX 490 CLAIMS TO BE more powerful than Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 with 4K gaming support"
feel free to add a "LMAO" at the end. 

 
 

hahahaha. They realize they're getting smoked, and the only rhetorical value they "had" to get people to buy the RX480 is the fact that (2) RX480s were able to beat a single GTX 1080, in cross-fire. That's still pretty embarrassing. AMD is basically doing what Nvidia did when they launched 780TI by releasing the RX-490, their fans are getting laughed at.

The 1080 has no competition, but when AMD releases a high-end card it will.
I keep seeing users here right off AMD, meanwhile their stock is up 300%. They're in every MAC, Xbox, PlayStation, upcoming server centers, and have took back part of the market. Its time we all rethink AMD.

BTW I can't open that link on my mobile, it's filled with popups. Opens three new windows, tells me to down load BS virus protection stuff, and it vibrates (why would it vibrate)!

I love competition for GPU power.

That is what AMD said about the R9 290X when I picked up a pair of LCSs.
At the time the only thing they could beat out was Folding Tasks over the GTX 780 cards and now they are almost useless.

How are the 290s almost useless, they kill it at 1080/1440, DX12, and Vulkan....

BF1@1440/144Hz on Ultra...
