AMD fans must be salivating right now because this is some amazing news. Well, not officially. Leaked benchmarks show the AMD card which will probably be called the R9 480 beating GTX 980 in 3Dmark and falling short of the HBM powered R9 Fury.
However, some truly amazing results can be seen when the cards are CrossFired, with results approaching the newly announced Pascal card GTX 1080! The implications of this are huge, because industry experts were expecting about the same levels of performance from Polaris as we saw from Pascal.
The GTX 1060, as we posted earlier, seems to be boasting performance comparable to the GTX 970, so its rival AMD card beating the 980 is a huge advantage for AMD.
Earlier we posted about the expected announcement date and event for this card along with the next gen AMD APUs. This leak has upped the ante even further, as hype for the AMD Polaris cards increases day by day.
