R9 Fury Nitro 1100 mhz gpu clock - so slow - why ?

[epixoip]

RX 480 is the same architecture AMD has been pushing for the past 5 years, this time with a long-overdue process shrink. AMD claims it's a 150W GPU; at 28nm it would probably draw around 275W, and moving to 14nm will probably save ~25%, so we can assume this is a ~205W GPU in a 150W package, meaning this card likely WILL throttle. Which sucks, because 2304 cores @ 1120 Mhz puts its performance right in the middle between HD 7970 and R9 290 (which is really shitty for a 2017 flagship considering those are 3-5 year old GPUs), and with throttling it will perform closer to an overclocked HD 7970.

So yeah, still absolutely no reason to ever consider AMD over Nvidia.
