We've hit episode 20 of Ask GN – our video series is almost old enough to drink. The format has matured and the user questions have shaped discussion for months now. To contribute to the next episode of Ask GN, please visit the video page and leave your comment among the YouTube commenters – these are good ones, though; we promise.
This week, our Ask GN discussion moves along from the 1080 & 1080 Ti rumor discussion of past episodes and instead focuses on AMD's new RX 480, 470, 460, and potential higher-end devices (e.g. a “490,” should one exist). The questions, as always, are timestamped below.
Questions & Timestamps
0:35 - Dohn Joe: "hey, steve. amd said in their rx 480 presentation that polaris 10/11 will feature cards with the price range of 100-300 dollars. since the rx 480 is 199-229 dollars, do you think the 300 dollar card is the 490? do you think it can challenge the gtx 1070? or could it (possibly) be better? thanks in advance and more power to GN!?"
