Yeah. Looks lower than what owners on OCN have reported. I suspect he broke NDA as he didn't sign one and is using drivers on disc with card. Users have reported poor performance on these drivers.

I hope this is the case, as owners reporting 980 performance on OCN have been trolling otherwise.

ugh the card is roughly as fast as a GTX 970. The GTX 970 was like 250€ in europe with a free game like The Division or DOOM for the last 3-4 months.

I really hoped this card was as fast as a stock GTX 980, but it isn't.

I didn't expect 980 Ti levels of performance, but slower than my 290X come on AMD.

I'm really going to want to see some power consumption numbers from TPU... Compared to the 970 it looks on par. I'd imagine we'd see a good 5-15% improvement with new drivers with Polaris hopefully. That should bring it past the GTX970. Then hopefully those power consumption numbers are a good 25-50w lower than the GTX970, then with overclocking, at or a little past a GTX980... that might make it worth it but we'll see...

If you don't sign an NDA, how could you possibly break one

Ulrich himself said he was using old drivers. So he's not reviewing the RX 480 as we're going to get it. Never once said anything about AIB or bias. Untwist your panties.

So you package 2 posts that are already posted on OCN news as a new news post? Or are you just trying to get the jump on this news so you can include actual reviews when they come out? Either way, this thread should not exist yet. Basically at this point, your just posting duplicate news stories as your own news post...
