Sigh.

I'm not the one hoping a $200 card will defeat the evil nVidians.

Benchmark Scores 3050 scores good 15-20% lower than average, despite ASUS's claims that it has uber cooling.
Today's leak from wccftech (claiming source is 100% reliable :D):




OC benchmarks to follow.

PS
Oh, besides perf, ~100w power consumption, 60C.

PPS
So far the worst benchmark that was shown so far (and it was official one, from AMD) was Steam VR, 480 scored 6.3 like 290 (390 scores more).
Although Steam VR benchmark is rather unreliable. :)

That is plausible, as the GTX1080 is around 5,500 in F.S. Ultra 1.1
Two RX480's would put it in the same range.

Not great, but solid enough performance, I suspect a 1060 will have no problem outpacing it in VR whenever it arrives.

You do have to take these slides with a pinch of salt for sure, when they launched the $1500 Radeon Pro Duo, they chose to underscore the 980 Ti... for obvious marketing reasons.
