AMD took a calculated risk with the RX 480, releasing it as their inaugural GCN 4.0 graphics card, rather than opting for the more traditional stance of releasing their fastest GPU first. The cynic may say that's because they don't yet have the single GPU...
Abstract: Both Warhammer and Total War are popular game series, however this isn't the only reason as to why the new game Total War: Warhammer is interesting. The game also has a DirectX 12 mode. In this review we test Warhammar with 20 GPUs in DirectX 12: the numb...

The sort of performance offered up by the AMD Radeon RX 480 for the price that is asked is in my mind impressive, but (thanks to a price drop) already the new Nvidia GTX 1060 is snapping at its heels, but (of course) it still costs more. Our sample Radeo...

In SOME games the scalling is fantasitc, Amazing 1440P/Entry 4K performance (NOT ALL GAMES), Value to performance ratio
Crossfire is NOT supported on all games, Current CF performance is wonky, Two cards = Lots of HEAT!
Be realistic and understand what this combo of cards CAN and CANT NOT do. In some scenarios, it does nip at the heels of a GTX 1080, for considerably less money! Sadly, this setup suffers from the same issue as ANY other Xfire config. Rollercoaster like M...

Abstract: So going into this article, we have three major questions to address. Firstly, do you really need the 8GB of framebuffer memory for the more expensive version of the RX 480? Secondly, is there any performance differential between the two models in scenari...

On paper the Nvidia GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 come out on top, meaning if you're in search of performance, these two cards offers more horsepower. However if you're on a budget, the Nvidia GTX 1060 and AMD Radeon RX 480 are both considerably cheaper and offer...

Astonishing frame-rates in DirectX 12 games, Beautiful aesthetic design, Excellent construction, Extremely low power consumption, High-quality electronics, Improved hardware-level asynchronous compute, Magnificent entry card for VR, Suitable for 1440p gam
Limited overclocking room, High thermals, Stock cooler isn’t quiet under load, “The AMD RX 480 is a pro-consumer move towards affordable yet powerful GPUs which brings VR to the masses. It’s able to output superb frame-rates even when using a 1440p monito
PriceA large aspect of the RX 480's appeal is its ridiculously cheap $199.99 price point and ability to offer a “premium VR experience”. Of course, import duty, tax and other factors can impact on the price in non-US regions and it's very rare to see a si...

excellent performance levels out of the box, decent price points, overclocking potential looks high, high power efficiency at stock settings
mediocre cooling system on the reference card, throttling issues can occur unless fan levels and temperature targets are increased, small blower style fan can get loud, no backplate.
The AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB is certainly a very capable graphics card and as our readers have been discussing in the build up to launch today the much touted price point of $199.99 really did seem too good to be true.While American prices seem very competit...
