The editors didn't like
The reference cooler is fine for stock clocks but falls way short for overclocking unless the fan speed is cranked up
Drivers are somewhat immature and they are expected to improve as is typical of new architecture
We cannot comment on the $199 4GB vers
Not as powerful as Nvidia's newest cards
Too large for some cases
Power In Line With 2-Year Old Maxwell GPUs
Still not as power efficient as GeForce cards
Stability and performance issues with slick new overclocking software

Abstract: It's been an exciting couple of weeks in the short life of the Radeon RX 480. AMD's new graphics card is the first to use the next-generation Polaris 10 GPU, hot off the fabs. Unfortunately, not all of the excitement has been positive. Shortly after launc...
AMD RX 480 CrossFire is much less expensive and if you are concentrated on price, then RX 480 CrossFire is a win compared to both GTX 1080 and GTX 1070. Hands down that cannot be argued! But there are caveats that go along with that value.AMD RX 480 runs...
AMD Crimson Edition 16.7.1 drivers change the way power is routed to the AMD Radeon RX 480 and they are confident that this solution solves all the power compliance issues that people were concerned about. The compatibility mode button is a bit strange to...

It appears that AMD was pretty easy going with regards to the higher P-state voltages as we were able to reduce ours from 1.15V to 1.05V with the new AMD WattMan software and still had full gaming stability. By lowering the power level down it increases t...
So now that we have put the new RX 480 through the paces, taken a closer look at it, and had a quick run through on what Polaris is all about, what do I think of the card? Well for starters, for those of you who were expecting Polaris to come in and blow...
Abstract: Yesterday we took an in-depth look at the new AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB reference card and found that it was a great card for gamers running 1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440 displays. The performance was pretty good for a $239 graphics card, but most gamers know th...

If you want entry level VR, or R9 390 level of performance for gaming, the RX 480 is new architecture on a new process that uses significantly less power and has more refinements than AMD's last generation. Polaris brings new features that are not availab...
