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
I kept writing and writing in those last couple of pages, and had to expand them into their own sections because they began to get so pumped full of words. but here we are, at the final thoughts on AMD's next-gen Radeon RX 480. It's finally here, and i...
the Radeon RX 480 is an awfully attractive card that screams quality—not something you'd expect to find in the $300+ price range. It's a big change from AMD's previous R200 series. But hardware is only half of the equation.Next page: The Radeon RX 480's...
Abstract: Aside from all the games published by so-called triple-A studios every now and then there is a game that, despite having a much smaller budget, still gets a lot done. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one such game. The video cards in our test lab are mobilize...
Far Cry 5 not only reuses many animations from earlier games in the series, but also the Dunia engine is used again by Ubisoft. This time, however, some compute functions have been added, which is due to their collaboration with AMD for this title. We see...

With a performance uplift of seven to 13 per cent comparing a pushed-to-the-limit factory OC RX 580 to a reference RX 480 (meaning even less of a differential with factory OC 480s), the top-end RX card just got better - but not dramatically so - and the i...

Going back to our GTX 1080 review, we were pleasantly surprised to see how well the old GTX 780 Ti held up on our modern benchmarking suite bearing in mind its 3GB of VRAM. The new GTX 1060 3GB has the same amount of memory but an additional two generatio...

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...
