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

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

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...

For a number of valid reasons, AMD still continues to tweak and evolve its GCN architecture rather than outright replace or revolutionise it, but that's not to say it's done a bad job with Polaris. The transition to the 14nm FinFET process coupled with AM...
AMD says it's going after that chunk of the market buying $100 to $300 graphics cards—84% of gamers, according to its internal data. The company wants a big install base of VR-capable PCs so that as HMDs become more affordable, enthusiasts have the hardwa...
