“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
Crossfire is NOT supported on all games
Current CF performance is wonky
Two cards = Lots of HEAT!
Slightly noisy under load
Not that much faster than a GTX 970
Build quality show the card's budget roots
Mediocre cooling system on the reference card
Throttling issues can occur unless fan levels and temperature targets are increased
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...

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...
