“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
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...

Abstract: AMD just made available the Radeon Software Crimson Edition driver v16.7.1 with fixes for the Radeon RX 480's power consumption issues. The driver is available for download on AMD's website now, and includes a long list of fixes and known issues. The list...
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...

AMD's RX 480 launch introduces the Polaris architecture to the world, arranging an alliterative architecture assortment from both GPU vendors. This is AMD's answer to the largest market segment, shipping in 4GB and 8GB variants that are priced at $200 an...
The reference RX 480 brings new features and GTX 970/R9 390 performance to a $239 card, WattMan brings new features to Radeon overclocking that was not present in OverDrive, RX 480 is a fast midrange card and a good replacement for the power-hungry R9 390
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
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...
