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

Great value, 8GB of GDDR5, When paired with a FreeSync monitor 1440p gaming is a legitimate option, Good DX12 performance
