AMD RX 480 Review - The Best Graphics Card for the Money!

2016-06-29
what's up world you know you've been waiting for it we've been waiting for it to the brand new AMD R X 480 is here it's supposed to be price right and you want to see what it's all about we've got what it's all about let's go alright kiddies so I've got this card in my hot little hands and there's some things you're going to want to know about it now this card as you guys can see it's not any aftermarket design whatsoever this is just straight-up one of the cards from AMD this is the 88 goodbye virgin in our hand now the front of it features just a single fan design the card size is in though at nine and a half inches long by four inches high and it's a two slot design so pretty much like all the other cards that you're seeing out there in the same size range there's nothing too exciting or two different about that now in a reality there's not too much the design of the reference model you know our X 480 it's simple front design single fan the back absolutely no backplate if you touch the card over there you can't actually cut yourself you guys can see the PCB is actually even smaller than the cooling solution you know all that's pretty is pretty simple stuff now there are some cool things about the car that you're going to be very happy about first of those is the power requirements single six pin power connector only requires a hundred and fifty watts of power we actually did some of our testing on an AMD based system that an 8350 you guys thought it was the Icarus system this card is running on the EVGA 430 what power supply absolutely no problems whatsoever so it doesn't require a giant power supply to run the RX 40 that's for damn sure now the Rio something cool few folks out there like running through your TVs and all that hdmi 2.0 is on the polaris chipset so you get that support with this card and there's also three display ports you can run multi monitor technology all off the 480 so we've seen how the card looks we've seen it speeds and feeds now let's talk about some of the special features that you're going to want to know about as a gamer the RX authority is based off the 14 nanometer FinFET process it also features a fourth-generation GCN architecture it features 36 compute units 2,304 stream processors it as a base clock speed of 1120 megahertz a boost clock of twelve hundred sixty-six megahertz and features up to 5.8 teraflops of peak performance like I said the card that we have is the eight gigabyte model there's also a four gigabyte model available out there as well the RX 40 features a 256-bit memory interface and it also features a memory band with of 224 and gigabits a second come like I said previously the board power only requires 150 watts to power the cart and that's awesome you also get AMD freesync technology direct x12 support Vulcan support and support for BR premium and if you happen to be wondering what is VR premium basically VR premium is AMD solution this moment to the VR world so all right folks that's what the card looks like that's the card speeds and beads now there are some special features that come with this cards and things that have been improved like liquid VR that's going to have improved stuff of Polaris DirectX 12 all going to be supported and they actually have a new type of audio the disposition inaudi oh and everything throughout the card so your audio environments also going to be improved as well few people use the audio you know directly from your card I know there's some hardcore people out there who still use a sound card but you really don't need it with the new technology that's on this card so with that said let's first check out that test system and then let's rock out to the benchmark song and check out those bitches now if you folks wondering how does the 480 boost with most games we saw the card burning at about 1200 67 megahertz but when it came to overclocking I don't meet a kick AMD but the overclocking results in this card were actually pretty shoddy we just did a 1.5% overclock the card shot from 83 Celsius all the way up to 91 Celsius and if we try to push it any farther than that the system would actually crash how so there you have it a and DS rx 480 is here starting at $200 with a base model and moving up to the 8 gigabyte monsters I think I'm $300 so you guys can see it runs a little bit hot but the scores are really nice in 1080 and 1440 this card's kicking absent for the price range it's going to be a serious competitor out there in the market I may lurk you guys been watching teka tomorrow we're going to have lots of more videos including this card inside the system we made last week the ecosystem which is all AMD based so you people out there well in 8350 1820 those types of CPUs you'll be happy to see that video and that's coming up next like usual all the information about this will be down below that like button hopefully you guys like this video go Jacky Chan style in it and we'll see you guys background check in tomorrow or more fricking tech
