[Rumor] RX480 AIB Card Leaked and Tested!

It clearly has 480 in the title.

Nope!

It's actually in the slide: it's the perf / watt improvement for RX470 VS R9 270X. AMD claims UP TO 2.8x.

He it's 2x

Updated price from newegg and not MSRP of 270x.
+it's say UP TO, means not in every game.=P

Cheapest for 4GB version I have looked at so far in UK and available....

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/xfx-...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-239-xf.html

That's a good price, ebuyer doing the usual $200=£200 mark up

no doubt that's with the Ebuyer FY warranty

remember the 4gb version is slower , it has ggr5 ,7ghz memory, not 8ghz, like the 8gb version

Dunno what ggr5 is but..

NdMk2o1o · Jun 29, 2016

Regardless I'm sure the ram will be able to oc to 8ghz on the 4gb and that makes no difference as ebuyer are selling the 4gb for 200 and the 8gb for 240 hence my comment.

Having a smaller R&D budget isn't an excuse it's a real thing... I was expecting lower power consumption, but performance is exactly what was expected.

I have no doubts, it just appears that some who maybe hyped the card up want to make some excuses for what some others may perceive as shortcomings, as I said, they don't need to, for the price points its a good card, and just like the 290/X, I am sure non reference designs will sort out the heat, when all was said and done on that release, it turned out to be popular.

AMD's driver download page is an exercise of not punching the screen.

Is 16.6 newer than 16.15?

Join to RADEON Settings >Home > Updates > Check for Update > the new update system is pretty good....

16.6.2 is still Beta.

Included Highlights:
• Support for Radeon™ RX 480
• Support for Oculus Rift™ SDK v1.3 and HTC Vive™
• Hitman™ Crossfire Profiles update

Go join the giveway. No matter the performance, we can all use some free graphic cards:

Did you mean compared to 16.5.1? If yes, then the answer is 16.6.2 is newer.

The usual pattern is :
16.5.1 = Year 16 (2016), month 5 (May), revision/hotfix 1.
16.6.2 = Year 16 (2016), month 6 (June), revision/hotfix 2.

16.15 - was in 16.3.2

16.20 = 16.6.2

Oh my bad, I thought it was a typo and also because I'm still using Crimson 16.5.1 (driver version 16.15).

What do you mean? Bias Bias?

That different sites have different results or that you've picked a bench from last year to compare versus the TOT one? I don't even know if you're saying Guru or TOT is biased. You make no sense sometimes - do you have multiple personality disorder?

xkm1948 · Jun 29, 2016

They didn’t tell any reviewers this fact unless they directly asked about it, so most reviews today missed that fact. We learned about it when AMD informed us that they wouldn’t be sending out any Radeon RX 480 4GB cards and instead would be using a BIOS to limit the Radeon RX 480 8GB cards to 4GB of memory. In theory if you can find a Radeon RX 480 4GB at-launch reference board you should in theory be able to flash it to a card with 8GB of memory!

Confirmed. So the best bang for the buck will be the current reference 4GB card. One BIOS flash and you get a free upgrade to 8GB.

He is going to buy a RX480. Just give him some positive news that make him happy.

xkm1948 · Jun 29, 2016

So reference 4GB like this one can easily be "upgraded" to 8GB by a simple BIOS flash

That is good, dude.

Pulling 90 watt off pcie is bad. =/
1070 is roughly 50% faster (if we trust TPU) at 1080p, yet power consumption of 480 and 1070 is roughly on par:

So Polaris is slightly better than Maxwell on perf/watt... =(

I can live with 150w card just fine (will wait for AIB coolers though), but implications for Vega / Zen are bad.

Custom ones are nearby now and will solve any of your problems with RX480 (except for the consumption I guess

)

I tough Star Wars was an AMD game - and as i remember 390/290x outperformed 970.

even AIB GTX 970 can't beat Ref 290x.

This is a little bit misunderstanding, from Reddit AMA with AMD employee (Robert Hallock, I think) : https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterra...at_amd_the_time_has_come_to_ama_about/d4slz57

Q : Is it true that rx480 4gb is bios locked, and is really a 8gb version?
A : In the market you will see a version with 8GB of physical memory, and a version of 4GB of physical memory. We sent reviewers an 8GB model with a BIOS that allows them to flash between 4GB and 8GB available memory so they could perform testing on both hardware configurations.

One would expect techsite forum user would recognize which side shows Guru3Ds benches. And if knowing that you can't figure who is biased, you probably need to think a bit more.
