It's alright, PowIRstage 3553 could withstand 125C and still maintain 40A current on each stage. My peak temperature is your average temperature, while my average is 66C

Thanks for posting that Black Flag, looks like the core clock and voltage are pretty much the same on my low ASIC RX 470, so much for some say that RX 470 is a crippled crappy version of RX 480 :D

I done some memory clock scaling using 3DMark Fire Strike. From stock 1650MHz on slowest RX 470, 1750MHz on RX 480 4GB, to 2000MHz and 2100MHz on two different core clock, one is 1260MHz and the other is 1400MHz. The card indded memory bandwidth starved, I bet that's the reason why there isn't much difference between RX 470 and RX 480

Clearly 2000 mhz on ram is enough for stock clocks of about 1266-1300 but the rx470/480 with 4gb is bandwidth starved with only 1750mhz gddr5. Too bad they decided to install different ram speeds on the Gpus.

I wanted to post this too here, totally forgot. Yeah nice vid - but I think he got an "golden sample" from XFX there. It's just too good to be an average GPU. I think someone here owns the same card but overclocks are far away from what Jay had - though his temperatures were nice too. Also don't forget Jay didn't use watercooling on it (yet), probably he could do way over 1500MHz with that "golden chip". His pretty average AMD Ref card chip did 1470 under water. So I expect this to do 1500-1550.

Yep i think they sent to him the kingchip of xfx :) when i saw the comparing numbers vs the oc on the watercooled.... i was like ..ehhhhh that is the best rx480 ever built lol

Yeah it's really unreal (lol). Jay said it has something to do with magic PCB/bios but I know it's not that, and XFX isn't better than Sapphire or so. I don't know maybe he is trying to make some good publicity for AMD.

I'm joining the club. Picking up the radeon MSI 480 gaming 8GB card.

It's just a card to tinker with to test against my 290x

But more so a card to take advantage of the latest DX12, and other things the 290x lacks or is behind on.

Will post pictures tomorrow ;)

I'm glad to see you are getting the full 8GB VRAM and the full un-gimped Polaris chip.

I would not attribute the superior cooling to just this models fan design.
I would like to see Games Nexus do a tear-down of this PCB as it is larger than most, and to see if actually is a larger heatsink responsible for the low temperatures.

everyone else added. I must say my card is performing awesome since getting it back. Temps never go over 75C and i've got a small o/c of 20 mhz on it ;D

Cmon post some pics of that beauty running on your system :) , hope you didnt get any ticket for driving at high speed on your way to get back your rx480 lol

I did a thing. Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 the 1342mhz core version, it is literally silent compared to the 290 that it replaced.

Edit,



What is everyone else getting? This is at 1455/2100 stock voltages PWM at +50%, stock fan settings



I need more TDP. I'm maxed out it looks.

Until a bios mod happens I am enjoying 1465/2250. I think the pwm is limited to 260w because it black screens to desktop when it peaks that. This card will break 1500 with more power I bet.

Cmon post some pics of that beauty running on your system :) , hope you didnt get any ticket for driving at high speed on your way to get back your rx480 lol

the store is only a 5-10 min drive from my house, so speeding wasnt even an option lol.

Absolutely loving the 480, temp don't go past 75 and I can max out almost all games I play :) 72 fps cause of vsync or I get massive tearing in games

I wanted to post this too here, totally forgot. Yeah nice vid - but I think he got an "golden sample" from XFX there. It's just too good to be an average GPU. I think someone here owns the same card but overclocks are far away from what Jay had - though his temperatures were nice too. Also don't forget Jay didn't use watercooling on it (yet), probably he could do way over 1500MHz with that "golden chip". His pretty average AMD Ref card chip did 1470 under water. So I expect this to do 1500-1550.
I have the same Gpu

I would not attribute the superior cooling to just this models fan design.
I would like to see Games Nexus do a tear-down of this PCB as it is larger than most, and to see if actually is a larger heatsink responsible for the low temperatures.
I tore mine apart

I may have some pictures of the heatsink
