RX 480/470/460 Owners Club

[KainXS]

I installed them, when I was installing the drivers stopped installing at one point and then prompted me to install relive and after installing that it completed.

If you have a modded bios though it looks like these drivers re-enabled the driver sig enforcement

It was DDU at fault. 17.0.3.0 didn't work fully with ReLive, 17.0.4.0 released yesterday has support and the ReLive part of installation worked this morning

Well I'm for real this time going to be part of this club... It's an early Christmas press from the wife to me, but she don't have a clue on what to order so she said go ahead and buy it now lol..

So I'm jumping in the car and heading for a 2hr drive to the city and getting it.

I'm grabbing the MSI RX 480 Gaming 8gb X card..

Do you guys think I'll be happy for now with it?

The RGB Lighting effect it comes with... I cant wait to take a few pictures and show it off here.

I know its expensive in Canada but what isn't?

$369 I'll pay doing the price match - 10% of the difference =$1 dollar lol but hey

Maybe I'll get a free game?

The MSI is a meh card...

The MSI is a meh card...

Agreed.
The Factory OC presets make no sense except for the Quiet Mode, which if you game you will never use. Plus the 3 Modes are having to be BIOS flashed, unlike the Nitro+ which are physical memory BIOS chips.

Keep shopping!

Also my install only says partially installed, ReLive software isnt in Radeon Settings can anyone help?

It took me a few tries as I kept getting the same thing, but it wasn't just the Relive, it was the GFX driver too.
I tried the TPU download and for some reason it worked.

I'm actually quite happy with mine. The MSI o/c software is needed for the effects on the card and yes the tools oc profiles suck but I use afterburner anyways and forgo the rgb effects. It still lights white and red. You can look at my initial scores on page 3(I think) of this thread I think maybe my 3770 made them a tad lower than some of the online benches but your Devils Canyon should prove better results. 1400/2100 for the most part 24/7 and it runs cool and quiet.

uno man every MSI card I've ever owned has been a more then a meh card... It may not be a sapphire card but I betcha its faster... (bites tongue) MAY BE FASTER!

I wont know till tomorrow.... Its a new toy so at least gimme Kudos for dumping the 290X for a faster pixel fill rate card

Chris don't bust me balls just yet ok.... lets see what I get in the morning and go from there... from what I see it's the fastest better performamce card outa them all... no?

Hello all AMD RIG!

Correct---No.
But hey, nevermind the custom design, you could be a winner of the Silicon Lottery and have an uber chip that will outperform everyone elses, eh?
Good Luck, and I can't wait to see your results!

 

[KainXS]

My gaming X can only do 1420 on its core and after that no amount of voltage will make it do more than that so yea, its meh. I hope you get a better oc'er than mine.

Post benchmarks already I'm just going off the reviews. It will be curious to see how yours compares.

well you were right about one thing... It does smoke the or your 290.. It diffidently smokes my old 290x @1100/1500 MHz lol..

Any guess on how its going to clock by the ASIC number?

 

[Ungari]

I love the look of the card, but I really wish that MSI would give us a choice of a color neutral shroud like their ARMOR Series has.
That Red shroud clashes with my color scheme and I know that many won't purchase this unless they have a windowless chassis.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

i may get another RX 480 for some xfire action next year, but i would like a freesync monitor 1st prolly try to grab another reference model as thats what i have already

I hear ya but in my case its a perfect match being a ROG mobo and the red n black

 

[Ungari]

This card matches my Black & White build perfectly:

lol I was just whats appn my buddie and just said the same dam thing... I want one more!

It's defiantly faster then my old 290X and even @1440 it holds the frames in and around 60fps with ultimate settings..

1420/2250

 

[Ungari]

But, then again so does my Nitro+.
The only way to improve this color scheme will be to get another for Crossfire after an upgrade to ZEN, that will look awesome!

How much Voltage are you pushing, or is that with Stock Volts?

 

[fullinfusion]

1420/2250

just feeling her up, out I mean lol

1400/2025 right now no voltage

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16605505?

@cdawall what program should I use to OC?

I'm just using the crimson wattman relive oc feature

 

[cdawall]

stock volts should hit 1420, mine does 1430-1450 depending on application

MSI afterburner if I am adding voltage, other than that just wattman.

@cdawall will the system screw up big time if I push the memory to far?

The 290X was a bitch to recover from and alot of the time id have to wipe and re-load the system image.. do these cards and wattman recover automatically?

 

[Ungari]

LOOL

 

[Ungari]

I'm going to go back and start from the beginning now with the new driver and the update to Wattman.
I'm already seeing an increase in frames on the GTA V Benchmark due to the new driver.
