The large Radeon RX480 test roundup (Update)

Introduction

We test all cards generally in closed housing and in completely warmed up condition to eliminate unfair differences in boost clock. For this purpose, all benchmarks generally run with six runs – the first of which always to reheat the respective map. We would also like to point out at this point that we have tested all the cards in the delivery state as they reach the end customer.

Benchmarks

The following galleries for each game each contain two tested resolutions that seem most realistic for the Radeon RX480. We focus on Full HD (1920×1080 pixels) and WHQD (2560 x 1440 pixels). The selection of the games includes titles that are equal to AMD or AMD Nvidia preference to include the full range of possible performance differences.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Intermediate conclusion

The benchmarks of the individual manufacturer models show once again that the already small clock differences between the cards lead to even smaller performance differences. It also impressively proves that the cards already operate so far above the sweetspot that the clock and performance no longer scale linearly with each other and the surcharge for the bit of extra power in the end is no longer in proportion to the increased power consumption.

In order to find the "best" Radeon RX 480 in itself, one should rather focus on the technical implementation of the power supply and cooling and less after the last FPS. Especially with the Radeon RX480, a little reason and restraint are usually more.
