AMD RX 480 Fails PCI-E Specification

Even more rubbish and quoting this forum. The guy is a loon.
The 960 is tested in detail here:
www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Card...s-Radeon-RX-480/Evaluating-ASUS-GTX-960-Strix
Absolutely not the same issue as the RX480.
Hmmm... Who to believe. PCPer and Toms who have done testing with specialised equipment. Or a Youtube shill who constantly makes pro AMD videos...
Anyway, an update from PCPer:

PCPer have already torpedoed his uninformed claims. In addition a MB vendor they reached out to stated that the continuous high power draw over the PEG slot would cause failures in some boards.
Let me know if Youtube shill does his own testing, or just desperately flails around trying to discredit others informed working.
Caporegime
PCPer have their view he has his, the people who tested the board and approved it for public use also have theirs.
To me AdoredTV talk a lot more sense that PCPer and Toms Hardware.
Thats ignoring Toms Hardware result on the 950 Strix are completely different to PCPer's.

I would be shocked otherwise.
Can you link us up to where he does his own testing to counter the PCPer and Toms results, I'd very much like to see them.

His word is as good as that of Ryan Shrout.
The Toms Hardware slides he used are on the Internet. I linked the 750TI one earlier.
no

Well don't bother trying to convince me that i should take Ryan Shrout's word above his, thats not going to work.

As said he's an AMD shill, his bias is all over the youtube comments.
Caporegime
Call it what you like, stop trying.
Thats an easy accusation to throw around when you don't like what he says.
Errmmm did you watch the video???
I don't get the hate for this vid
He only uses information that is out out there, makes no assumptions outside of this is a storm in a tea cup that should blow over and uses good sources for his conclusions... Mostly Tom's.
Exactly as I see it
Until people start coming forward with genuine power/MB/PSU issues relating to the 480, then it a storm in a tea cup.

Your wasting your time ^^^
Unfortunately it seems he doesn't completely understand what he is seeing. He should have read the PCPer article a little more carefully:
It's a shame that AMD appear to have cut too many corners to hit a particular price point. The 480 should have been exactly what they needed right now, with Nvidia off chasing crazily priced cards right now, people are looking for something a little more affordable. This issue (real or not) is only going to harm the cards reputation.
They need to get AIB cards with 2x6 or 8pin connectors out as soon as possible. As well as (if they can) a software or BIOS fix that tells the card to use the 6pin if it needs to draw more power than the spec states. If they can get that done quick this should hopefully all blow over. (until the next time fanboys need forum ammunition
)

RX 480 owners reported in AMD forum that the card damaged, killed or fried PCI Express slot.

Oh well guess we will see lots of damaged motherboards after reports filled on AMD forum.

God AMD fanbois are really sad. See how they treat him when he posts pictures of his case? Not everyone can have a super fancy case, and maybe, just maybe, there's something wrong with the RX480. It could be something else causing the issue, however they'll never even entertain the fact that it could be an AMD card causing the problem. Pathetic.

I was about to post the Pcper link but I realised it's already been shared.
It seems clear to me that this is definitely an issue that needs addressing, because the kind of people who are going to go for the 480 are going to be those who Don't have £100+ motherboards and 80+ gold PSUs, they're likely to be people with budget parts and this could very well prove to be something that screws them over down the line.
I also read that AMD forum post, genuinely disheartened that everyone is just trying to downplay it and make the OP look stupid. How can you take the mick out of someone's case when they're buying a budget gaming card?

If you want to see the potential problems a 480 can cause watch the latest video by science studio. He was building a cheap AMD build around a 480 and when he tested his computer would turn off at the same point during testing games. He swapped the PSU nd the VGA to identity the problem which was identified as the 480 with the motherboard he ws using.
