The Polaris RX 480 Owners Thread.

Hi guys, I'm waiting for the RX 480 custom models to upgrade from my 280X, I recently bought an AOC G2770PF and would like to know the opinion of who are using freesync on RX 480. This make some huge diference on 144Hz monitors? I don't get much tearing on this monitor, most of time I can't see any of it even in 120Hz, the freesync will make a big difference in my case?

Only manages a 40mhz OC to 1370 core apparently, that's a bit uh.. crap for a custom cooler? :(

I've not used a AIB 480 so this is speculation on my part, but it looks as if (based on the screenshots linked in the Computer Base review) the voltage limit is the same as the reference card in Wattman. Maximum overclock speeds, depending on Asic and GPU quality, will be similar to the reference model. The maximum voltage available via Wattman is 1.150v, which is fairly conservative. Once people push past that voltage limit (either via a bios flash or third party software voltage control) the core clocks will go higher, temperature should not be an issue with these custom coolers.

That makes sense, I would've thought the reviewer bumped the voltage for OCing. Hope it's possible to get some nice clocks out of them by doing so.
 
on another note i got my refernce rx 480 on manual core set to 1080 on stage 6 and 7 and the memory is on manual as well at 0950 again.

and like before something causes it to spike on the vddc on gpuz my highest reading is actually a worrying 1.1750.

all i have done for the last 3 hours is play i am setuna.

here are the average readings.

is that normal for it too exceed what i set manually and is that high a vddc something to worry about? got an old gpuz pic from within a day or 2 from launch day and my vddc was hitting 1.1938 volts on stock, wowa is that normal?

pretty pointless when only two heatpipes touch the core. Typical Asus.

ah was aware one of the manufacturers had a bad rep for that, i just could not remember what one :)

aren't asus ones one of the more expensive ones as well?

think if i was going for a custom cooler one i would probably go for his or sapphire,

my old 270x his is still going strong with its ice q 2 or what ever it is cooler and its quiet, in my dads comp now after him struggling to get it to just fit lol :)

edit: happy with my rx480 reference 8 gig just a bit worried about the vddc on gpuz.

As expected the 1060 and 480 neck and neck (AIB vs AIB)
Some games favor one the others the other card.

The power consumption is a good surprise, it didn't skyrocketed even with OC stayed below the 970s power.

It's terrible in areas, considering amd promote their dynamic avfs.
Multimonitor, idle and video gpu decode are using considerable power at the moment.
I'm hoping this is a driver problem and not hardware problems.
