Unless your running a willy wonka board from China then yes. But any decent PSU and mobo will power that with ease.

You can not beat a good Asus Rampage motherboard that loves lots of extra wattage.

Hi Kaap, congrats on your cards, just wondering why you didn't wait for custom cards? The stock cooler on these is supposed to be bad and only has 6 pin connector?

And, the same question to you actually. Why not wait until a custom board comes up? I know it's for a review, but, you waited for a custom 1080. Isn't only fair you wait for a custom 480 as well?

I wanted to see how they go in quadfire which means I had to use the reference cooler.

You can add me to the list!

Mixed feelings about this card though, seems to perform well at stock and can't really tell the difference from my old MSI 980 Gaming, but this card won't overclock at all (79% ASIC). The fan is also awful at higher speeds when the card heats up.

Would be interested in a custom cooler or kit to attach a AIO water cooler to be honest, this card would be a good contender for needing one!

3 x FX480s @stock running Firestrike Ultra and no motherboards were harmed in the process.

kapp im not up on benching, thats less than 700 quids worth of gpu, how does 480 tri fire stack up in the grand scale of things.

of course you do know your pc will explode when you add the 4th

That score totally destroys a GTX 1080 which costs about the same.

The downside is the above only applies if CF is supported.

Kaapstad · 5 Jul 2016 at 21:11

Not a bad Graphics score for 3 cards that cost the same as a single GTX 1080
