Join us as we review the new Radeon RX 480, we test the model fitted with 8GB. It's a graphics card series that will allow you to play your games in both the Full HD 1080P range as well as gaming in WQHD (2560x1440) range. And all that at a very reasonable price as well. See, the 4 GB variant will start selling for $199 whereas the price will be $239 for today's tested 8 GB model.

First impression, not that bad for $200 - $250, that competes with 970/980.
Card price is where it supposed to be. No surprise magic in price or performance. Still a bit underwhelming, considering opponent cards are about to get 2 years old.

So... performance is between 970 and 980.
We have 970 for $239 and 980 for $549 (release price).

This is might be somewhat good GPU for HD resolution, but by far not enough if we talk 120/144 fps. So yeah 480 is an option for people who upgrade from ancient GPUs for HD monitor.

AMD have to stabilize shops prices asap according to "release price", so 480 will be picked before 970 and 980.
