AMD RX 480 PCB and GPU Photo Surface - Meet Ellismere
The launch of the AMD Radeon RX 480 is getting closer and closer. Today the firt photo surfaced of a (what seems to be) reference Radeon RX 480 with the cooler removed, and this the photo shows a glimpse of the PCB and GPU.
The product would be Polaris 10, based on the Ellismere architecture as spotted on NewEgg. The 14 nm FinFET+ process based Radeon RX 480 will perform above 5 TFLOPS. With it's 150 TDP it'll have 36 CUs x 64 shader processors per CU = 2304 Shader processors). The card will be available in both 4GB and 8GB versions and has 256-bit GDR5 memory at 256 GB/s (= 8 Gbps effective much like the GeForce GTX 1070). The card will run in the 1267 MHz range on it's boost clock. The card will start at 199 USD for the 4GB model. 8GB models will also become available. The product did not get a launch date.
Judging from the photo the reference PCB and this GPU and memory are powered with a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. You can see a 6-phase VRM power supply design. Monitor display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0a connectors. As you can see there are also traces on the PCB for a DVI connector, socustom-design AIB cards should implement it.
Small note, this could also be the Radeon RX 470, we are fairly certain that both cards will share the same PCB design as well as the same chip. Also I added a more close-up photo of the Radeon RX 460.

Hahahaha. Yes he hates you because you're Portuguese. Oh, thanks for that. Really made me laugh rofl.
Anyway, I have a crossover 2795qhd, it goes up to 110hz but I calibrated at 96. It's awesome. I'd have spent well over double if I had purchased a 1440p IPS, even at 60hz. These things are amazing. The stand sucks, but who cares. Shipped in two days from South Korea, paid 330 euros grand total including customs.
where the hell do you live?
Pyongyang??

No. He's raging AMD fan. And he thought you were dissing AMD for their driver overhead and for never implementing DX11 driver multi-threading. Obviously you were talking about AMD:
He's Dutch. Weren't the Dutch and the Portuguese enemies at some point in history, when they were both colonial powers? That explains it!

I'm actual Kim Jong Un. I told my ambassadors around the world to stop selling heroin and start selling gtx 1080s, more profit lololololololol. :p
I'm in Italy. Shipping was bloody impressive

I have received an infraction at Guru3D.com Forums by Don Illuminatti because of this:
I do not know why this person has something against me, I did not say anything more and not offend anyone.
Perhaps this person is a fanatic Nvidia and not like me to be Portuguese, maybe that.

Unfortunately there are people who support a company that does not want to evolve in the world of gaming industry and prefers to stay in DX11 forever and their consumers like.
