MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X Caught on Camera

MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X Caught on Camera

The RX 480 has been for sale for over a week now, but surprisingly we have seen very little custom boards. As one of the first MSI has now released official photos of its Gaming X version, the Twin Frozr cooler VI looks identical to other cards with the same suffix.

In addition to the cooler, we also have a photo of the PCB which shows an 8-pin PEG power connector tied to a a 4 + 2 - phase VRM. Of course, the other side of the card covered with a black backplate. Display outputs are provided in the form of the standard three HDMI and DisplayPort outputs  though MSI there added an additional DVI connection.

It is expected the MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 8GB will be available at the end of July , along with custom models of the competition.

Well, it has worse VRM for the GPU than ref so I doubt it will do any better. Cooling is obviously better but I don't think that is the biggest problem. The chip is already running near its max.

Just by looking at those pictures, can you tell us how many Amperes are there for GPU?
Or at least what is rating of those VRMs?

I can say that PCB is bit too large and has way too much empty space. But I can't tell you if it has more stable power delivery than reference.

Depends on the mosfets used, the original ones are extremely overspecced for the card:

"We’d like to add one other short note. We’ve read here and there that AMD is using a much larger MOSFET than would be necessary on the low side (GPU side) with the MDU1511. The argument is that this results in massive overclocking potential.

This component is capable of handling up to 100A, which means that every phase could be pushed to extreme limits, beyond 100W.

The reason that AMD chose this particular MOSFET is probably completely different, though: it has a very low internal resistance of just 2.4 m***8486;. This minimizes loss in the power converters, resulting in both a cooler card and a lower power consumption. "

100A!

To me this MSI looks very "sexy".

Also, cards with better cooling do overclock better:

As the original cooler is, well, quite awful.
