Review: Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 GAMING 8GB

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/15/2016 02:57 PM | source: | 11 comment(s)

Gigabyte released a Radeon RX 480 of their own, the G1 GAMING model comes armed with 8GB graphics memory, and we review it. This WindForce 2X cooled mainstream graphics card series will allow you to play your games in both the Full HD 1080P range as well as in WQHD (2560x1440). And all that at a very attractive price.

still cant decide which card should I get gigabyte sapphire or msi, probably I will get gigabyte because of 3 year warranty :3eyes:

MSI also have 3 year warranty.

From all the review I see, MSI gets it right with this card. Not the highest clock (from box) but lowest temp (by far), come close by Strix Oc from Asus but Asus get highest price tag in my country.

Gigabyte and nitro+ has high temp which a little bit disappoint. But build quility of Nitro+ is top notch and great looking card imo.

Red devil one is good too but mediocre all around (long card with 3 fan cant keep up with 2 fan from MSI)

For me 480 custom card is rank up like this.
1. MSI Gaming X
2,3. Asus Strix OC = Sapphire Nitro+
4. Powercolor Red Devil
5. Gigabyte G.Gaming

Hey Hilbert, will you be able to get a sample of Sapphire's Nitro+ card? Really want to see how they fair up against the other cards you have reviewed/tested.

Thanks

I realized 1 thing:

You have benchmarks up against the GTX 1060, without explaining which variant you are showing benches for. Sadly the versions are not just different on VRAM, but also their CUDA count is also different.
