Review: MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X
Join us as we review the MSI Radeon RX 480 GAMING X, we test the model fitted with 8GB graphics memory (there is a 4GB model as well).

And all that at a rather reasonable price of roughly 269 USD.

Very sad that it has less OC, and less efficient.
That is why never over hype product.
Let's not look into past. Yes, AMD messed up 480 promotion big time.
Still its not a bad card, and MSI X series deliver 480 with temperature and noises at bay.

Nice review,thanks.
And yeah you need to test in Vulkan without AA or TSSAA 8x for Async Compute.Or you can do without AA in every DX 12 games,for testing purpose only.
A really good implementation of RX 480 from MSI.
The drivers will be better and better with newer games,and the performance will be much higher.
Prediction for 1600 MHz on air?Who says that,some users or click-bite sites?
Official I dont see coming from Amd.
Read my post again. I said, "The AMD users however were predicting 1070 performance or more with 1600Mhz OC on air."
I'm not going to name names as I'm not trying to start a flame war. Just pointing out that some AMD users are doing more to hurt AMD than help.

Great review with the following observation:
AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB and 8GB (high-end performance)
AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB and 8GB (mainstream performance)
AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB/4GB (entry level)
This should be edited to this:
AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB and 8GB (mainstream performance)
AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB and 8GB (value performance)
AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB/4GB (entry level)
AMD has yet to release its high-end performance card for this gen.

AMD didn't over hype this product as much as the Fiji at least. The AMD users however were predicting 1070 performance or more with 1600Mhz OC on air.
It's getting to the point the overly faithful AMD base are hurting the brand.
Yep, the AMD zealots did surprisingly large amount of damage.
It's nice to see that MSI's cooler works just as well with RX 480 than on GTX 1060/1070/1080. Their cooler performs excellently.
