Only 1 degree difference between reference and custom cooler? Extremely disappointing.
Reference 82C.
Custom cooler 81C.

Nice looking card. Very quiet, though I would like to see better cooling. Thank HH! 🙂

"Once the card reaches its maximum temperature threshold of 80 Degrees or another limiter, it will start throttling on the boost frequency as well as voltages and fan RPM."
Quiet or not reaching those 81 Degrees will enable the above quote extracted from the review. Most people will have their card in a case reaching higher temps than the 81 Degrees in the review (my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong).

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

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

theres already a bios update. they should test their amd gpus before release. my r9 380 g1 gaming took a couple of bios updates to work properly.

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.

Among custom RX480 I'd place XFX GTR as first, excellent overall cooling (also on phases) and quiet. MSI, at least in my country, is priced higher and does not offer much more.
Gigabyte lately is not doing so well with cooling, also on Nvidia cards and often has coil whine problems. Asus too not so good. Powercolor RX480 Devil has overall a good cooling but way too big and not so quiet (there is a video on youtube where Powercolor Devil is compared with XFX GTR and XFX wins in everything).
If I had to buy a RX480, I'd go XFX...
