I think for AMD fanboys it is clear that overclocking will always be a dream for AMD.
Never ever hype about AMD OC or stupid BS hype of Wccf. Never post it here.

peek here.
+100 mV on the GPU stock fan settings though. But it depends highly on ASIC quality ... have a zer0_c0ol

Nice review Hilbert!
Out of curiosity how does the devilish award stack up against the recommended award? π

Going by those results then this third-party 480 would with the 16.7.3 drivers actually perform above a Fury? Not bad if the changelog is accurate with the performance gains in that game. π
(EDIT: Well it generally never is I suppose, it's always "up to" I believe. π )

A gain of ~6 FPS at 1080, 4 FPS at 1440 and 2 FPS at 2160 would make it possibly squeeze just between the Fury's performance levels. π
(Granted it's only for a single game and it's taken AMD a while to optimize their drivers for said game but it's a nice first glimpse of what more mature drivers could potentially do for this GPU model.)
(And what Vega might be capable off as a more high-end 14nm model...we'll see when it's actually available though. π )

So... Does this card use a reference pcb with default power delivery as the reference cards ?
Oh btw, I agree with you HH, that's a David's star definitely π

@ Hilbert H. , nice review. Great job as always π.
No it does not , it uses an 8 Pin power connector plus superior 6+1 multi-phases where each phase supplies 25W instead of 22.5W found in other boards.

Thanks for the good review.
Hilbert, could you check if Anno 2025 is still don't use multithreading CPU, if in the system is a card GCN?

Nice to have Doom Vulkan!! Thx HH.
I will grab a 480 AIB in september...replacing my 7950

Thank you HH! π

In Doom, using Vulkan, you should have set Anti-aliasing to "TSAA8X" or "Off" in order to enable asynchronous compute, otherwise you get lower results than are possible with AMD cards.
Very impressed with this card and the silent cooling.

Yeah, I noticed that.
Makes it a pain for him though as all the OGL results are with SMAA.

Register just to ask this: Why didn't you use no AA or TSSAA in Doom w/ Vulkan. Thanks.
