AMD Radeon RX 480 OC Capability and Radeon Wattman Detailed

We have some proficient new leaks coming in from our friends over at Videocardz who accept establish out some decent information regarding the upcoming Radeon RX 480 overclocking tool and overclocking capabilities of the RX 480 graphics bill of fare. The overclocking tool was mentioned by us a few weeks ago and is information technology turns out, the overclock utility is a revised version of the AMD Overdrive software which is already part of the Crimson and even the old Catalyst drivers.

More Radeon RX 480 Data Leaks Out - Overclocking Tool and Capabilities Revealed

UPDATE - CrossFire Results, Temperature and Ability Testing

Update: A video from a Thai retailer has leaked out who was showcasing the performance and features of the Radeon RX 480 graphics card. The video provides the states a skillful wait at the operation in 3DMark with the printing drivers along with the Radeon WattMan tool. The stability of the card has some issues as it crashed in 3D mark even at default clocks due to which the benchmark had to be run again. The retailer was using a Crossfire setup of the Radeon RX 480 and the whole video of the demonstration can exist seen below:

Update: Aside from the benchmarks, yous can also find the power consumption of the card at overclocked speed in the picture below. At 1328 MHz, the card runs at 88C (Degrees) and has a power consumption close to 147W when beingness fully utilized under gaming or benchmarking load. Other functioning tests have showed that usual gaming power consumption will be around 115-120W.

AMD Radeon RX 480 GPU-Z:

The Radeon WattMan software was detailed yesterday and is a very sleek tool for overclocking the bill of fare without the need to install an additional software. The utility will be role of the Radeon drivers allowing you to adapt a range of settings such every bit GPU voltage/core configuration, memory voltage/core configuration, fan/temperature targets.

The Radeon RX series will have day ane support with the latest Radeon software on 29th June so yous will exist able to play around with the utility yourself in a few days. The overclocking utility will besides exist supported by all other Radeon graphics cards that are supported past new drivers. Talking specifically about the RX 480 overclock capabilities, we mentioned that the card will stick close to around 1.35 GHz in our previous postal service and reviewers seem to ostend that.

A fellow member of the PCGamesHardware hardware testing team stated in their forums that their Radeon RX 480 crashed as soon as it was overclocked to 1.four GHz. We have been hearing reports of the card having great OC capabilities just factual results seem to signal otherwise. The bill of fare was kept in a absurd ambient environment of 24C (Degrees) so temperature should non be a factor affecting the overclock. The card was a reference model which in thermal testing kept the bill of fare effectually 70C which is normal for current generation cards. The maximum overclock we have seen at the moment is 1380 MHz just if someone tin can manage a ameliorate overclock, we would know then in a few days.

The Radeon RX 480 in general is a carte that has been priced at a sweet spot to carter gamers on a budget with smooth 1440P and VR-Gear up performance. We have seen some gaming performance and you can encounter some of the 3DMark operation numbers for reference, overclocked and crossfire'd Radeon RX 480 cards below.

AMD Radeon RX 480 Stock, Overclocked and CrossFire 3DMark Numbers

Videocardz has been on a hunting spree when it comes to 3DMark numbers and they manged to gather over 300 entries of the Radeon RX 480 graphics card from Futuremark's database. The Radeon RX 480 will exist based on the full Polaris 10 GPU which features 2304 unified shaders based on the GCN 4.0 architecture. The Radeon RX 480 comes with 144 Texture Mapping Units and 32 ROPs which evangelize a texture fill rate of 182.3 GTexel/s and Pixel Fillrate of 40.5 GPixel/due south at a clock speed of 1266.0 MHz.

The RX 480 graphics menu volition be available in two variants, a iv GB model with a toll of $199 United states and a eight GB model with a price of $229 US. The GDDR5 retentivity on both variants will be clocked at viii GB/s (2.0 GHz clock), effectively delivering a cumulative bandwidth of 256 GB/due south forth a 256-bit interface. Based on the 14nm Finfet engineering science, the graphics card features a 150W TDP and powered by a single 6-Pin connector. Display outputs for the RX 480 include 3 DP 1.4 and a single HDMI 2.0b port.

On boilerplate, the 3DMark results testify that the proceeds from Radeon RX 480 overclocking is effectually 14% which is decent enough for a reference card. There's no telling how much a non-reference card would overclock that features a better PCB compared to reference. There are also several Crossfire benchmarks which reveal upward to near perfect (2x) increase in performance. Since this is a synthetic benchmark which has been tuned for multi gpu setups, we are looking at such good results however games don't necessarily show the same level of GPU scaling.

The overclocked results reveal that higher temperature or voltage beyond 1.35 GHz limit the card on their clock speeds. Near of the overclocked results show same or lower performance than the ones benched at reference clocks (1266 MHz). So you either need improve cooling or a good sample that doesn't feed on voltage much to let the card maintain its bodily clock speed. You can see a very detailed nautical chart for these results at Videocardz. Bated from 3DMark, the compute performance has also been revealed by Compubench.

Co-ordinate to reports, the Radeon RX 480 has really expert supplies on every retailer effectually the globe. The $199 starting price volition make the card a existent hit among the masses who want to savor smashing gaming performance for a low price.
