Radeon RX 480: Virtual Reality for Everyone
One of the declared goals of AMD for the Radeon RX 480 is to make Virtual Reality (VR) accessible to as broad a range of players as possible. Based on the Polaris 10 GPU (previously referred to as "Ellesmere"), the Radeon RX 480 fulfills this goal and can combine VR capability with a comparatively low purchase price.
The ASUS Radeon RX 480 Dual O8G achieves a high boost rate of up to 1,305 MHz in normal gaming mode. The graphic card can change to "OC" mode via the GPU Tweak II software. The OC mode increases the maximum boost clock to 1,325 MHz. The storage clock is at 4,000 MHz (effectively 8,000 MHz). A semi-passive cooling design is used to cool the graphics card.
The ASUS Dual Fan Cooler design is based on a large, semi-passive dual fan cooler, which has the heat development of the factory overclocking of the ASUS Radeon RX 480 Dual O8G excellently under control. The patented Wing Blade fans provide maximum airflow with 105% more air pressure. Auto-Extreme technology with high-quality Super Allow II components ensures maximum reliability and top-notch premium quality.
14-nm FinFET and new GCN generation for the Radeon RX 480
The new, improved Graphics Core Next architecture (GCN 1.3) of the fourth generation introduces new features such as a command processor, a geometry processor, new multimedia cores, an optimized display engine and an improved memory controller. Other supported technologies include Async Compute, Vulkan, DirectX 12 and AMD's FreeSync technology.
The new 14-nm FinFET fabrication process, as well as large jumps in control, power savings and clock rate technologies make the Radeon RX 480 with a TDP of 150 watts very energy efficient, especially when compared with the previous models like the Radeon R9 390 (250 watt TDP). The 14-nm technology makes it possible to accommodate more transistors on a smaller surface, while at the same time lowering the energy requirement.
Monitors can be connected to the graphics card via three display port connectors and an HDMI connector. The EyeFinity technology allows you to connect up to four screens in a multi-display setup. The HDMI port in standard 2.0b transmits 4K / UHD resolution at 60 hertz and has HDCP 2.2 for sending and receiving encoded signals (4K-streaming, 4K-Blu-Rays).
In order to exploit the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers from AMD or ASUS should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
Graphics card exchange without waiting for Caseking!
During the warranty period of two years from the receipt of the goods, the customer complains that the graphics card complained about in the event of a defect of all the brands mentioned below is directly exchanged for new goods (if stored). A request of the defective goods to the manufacturer and associated longer waiting times are thus completely eliminated! If the graphic card to be replaced is no longer available or available, we will issue a credit note. Then an alternative graphics card from our range can be selected freely. Any extra costs incurred can be easily reimbursed and any remaining amounts will be refunded by us.
