Radeon RX 480: Virtual Reality for Everyone

The PowerColor Radeon RX 480 Red Dragon has a dual fan cooler, which allows this RX 480 to be driven at a strong boost rate of 1,266 MHz. The RX 480 Red Dragon has a slightly cooling backplate on the back of the board to stabilize the board and evenly distribute the contact pressure of the cooler.

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.
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, an HDMI connector or a DVI-D 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 PowerColor should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
