Radeon RX 480 supports virtual reality at a starting price of $ 200

AMD is moving the company in the recent period to produce variants of the graphics processor cards markets with lower pricing and specifications of the highest support for the user, the card Radeon RX 480 is the latest version of AMD supports virtual reality by good performance with reasonable pricing technique starts from $ 200.

Often starts graphics processor card with a good performance in the virtual reality of the $ 350 pricing technology, but AMD has a new version of a competitor in the markets in the graphics processor Radeon RX 480, unveiled for the first time at the Computex exhibition in the past month card.

Offering AMD company two models of graphics processor RX 480 card, where the first model features a random memory of 8 GB RAM at a price of $ 239, while the second model comes with Ashoaah 4 GB Ram and the price of $ 200 memory, with little difference in performance between both models, however, AMD asserts that the distinctive performance in games with both models but the user may wish to perform better with the model 8 GB RAM to ensure good performance with games that need to be stronger specifications.

Design and specifications of the card RX 480

Also come card graphics processor RX 480 simple and elegant design compared to the earlier version of the company AMD in the mammoth card R9 Fury X, featuring the RX 480 black box with some holes and fan and one in the foreground stylish design, as the graphics processor RX 480 card on architectural Polaris from AMD it was designed as a sort of 14nm FinFET 3D transistor, which supports smaller design that characterized the previous version 28nm design.

It also offers small architecture Size Polaris strong performance and more efficient in energy consumption in the RX card 480, also supports architectural break the speed of the graphics processor for up to 1120 MHz with a boost up with the speed to 1266 MHz, as smoothly installed RX Card 480 system through a PCI Express slot and then connect them with additional connectors for power through the cable 6-pin PSU.

Performance of the RX 480 in card games

The graphics processor 480 RX Card distinctive random memory 8 GB Ram with 4K screen test, which has been linked to the graphics processor card screen via DisplayPort port from three ports on the card, and motherboard ASUS Z97-A with an Intel Core i7-4790K processor speeds 4 GHz, 16 GB memory in DDR3 RAM speeds 2400 MHz, and the memory of 512 GB in Crucial MX100 SSD.

In this test the performance of the RX 480 was able to record the performance of up to half performance graphics processor card GTX 1080, a special performance due to the pricing of Nvidia GTX processor 1080 card of up to $ 600, also managed RX 480 to achieve faster performance of the graphics processor card GTX 970 from NVIDIA which fetch up to $ 300 and is also higher than the price of AMD card.

Although the specification RX 480 card may not compare with the card GTX 1080 or R9 Fury X in 4K games, but tests confirmed that it offers performance comparable to card competition, also presented RX card 480 uneven performance in the clarity of 1440-pixel resolution at the highest settings, but they has been able to up to 60 frames per second to experiment with different games, so it may not reach the clarity characteristic of the card GTX 1080 4K resolution, but will enjoy the experience of games smoother performance, with support for changing the settings, also submitted RX graphics processor card 480 good performance Games with precision and clarity of 1080p.

RX480 is also able to provide performance mimics the graphics processor card GTX 1080 with the clarity of 1440 pixel resolution with maximum settings for tuning in graphics, where the performance of the RX480 graphics processor card at 60 frames shown per second often, providing graphics processor card with a new version of the game Doom performance from 55 to 60 frames per second, also with a game Witcher 3 was able to graphics processor card up to 43 frames per second it is also a reasonable performance with this version of the game.

Graphics processor card RX480 performance in virtual reality

In the performance of the graphics processor card RX480 in virtual reality, able to achieve consistent performance without retreating card speed performance, in games such as Eve Valkyrie or Farlands, nor did they reveal a performance that might affect the player nauseous or a problem with virtual reality technology, which confirms the AMD's statements in the graphics processor card that they already support this technology.

We can also expect that the graphics processor card RX480 model with random memory of 4 GB Ram may also arrive in good performance with virtual reality technology, so it may be up to 90 frames per second at 1200 accuracy and clarity in 1080p.

Provision is also the degree of temperature record card graphics processor RX 480 up to 35c, while reaching 69c in games and tests benchmark, as the fan comes mostly quiet performance without noise, but with the rise in temperature in the gaming fan noise is definitely increased, which produces small size high volume in Graphics processor card compared to large-sized fans that come in many versions of the graphics processor card.

So in the end, the graphics processor card Radeon RX 480 from AMD can be compared together my card GTX 1080 and 1070, but it is characterized by higher performance of any graphics processor card at this reasonable pricing, where versions came last year to price higher and less performance, so you will have this year that only decide between you better form in the graphics processor Radeon RX 480 4 or 8 in the random memory card, but with a choice for you in the end, AMD has provided what it promised in with reasonable pricing of graphics processor performance supports virtual reality in the Radeon RX card technology 480.
