Sapphire sapphire RX480 video card experience

Card has been to two days, after two days of use, has basically been a bit of data, you can refer to together! Let's start with the appearance.

Look out of the box can go here



The positive appearance of the RX480 Platinum uses black and white, and is based on black. The reason is not to know why the official picture was taken out of the metal texture. In fact, it is a large piece of plastic. Although it is still good, the overall style continues the previous generation of ultra-platinum style. The ancestral gas stove!

side:

Power supply is 8PIN, the side of the heatsink exposed bare heat effectively, the main outlet.

Sapphire LOGO light on the side of the video card, with 6 lighting modes

Default Blu-ray

Rainbow effect

According to the temperature shows different amount of light, full load is red

Almost as above, controlled by fan speed

Closed, this is not a light

Customized by the user, although I will not get this


A total of five interfaces, 1.DVI-D, 2.DisplayPot1.4 2HDIM different from the original card This card does not support simple DVI to vga adapter, direct use of DVI-D, if your monitor is still VGA, then please buy with signal conversion!


Red light switch button, zoom in to see a small black switch, is to switch dual BIOS

Read the online dismantling, this thick thermal version, also suppressed the memory

Tested below

This is my configuration, last year's mainstream configuration

GPU-Z

You can see the core 1342MHZ memory 2000MHZ. 2304 stream processors, it is said that there is still a part of the audio, unfortunately. 256BIT memory bandwidth, with GDDR5, 8G memory, it is estimated that the next generation of cards will be on HBM2, support DX12

Power consumption test is not good under the table!

Standby

Fully loaded around 320W This is the overall power consumption, the above configuration can not see, I have 2 mechanical hard drives

Temperature test,

Standby is actually good,

40-45 degrees

Full use, because I am a small chassis, there is only a rear window fan, the temperature is 80 to 89 degrees, so the air duct is not recommended to this card

Running sub-tools:

Master Lu

3D Mark

FS

FSE 4K

TS DX12 benchmark

Steam VR

Game Test Resolution 1920X1080

GTA5

Just try to play, there are many cutscenes, anti-aliasing open to 8 probably in more than 40 frames, turn off anti-aliasing more than 100 to more than 70! Very process color is also beautiful! Forget the screenshot, leave this

Tomb Raider 10

Can be full effect, picture quality is quite good, this time the screenshot is not showing the number of frames under DX12

All of them are just playing, and many of the cutscenes are taught. They don't feel stuck. This average number of frames shouldn't be too much. Because they're not professional evaluation games, they're bought both.

At the end, you value friends, this card needs to pay attention to a few points, the first length, the official data is 24CM, but you do not think that iu chassis has a 25CM26CM is enough, at least 27, because the power supply in the tail, then select this card , can not choose the front there is no air intake, I use it down, this card two-thirds of the heat is discharged from the tail of ah, like my small chassis temperature is a bit too high!

Well, after fulfilling what I said in a box of drying materials, this evaluation has come to an end. I did not expect that the forum post will be so full. Thank you
