AMD's RX 480 will cost $199

AMD has just announced their new RX 480 GPU, a budget friendly GPU that packs quite a lot of performance for its mere £199 price tag.

This GPU is designed to give PC gamers a lot of value out of their hard earned dollars and give them the ability to run VR applications without breaking the bank.

The AMD RX 480 will feature an R9 Fury X inspired cooler design which utilises a traditional blower cooler design, but should offer cool and quiet operation with an ultra low TDP and huge GPU efficiency gains.

This new GPU will come with a minimum of 4GB of VRAM, with 8GB in the high end, giving this GPU not just enough memory for today's games but enough for the next few years, offering FreeSync support and full DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 compatibility.

In terms of raw GPU power, this GPU will have around 5.5 TFLOPS of GPU performance, making this GPU perfect for VR gaming.

This GPU offers efficiency gains from using the new 14nm processing node but also through key optimisation in AMD's new Polaris Architecture, making this GPU 2.8x more efficient than previous generation AMD hardware.

AMD has also stated that moving forward that they want to make Crossfire much more usable, getting modern games to scale well and to offer consumers great value for money with Radeon GPUs.

At the show, AMD was able to show dual RX 480 GPUs running at faster speeds than a Nvidia GTX 1080, while coming in at $200 less.

You can join the discussion on AMD's Polaris Based RX 480 GPU on the OC3D Forums.
