    Amazon Prime is a fantastic choice and I had both of my cards within ...
    I bought two of the XFX RX 480’s 8GB but ended up just going with one for my build and this is why.First of all, Amazon Prime is a fantastic choice and I had both of my cards within 24 hours of ordering so that was a huge help in completing my build in the time frame I had.First Impressions: Packaged very nicely, and was a good experience opening the box and taking off all the little port plugs and such, Heavy card, had a very good feel to it. Longer than I anticipated with a dual fan setup.Install was easy for 1 and for 2. Now This review is about 1 card so very quickly I will tell you my experience with Crossfire. First of all with Synthetic workloads it worked and great and was easily beating out even Nvidea’s GTX 1080. But a lot of games I play do not scale at all, CF support works in some and not in others. Had drivers crash at times. Overall the games that crossfire did work in, worked great but the games that it was either unsupported or just had poor scaling, it was a more pleasant experience to use one card than 2 at this current time.Now I will tell you what I liked and disliked about this XFX 8GB RX 480Pros:1.

I ended up have to cut the plastic cover with a Dremel to get it to fit.2. CF support is just not what it’s cracked up to be by AMD3. Does not do well with 1440p and 4k is garbage (But I expected that)4. No RGB LED’s or the XFX logo does not glow (Big Disappointment to me)Final Thoughts: This card is amazing for a quick upgrade for any 1080p Gamers and is subpar OK for 1440p gamers with 40-50FPS and do not even bother with 4k gaming. Personally, I love my card, great upgrade and with the extra $60 I saved, I was able to upgrade my lighting kit to make up for the lack of RGB’s although I really was hoping the XFC lit up like Nvidea’s did.UPDATE: RX 580 has been rumored, even though it really just looks like a higher clocked re-branded 480. If you are planning on upgrading to a 480, I might wait for a RX 580 but if you already have a RX 470 or a RX 480 then the upgrade really does not seem worth it to go to a 570 or a 580

    I upgraded from a Nvidia 960GTX to increase my FPS in GTA Online. Initially I was not that impressed, but I built a new computer and moved the same card and the performance was much better. I think I was being bottlenecked by my i5-3750 and 8gb Ram. I probably also did not have enough PCI-E lanes on my older motherboard.

    The card runs hot, so I added a 120mm case fan that's mounted in a way that it just blows across the card. This helps cool it, I think my old case that had terrible airflow was allowing the card to get too hot and causing it to throttle performance. All in all a great card, and the drivers are solid (no display issues or BSODs).

    2.0 out of 5 stars Half-baked solution to the great RX 480
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The RX 480 is great. AMD drivers and support is great, XFX support is great. The implementation of it all into this card? Not so great...

    First off all, read around. The RS is notorious for having a horrible cooler. I didn't mind it so much, as the computer is located in a well-ventilated room, and all is inside a very well-ventilated case, where I've had "hot cards" inside, with absolutely no problem. I was wrong. The card I got is a relatively high quality card (80% ASIC Quality, if you believe that). This cooler, even in this great scenario, was unable to keep the card from thermal throttling even at stock speeds, undervolted by 50mV, meaning that it did not run as intended without reaching 90C, while sounding like a jet plane. When I found that out, I didn't even bother overclocking, instead, I made the best accessory purchase you can make on a RX 480: I got an Arctic Accelero Mono Plus, and installed it. Card now won't go past 65C with fans running at 40% (which is ABSOLUTELY silent), which is insane.

    Now... the card will power throttle whenever it reaches 130W. The RX 480 is rated at 150W TDP. And that's with the power limit all the way to the max, which is.... only +20%. The card now runs marvelously at stock settings, even with a mild over clock of 12MHz (to reach 1300MHz), but that's about it. Again, this means that overclocking is very limited.

    I contacted XFX Support, which did try to find a solution that doesn't exist, as this is a BIOS issue on the card. There are no BIOS updates for this card to correct this under-configured power limit, so from their point of view, it works as intended.

    There is an unofficial way to go over this through a modded BIOS. As theoretically I already voided the warranty by changing the horrible cooler, I might give it a go. But here's my question: should I have to void the warranty of a product, for it to perform as intended?

    If you're looking for a RX480, look somewhere else. With these cards going down in price, you're very likely to find a working model for the same price. Heck, maybe even cheaper. I love XFX, but they really dropped the ball on the RX 4x0 series.

    Been building PCs for years but this is the first graphics card I've had to return. Tested it in both a new build and previous build with the same result -- constant crashing and freezes while under heavy load (i.e. gaming). To make it even worse, the fans themselves have an incredibly high pitched whine that is nearly unbearable. I don't fault the RX480 but I definitely will not be buying from XFX again.
