Amd radeon rx 480 reaches 1.5 ghz on its gpu

The new AMD Polaris graphics cards promise a revolution in the prices of this hardware, even before its arrival on the market they have already forced Nvidia to lower the prices of its current Maxwell cards in the face of the great red threat that is coming upon them. We now know that the promising AMD Radeon RX 480 is capable of a 1.5 GHz frequency on its GPU to further enhance its performance. This new card from AMD has an approximate power consumption in 100W games so it boasts excellent efficiency.

AMD Radeon RX 480 shows remarkable overclocking ability in its reference model

The AMD Radeon RX 480 arrives in its reference version with a GPU speed of 1, 266 MHz, but this figure can be easily overclocked until reaching 1.4 GHz in a very easy way and without the need to increase the voltage. If this is not enough, the new card is capable of going up to 1.5 GHz with a slight increase in the voltage of its graphic core, a good dose of overclocking to get closer and even exceed the performance of the Radeon R9 Nano with its Fiji GPU and HBM memory.

The more advanced cards based on the Radeon RX 480 will include a 6-pin connector alongside another 8-pin connector to further enhance its overclocking capabilities and achieve excellent performance. If the reference model is capable of reaching 1.5 Ghz, custom cards should be able to go even further.

It is difficult to imagine a card with these characteristics for an official starting price of $ 199 in its 4 GB memory model, a figure that finally in Europe could be around 230 euros with taxes included, it is still a price Sensational for a card that threatens Nvidia and its current much more expensive graphics cards.
