Powercolor radeon rx 480 red devil in pictures

The arrival of the custom Radeon RX 480 is approaching, so we are already seeing the images of the first models. The Sapphire Nitro was the first to be shown on camera and now it's the turn of the PowerColor Radeon RX 480 Red Devil with an impressive heatsink assisted by three fans for great cooling.

PowerColor Radeon RX 480 Red Devil main features

The new PowerColor Radeon RX 480 Red Devil uses an advanced heatsink consisting of an aluminum finned radiator that is traversed by various copper heatpipes to absorb the heat generated by the Ellesmere core and distribute it over the entire radiator surface. Three fans are responsible for generating the airflow necessary to keep GPU, VRM, and GDDR5 memory chips at bay.

On the card we find a Polaris 10 XT Ellesmere GPU consisting of a total of 36 Compute Units totaling 2304 Processors Shaders, 144 TMUs and 32 ROPs at a maximum operating frequency of 1, 350 MHz although it could easily exceed 1.4 GHz with manual overclock. The GPU is accompanied by a total of 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 256 GB to offer very high performance along with AMD's Delta Color Compression technology.

The PowerColor Radeon RX 480 Red Devil uses a custom PCB that takes power through an 8-pin connector to achieve greater overclocking capacity than the reference card and better operational stability. Another feature that differentiates this PCB from the reference one is the inclusion of a DVI port that is not present on the AMD card despite the fact that the GPU supports this interface.

The new PowerColor card will be made official on July 14 with the rest of the Radeon RX 480 custom.
