The new Radeon RX 480 has been announced at Computex 2016 in Taipei with specifications that make it suitable for enjoying virtual reality at a very affordable price.

The Radeon RX 480 arrives

The Radeon RX 480 mounts an Ellesmere (Polaris 10) GPU manufactured in 14nm consisting of a total of 36 Compute Units totaling 2, 304 stream processors at a frequency of 1, 200 MHz. The GPU is accompanied by 4 GB or 8 GB, since there will be two versions, of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 256 GB / s. All this with a TDP of only 150W that allows the reference model to work with a single 6-pin power connector. The Radeon RX 480 features DisplayPort 1.3 video outputs with HDR support.

Speaking of its performance, the Radeon RX 480 offers features that fall between the GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980, so two crossfire units are capable of outperforming the GeForce GTX 1080 under DirectX 12.

The Radeon RX 480 will arrive with a starting price of only $ 199, making it the cheapest option prepared for virtual reality. According to Raja Koduri, there are 1.43 billion computers in the world and only 1% meet the requirements of virtual reality, while 84% assemble graphics cards at a cost between 100 and 300 dollars. With these numbers we understand that the RX 480 is targeting the segment with the highest sales volume on the market.
