Radeon RX 480 first review appears. Although the NDA of the Radeon RX 480 ends tomorrow it has not prevented a Polish media from filtering the first review of the new graphics card from those of Sunnyvale. For testing a Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP has been used as a direct reference ! Omega overclocked at its core to 1, 304 Mhz.

Radeon RX 480 first review shows slightly lower performance than GeForce GTX 970

The tests Radeon RX 480 first review have been done using the Metro: Last Light Redux, The Witcher 3 and World of Tanks games so it has not been a very wide battery but it does allow us to know first-hand the performance of the new creation of AMD. The conclusions are very clear and that is that the Radeon RX 480 is located practically at the same level as a GeForce GTX 970 custom and factory overclocked. A situation that is repeated in all the tests, so the results are consistent and give us a very real idea of ​​what the new Polaris 10 GPU is capable of.

In this situation we have a Radeon RX 480 that offers great performance although perhaps somewhat lower than what was expected under the latest leaks. The best thing will be its aggressive price since the reference model will arrive with a starting price in its 4 GB version of memory of approximately 220-230 euros. For its part, the 8 GB version will cost about 260 euros, which is still an attractive figure but much less, more when the card will hardly be able to take advantage of its 8 GB due to the power of the core.

The arrival of the first custom cards with much more advanced heatsinks and a more powerful power system is also expected, with this we could see cards with much higher operating frequencies and a performance above the GeForce GTX 970. We must also bear in mind that the drivers are still very immature, so it is expected that there will be a noticeable improvement over time, especially when there is an architectural leap and if we take into account that historically AMD does not usually offer very debugged at startup.

We remind you that tomorrow the NDA of the Radeon RX 480 ends and we can offer you our own review first hand?
