Asus ROG Strix Radeon RX 480 OC

[Tarinder]

Hexus is paid by Nvidia, that is why they use the old driver for Tomb Raider that runs ALL AMD cards like trash, when the new patch ups their performance by over 20% percent across the board, so AMD cards become as fast as the competition.

They also run several of the games in DX11 when DX12 is available and still run the terrible and old openGL driver, when Vulkan is available.

They also don't test games like Dota 2 in Vulkan and Assasins Creed games who use newer technology for rendering of their games.

If only that were true, I could then retire.

How is this for a little apperitf for an upcoming review:

RX 480 getting within touching distance of GTX 1070 under Vulkan.

AMD easily besting Nvidia in DX12 Hitman:

Thanks Tarinder. Look forward to the review tomorrow. Should hopefully get my card next week so last chance for me to cancel but based on those sneak peaks I don't need to worry

As others have stated, I thibk the Saphire Nitro + represents the best investment for this card (especially the 8gb versio) as the performance it gives for the price point it is at seems unreal from what I've seen.

As I said in a previous thread, given the performance it also seems that 4k gaming would be very viable on a crossfire set-up, using 8gb cards.
