MSI RX 470 Gaming X 8G Review

Dirt Rally is developed by British video game developer Codemasters using the in house Ego engine. Development began with a small team of individuals following the release of their 2012 video game Dirt: Showdown. Codemasters have emphasised a desire to create a simulation with Dirt Rally. They started by prototyping a handling model and creating tracks based on map data. The game employs a different physics model from previous titles, rebuilt from the ground up.

The MSI RX 470 Gaming X 8G is not a 4K gaming card, exactly like the 4GB version of the RX 470.

  1. I want to see an RX 480 XFire and MultiGPU review… Even an RX470 XFire review would be great… Zen should make it go fast…

    I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head, rx470 4gb, and rx480 8gb as the only choices would have made the whole thing better and clearer for everyone. Even their own sales!

  4. 8gb pointless on a 470
    wow thats just so wrong
    several games already take more than 4gb.
    what’s pointless is 4gb on a 480

    this is not about games, rx470 have weak muscles to carry out 8gb

  6. “this is not about games”? What do you mean with that?

    You essentially always pay for GPU power. A 8GB 470 might have too much VRAM, which is useless as worstcase, yet a 4GB 480 will have unspent GPU power when you have to reduce the textures cuz of VRAM. Increasing texture quality is only limited by VRAM and has no effect on the GPU-limited framerate.
    A surplus on VRAM is always better than a surplus of GPU power.

  7. Does anybody knows if this card really support 5 independent screens at once?
    Thanx in advance

  8. RX470 is actually have same design like RX480. I’ve the Sapphire Nitro RX470 8GB OC with default clock @1260 MHz that reach 5.1 TeraFlops which is same like the stock reference RX480.
