The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 21c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider for 90 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 10 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.
MSI have opted for a less aggressive profile and temperatures peak around 71c when under the synthetic duress of the FurMark stress test. When gaming the card holds the temperature steady at 65c.
The fans only spin between 800 and 900 rpm under this synthetic load!
Without a backplate we measured some very high temperatures on the rear of the PCB, close to 100c. MSI take note.
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!
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
“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.
Does anybody knows if this card really support 5 independent screens at once?
Thanx in advance
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.
