MSI RX 470 Gaming X 8G Review

3DMark is an essential tool used by millions of gamers, hundreds of hardware review sites and many of the world’s leading manufacturers to measure PC gaming performance.

Futuremark say “Use it to test your PC’s limits and measure the impact of overclocking and tweaking your system. Search our massive results database and see how your PC compares or just admire the graphics and wonder why all PC games don’t look this good.

To get more out of your PC, put 3DMark in your PC.”

As we would expect, the MSI card falls in just behind the Sapphire RX 470 Nitro+ OC solution.

  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.
