AMD Radeon RX 480: New Leaks and Rumors You Should Know About

 

Some new and exciting RX 480 rumors surfaced online. From the new XFX RX 480 cards, to the RX 480 Arkham Knight benchmark scores, we gathered them all in one place, just for you.

Firstly, let’s talk about the XFX cards. XFX will offer two OC versions of AMD Radeon RX 480. Both will feature reference cooler; the first one, named Black Edition OC (RX-480M8BBA6) will run at 1328MHz, 62MHz above referent clock, and will come with one DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter. The second one will run “just” 22MHz above referent clock, at 1288MHz, and will probably be called XFX Black Edition model (RX-480M8BFA6). A couple of pictures of the second model can be seen below.

When talking about VR capability, gasoline got a score of 6.8 with base clock, and a score of 7 with a modest overclock (1315MHz) making the card officially VR-Ready. It’s interesting that AMD stated that AMD Radeon RX 480 got a score of 6.3, meaning that gasoline got a significantly higher score, even when running the card at a base clock.
