The Best RX 480 Available?

Tyler Yaccarino · Nov 5, 2016

Hi All:

What is the best RX 480 out currently that I can get? I have decided that I am going to do an RX 480 cross fire setup.

Thanks.

XFX GTR for sure, best caps and VRMs

How does that XFX compare to the

ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon Rx 480

Not sure on a part by part basis, you shouldn't have any issues with either though. These are the guys I watch for PCB quality videos, they haven't done one one the ASUS and I'm not gonna go out and buy one to find out

Why not just buy a gtx 1070?

Actually found the ASUS PCB layout, it doesn't support as much power flowing through it as the XFX but the XFX's VRM setup is overkill for a 480, the ASUS has more features like RGB and fan headers.

ASUS has a great ROG Strix 480 , normally I like Sapphire Nitro models but the 8gb model has a lot of reports of them getting loud when ramped up.

Make sure you get an 8GB version for crossfire 4K.
