that rx480 on full load sounds like a server room now lmfao
Pastechi Yup. The reference 480 actually sounds pretty normal at 50% but once you crank it up to 100% it's like having a leaf blower in your PC. It moves a crazy amount of air at 100% too
Only ever owned 1 reference cooler card(EVGA 680). It drove me nuts, wanted to take a hammer to it. Never again.
this is why you dont test on a work bench . you test in case . server room is the case and you wont here the fans
All systems clear, rx 480 ready for takeoff.
already imagining F-14 tomcat with 480's as engines xd
I'm gonna buy one of these so that i have a backup hair dryer in case I lose mine somewhere.
You do realize the reference 1070 runs over 80C as well right?
Nope, that happens only when fans set to auto AND you are overclocking, but even if it did it's with 50% more performance plus the same power consumption.
Αναστάσης Σαφράς
Nope, that's at stock, it thermal throttles at stock above 80C. And nope, it draws more than the 480 overall. www.anandtech.com/show/10446/the-amd-radeon-rx-480-preview/6
Son37Lumiere At Hardware Unboxed videos for the 480 and many others, the power consumption is the same ,and even if it's 5-10watt difference the 1070 eats 480 for breakfast, as for temperatures the Nvidia goes for less noise it thermal throttles if you want it to remain silent.
Αναστάσης Σαφράς
Look again, 37 watts lower and while numbers vary between reviews Anandtech is the most trustworthy and reliable.
According to your data, the RX 480 has similar noise levels to the gtx 980, 1070 and 1080, and similar temps, around 80-83C. So why is it some people say the RX 480 runs loud or hot? That's just bullshit since they never complaint about such things about the NV cards.
This is AMD's best reference cooler for a long time actually.
the 1080 runs at similar temps to the RX 480, but the 1070 runs significantly cooler. Add in the fact that the RX 480 uses almost exactly as much power as the 1070 despite being a lower performing card and you might see why people are disappointed.
TheGatesofLogic x So it's not as good as a 1070. It's also half the price. If people are upset over that, they are expecting too much for a cheap card.
Yak It reflects poor efficiency on the part of AMDs new architecture and GlobalFoundry's 14 nm process in comparison to nvidia's new architecture and TSMC's 16 nm process. People were expecting the card to be far more efficient than it actually is.
@Fellow accelerationist what the fuck the engineer put the voltage super high. why we all of us become engineer to under volt the damn gpu fucktard card. we should fired the amd gpu engineer instead. fucking hell
Love the editting on this video.
Looks like a lot of fun was had :D
Especially when he switches the cards out (9:00). that was hilarious!
the 1070 fan is bigger so it will spin slower, 480 fan is smaller.
is it bad I always run all fans on 100% BC I have great headphones and never hear anything and the temps are great
dude dude I am subscribing to your channel for one reason because not only did you do benchmarking but you did sound testing and thermals and everything I mean you're not like Tek syndicate or Linus Tech or Jay's two cents you actually took the damn time to do a full review on that lunch card thanks bro
"I can't even close it... what... WHAT?!" Made me laugh 👍🏻😂
Heyyo, hahaha Steve Burke at 5:50 showing off how AMD's TressFX works. :P
Are you at a airport!!?? Dam that's loud
Wouldn't it make more sense to measure them at the same RPMs? In my belief, that would have been a little more "subjective". I haven't seen or heard any of them getting anywhere near max speed. Even in PaulsHardware maximum overclock I believe he only had to set his fan at 60% to maintain decent temps. I'm not sure what the point of this test is, or even making a video over it.
good test it's always the pitch of the sound that bugs me I don't mind noise but the higher pitched whine that some make is so distracting and I don't mean electrical component whine,
RX480 disappointed me. I was hoping it would atleast beat a r9 390 on nearly everything.
It was mean't for Mid range
The 390 is high end
I could find a used 2 months old MSI 8GB gaming r390 (with 2 year guarantee) for $60 less than a new rx480 8GB so yeah, I'll probably go with that.
0:25 "...the fan at 100%, you should never have it there".
The thing is. If you bought a blower GPU and plus, live in a tropical country, you should consider this. I use mine at 92% while gaming for years since I bought it. There's no gain in speed above it, it's the actual "100%". The higher volume of air let almost no dust acumulate and keeps everything cool. I don't mind the air noise, I kind like to see it at full. Its not a stressful noise. I can resume that I just fall in love for blower GPUs. Both the classic sober design some of these has and the exhaust function.
You deserve so much more subs! Great content. Better than the bigger UA-camrs out there.
Best Tech channel on UA-cam hands down, I really appreciate all of the in depth data and information that goes into your videos, keep up the good work guys!
Side note: That RX 480 sounds like a hair dryer, and runs as hot as one also LOL
is the ref. worth and the power draw is it fixed or not? Because i don t know to buy the ref rx 480 8gb or sapphire/MSI rx 470 8gb?? Can sb help (i m from germany the prices are around 260-280€) thx
One of the most important issues in today's gaming computers is to transfer the heat of the entire case, just in the case is packed with a lot of electronic components and is small, on the outside. You can avoid the noise with open air solutions (open inside the case, but not on the external room) but in that case all the other electronic components including the graphic card will suffer the heat, reducing the lifetime of your entire desktop.
I just got a PowerColor reference RX480 and its fan has an annoying "mechanical motor" sound to it, its a much louder secondary sound characteristic then the primary fan blowing sound(noticeable as low as 1k RPM). I was wondering, is there any aftermarket "stock" fans available that I could replace it with? - does it happen to be same fan used in reference 7xxx series? I don't want to send the card back over this, its an excellent undervolt/overclock card.
Every video card review should have the photo shoot test.
Nice, but the video took too long to get to the point. An abridged version just showing the noise at 100%, 50% / auto, and idle would've been better, and maybe a quick comparison to the 1060 or 1070.
I also wondered about the font change and how that meeting would go.
great review and testing.
so do these fans automatically go high/full speed when the gpu is on really high load? I got an RX 480 8gb and was caught off-guard by the noise. (played fallout 4 ultra non-stop)
Steve, I think I know what your project with the 480 is going to be...the RX 480 crossfire hair dryer.
So In Sli is a cross fire configuration (meaning both organized with ample spacing) This would be quiet enough for gaming channels? i mean my 1050 ti SC is not loud to even compare
Don't recall who's video i see earlier but the temps were insane on the 480, 80°c - 90°c were seen with a 1% OC and a crash if i recall, very vague info tbh. Will see what you show and tell us Steve
The review is up already! Check the channel for OC results. 1% sounds ... exceptionally low. Like, within normal boost tolerances low. We were able to do a ~+74MHz offset from reference boost.
Gamers Nexus And that's why the majority of tech channels on UA-cam i unsubscribe from either they lie to get subs or binge on information they've only read and not put the time in, my comment obviously reflects the info i see hence why it was vague haha.
Probabily Tech of Tomorrow's ""Review"" ?
Pavel Rizzo It could've been, so many came out at identical times.
+Dinxsy I think you're talking about tech of tomorrow cause I watched his and thats what happened
It took me way too long to stumble upon this channel. It's the best pc gaming channel on UA-cam.
"and were at the beautiful resolution of . . . whatever this is O.o" lol that made me laugh :D it is such a lovely way to describe such a low default res lol priceless moment
why don't you use a passive cooler for the cpu and a psu like the rm1000i?
just answer one think plzz. is the 480 worth while I am in a budget? yes or no
yes I used it uhh 100 fps at most games maxed out
Cool!
noise is a huge factor for me. my family doesn't want to hear something that loud if I'm playing a game. that's just too much.... I always go with custom water cooling for that reason.
I need help, my RX 480s fan dosent even move. 0 rpm on the program. any ideas?
return it from where u bought it..... thats the easiest suggestion!
Yes, after some testing it seems the fan its not working. i should returned for a new one. but thats not really an option for me since im from latin america and that would probably cost me more than i paid for it. so i ordered one of those coolling systems for GPU. the cards works fine its just the fan thats damage.
thats good!!
Have you guys considered doing a sound test bench with a fanless PSU and heatsink? Not sure if the price would be worth the data, though.
I'm surprised no one has done a fan speed/temperature profile while doing all of these fan noise and temperature "reviews".
Every channel has it out to show that these cards will sit at whatever temperatures you've recorded them to run at, but as they are out of the box.
So no tinkering with a custom fan profile will help thermals?
The RX 480 has performance closer to the reference GTX 970 than the cards you tested. How does the noise of the 480 and 970 compare?
woow gtx1070 founder edition is massive actually. Didnt expect that
REFERENCE yeah its noisy anyway ill wait for msi rx 480 gaming x version thx for review
why even wait for MSI or other aftermarket cards when the 1080 TI will be out for about $900 and Crush everything
coz not everyone is rich thats one of the reason why people go on console instead coz of that highend mentality "why spend money on high end card if u can buy a console for less" lol
+Elie Geremillo dude really you're buy an Xbox One over a $700 pimped out computer that's retarded the console is dead it's for teenagers grow up and use a keyboard and mouse I guess you like little kids on the microphone when you're playing Halo
+Elie Geremillo
Hehehheheheheheheheh my mommy says I have to go to dinner now but I can play later Hey kid I'm like 30 years old that's okay you got a console you're great you play with a controller great try that shit with a keyboard and mouse that's a real men play with
ur argument is invalid no sense troll lol
just curious what could be the decibel level of RX 480 @ 4000 RPM ;) would it be lower than 57 ?!?!
Hey what is your motherboard ?
I'd love a noise test to be done with the AIB RX 480s. Then we can figure out which is the quietest cooler.
Miss, you'r review is gut.
Crossfire ?? can you corssfire 2 x 480 compared to 1070 / 1080 ?
I'm sure you'll be able to Crossfire but remember certain games only support SLI or Crossfire why is everyone forgetting about this if your game does not support SLI or Crossfire 2 cards 3 cards or 4 cards won't do shit
Matlockization
yes, i'm interested if they can fix #powergate
I'm not sure if I should buy one of these. I want free sync with my new 144hz monitor, but I'm hearing these things run at 80+ degrees, and a lot people are experiencing crashes like crazy. I have a 1060 3gb but might sell it to my brother if I get one of these.
eugkra33 Get a 1070 lol
Hi Steve. Do you ever get your hair caught in the computer peripherals?
this was great, thanks alot.
Team Green:
GTX 1080 Ti = SLI 980 Ti = $749
GTX 1080 > Titan X = $600
GTX 1070 > Titan X = $379
GTX 1060 > 980 = $249/$300
GTX 1050 > 970 = $159 to $199
Team Red:
RX 490x = Titan X = $449 to $499
RX 490 = GTX 980 = $299 to $349
RX 480 = GTX 970 = $199/$$239
RX 470 = GTX 960 = $149 to $169
RX 460 = GTX 950 = $99 to $129
/When I think of graphics card quality Nvidia is a Lamborghini and AMD is a Honda Civic
480 does better that the 980 in some games as well. Just look up the benchmarks for the games you like and choose from there. I think amd has better dx12 support.
Can we also get a sound comparison at 4000 rpm for each card? Considering this is the max on the Nvidia side.
You could have cracked open the GPU cooler and spliced the fan into a PWM fan controller to isolate the system noise if you wanted your results to 1% more representative of just the card noise. ;-)
Still going with the gtx 1070
Does the card normally sound like a hair dryer?
great video dude :)
My rx 480 was in 4000 rpm!! is crazy? o is normal? help pls
you are awesome.
getting one
Gamer Nexus rocks =D
i have one and the coil whine is driving me insane. the fan isn't loud but the whine is.
I love that all the software mucking got left in lol
Hey AMD gayfan if you can read this lol
1 Slower than a 970
2 Running at 91 C when overclocked
3 More expensive than a 970
XD
And oh. Is already out this is not " assumptions "
In other words your little AMD lied to you.
1 rx 480 is not faster than a 980
2 CF rx 480 is not faster than nvidia 1080
3 The card is a hot potato running at 91 C
oh and %1.6 overclock causes the card to go to hell . Literally go to hell with
91 C
BTW after rebate you can get a 970 for $240 . Same price that the rx 480 is on newegg with better performance. Not running like a hot potato and better drivers
3.5GB Vram cough cough
And YET faster than 8GB with 14 nm cough cough
Same as a 970, faster in newer games and better in VR.
Aftermarket coolers will solve high temps.
A LOT cheaper than a 970 as of this moment.
Shit troll. Obvious lieing.
Ummm AMD said it was faster than a 1080 in CF
So if 1080 is faster than 2 980 on SLI then the rx 480 should be faster than 2 980 SLI?
480 came out 1 years and 9 months after 970... cough cough... took so long to copy 970 with 14nm fab...
the radeon logo on mine pulsates.
ive had reference r9 290, loud as hell, so i cut out a square hole on the plastic covering the heatsink, i ve added a cpu cooler to the heatsink surface to increase heat dissipation, and voila card fan no longer needed to go 50% to keep the card under 93 C.... it would go up to 35%.... which was manageable... just barely xd ( i would guess somewhere about 35-40 dB)
"classic photo shoot" lol
The rx 480 fr sounds like a vaccume cleaner
so amd built another hairdryer?? low wattage hair dryer ??
This is nothing compared to the 290x. Sounded like a Jet flew 10 feet over my house, when i turned the fan on 100% my parents thought a water pipe exploded...
can you guys do a 100% fan speed load test
Mike Majestic af ;-)
the photo shoot lmao
6:22 HAA! My Card Is Off The Chart! xD
Is this where all hype ex 480 goes?
those fanboy always make everything mess up. AMD delivered what they said (1% less but ok those)
Lol no.In earlier AMD somehow manage to leak some benchmark that crossfire 480 beat 1080. Lel, classic AMD.
When every tech utuber reviewd pascal, people be like "enough with pascal, where is new red and shit(while rx 480 was not even close in the corner)", but i aint going with that hype train. I gues im right
I will back to red team sometimes
It does beat the 1080 in certain games.
Uuuh.. How about no?
Yahtadi Shidiq
Uh, yes.
lol "I wonder why they changed their font? How does that meeting go?"
so loud
as loud as the reference r9 290
4:43
top kek
Its a fucking Jet :D
Beautiful hair.
5:50. LMFAO
1:28 get rid of what trash software? Gaming evolved?
i belive it was meant as a general statement in trash as "additional" software other than drivers :P
i have one of these and i can confirm its a piece of trash, from fan noise to thermal throttling and ridicilous temperatures.
get a fanless psu and a fanless CPU cooler
Just get a psu with eco mode
+Matlockization YES
Well this was fairly useless.
who cares abou noise show us gaming please
Agreed. I don't care about the noise of a budget cooler on a budget gpu. lame review.
+Rex Tilton then why did you click on a video titled as "sound comparison"
+Abdullah Sheheween it doesn't say "sound comparison" lol.
+Rex Tilton fan noise and rpm test and comparison*
Still the video is about noise and not a review
+Abdullah Sheheween so the title should "sound comparison"
I'm a bit disappointed.... in this card
why ?
First
this was basically a crap on ati video.
