hi i decided to burn some money, and replaced my replacement arctic fans (drilled onto the shroud) with noctua fans (this time mounted with zips onto the heatsink). some titles torture my gpu with on my ultrawide, so i thought a fan on the heatsink with bigger static pressure might cool down 5 degrees. or just let me run at a lower rpm. the results? unimpressive. ive been testing my fan placements recently, and have some over ambient data (ill upload them as well later). the temps are about the same. the noise is kind of the same. if i cant hear the difference, no point measuring it. the most disappointing thing is the subtle whine/tone pule when the fans run above 70%. it is really low level, but since im in a quiet room these noise pulses are noticeable. like when a "laser goes back and forth, just as a quiet sound instead" if it makes any sense. this was the same reason i did the 1st mod with the arctic fans. the stock fans were terrible the tone pulse was noticeable at 19%. then on a diffrent day it was noticeable at 18%. so i was watching youtube, then that thing started to make noise cause why not. using 0 rpm was not an option, because it would heat up anyway sooner or later, and the fan startup noise was annoying too. so what do you think? how could i improve my temps? would putting the fans on the shroud help? its a lot of hassle with zip ties, so i did this post. now i set it at 1490MHz instead of the stock 1560, and reduced the voltage a bit as well. kombuster with cpu burner made it to 79 with acceptable noise levels. playing no mans sky uncapped put it at 75, with only 1300 rpm. thanks!

Will the Rage mode OC feature come to Polaris GPUs like the RX 580/570/560 or is it RDNA 2 exclusive? I'm hoping that since it's a software level feature, it should be supported.

So I decided to pick up skyrim se and tried it on my rx480 build and had terrible performance at 1080p usually under 40fps. it turns out that disabling the Vsync in the games ini file fixed it and gives me a stable 60fps. I had to obviously cap the fps and i did so using amds radeon software. Now I'm getting notable screen tearing which is really killing me inside so here's my decision. 1. Just deal with it and enjoy great performance. 2. Enable the ingame vsync and cry at terrible performance. 3. Buy a freesync monitor? What do you guys think? Either that or I'm having a different issue and can't find a fix.

Should Buy the RX 480 now or is the new RX 500 series getting launched soon and i should wait for that?

I thought I'd post this spreadsheet of what I think this year's graphics card line-up is going. Yes, I know I've included last year's cards in this chart. And yes, I know this is pure speculation and is just me getting my hopes up. But hey, I made it and I might as well show someone.

I have an old desktop with a 4gb ram with core i3 3220 @3.3ghz on board. I was planning to upgrade this pc. I am thinking to add an i7 3770k and rx480 8gb or an evga gtx 1070 sc only. this pc only for transition only, I am planning build an working station after 1 and a half year, may I have some suggestion? thanks

With the new AMD Polaris refresh cards dropping a few hours ago, the midrange debate between NVidia and AMD has sparked again. The numbers and FPS gains are out there, so today I wanted to compare the PLATFORMS of the GTX 1000 series and the RX 500 series. Before these new AMD cards dropped I was going to definitely buy a 1060 6GB in the next few weeks, but now I would like to here some people's opinions about the cards (not raw performance and numbers, but about the platform, software, etc). One thing that I read about when I was looking for a card TWO generations ago was that AMD's OpenGL driver implementation was horrible. People reported that in the particular OpenGL title I was looking to play, cards like the 380 and 290 had unplayable frame rates at the lowest setting, while cards like the 750ti and 950 could easily play the game. Has this changed at all? (OpenGL game is X-Plane 10 {now 11} by the way)

In addition to the new stack of Polaris Refresh cards that AMD has just released, they are also going to push out yet another Polaris Card for lower power consumption and targeting the mobile notebook market. This new card is going to sit just below the RX 550 (thus it will be the RX 540). From the TechReport (http://techreport.com/news/31764/radeon-rx-540-offers-a-tiny-slice-of-polaris-power-to-notebooks): It is good to note that this is being targeted at lower power and lower end notebook market to provide something better than the onboard graphics on most mobile CPUs so I would expect this to be for something like a notebook used to stream Youtube or maybe play some less graphics intensive games on the go... Definitely not going to be competing with the $3000 beasts of laptops with dual 1080 SLI. Would anyone actually be interested in one of these in a notebook or a low power PC?

The Maxwell microarchitecture, the successor to Kepler microarchitecture, for the first time features an integrated ARM CPU of its own.[6] This makes Maxwell GPUs more independent from the main CPU, according to Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.[7] Nvidia expected three major things from the Maxwell architecture: improved graphics capabilities, simplified programming, and better energy-efficiency compared to the GeForce 700 Series and GeForce 600 Series [8] Okay if Nvidia could slap in a ARM CPU in their GPUs why could AMD not do the same with Polaris, or even use a x86/64 one?

I just sold my current graphics card and I was searching online for another graphics card. The issue is that it looks like most rx 570's and rx 580's are sold out or are way above msrp. I was looking into getting a polaris card but at this point, I am seriously considering just getting a gtx 1060.

Sauce: https://videocardz.com/68450/amd-radeon-rx-500-series-official-specifications-and-performance-leaked UPDATED: The RX500 was launched today by AMD. It's an AIB-only launch, meaning no stock cooler or reference design by AMD (like the 390(X) launch). The reference pictures found on AMD's slides were there just to have something to show on the slides (although I kinda do want that design for a card. It looks very nice). The reviews can be found all over the place, but here are a few: Linus's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWqF5fDAZqA Gamer's Nexus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIpOx8YUXuU Paul's Hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omvmPBSOLtg&feature=youtu.be Some written reviews: http://www.anandtech.com/show/11278/amd-radeon-rx-580-rx-570-review https://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/04/18/amd_radeon_rx_580_powercolor_red_devil_golden_sample https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/RX_580_Nitro_Plus/ https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Radeon-RX-580-8GB-Review-Polaris-Populism Original article: We have the RX580: Then the RX570: The comes the RX560, the full fat P11 chip: And finally the RX550, an 8CU/512SP card designed as the entry level card to replace people's iGPUs: The entire lineup, with what it seems includes some way better reference designs and no more blower coolers: So yeah. If you have the previous RX4xx lineup there's pretty much no reason to upgrade. But if you have an older card this is a great time for a RX series card. AMD made good use of the year it had refining their 14 nm process which should result in better overclocks all around the lineup. No pricing yet, but expect them to be pretty much the same as the previous cards (after the launch day price gauging of course). edit fixed title typo

AMD announces a new Radeon Pro Duo based on two Polaris 10 GPUs... and it's not watercooled! full link: https://videocardz.com/press-release/amd-announces-new-radeon-pro-duo-with-two-polaris-10-gpus AMD's statement: But let's get to the specs first: Now for the price & launch date: At least it's cheaper than its precedessor which was around 1500$ I believe? Personal opinion: So AMD decided to release a new Radeon Pro Duo card, this time featuring two Polaris 10 chips instead of two Fiji XT ones... I don't fully understand that because I expected the next Pro Duo to be Vega-based... I mean, two Polaris 10 chips are just slower than two Fiji XT chips...

Even the "basic" Macbook Pro's base offering is even more expensive than last year's base Macbook Pro. Granted, it contains double the storage, but even then the "basic" Macbook Pro costs the same as last year. That's not even mentioning the "fancy" Macbook Pros, which cost a few hundred dollars more than last years. Still though, there's some cool new features in the new 2016 models that should be mentioned. We're getting a new thinner and lighter Macbook Pro this year, that also has some other changes. Among this is a bigger trackpad, a butterfly switch keyboard (basically the same as the one on the Macbook), and Thunderbolt 3 ports on the side. The only I/O on this year's Macbook Pros is Thunderbolt 3 and a headphone jack. This offers a huge amount of bandwidth and the ports can be used for charging, too, but this also means a lot of your peripherals will need adapters now. We also get upgraded internals, in the form of Skylake, Polaris GPUs on the 15" Macbook Pro, and a new, faster SSD. As well, it has been said that the new displays have "variable refresh rate," so it'll be interesting if the new Macs come with freesync. OLED Touch Bar The new Macs also have the largely rumored OLED Touch Bar on the top above the keyboard. The bar is only present on the more expensive "fancy" Macbook Pros, and replaces the function keys. The program running can change what's displayed on the bar which gives many different things that can be done with it. This is pretty cool IMO, and how much it can really be used in the real world will remain to be seen. Touch ID Also rumored and true, the new Macs have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the side of the OLED Bar. It's a physical button that also functions as the power button. This seems cool, as signing in will be a lot simpler. That's pretty much everything we know about the new Macs. We didn't get a new Macbook Air or Macbook; the "basic" Macbook Pro is supposed to replace the Air (though I'm not sure how that'll work if it's around 50% more expensive). They seem pretty cool and have a lot of cool features though the price is pretty expensive. What are your thoughts? I personally find them as really cool, neat laptops, but the price really ruins it. Note: I have a feeling someone's gonna come and be like "Repost!" No, it's not a repost. There are no posts about the new Macbook Pros in this sub-forum, only ones about the live event, which is different.

Im confused between the RX 480 4gb and the RX 470 8gb. Both are the same price in my country(MSI Gaming X versions).

Finally, AMD has announced an addition to their other 2 Polaris based embedded lineup, the E9170. TLDR; E9550 = RX 580, E9260 = A little less than a RX 560, E9170 = RX 550. Of course, these are much lower clocked than desktop variants, but also have ridiculously low power usage. The brand new E9170 is listed as having power consumption of "Up to 50 watts", although most variants use 35 watts. The E9170 will come in all 3 major form factors: MXM (Common in laptops), MCM (IC chip), and PCIe (Common in desktops). The target market for these embedded systems are things like Casino games, Medical displays, Multi-display advertising, Etc. This new E9170 will be produced for the next 7 years, until 2024, which means this is a huge opportunity for AMD to gain long-term, recurring revenue. Videos: Opinion: This is where Polaris really shines, and IMHO this is more important than the desktop Polaris variants. Polaris is ridiculously efficient, but the best chips have always been reserved for embedded, with the more power hungry versions going to desktop. I remember seeing this in a jayzTwoCents video pointing this out, I will add it once I find it. EDIT: I added the jayzTwoCents vid (in the video spoiler) outlining how power consumption on better binned Polaris is simply stunning.

It would appear that AMD fully realizes that GPU Mining is a profitable business for selling their products and has added a GPU Workload toggle as well as support for up to 12 Polaris or Vega based RX cards on Windows 10 in compute tasks in the newest ReLive Edition 17.10.2. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11959/amd-releases-radeon-software-crimson-relive-edition-17102 One thing to note is that there appear to still be bugs in this as they list two major bugs dealing with the Compute and Multi-GPU setups. First is that the system may hang up when switching to Compute mode while Crossfire is enabled and the second (which would be more major for miners) is that after an extended period of 12x GPU compute workload use, the system may hang. So who has their twelve RX 480s and/or 580s stashed away just waiting for official support?

So I want to upgrade my GTX 750ti to an AMD gpu. I found out that the sapphire edition of both of these cards have similar price, and I was wondering which one to get? or I should just wait for Vega to come?

Hi (I'm sorry if a thread like this exists). I'm looking at purchasing a new GPU for my computer to upgrade my 960 (not soon-ish, within the next 6 months-year). I saw the RX 480 as a really good budget GPU, but comparing it to something like a 1060/1070/1080, I'm not sure, or even against a 980Ti. If you could tell me which is better, or by how much, that would be amazing. Thanks, Alpha.

Soooo apparently, some sapphire cards have some sort of mounting pressure problems. This means that after a certain thermal paste replacement ( two or three times ? Mines 3 and my friend's two ) the card mounting pressure is screwed up and it made the card overheat increasingly, eventually death by overheat arrives. I'd love to have a clear insight about what went wrong but I don't have a lot of sapphire cards at disposal. By far here are some of the examples that I have discovered. Exhibit A ( My RX560 ) : I was having a quite good temp ( high 50 to mid 60 ) with the stock stuff. After my decision to replace the thermal paste the card hit 72 instantly and slowly rose to oblivion. My method of application: X, star, youtuber pattern, pea, line basically anything imaginable and the amount vary from too much to just enough. I've spent total of 20$ in thermal paste which is mx4, kryonaut. Exhibit B ( my friends RX570 ) : My friend was having a decent 74°C with same story and his card reached high 80s while he had spent the same amount of thermal paste as I did and he used the same mx4 and kryonaut and the only diffrence is he applied enough to cover the die which is quite excessive as to people standard. Tl;dr: seems like some sapphire polaris cards have issue with temperature after thermal paste replacement and it seems like it has something to do with pressure

Hi everyone! Let me share something I have been noticing for the last 3-4 hours: I was stubbornly (?) trying to beat #1 Time Spy for i5-2400 + RX 580 systems. I was obviously going to try by overclocking the sh*t out of my GPU. Well, after like 30 runs of Time Spy I gave up due to thermal throttling (it was pointless to try this today since it's a sunny 36 °C day) and poor memory overclocking: even with 1200 mV on the memory controller I only managed to get to 2025 MHz and it wasn't even fully stable (memory voltage was set in WattMan); keep in mind that I was achieving 1480 MHz with a core offset of +40 mV. So I went to Afterburner to wipe my overclock and reapply my original settings: -200 mV and 1300 MHz on the core. Then I tried, just for the sake of it, to overclock my VRAM again: now it sits stable at 2250 MHz at stock voltage (950 mV). So my question is: how GPU overclocking can have an impact on VRAM overclocking? Was it a thermal issue, was it due to VRM design or something else? Have you ever experienced something similar?

Hi, first post here. I recently acquired a MSI Rx 580 V1 to upgrade my father’s personal computer. He he has a Dell Optiplex MT with an i7 3770 16gb of 1600mhz ram and a Seasonic 500w psu The 580 is giving me issues booting as it quickly flashes green then heads to a blank black screen where I can do nothing. I have the latest drivers, the latest Bios, the Radeon software installed, the 580 is set as the default display in the bios, all physical connections secured. The card shows up in the bios and in the Radeon software when I’m using the intel hd display but can not get the card to boot. The card is getting power because the fan is spinning. Any ideas on the issue or is the gpu just dead?

Computer Type: Custom made Desktop GPU: RX 480 4GB Sapphire Nitro (the one with the 8pin on the side) CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.9 GHz Motherboard: Asus P8P67 EVo RAM: Kingston 2x4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz PSU: Deepcool DA600 600W 80 plus Bronze Operating System & Version: Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64 GPU Drivers: 19.5.2 Chipset Drivers: N/A Background Applications: Steam, CPUCores, OverdriveNTool Description of Original Problem: The GPU (another RX 480 i got for free) is undervolted and underclocked (currently running 1265 MHz @ 1070 mV with 1850 MHz memory clock, going lower than that voltage causes unstability). After roughly 30 minutes the GPU driver crashes and the temperature is as high as 79c (that was using the original 1326MHz clock on a 1072 mV profile). Yesterday, the GPU was going up to 86c and the fans wont turn on (Afterburner was on the background so i had to force the fans to turn on). Temperatures go down really fast if you close the game (thermal paste was changed about 1 month ago, using a 1 year old MX4 tube). Not all the games have this problem (God Eater 3 maxed out peaks at 60c) and it wont happen always, but i'm afraid that the card is possibly dying. I was trying to play Attack on Titan 2, the game worked great until some fight, where after i finished the fight the driver crashed (major FPS drops were ocurring when dust appeared). Also ,i had an old gtx 970 with an arctic accelero twin turbo ii (he changed it because the 970 started malfunctioning) and the performance isn't quite as expected (compared to what i've seen on comparative videos). Sometimes after waking the PC from sleep and trying to apply any undervolt, the GPU would show square artifacts, the driver crashes and is all back to normal. Troubleshooting: Repasted the GPU, turned the undervolt off (works like a charm but temperatures are really high, like 80c). I'm a newbie on all of this undervolt, and i'm worried since i've read that people have gone far lower on voltage and they are running their cards flawlessly.

I'm in the market for a used rx 580, should I get a 4gb or 8gb. The 4gb is usually $20-$40 less than the 8gb models. It the price difference worth it?
