Most are fine except Gigabyte, I heard they have major thermal issues with the 480.

- Asus RX480 Strix OC

- XFX RX480 Black GTR

 

Those are the best RX480´s based on pcb and vrm analytics.

The Devil edition has VRMs that'll burn out when stressing with furmark.

It's the best performer once you don't run furmark lol but that's happening also due to it's weaker PCB design comparing to the other cards.

Nah, it's just the componentry used in the VRMs. The rest of the PCB is fine. How is it the best performer?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrwObTfqv8u1KO7Fgk-FXHQ watch some of his vids... the pcb design is crappy comparing to there AIB's. Sorry meant to say it's one of the best performers once you aren't running furmark. Think it has the highest clocks out of the box.

Yeah I know who Buildzoid is, but I though he only said the VRMs were crap. Also, you can just overclock all of them to be equal :P

Nah in his analysis he said the design was crap comparing to the other cards and I would OC them but not everyone knows how to OC even with all the step by step guides.
