This is a great video by Roman which explains how to get the most out of the reference cards. The vrm on these cards are actually very strong with 6 phases that can draw 40A at 125c. 

 

stable in fs at 1600 mhz, but the card doesnt have a good cold bug at all and this may be fixed with an ln2 bios later on. 

Rig Specs:

AMD Threadripper 5990WX@4.8Ghz

Asus Zenith III Extreme

Asrock OC Formula 7970XTX Quadfire

G.Skill Ripheartout X OC 7000Mhz C28 DDR5 4X16GB

Because people who buy a $240 GPU will spend $200-300 more on a full water cooler loop...

Wow interesting.... So it looks like perhaps a strong air cooler on a well binned rx 480 with a lot of phases could perhaps mean 1500 MHz overclocks..... Which perhaps means stock 980/390x performance from an OC 480...... Awesome!

 

i still don't believe those 1600mhz claims, but now that I've seen this contrary to what I previously thought 1500 is feasible....

This is what I was looking for. I'll pick up an AIB card that can do 1400 hopefully

I'm really excited to see what AIB 480s will be able to do. With some improved power delivery and cooling they might come halfway to fulfilling the hype.

Hey, its AMD's first 14nm GPU, of course people are going to put water blocks on them and see how well they overclock (note, about as well as 28nm Maxwell V2 does on air).

They're probably watercooled with a full block. 

 

I think 1600mhz might be possible. But that's definitely not gonna be an everyday OC.

That's not what I mean. Ofc there will be people who do that, mostly reviewer or just want to test smt new. But this is definitely not something the average user that this card aim at will ever do, so the result of this if anything is only the hard limit of what the 480 can do, since air cooled GPU can never hope to get this much OC/temp for sure.

The thing is, HardOCP chief editor said that multiple AIBs have confirmed OCing cards 1480-1600, depending on lottery. If that is true, and they sort out the volting issue, it's possible on air. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

"If". I remain skeptical until I actually see a card OCed to 1500+ on air

Here's hoping for some decent voltage control from AMD.  I guess a bios tool will have to be enough.

Oh baby

If a partner does a binning process and starts selling chips based on this, how much money might they make from people just wanting a chip that can do 1550 on air?

Anything over 1400 is just gravy.  The value is in it's mid range performance.

It's a huge if. I'd be happy with stable <1500 with no power and cooling issues. I'm optimistic and skeptical at the same moment.

Who knows. Iirc Sapphire Nitro which will run at max ~1317 is supposed to cost 20 euros more than the reference. I'm expecting the really heavy OCd cards to costs quite a lot. Too much to be honest. That's my speculation

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

I think I'm gonna wait for the second revision of Polaris 10: the RX 485. I think then we'll see even higher overclocks than we see now. :P

From his 3DMark graphic score of 15.3k, that is definitely past average overclocked 390x performance and entering aftermarket 980 territory.

The same guy that spread

  1. "Polaris can not reach 850MHz"
  2. "Polaris delayed to october"
  3. "Polaris is very hot"
  4. "Polaris stack is about to collapse"

before RX-480 release? Yeah i take his word with a truckload of salt.

Just pointing out that even with the die shrink the clock speeds haven't increased that much over what was previously possible. And the price difference isn't like that all outisde of the US. http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts/video-cards

 

Also, an MSI 390X is bloody cheaper than the 480, so in Australia at least the RX 480 is bloody pointless and AMD really dropped the ball again.
