Today the long-awaited announcement from the company AMD: its division Radeon Technologies Group presented at Computex 2016 a new graphics card Radeon RX 480 on the basis of 14-nm chip Polaris 10 (Ellesmere). The device is equipped with a dual-slot cooler with a centrifugal fan and is about 27 cm in length (just board - ~ 19 cm).
It is worth noting that enthusiasts have long explored more or less the exact characteristics of this model. RX 480 received a 2304 stream processor Polaris, 256-bit memory bus and memory GDDR5 memory in the volume of 4 or 8 GB. Performance trends than 5 teraflops, and the power consumption is at a level of 150 watts. The frequencies of the core and memory Radeon RX 480, as well as data on the number of transistors and GPU area will be announced later.
reference design card is equipped with one 6-pin PCI-E Power, and is "invisible" interface XDMA CrossFire (used since the times of Radeon R9 290 / 290X) for the construction of multi ligaments.
Releasing Radeon RX 480, AMD expects to make Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 competition in DirectX 12 applications and VR. However, this will require two video cards based on Polaris 10 and good optimization of gaming applications, such as in the Ashes of the Singularity.
Announced RX 480 is scheduled for June 29. Card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory rated at $ 199 and a version with double the volume of RAM will cost $ 230.
