Hey everyone!

We're working on a follow-up for our above-linked RX 480 review! Today, we hope to put together an RX 480 4GB vs. 8GB comparison to determine if an extra 4GB is worth it. Once completed, we'll be working on an RX 480 CrossFire benchmark (actually, Mike is running the tests right now).

As a spoiler, we are seeing nearly 2x scaling in the first game we've tested, which is a lot more than we normally get out of multi-GPU configurations. Granted, some games are still an effective 0% scaling, but that's mostly true for post-FX intensive games. We'll have more on that in the article.

We also just bought a Vive (yes -- bought; ouch.) for VR benchmarking. I haven't cracked it open yet, but should begin working with it in the next week or so.

Thanks for your ongoing support!

- Steve.

AMD RX 480 8GB Review, Overclocking, & Exhaustive Benchmark | Gamers Nexus - Gaming PC Builds & Hardware Benchmarks

AMD's RX 480 launch introduces the Polaris architecture to the world, arranging an alliterative architecture assortment from both GPU vendors ( Pascal, if you're curious, is the other). This is AMD's answer to the largest market segment, shipping in 4GB and 8GB variants that are priced at $200 and $240, respectively.
