AMD's new architecture Polaris10 and Polaris11 are aimed at greatly improving the Wat Performance, which was the weakness of Radeon, and providing VR -possible GPU power at low cost.
Radeon RX 480 started selling at the price of the first half of 30,000 yen in Japan.If it is a single GPU configuration, the performance is equivalent to GTX 970 to GTX 980.
AMD will be over the GeForce GTX 1080 for $ 500 on the Polaris10 -based GPU first GPU "Radeon RX 480" (RX 480), if two RX 480s are prepared for $ 500 for $ 500.Was appealing.
AMD indicates that if two RX 480s are inserted, GTX 1080 can be transcended with less cost.
At the time of the previous review, only one RX 480 could be secured, so I could not test two pieces, but this time I was able to prepare two RX 480 reference cards, so I decided to verify the CROSSFIRE X operation.。
It is one romance of a self -made PC to exceed the upper card using multiple lower -ranking video cards.I would like to check if the RX 480 will embody such a gamer romance.
The Z170 mother is equipped with two RX 480.With the latest Radeon Software, CROSSFIRE X is enabled by default.The collaboration of two cards uses PCI Express, so there is no need for a dedicated bridge like GeForce.
Removal with an official driver
Let's introduce this verification environment.Basically, we use the same thing as when we reviewed the RX 480 last time, but we have prepared the GTX 1080 and 1070 Founders Edition as comparison.
Can the latest middle of Radeon have a performance that can defeat GeForce's high -end or quasi -end?Let's focus on.In the subsequent graphs, the two pieces are described as "RX 480 CF-X" (CF-X is the meaning of CROSSFIREX).
Also, the driver of the last RX 480 was "16" for reviewers..6.Although 2β was used, this time the WQHL version of β came out, so the RX 480 has re -acquired all the data using it.

GeFoECE GTX 1080 in Multi Display Adapter mode of DirectX12!
Let's look at the effects of RX 480 CF-X by comparing the score of "3DMark".The test uses "Fire Strike" and "Fire Strike Ultra".
"3DMark" score
Certainly, it was confirmed that the two -piece configuration of the RX 480 and the GTX 1080 could have almost the same performance.Since 3DMark is an app that is easily targeted for GPU manufacturers, it is certain that the RX 480 performance has been adjusted to the last minute.
From the results of 3DMark, the complaint of AMD seems to be correct.But what about the real game?First, try "Ashes of the Singularity" as a DirectX12 title that is completely optimized by Radeon.The image quality setting was tested in "EXTREME" and the benchmark mode was "GPU Focused".
In addition, this test is measured in the DirectX12 "MDA (Multi Display Adapter)" mode of DirectX12, which can be used by checking the "Enable Multiple GPUS" in the game.
Frame rate with 1920 x 1080 dots "ashes of the singularity"
Frame rate with "Ashes of the Singularity" 2560 x 1440 dots
"Ashes of the Singularity" 3840 x 2160 dots frame rate
Only the game that shows the usefulness of Mantle has a great performance in the two -piece environment of RX 480 only in the game that tries to flow the flow of "STAR SWARM STRESS TEST".
In 3DMark, it was at the level of winning or losing GTX 1080, but ashes of the singularity showed a performance that exceeded GTX 1080 under any conditions, proving that AMD's announcement was correct.
Depending on the compatibility with the engine and the optimization of RADEON, it can be said that it can be exceeded GTX 1080 in a two -piece environment of RX 480.
