performance, power consumption, overclocking, dead silent
Each manufacturer designed their graphics cards for gaming and MSI is one of most active in this area. Their Gaming series offers very good cards and today I had the chance of testing the RX 480 Gaming X 8G.I liked the card and its performance. Also the c...
It feels like I have been waiting so long but I am happy to have finally tested a high quality board partner designed RX 480. The Gaming X 8G model does a good job of showing the RX 480 in the best light possible, something AMD's own reference card didn't...

It is amazing the versatility of modern GPU coolers. It wasn't that long ago that you had different cooler designs for the two main manufacturers, and not much further into history than that when even different GPU types had their own cooler. Nowadays you...
AMD really brought out a very good card with solid performance, low power use, and a great price to boot. The Polaris 10 architecture was never meant to compete with NVIDIA on the high-end front (saving that for Vega), and does a more than adequate job...

MSI's RX 480 Gaming X is what we were looking for when suggesting readers skip the reference model. So far this year, we've recommended against all the reference models from both nVidia and AMD – mostly for thermal reasons, as our extens...
The number of MSI Gaming series graphics cards we have tested lately is immense, so immense that we take for granted how good the cooling and design really is. MSI took the RX 480 GPU and improved on the design with a proper cooler, proper OC mode and ad...

When you look at the work MSI has done over the past several years to put the MSI Gaming brand out into the market, it is interesting to see that work bare fruit. Looking at the performance curve of the RX 480 Gaming X 8G, I found that the card does what...

Abstract: TL;DW: RX 480 amazing value for money, especially in DX12/Vulkan. GTX 1060 great DX 12 card, decent value too. GTX 980 is still fantastic, but it's likely worth going for a 1060 if you are buying new. GTX 1070 is obviously fastest, but sufficiently low va...
