The AMD RX 480 8GB is great as it A: supports Vulkan – next gen API, and B: better supports Direct X 12 than a GTX 1060…e.g. Doom performs over 50% better on an RX 480 than its GTX 1060 counterpart (stock speeds). True value and performance – a winner.
The Radeon RX 480 is based on AMD’s Polaris architecture, and is the industry’s first 14nm FinFET process technology for discrete GPU, which empowers the card to operate efficiently and intelligently. It drives a low system power requirement to deliver cooler and quieter performance. The Radeon RX 480 graphics coupled with AMD LiquidVR technology delivers premium experiences on high-end VR games, entertainment and applications. Powered by the 4th generation graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture featuring asynchronous shaders and enhanced geometry engine, you can enjoy exceptionally smooth gameplay on the latest DirectX 12 , Vulkan and e-Sports titles.
AMD XConnect Technology
Plug in and game on with AMD XConnect technology.
Now it’s easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon™ graphics
card. With AMD XConnect™ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with
Radeon™ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultra thin
notebook or 2-in 1 over Thunderbolt™ 31 at any time, just like a USB flash
drive—a first for external GPUs!
Virtual Super Resolution
Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) is an AMD feature that is game and engine
agnostic to simulate Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing (SSAA) in games that do not
have native SSAA support. VSR can also be used in conjunction with other native
in-game anti-aliasing for even more game graphics-setting control. VSR allows
games to render at higher resolutions (up to 4K; see the ‘Virtual Super
Resolution Support’ table, below) and then rescales them down to a lower
native display resolution. Using this, you can get quality that rivals up to 4K,
even on a 1080p display while playing your favorite games.
HDR Ready
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is a state-of-the-art technology for gamers and
cinephiles that care deeply about the display quality of their TV or monitor.
Modeled after the acuity of human vision, HDR vastly expands the range of colors
and contrast ratios that can be shown by compatible displays. HDR-ready games
and movies played on an HDR display appear strikingly sharp, colorful, and
vivid, with enhanced contrast and sophisticated nuance compared to even the most
stunning SDR content.
Introducing AMD LiquidVR
LiquidVR™ is an AMD initiative dedicated to making VR as comfortable and
realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what’s known as
“presence” — a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or
characters within the virtual world seem “real.” Guided by close
collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVR™ uses
AMD’s GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and
pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to
less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common
discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in
a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a new
perspective to be shown.
AMD Freesync technology
No stuttering. No tearing. Just gaming.
AMD FreeSync™ technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to
dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing
or stuay.
Industry-Standard Displayport
Freesync uses industry-standard displayport Adaptive-Sync Eliminates screen
tearing without all the usual lag and latency
DirectX® 12
DirectX® 12 is a new, “console-like” graphics API from Microsoft® that
empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware.
This direct or “explicit” control better exposes the hardware resources of
AMD Radeon™ GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more
performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through
smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior
efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power
consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In
any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run
their favorite DirectX® 12 game.
AMD Eyefinity Technology
Multi-display technology for gaming, productivity and
entertainment
We are taking you beyond the boundaries of traditional PC displays. AMD
Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by
multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more
immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive (an
average of 42% more productive according to one study).
Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon™ graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Other combinations and configurations with up to six screens work too.1 Create your dream display.
AMD Crossfire™
Harness the power of multiple GPUs
AMD CrossFire™ technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming
platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire™ harnesses the power
of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically
improve gaming performance.1 AMD CrossFire™ technology ready graphics cards
fit practically every budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four
GPUs, AMD CrossFire™ technology is the perfect solution for those who demand
extreme performance.
