Customers highly value the performance and affordability of the Hard Swap Edition AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card, frequently citing significant performance improvements and a competitive price point. Many also praise the card's quiet cooling system and ease of installation. While some users found the LED lighting too bright, the overall experience with graphics quality and frame rates in various games was overwhelmingly positive.
Ok first of all I was an early adopter and I own a Reference RX480 if you do not know what that means it simply means an early first batch AMD made version of the card. This version made by XFX and powered by AMD takes the reference card and builds off it to make a new card sometimes a complete redesign but overall the same card, this card stays WAY cooler sometimes the fans do not even need to spinup. the Quick Change fans are sweet, and running 2 of them in Crossfire is amazing also. I highly Recommend this to anyone looking for amazing performance on a budget or a card that can do VR on a budget.

This particular GPU was a moments notice purchase for me. I had got my new PSU and custom cables in that matched my NZXT elite black/red and during the build I felt that the GTX 760 I had just wasnt suited to sit in this PC anymore. So I went to my local best buy and voila! I had been researching and viewing benchmarks and the new GTX and AMD line up for a few months and was ultimately torn between the GTX 1060 from EVGA or an XFX RX 480. I wasnt able to make a decision until I noticed that newegg had the XRX RX 480 RS 8GB on sale for $209, coincidentally that was on the same day I was working on my PC build. So I called my local BB and asked if they would match the sales price, sure enough they did. What was nice about this card from BB is that it came with the white led fans where as the one on newegg did not, so there was a immediate freebe for me. The card is far superior to the GTX 760 I had sitting in my PC and I noticed a massive bump in FPS in a majority of my games. id say this card is very much worth the money spent on it and has me itching fora second once I get my ryzen machine built.

This GPU is excellent. Catch it on sale and it's waaaaaay better! It runs games like Black Desert Online at 60fps on max settings. Has ran every game I've thrown at without any temperature issues. CPUZ has had a temp of 70* Celsius under a full load. Usually, it sits around 53-60* Celsius. Honestly, doesn't need an overclock, but you can. XFX has been making gpu cards of high quality for years now. The reason I purchased it was because of XFX. Pair this with an intel 6500k or higher and you will have a nice gaming beast. I run a 6700k and they get along great! The LEDs are super bright! Gorgeous card... fans aren't too loud and they only run when the card is being used. At idle, they don't move!
