I think the 480 RX's power input configuration is a failure. It should use the 8 pin power input like the Nano.

After what I've been reading, I'm inclined to agree with this.

I'm considering returning the 4 I purchased and waiting for the Sapphire Nitro as it has an 8-pin connector.

Bad news

It is still 6 pin. I was excited but we have to wait for AMD to fix the drivers or for Saphire to fix the card completely

In the next few days, we will see the reduction of network hash rate as the new 480 RX will burn may motherboards and PSU.

Got all my rig with powered usb risers. Works like a charm. No overheating wires/ burned connecters or other stuff. But the stock coolers sucks horrible balls. I guess i will move my rig to the garage and turn the fans to 100%. 60% coolers with 81 temp in open rig is not nice at all. 24.8 mh/s stock hash rate by the way.

Do you use the 6 USB risers coming out of 2 PSU cables, or 3 USB per power cable? That is almost the limit of each cable.

looking the picture...
i see lots of cooling problems and broken fans coming.
desing is so closed and only one fan?
those cant run at 100% speed very long time, bearings will kick out of the fan.

Can someone help. Got 6 AMD Sapphire RX 480 . And don't know how to tune it. When using their Strixx tune it says 0core clock, 0 fan speed 0 0 0 temp e.t.c.
When using Asus tune up 2 - it shows correct clocks, speed and fans, but i can't change anything except fan speen. How to tune at saphire card the Memory speed to 9ghz ?

install the latset driver from amd it has a tuning software

Thank you. Am im doing right? cause i don't see any tune software there.

Downloading from official amd site http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-Software-Crimson-Edition-16.6.2-Release-Notes.aspx

The Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.6.2 installation package for Windows 10 and unfortunatelly don't see any AMD gaming evolving app or other stuff.. What's the correct name for this tune up utility? is it AMD Catalyst ? Thank you in advance!

Have you tried MSI Afterburner? It is the most common APP . I suggest you to install it and try it i hope it will help you because i use afterburner on my all card nvidia/amd.

Can somebody here who owns both a 7970 or 280X and bought an Rx 480 tell me the power difference between the two?

Hard to get an accurate power consumption figure when some people say it uses 120watts and some say 200watts. Also we all have different Bronze, Gold, Platinum PSUs.

Just wait for someone to reach this post. 480 uses 120 watts and gives the speed of 24 MHS . Check the OP i have updated it . i canceled my order for 480 because the site are selling it for 270$.

For those getting excited about the power usage reported by GPU-z --- Don't!

That value is only for the GPU chip its self, it doesn't account for the rest of the board. When my GPU-z shows 83w draw from the 480, my actual measurements taken from the riser and the 6 pin are 141w, a difference of 60 watts!

Here's confirmation from the creator of GPU-z himself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4qk17o/my_xfx_480_power_draw/d4tp4hc

Latest version, 0.8.9. It was an update to add Polaris support.

Seems like the 470 is likely more efficient the 480.

Quote from: chivaki on June 30, 2016, 10:02:24 PM

So which cards are at the moment most profitable for ethereum mining( ratio power consumption/mh) ?

I may be wrong. It was said in this thread or some links that memory bandwidth matters more than all the other stuff like shaders, etc. The 470 is mostly nerfed in the other stuff but just about the same as the 480 in memory size and memory clock/bandwidth at 40 less watts.

For now the GTX 1070 is more efficient on power to watts, but cost as much as 2x 480's to buy. So the question is will the extra hashes per watt be enough to pay for the card? Of course, the 1070 is a much greener option for the environment. 480 may be better for the wallet. If newer drivers that fix the power issues come around and extend the capacity to overclock the memory it may very well be the best. Also considering some after market cards eventually.

All I can say is you guys are making me happy that I didn't pre-order these reference cards. I hope everyone is able to tweak and massage them to work, but at this point I will wait to see what the aftermarket cards look like. I have to say I am a bit disappointed in how these are working out for people so far.

When will the aftermarket cards hit the market, usually? a month?

Usually 3-4 weeks after the reference cards are released you will see the aftermarket cards show up. Supplies can be tough to find however. Hopefully the aftermarket will address some of the glaring issues with the reference card.

yes but one consume 150w the other(1070) only 100w at 27MH

so with he same hash rate you get 50% more consumption, not soemthing that i would ignore especially on large scale

You also have to mention the price of the 1070 compared to the RX 480's one. When price will go to its normal area, 3x RX 480 = 1x 1070. Not something that I would ignore, especially on large scale.

More like 2 to 1 ratio when prices ON BOTH get down to normal.
Still a big difference though.

this is 8gb version, i think current price is normal.. maybe the 4gb version price will be $200
