• Uses only a 6-pin connector, offering very low power consumption
• Easily handles current and upcoming games
• Full DirectX 12 and Vulcan support

• HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.3 handle 4K resolution at 60 Hz

Virtual Reality at Your Fingertips

Until now, it has only been possible to experience impressive and immersive virtual reality (VR) using expensive, high-end cards. The AMD Radeon RX 480 aims to introduce this technology to a wider audience through a more affordable price tag. The GPU boasts 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and a computing performance of more than 5 TFLOPS, putting it on a par with competing NVIDIA Pascal chip cards, which are twice as expensive.

A Step Ahead in Resolution and Frame Rate

Apart from the modernised HDMI 2.0b port, which is capable of processing 4K at 60 FPS, the rear panel houses no fewer than 3 DisplayPort v1.3 connectors. An improved interface handles up to 5K (5120 × 2880 pixels) and 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) at 60 FPS. The card also features support for Freesync technology and HDR, for smooth images and vibrant colours. The Polaris architecture takes care of H.265 acceleration at resolutions up to 4K, even at 60 FPS.
