Tom Clancy's "The Division" Gets DirectX 12 Update, RX 480 Beats GTX 1060 by 16%
Over the weekend, gamers began testing the new DirectX 12 renderer of Tom Clancy's "The Division," released through a game patch. Testing by GameGPU (Russian media site) shows that AMD Radeon RX 480 is about 16 percent faster than NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, with the game running in the new DirectX 12 mode. "The Division" was tested with its new DirectX 12 renderer, on an ASUS Radeon RX 480 STRIX graphics card driven by Crimson ReLive 16.12.1 drivers, and compared with an ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB STRIX, driven by GeForce 376.19 drivers. Independent testing by German tech-site ComputerBase.de supports these findings.

One of them died when a Silverstone AIO leaked onto it, but I don't see it as much of a loss.
It wasn't that good, to begin with.
I plan to post a few benchmark results once I get the second (and maybe a third) RX-480 installed.
Just look at how the 7970 outperforms the OG Titan in the latest games. Truly pathetic.
Based on specs, I expect the 480 to perform about 10% worse than the 1070 in the majority of games by the end of 2017.
Give amd the time to actually produce some well binned chips and I think we will see some much better clocks out there. Get a 480 into the 1600-1700mhz range and it equals the 1070 at stock.
/shrug.
Instead you have to scroll down to the bottom of the page
click a link, follow that link to their images to find out that the card was at 2164 mhz boost/9200mhz on the memory
That clears a couple things up for me. Go figure [H] is being [H] again. Hell when they can figure out how to measure actual card draw as opposed to whole system (mind you they have been doing "reviews" for almost 20 years and have been denied cards from AMD in the recent past). So one of a couple things happened, the [H] is just telling lies to people, they cannot overclock AMD cards to save their live's or they got a card that actually clocks worse than the lowest end RX480 on the market.
AKA this one,
The XFX RX480 RS model which is essentially an RX480 on an RX460 PCB has been consistently hitting 1390-1430 on stock voltage. Yet the Asus Strix card (which currently holds ALL of the 480 WR's) can only hit 1410@1.3v. I am not saying take this review with a grain of salt I am saying they are so full of shit it is coming out of Kyle Bennett's mouth as per usual.
