PowerColor Radeon RX 480 DEVIL Spied

btarunr · Jul 1, 2016

Here's the first picture of a PowerColor Radeon RX 480 DEVIL. It turns out that the DEVIL-branded graphics card the company threw open a giveaway for, is in celebration of the RX 480 after all. Pictured below with its rear I/O shield removed, the card appears to feature a brand new triple-fan, dual-slot cooling solution by PowerColor, and a custom-design PCB that draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include a DVI connector, besides the three DisplayPorts 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b. The card appears to feature dual-BIOS, looking at that tiny switch. The card is reportedly capable of GPU clocks above the 1.40 GHz mark.

Interesting - Asus' Strix version is using 6+8. I'd love to see the two compared in terms of...everything!

Why if it is suppose to be a 8-pin, why isn't the extra 2 pin not plugged in?

My guess is it might be like the old 2900XT, where you can plug a 6-pin connector into the 8-pin socket and the card will still function, just not Overclock.

I'm glad the AIBs are switching to 8-pin. 6-pin isn't enough.

Interesting that they stuck a DVI port on it.

1.4GHZ , Capish!

Agreed, it looks like a standard 6 pin to me.

Hmmmm, I just remember seeing this earlier while looking about. Did not notice the first time that was just six pins in.

I rather nab a RX480 with 8 pins or more to tinker around with. Kind of glad though that the AIBs are putting DVI on them since my monitor only has that connector.

Glad to see tripple cooler, don't care about 8pin or 6pin. Above 1.4Ghz, not bad, not bad.

IDK this whole thing about 3-fans seems wonky... for this and GTX1070/1080 (although I get it more for a 1080).
All this low power usage and the cards seem to still grow bigger. Sure it fine for the desktop gaming upgrade crowd, slower quieter fans while hopefully a cooler itself backs that up. Although I just see some/a bunch AIB's are making them appear bigger with another fan while nothing special under the hood need or there in the way of great engineered compact cooling systems (passive anyone?) More about bling... like RGB lighting and less about the time and effort of a compact package.

Honestly AMD/RTG should have shown a RX 480 version bases more the "premium industrial cooler" that the Nano received. Worked in a 8-pin and added more in the clocks, and got up into the 980 for just to show yea we could play the Founders Edition game. Base on the rather petite stock PCB length, using vapor chamber/heat pipes to the VRM, and center fan to keep it hushed, it would've showed a really nice package.
