Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.
We also have an RX 470 reference design in this review. This is a 4 GB RX 480 that was flashed with the AMD RX 470 reference BIOS (not manually downclocked), so it not only has the performance but is just as loud, power and thermal characteristics being those of the RX 470 reference design.
- All video card results are obtained on this exact system with exactly the same configuration.
- All games are set to their highest quality setting unless indicated otherwise.
- AA and AF are applied via in-game settings, not via the driver's control panel.
Each game is tested at these screen resolutions:
- 1600x900: Common resolution for most smaller flatscreens and laptops today (17" - 19").
- 1920x1080: Most common widescreen resolution for larger displays (22" - 26").
- 2560x1440: Highest possible 16:9 resolution for commonly available displays (27"-32").
- 3840x2160: 4K Ultra HD resolution, available on the latest high-end monitors.
