AMD Radeon RX 480 CrossFire Performance Detailed - Full Specifications for Polaris 10 GPU Unveiled
The AMD Radeon RX 480 is just a week away from launch and we know almost everything about this power efficient graphics card from AMD. Yesterday, a leak confirmed the specifications of the full Polaris 10 chip in GPU-Z shot. The Radeon RX 480 will be based on the full Polaris 10 GPU which features 2304 unified shaders based on the GCN 4.0 architecture. The Radeon RX 480 comes with 144 Texture Mapping Units and 32 ROPs which deliver a texture fill rate of 182.3 GTexel/s and Pixel Fillrate of 40.5 GPixel/s at a clock speed of 1266.0 MHz.
The RX 480 graphics card will be available in two variants, a 4 GB model with a price of $199 US and a 8 GB model with a price of $229 US. The GDDR5 memory on both variants will be clocked at 8 GB/s (2.0 GHz clock), effectively delivering a cumulative bandwidth of 256 GB/s along a 256-bit interface. Based on the 14nm Finfet technology, the graphics card features a 150W TDP and powered by a single 6-Pin connector. Display outputs for the RX 480 include three DP 1.4 and a single HDMI 2.0b port.
