The road of my graphics card is not far away. From the first console in my life, I chose 3DFX voodoo3. At that time, selling my JS introduced how this card is high-end. Only this card can play FF7 and the like. Little did I know that I had already abused the round table warrior on the PS.
Then I was busy with my studies and naturally I didn't play much games. By the second year, the country began to become popular in online games. The era of more open stone has become its most pressing need. So start the second card of life ATI Redeon9550. At that time, my needs were fully met. (Image from the network)
After walking through the stone, magic baby, MU, RO, after getting up to work also slowly got the video card is the change. This time I finally chose Invista, and the work of Sotec GTX260 made me amazing. The performance is also very powerful. Of course, there are some deficiencies, magic baby dual card will be more than 9550 card. (Image from the network)
The development of the era until the advent of World of Warcraft, ending the life of the GTX260, HD6870 perfect take over, but the resolution at that time, generally 1680X1050.
After entering the era of 1080p, playing a dark 3 will flash flash, 1G flash from time to time to make the game's frame count dropped to 0. However, in the middle age, the playing of the game is naturally less, and 6870 hard-sounding support for 2016. The exquisite images of Tomb Raider, the strong support of Chinese speech, the unbreakable Denuvo technology, and the fact that the average of 20 frames after the 6780 test failed to perform, made me resolve to replace the video card.
I am not an A rice or N rice. I am pursuing a price/performance ratio. GTX1070 can be said to be the price of almost all games on the market, 2899, originally I was ready to pull the grass thing. The reason that the marketable price of 3499 plus futures made me take a look at the rival RX480. (Image from the network)
AMD came to a red counterattack, many people think that RX480 performance exceeds GTX980, pricing 2000 is really a revolution in the graphics industry. However, the bigger the difference is, the bigger the expectation is. I also expected to reach this point, but the performance of the RX480 can still be said to be good, and finally I still entered the RX480, the main reasons for the selection are as follows.
1 My monitor is 1080P resolution, so I'm concerned that most of the games I want to play at 1080P high effect, RX480 can be competent. Such as the rise of Tomb Raider, RYSE, Wizard 3 and so on. 60 frames and 100 frames actually can't see the difference. The 1070 higher than 1500 may not be the best choice for me.
2 From the various media tests, the AMD performance of the DX12 is obviously superior to that of the N family. From a development point of view, choosing the A card is my belief that in the next few years, there will be more and more games for the DX12.
The 3rd version of the RX480 dissipates heat and is really a slag. But still can control at 90 degrees, so I think there is room for improvement in the replacement of heat.
4 GTX1070 is generally out of stock prices, RX480 spot available coupons. This is very important. The scheduled video card has always been a pit for the poor!
For the XFX backplane open to sell 399, I also chose the brand with the flow, and the default frequency is also a little higher than the public version. At least it feels cost-effective and adds a loss. So Jingdong "500-30 coupons" + "200 A card for Zhang Aunt" + "30 yuan Jingdou" together, the last 1739 start!
RX480 packaging is really simple, to the manufacturer's profit margins really low it?
The CD-ROM is equipped with preparatory drivers. It is not yet fully capable of playing its full capacity, so it is almost useless.
After tearing the membrane, you can see the panel of skin-like materials. The sense of science and technology is good, but it does not help the heat dissipation.
This is the only public version that has a backplane, and it can be regarded as earned.
The card is well protected and there is a protective sleeve at the interface
Turbo fans are standard on the public version and may not be understood by many people. Noisy and inefficient. Why does the public version still need to be cooled? If you've played SLI or CrossFire, you'll understand that the multi-heat-tube multi-fan effect is not evenly balanced with the turbine. There is a video card that cannot remove heat because there is no space for heat. Turbine heat dissipation can keep the heat out of the chassis. This should be the reason why the public version chooses turbine dispersion.
6Pin power supply can be said to be the biggest failure of RX480. This kind of design is hard to rest assured for overclocking or full use. It is not a wise choice to reduce power consumption to force control.
The 3DP+1HDMI interface completely out of analog output,
Start the installation
It's also a little tricky to install, first remove the simple water that you have assembled.
Make goodbye to the old card
At room temperature of 30 degrees, HD6780 standby water at 47 degrees, GPUZ full load 61 degrees
RX480 standby temperature is actually only 43 degrees
Running a 3Dmark test is 85 degrees, and it is exactly the same as other partners' test results.
From the above data, the essence of RX480 is actually not hot, but this cooling is worse. So I decided to forget the warranty and replace the heat! So start the demolition demolition! The backplane is removed and removed ~ (You should be able to sell salted fish for a cooling money.)
Take off the jacket off, all take off ~ ~ ~ take off ~ After the end of the card is still relatively short, it should be able to meet the needs of some ITX chassis.
6+1 power supply is very solid, the core power supply bridge MOS tube MDU1514, the lower bridge MOS tube MDU1511, material conscience
Replace the first step is to choose the natural silicone grease, here I would like to advise everyone, must not buy a treasure of the star card thermal grease, a media site tested, the effect is very general, not as good as Durex lubrication fluid. God test posts Address: Link
My own choice is GX03's silicone grease, which is relatively thick, easy to dry, and requires patience when painted. However, its thermal conductivity is very good. I have collected a few spares myself.
The heat dissipation I chose was a long-standing overclocking three Black Sea generation 1, 4 heat pipes, and a single 12CM fan support. It seems that the market has not been sold. In addition, it must be used with aluminum heat sinks.
After a good standby on the machine I was shocked, outdoor 30 degrees, standby 33 degrees! ! !
GPUZ full load 55 degrees
After a 3D MARK, the score has increased magically! I do not know if it is related to heat dissipation.
Well, solve the heat to start a small overclocking
Running points have also risen slightly. I have met the temperature control at 65 degrees.
At that time the temperature forgot to read, make up the temperature of 1325 frequency
Of course, you can play higher, but this is not my original intention.
1080P high special effects play slip game is my original intention!
The last thing I want to tell you is that the reason for my choice of video card is entirely to see what kind of game I want to play. The card is used instead of running points.
In addition, if you can do it yourself, try to do some DIY, maybe there is no small surprise ~
