Instead of requiring 2 PCIe connectors as in the 28nm R9 200 and 300 series, the RX 480 uses only 1, yet it is supposed to deliver near R9 390 performance. The Gigabyte RX 480 G1 with WindForce 2X cooling starts out with a factory overclock of 1290MHz, and we want to compare its stock and maximum overclocked performance with the reference RX 480 as well as with the Red Devil, and versus its Nvidia competitor, the GTX 1060. The two reference versions were poor overclockers, not able to get much over their 1266MHz boost clocks, but the 1330MHz Red Devil managed to reach a very respectable manual core overclock of 1400MHz. This $269 Gigabyte RX 480 8GB G1 Gaming evaluation is the fourth RX 480 that we have tested including one AMD and one Diamond Reference version as well as a recently price-lowered $259 Red Devil RX 480 OC.
