"In our opinion, ATI has more than succeeded in their goal of proving to computer enthusiasts that the RX480 is a chipset for serious performance overclocking. These are, overall, the best overclocking results that we have ever seen with an Athlon 64 motherboard. The fact that these were achieved on a Reference board is all the more amazing!"

What a great job done by ATI.

Kudos to ATi for a very well-performing chipset when the entire world thought it was going to suck...

It would have been interesting to compare the performance with the 32MB(64bit) on MB frame buffer version (more bandwidth).

It will be interesting to see the next version ... nice if it had double the pipelines, 2 textures per pass, 16MB eDRAM (ie. integrated on die) for frame buffer, 64MB/64bit GDDR4 DRAM on MB...

However, the main purpose of these integrated solutions is for the basic home/business user who very rarely needs the 3D performance of the descrete high end cards. Dell and others will claim the world for a rock bottom price to buyers who don't know what they are missing (old Celeron P4 2.4GHz/400MHz, single channel DDR, IGP, 5400rpm drive were abysmal).

I belief that some MB manufacturer will make a move to 32MB-64bit Frame Buffer. We just have to wait and see.
