Gaming RX 480 GDDR5 4GB Crossfire VR Ready FinFET DirectX 12 Graphics Card (Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 4G)

Simply put: If you don't have the money to spend nearly a thousand dollars for the best graphics card out there, this card for 200$ is the next best thing. Its a great card for playing games at 1080p on high to ultra settings. And you can play a good amount of modern games at 1440p with high settings all while getting smooth 60 FPS. This is the best high end card available right now for the price. And for 4GB vram is more than enough for most games, unless you want the super high detail some games carry, in which case, you should spend more for the 8GB model. Since those setting are purely based on vram. UPDATE Okay after spending sometime with this card, I ran into one major issue, overheating. As you might have read elsewhere, this card gets very hot, very fast. It quickly goes to 80-84 degrees, and if you don't have good airflow in your case, the card will overheat and cause a black screen crash, forcing you to hard reset the PC. I have a cheap old case I've been using for a very long time. The card's limit is 90 degrees. The problem is in the design that MSI has done. The default cooling method has the fans on the card not spinning while idle, and the fans turn one once the card goes over 60 degrees. The problem is, because the card gets hot fast, the fans don't spin fast enough to cool the heat. It doesn't even spin at 100 percent unless its about to crash. Not good. Fortunately there is a fix, I downloaded MSI Afterburner program. It's completely free and widely used. I used this program to create a custom fan profile to manual adjust the cooling method. I have the fans always spinning at 40 percent while idle, which you hardly hear, and the fans spin at 100 percent once it goes over 60 degrees. The result is idle temps at 30-35 and load temps at 65-70, and 75 at most. So my black screen crashes have stopped. Was thinking about taking a star away for the poor cooling design, but the benefits from the card are still great, so I'll keep it at 5 stars... for now.

The MSI Rx 480 Gaming X 8GB GPU is amazing. Much better than my old MSI R9 380. I can definitely enjoy my games pretty much maxed out at 1080p, and I absolutely enjoy it. I use Afterburner for a custom fan curve, and have noticed that even under heavy load, this RX runs much cooler than my old R9 did. The power consumption is much less that the earlier generation as well, which lends itself to the cooler performance. I am a huge "fan" of the MSI TwinFrozr cooling solution. It looks better than those on the competitor cards, such as ASUS or EVGA, and it super quiet. Yes, this card is a little large, but if you read the dimensions, you should be aware of its size. measure your case before hand. This is user issue, not MSI issue. This card is a little longer and wider than my R9 380, but it's not obnoxiously heavy. The lights on the card are cool. The R9 didn't light up along the edges of the cooler like this one does. I do wish I didn't have to use MSI Gaming App to control the LED though, since I cannot have Afterburner and MSI Gaming App working at the same time. Sorry MSI, but Afterburner is my app for fan curve and OC. I wish you'd have the app for LED only, so it wouldn't mess with anything else from Afterburner. I attached a picture of my Unigine Valley run. This is on stock FX 6350, no OC on either the CPU or the GPU. Haven't had time to mess with OC much, and can provide an update once Ryzen arrives. Great card. I will be purchasing another for Crossfire in the future. *** Update, so I did purchase another for Crossfire. I've been waiting on one last part to assemble my new PC. The only thing I'm dissappointed in isn't the product, but the reseller. They aren't supporting the AMD promotion for free Doom with purchase of an RX 480 GPU. Kind of wish I could return this and purchase through Newegg; however, after the cost of returning and the slightly higher price on Newegg, I could just buy Doom. Kind of lame. I contacted them, and they stated they don't support the promo. Otherwise, great products. MSI knows what they are doing.

Made my PC run great! It runs games like League of Legends, Overwatch like a charm and demanding titles like Just Cause 3 on medium! What more could you ask for the price?

Graphic performance is out of expectation, amazing details in every game I've played so far, but it could be worst if pair with low profile CPU like dual core, so keep that in mind before buying this graphic card, in these day games become more and more CPU intensive as well as graphic card

Muy buena tarjeta gráfica, corre algunos juegos AAA a más de 40 fps con graficos en alto, increíble rendimiento para esta pequeña, por parte de Amazon estoy sorprendido, la pedí el 14 diciendo que llegaba hasta el 20 y llegó de sorpresa el 16. Recomendable 100%

i would say this is by far the best graphics i have used for this price range would recommend it to all

Card runs great, I paired this with a kraken g10 water cooler, ram runs hot it seems, but the heat sink for ram chips stayed on. there was however a little metal pleased I had to cut to get to fit properly. I might not have warranties any more but card runs cool 31C on gaming battlefront. no over clocks. Ps with msi afterburner and the afterburner ISO or android app can watch temps and usage from phone in really time bad a** app
