MSI Radeon RX470 8GB Gaming X test

Ponovno poznata kutija, poznati dizajn i poznata kartica. Kod MSI-evi Gaming X kartica ne možete raspoznati jesu li GeForce ili Radeoni gledajući samo u poklopac hladnjaka i ventilatore, toliko je unificiran dizajn. Ipak, kod ove kartice fali stražnja aluminijska ploča, baš kao i okvir koji dolazi ispod hladnjaka, a razlozi su jednostavni - rezanje troškova, a slabiji se čip ionako manje zagrijava. Kada smo kod MSI RX470 kartica, recimo samo kako ih je u ponudi čak osam - četiri u Gaming i četiri u Armor seriji. Pred nama je danas trenutno najjača/najbrža u ponudi.

Kao i RX480, kartica je unutar kutije odlično zaštićena unutar debele stiro-pjene, te anti statičke vrećice, a dolazi i sa plastičnim zaštitama za konektore. Bundle je također identičan, što će reći siromašan - tu je tek knjižica s uputstvima, registracijski listić, te medijom s upravljačkim programima i Afterburner te Gaming App aplikacijama.

I premda nose isto ime, i s ove strane izgledaju gotovo identično, hladnjak je ipak ponešto drugačiji od onoga na RX480, no o tome ćemo kasnije. Ellesmere procesor na ovoj kartici ima 2048 shadera, 128 teksturnih jedinica i 32 ROP-a. Kao i kod ostatka Gaming X serije i ovdje ima tri frekvencije rada - Silent (1206 MHz), Gaming (1242 MHz) i OC (1254 MHz). S obzirom da se prva i treća moraju koristiti uz pomoć Gaming App-a, a srednja je defaultna, tako smo mi i testirali. Memorije je 8 GB i GDDR5 je tipa, a radi na efektivnih 6.6 Gbps, a u OC modu na 6.7 Gbps. Komunikacija se jasno odvija putem četiri memorijska kontrolera u GPU-u ukupne širine sabirnice 256-bita.

Sad kad znamo što pokreće ovu karticu pogledajmo pobliže hladnjak. I premda nosi isto Twin Frozr VI ime i ima RGB osvjetljenje kao i na RX480 kartici, te Zero Frozr tehnologiju, ipak je malo drugačiji. Fali jedna toplovodna cijev, nema okvir koji dolazi ispod hladnjaka, te nema aluminijsku ploču koja dolazi sa stražnje strane PCB-a. Kartica je tako manje mase od 774 grama, malo je uža, ali i iste dužine kao i skuplji model - 276 mm.

I ova kartica ima istih pet video izlaza kao i RX480, 2x DisplayPort 1.4 Ready, 2x HDMI-a 2.0b i 1x DVI-D. Ima i isti osam pinski konektor za dodatno napajanje električnom energijom, pa je maksimalna snaga koju može povući istih 225 W. VRM jedinica je također izvedena uz pomoć Hi-C kondenzatora, Super Ferrite prigušnica i Solid kondenzatora japanske proizvodnje, samo je u ovom slučaju četverofazna (na RX480 je šest fazna). Ostatak tehnologija koje podržava su identične kao i kod RX480, te ostatku Polaris obitelji.

  Način testiranja

Naš standardni test sistem je baziran na Asusovoj Rampage IV Extreme ploči, Intelovom i7-3960X procesoru i ukupno 16GB (4x 4GB) G.Skillove radne memorije brzine 1866MHz. Testovi i benchmarci su isti kao i kod RX480 Gaming X testa. Testirali smo s Crimson 16.9.1 driverima kako za Windowse 10 tako i za 8.1, samim time na DX12 gdje je moguće i na DX11 na svim naslovima. Testirali smo na 2560x1440 rezoluciji na Dellovom U2713HM monitoru, osim Warhammera koji je od početka imao problema s prebacivanjem rezolucije pa smo nastavili testiranje u 1920 x 1200. Kao i uvijek, napravili smo i testove zagrijavanja te potrošnje kroz nekoliko naslova te uzeli onu najveću vrijednost, a mjerena je potrošnja cijelog sistema. Vrijednosti buke koju navodimo u članku smo dobili mjerenjem uz pomoć Z5 Compact smartphonea (Android 6.0) i SoundMeter aplikacije.   Overclocking

Overclockirali smo uz pomoć Afterburnera. GPU smo uspjeli podići na stabilnih 1350 MHz, a memoriju na 1850 MHz, odnosno 7.4 Gbps. Kakvim je to pomakom u performansama rezultiralo, vidjet ćemo na četvrtoj stranici ovoga testa u zasebnim grafovima.

Nisu jasno potpuno bešumni ventilatori, čuju se, no to je vrlo podnošljivo.

Razlog je naravno taj što imaju istu količinu snage na raspolaganju (225 W) i što je tvornički overclock dosta visok.

Ipak, overclockirani se GPU dosta grije i to se itekako osjeti dodirom toplovodnih cijevi.

S cijenom od oko 2.050 kuna na domaćem tržištu ovo nipošto nije najpovoljnija RX 470 s 8 GB memorije, no kvalitetna je, brza i tiha. Vidjeli smo kako je brža i od ASUS STRIX i od Sapphire OC suparnika (doduše obje imaju 4GB memorije), i kako je sasvim sposobna vrtjeti igre u 1440p rezoluciji. Ok, kod nekih se igara malo treba smanjiti doživljaj, tj. razina detalja kako bi glatko isle u 60 fps, no neosporno je kako je ovo jako brza kartica koja nadilazi FullHD gaming. TwinFrozr hladnjak je još jednom dokazao svoje kvalitete, a uklanjanjem stražnje ploče i okvira koji dolazi ispod hladnjaka se nije izgubilo na efikasnosti. Sve u svemu, MSI je ponovno odradio dobar posao i kupcima donio kvalitetan i brz proizvod.
