MSI Radeon RX480 8GB Gaming X test

Nakon testa tri GeForce kartice u MSI-evoj režiji s TwinFrozr VI hladnjakom, na red dolazi i jedna Radeonka. Na GTX1060, 1070 i 1080 karticama se ovaj hladnjak pokazao vrlo dobar i učinkovit pa se nadamo kako će takav biti i na RX480. Razlog je taj što referentni AMD-ov hladnjak nije ostavio dobar dojam jer se GPU pregrijava i ne daje puni potencijal. U međuvremenu smo testirali i Sapphireovu RX480 Nitro+ karticu koja donosi nereferentno hlađenje koje je podešeno tako da bude malo bučnije kako bi temperaturu GPU-a držalo pod kontrolom, no svejedno je dosta bolje od referentnog. Stoga smo s velikim nestrpljenjem čekali vidjeti i čuti TwinFrozr VI u akciji.

Kartica dolazi u kartonskoj kutiji s klasičnom MSI-evom Gaming shemom za ovogodišnju seriju tih kartica. Unutar kutije je odlično zaštićena unutar debele stiro-pjene, te anti statičke vrećice. U zasebnoj se kutiji nalazi bundle koji nije bogat, a sastoji se od knjižice s uputstvima, registracijskim listićem, te medijom s upravljačkim programima i Afterburner te Gaming App aplikacijama.

Kartica je vizualno identična spomenutim GeForce modelima jer koriste isti hladnjak koji u ovoj izvedbi dolazi s RGB LED osvjetljenjem. Pokrov je plastičan, a ispod njega se nalazi aluminijski hladnjak koji je zajedno s 8 mm debelim bakrenim cijevima kompletno poniklan. Ventilatori su već poznati Torx 2.0 koji rade u Zero Frozr modu, tj. stacionarni su do oko 66 - 67°C, nakon čega se pokreću, te opet gase kada temperatura GPU-a padne ispod 38°C. Kartica je kvalitetno napravljena i vrlo je masivna (dugačka je 276 mm, a masa je 978 grama). Spomenuto RGB LED osvjetljenje je identično kao i kod GeForce modela i tu nećemo previše duljiti, a njime kao i ostalim funkcijama upravljamo Gaming APP softverom.

Kartica je još dodatno ojačana aluminijskim okvirom koji se nalazi ispod hladnjaka, te aluminijskom pločom na stražnjoj strani. RX480 (Ellesmere) GPU na ovoj kartici radi u tri načina rada - Silent (1266 MHz), Gaming (1303 MHz) i OC (1316 MHz). U prva dva moda 8 GB GDDR5 memorije radi na 8 Gbps, a u OC modu to raste na 8.1 Gbps. Mi smo sve testove proveli na defaultnom modu rada - Gaming. Ostala dva je potrebno uključiti u Gaming App-u.

Kartica ima pet video izlaza – dva DisplayPorta 1.4 Ready, dva HDMI-a 2.0b i jedan DVI-D. Za dodatno napajanje energijom na stražnjoj strani ima jedan osam pinski konektor pa je maksimalna snaga koju može povući 225 W. VRM jedinica je izvedena uz pomoć Hi-C kondenzatora, Super Ferrite prigušnica i Solid kondenzatora japanske proizvodnje. Ostatak tehnologija koje podržava su identične 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 posljednje recenzije neke kartice - Gigabyte GTX1070 G1 Gaming. 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. 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 2250 MHz, odnosno okruglih 9 Gbps. Kakvim je to pomakom u performansama rezultiralo, vidjet ćemo na četvrtoj stranici ovoga testa u zasebnim grafovima.

Twin Frozr ponovno pokazuje svoju učinkovitost.

MSI je kao i sa GeForce Gaming X karticama, opet napravio odličan posao i s ovom RX480. TwinFrozr VI hlađenje je vrlo efikasno, mrvicu čujnije (kao i kod GTX1080), no i dalje sasvim podnošljivo, pogotovo ako pogledamo buku i neefikasnost referentnog hladnjaka. Kartica je odlično posložena, komponente su kvalitetne, a i performanse su s tim u skladu. U nekim starijim DX 11 naslovima ne može parirati GTX 1060 6 GB karticama, no u novijim DX12 je i brža. Zadovoljni smo i overcloking potencijalom koji je rezultirao povećanjem performansi od oko 6%, pa konačno vidimo RX480 karticu koja ostvaruje svoj puni potencijal. Cijena od oko 2.500 kuna na više nije najpovoljnija na tržištu, no sasvim je prihvatljiva ukoliko znamo da je ovo kartica s kojom se bez problema može igrati u 1440p rezoluciji. Ipak, premda je oko 5% brža od primjerice testirane Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 4GB, ujedno je i 500 kn skuplja, pa je zapravo 4 GB model pametnija kupovina.
