Sapphire Radeon RX470 Nitro+ 4GB test

S obzirom da smo krajem kolovoza testirali RX480 Nitro+ karticu, poznato nam je i pakiranje i kako je kartica izrađena i kvaliteta hladnjaka, ali i ostatak značajki koje nose Nitro+ kartice. Iz testa RX 470 4GB OC kartice znamo kako referentni hladnjak nije sreća i kako i RX470 i RX480 moraju imati dobar custom hladnjak jer se grafički procesori dosta zagrijavaju. Na RX480 se Dual-X hladnjak pokazao solidnim, što znači kako na ovoj kartici može biti samo još bolji jer je RX470 nešto manji potrošač i manje se zagrijava.

I pakiranje je identično kao kod skupljeg RX480 modela s kutijom vertikalne orijentacije. I ova je kartica odlično zaštićena u debeloj spužvi i antistatičkoj vrećici. Bundle je nažalost također isti što znači relativno siromašan - nalazimo medij s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, knjižicu s uputstvima i letak za registraciju proizvoda.

RX470 kartica je identičnih dimenzija i dizajna kao i jača RX480, pa se na 240 mm dužine tu ispod plastičnog pokrova rasprostire Dual-X hladnjak s free flow dizajnom u kojem se sav topli zrak izbacuje kroz prednju i stražnju rešetku hladnjaka. Dva se dual ball bearing 95 mm ventilatora (quick connect), nalaze na aluminijskom hladnjaku pojačanom s toplovodnim cijevima. CoolTech tehnologija se uz Inteligent Fan Control III brine o hibridnom radu ventilatora koji se do 56°C ne vrte, a iznad te temperature se njihov rad balansira u ovisnosti o opterećenju.

Na stražnjoj se strani nalazi aluminijska ploča koja pojačava čitavu konstrukciju te služi kao hladnjak. Grafički procesor na kartici je slabiji Ellesmere baziran na GCN arhitekturi četvrte generacije. Napravljen je u GlobalFoundriesovoj tvornici u 14 nm FinFET proizvodnom procesu, i na površini od 232 mm kvadratna broji 5.7 milijardi tranzistora. Arhitektura od 32 compute unita znači kako je ukupno 2048 shadera, uz 32 ROP jedinice te 128 teksturnih jedinica. Čip radi na maksimalnom taktu od 1206 MHz kada je BIOS prekidač u položaju bližem prednjoj rešetki, a na 1260 kada ga prebacimo u drugi položaj. Pregledom GPUZ loga smo utvrdili kako tek u rijetkim naslovima kartica radi u maksimalnom boost-u, i taktovi se najčešće kreću oko 1230 MHz. 4 GB GDDR5 memorije u oba slučaja radi na 1750 MHz, odnosno efektivnih 7 Gbps, s maksimalnom teoretskom propusnosti od 224 GB/s, preko 256 bitnog sučelja.

Kartica, baš kao i RX480 ima Nitro Glow RGB LED sistem na vrhu s tipkom za brzu izmjenu boja, a tu se nalazi i tipka za promjenu BIOS-a. Za dodatno napajanje je potrebno priključiti jedan 8-pinski PCIe Power konektor, pa je maksimalna snaga koju kartica može potegnuti 225 W, dok je službeni TDP 175 W. Kartica standardno podržava i bridgeless CrossFire, Eyefinity (četiri simultana monitora), Liquid VR, HDR itd. Od API-a su jasno podržani DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, OpenCL 2.0, i Vulkan 1.0. Kartica ima pet video izlaza - jedan DL-DVI-D, dva HDMI 2.0b i dva Display Porta 1.4. Toliko u opisu, idemo na overclocking i testove.

  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 16.9.2 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. Testirali smo u bržem od dva BIOS profila - na 1260 MHz. Isprobali smo i dvije RX470 kartice u CrossFireu i od svih su testiranih naslova skalirale samo u Alien Isolationu, Dirt Rallyu, Thiefu i Warhemmeru uz prosječni porast od oko 70%, te stoga te rezultate nećemo uvrštavati u grafove.   Overclocking

Overclockirali smo s Trixx 3.0 aplikacijom koja se i u beti pokazala stabilnom za taj zadatak. Iz grafičkog smo procesora uspjeli izvući sasvim solidnih 1330 MHz, a iz memorije 1915 MHz ili efektivnih 7.66 Gbps. Kakav smo napredak u performansama ostvarili moći ćemo vidjeti u zasebnim grafovima na petoj stranici članka.

Sasvim očekivano, s obzirom da je RX470 nešto manji potrošač. No, GPU se dosta grije, pa time i hladnjak, toplovodne cijevi i stražnja aluminijska ploča te se ventilatori stoga i brže moraju vrtjeti.

Kao i u slučaju RX480 i RX470 Nitro+ je odlično posložena kartica, s custom PCB-om, 16K kondenzatorima i Black Diamond 4 prigušnicama, s adekvatno riješenim hlađenjem i tvornički podignutim taktom na 1260 MHz. To je rezultiralo odličnim performansama, najboljim koje smo do sada vidjeli za jednu RX470, i potvrdilo kako je i za 1440p igranje dovoljno 4 GB video memorije, te kako nije potrebno ići na verzije s 8 GB. Što se generalnih performansi tiče vidimo kako je RX470 pogodna za igranje i na 1440p no poneki se kompromisi moraju napraviti za gladak gameplay, dok je odavno dokazala kako je idealna za 1080p. I overclocking potencijal ove kartice je vrlo dobar, a jedine mane su povećano zagrijavanja i čujniji rad ventilatora - u oba BIOS profila. S cijenom od oko 1.700 kuna na više u hrvatskim dućanima informatičke opreme ova je kartica svakako best buy u svojoj klasi. Ostaje nam tek za vidjeti koliko joj GTX1060 3 GB može zaprijetiti.
