Customer Ratings & Reviews

My husband loves it! Works like it should. . . . .

does well with online gaming and streaming video!!

its cool installed this on my pc and it stays cool

Bought this to boost my car racing sim. could not be better!!

I think it would have been a great card it just did not fit.

cheap way to get great performance on a low end build.

Always purchased AMD cards and processor but this card crashes on me randomly. 1 crash = 5 game losses in overwatch which is more than an hours worth of gaming. use to love amd but forget this, going nvidia for my next build.

This card was good in my computer I had 2 960s before buying this GPU. But when I put this card in my computer after about 3 days it faulted out and I had no idea what happened to it. But I think that was just a one time thing.

Overall it is a good card, however the shroud is made of cheap plastic and the pin to power the card is on an awkward spot on the card. Plus the Blue LED power indicator disrupts the white LED fans for aesthetic.

The summary as shown. I wanted to upgrade from a 4gb and it just didn't work. Would cut on and off. I have a 1200 watt power supply so the card had problems

It met all my expectations for a mid grade gaming video card, until it died 2 days later. AMD/XFX needs to up their QC game imho.

Make sure you have 100 hertz monitor or some fps game will lag and stutter!

Bought it to go along with my oculus since amd pitched it as a powerful car for a low price and its vr ready. Well it kept on crashing again and again and couldn't even handle the oculus for more than five minutes. It could be that I had a bad card but I do say this for anyone wanting to get one. Try it out and run becnhmarks and if it crashes multiple times your better of returning.

I can only play games for about 10 minutes before my computer crashes. It performs great for those 10 minutes though! We will see if XFX and Best Buy will hold up their end for returns and warranties to make this right.

The model number for the Best Buy version is RX-480P8LFLR. THIS IS the 8GHz memory versus the 7GHz version (of other RS version). The only faster version from XFX is the Black Editions, and that includes for example, 4 heat pipes versus 3 for this, and a GPU OCed to 1338MHz versus 1288MHz also. Why did I pick this up versus the Black Editions, because Best Buy is 10mins away, and those listed differences (between this and the B.E.) really does not make any real world differences in performances. I bought this for my kid's PC, and I still have my older gens 7900 series in crossfire, and I'm a bit jealous of the efficiency and performance for the price. This thing seems to run Fallout 4 at a higher, and with better FPS than my pair of OCed and watercooled 7900 cards. I suggest going directly to XFX website to compare the different versions if it is your preferred brand. Game On, and I'll see you in the battlefield! - Chhinbolina

Wanted something that could run GTA V on very high settings with minimal/no stutter (which my card before this one was having issues with (Gtx950 2gb)). I hate paying/waiting for shipping so I went to best buy and this card seemed like the best one in terms of price to functionality ratio. Obviously straight after buying it I fired up GTA V and maxed out every setting. Works great / Couldn't be happier.

The performance of the Rx 480 is well documented and doesn't need to be talked about here. I've seen online people complaining about the RS version running hot, but I did not experience that with this model from Best Buy. When the GPU isn't running games the fans are usually off. At the current price the GTX 1060 6B offers more performance. If you plan on getting a Freesync monitor this card is a no brainer.

This is a good card and it looks and feels BEAUTIFUL, especially with the light-up fans and logo and the stylish backplate, but I have to warn that when you run it at max or close to max capacity that it runs fairly hot and loud. Yes it is better than a reference blower card (in a well-ventilated case, in a poorly ventilated case it's actually worse, and you should get a blower card to vent the heat directly out using the GPU's blower fan) but not by a huge amount. The card can run surprisingly hot when you play a game that actually stresses it (like The Division, or many GPU-bound games on Ultra settings) and when the fans spin up over 50%, they can be very audible, and the quality of the noise isn't great as they sound rough buzzy enough to be heard over case fans. No high pitched whine though, which is good. This is one of the smaller RX 480's at around 9.45", with I think only the Gigabyte G1 being any smaller, and the Sapphire Nitro being about similar in length. It's a double-slot cooler, like almost every 480. That doesn't mean that it's small by any means though. The backplate gives it a decent thickness, and in smaller cases (including some older mid-size cases that have drive bays in the middle that are non-removable) the length and height is enough to block the middle of the case and impede airflow. So if you have a smaller case and/or a case with not very good airflow, I recommend you just get a reference card like this one instead: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-custom-backplate-xxx-oc-radeon-rx-480-8gb-ddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/5446220.p?skuId=5446220 Lastly, I'd like to say that 8gb on this card is nice and makes it more futureproof, so if the 6gb 1060 is sold out and you're looking at an 8gb 480, don't be afraid to pull the trigger. Most games nowadays don't use more than 4gb (and if so, they just use really poorly optimized textures to stress your card for no reason to make it seem like your card is doing something) but there are some games that actually make use of a lot of VRAM for a good reason like to make skin look ultra-realistic like Rise of the Tomb Raider. Yes, the 4gb 470's and 480's are good cards for now (although I don't like the 3gb 1060's as I feel that the ram is not enough AND they're 11% slower than the 6gb 1060 because they're cut-down, weaker chips) and even the immediate future, but the 6gb 1060 and especially the 8gb 480 are I feel the best investments right now for the further future in the midrange segment.

This card has so far stunned me. I went from a Crossfire set up with 2 R9 270x's. The improvement in the graphics stunned me. I rarely used Crossfire due to the lack of support on games. If need be I will post more later. The fans not spinning until under load is sweet!!

After buying a similar ASUS RX480 and having issues with it causing my computer to lock up and crash, I decided to buy local and picked up the XFX RX480. I don't have any past history with XFX so I took a chance. This card performs great - no more crashing computer! I installed the card and downloaded AMD's latest drivers with zero issues. I have increased the clock speed to 1475 MHz with the Wattman utility from AMD. All of my games clock in at 1080p 60FPS or higher. I have not tired a higher res, but my guess is that it would do fine for most games. As long as the card isn't defective and you don't have a bottleneck, this card should do what you need. Note: LEDs on the fans are blinding. Fans are interchangeable for different colors too which is a nice bonus.
