Polaris XFX RX480 Black Wolf Evolution Card Unpacking

The rise of massage parlors

I am not an A powder and I also started with a 4,000 oceanic dessert N card at the front end. This year's AMD graphics card also uses the CPU's market strategy. In other words, we can enjoy the flagship experience without spending a lot of money. Even if this flagship is not the top flagship, however, AMD is also the only world-class brand that can block Intel and its feet against NVIDIA. Support massage shop, massage shop refueling.

XFX is launching new graphics cards at a fast speed. Since the release of Polaris, XFX's graphics cards have often been seen on the forum news. This is only secondly, XFX's fan design is very much in line with the appetite of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This packaging of XFX graphics cards, the first feeling is very personal, the second feeling is very eggless. Because he takes up a lot of unnecessary space, the box containing the graphics card is much smaller. This kind of packaging can be very good to improve the look and feel. The X model also has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The interior box is a lot more refined, hard enough conventional plain paper, accessories and graphics are all inside.

Nowadays, the video card accessories are relatively few, and the VGA interface is canceled, saving one adapter, and basically only the specification and the qualified certification. Driving discs and 8PIN power supply conversion cables are relics of the era, but manufacturers still insist on.

The protagonist is encapsulated by a bag. This bag is special for cattle B, which is protected against electricity, water, moisture, moisture, mildew, insects, poison, and air. Do not wait for a moment to try fire prevention.

By the way, forgot to take pictures when unpacking. This is a supplement.

Video interview

RX480 4G Black Wolf evolution is very eye-catching in terms of face value, the overall use of high-end black color.

The interface is the same as most RX480s, DP3, HDMI1, and DVI-D1. Which canceled the VGA adapter, if you want to use VGA monitor, you can buy a DP, HDMI to VGA, the method needs to see the instructions of the wiring. The most used ones are DP and HDMI.

The white side of the video card has a pure white belief light, and no exaggerated shoulder design is used. In fact, the only way to increase shoulder width is to increase the width of the PCB. New things are more novelty. This is like forcing a similar increase in length. It will inevitably shrink if you look at more.

Who says that A card does not have a lamp of faith. However, in this flamboyant era, there may be more people like RGB.

RX480 4G Black Wolf Evolution has an 8PIN external power supply interface, which provides twice the power than the public version of 6PIN. The interface is inverted for easy insertion and removal.

The history of 6PIN's black history is not mentioned.

Now the graphics card backplane has been invincible, a backplane is not necessarily a good graphics card, but no backplane graphics card absolutely no bird. Here, the smart XFX RX480 4G Black Wolf evolution version has been silently put on a metal jersey.

I like the fan of this video card most, it is fixed by two rebounding buckles, can dismantle and install with freehand, need not dismantle the whole radiator, the daily maintenance course simplifies much.

Remove the fan directly is the fins. This is very time-saving and labor-saving, the most important and most important to maintain the graphics card without damaging the warranty label, obsessive-compulsive disorder necessary.

In addition to its fixed convenience, the fan's power supply is also very good. The general video card fan is connected with a fly wire across the heat sink, the wire is wrapped around the fan blade. RX480 Black Wolf evolved to use shrapnel contacts, a bit similar to the solid-link in its own power module PCB, and attached a fan to the power supply, eliminating the need to sort the wiring. I admired this design most, and improved the demolition fan process that was so troublesome.

I also have a XTR550, but the module PCB is directly connected with the wire and it is not acceptable.

The source of energy for this part is at the end of the graphics card. A very short lead connects the two PCBs. Avoiding the high-heat fins also extends the lifetime of the wire, although we haven't heard about the bad wires for a while.

The black wolf evolution fan comes from Firstdo, a supplier that is common. The slim version of the public version of the radiator is cooled by it. A good fan is very important, and the bad rate of the graphics card's bad fan is very high, although half of it is broken by the screwdriver when the fan is removed.

Unintentional dismantling

Later, I still removed the heat sink just for the grease. Many people have heard that manufacturers have poor silicone grease, and replacing silicone grease can lower the temperature better. However, this is only in vain.

Radiator is still very sincere, at least the pure copper base is better than the direct pressure heat pipe. The three 8mm heat pipes reflow all the fins by reflow soldering. The fins are fastened with Fin. Many heat sinks do this now. Looking at the specifications, the core of the TDP 150W should be no problem.

The MOS tube heat sink and the core heat dissipation are integrally formed so that the heat dissipation of the MOS tube will be better. In contrast, the heat sink needs to bear the heat of the core and the MOS tube at the same time, which will increase the burden.

To say where the radiator is outstanding, I think this heat pipe can give 9 points. The three 8mm heat pipes are much better than the 6mm heat pipe. The key is that the curved part is very smooth and there is no crease. This is very helpful for performance. The 1 point deducted is not nickel-plated. Now it is promoting environmental protection. Many factories have abandoned nickel plating.

RX480 4G Black Wolf Evolution Edition is a non-public version of the design, 5 +1 phase power supply, XFX custom inductors, each phase three MOS tube. The amount of power supply is comparable to the public version, and the quality is certainly higher than the public version. After all, the core frequency is 100 MHz higher than the public version. The 8 HMS GDDR5 memory cards are all on the front, and the frequency is the default public version. The fan and the fan control the heat dissipation. I feel that Samsung's playing rate is higher, but there are already few memory vendors.

Although the specifications are not luxurious, the details are handled well. DVI with metal shield, neat workmanship, or full Japanese capacitors. RX480 supports AMD's bridgeless crossfire technology, CrossFire already does not need to bridge, but also make room.

Next to the power supply interface, there is a BIOS switch button. This function is good, and the credit card failed to be saved.

Put a picture of silicone grease clean, do not know what the original grease, I will directly MX4. As a result, there has been no change in the use of silicone grease, which proves that the manufactured silicone grease is still very good quality. It seems that Intel's silicone grease CPU is not too much concern, after all, the CPU is only 95 watts.

RX480 positioning is not high, the performance is also in the high-end level. Winning in superior cost performance, this is in line with AMD's strategic style, as long as it is a careful calculation of the students will be more considerate AMD graphics. AMD CPU can only hope that the next year's ZEN to save the field.

The side of the white belief lamp, although the belief lamp just increase the value, and performance has nothing to do. However, the era of face seems to have dominated everything. This graphics card will also stop smartly, and the fan will stall when the standby temperature is low.

Actual operation

FurMark was used to check the stability. The temperature curve did not fluctuate. In the south of Guangzhou, the maximum temperature of the graphics card was only 76°C. Although there is still some distance from the maximum 90°C set by AMD, the core frequency has dropped a bit. It is not difficult to think that this is a legacy of AMD's public version and limits the maximum power.

Enter the WattMan setting that comes with the AMD driver to release the power limit. Since it is a non-public version of the RX480, the design of each manufacturer is different. Then run FurMark again to see how much the core frequency has improved.


Tweaked twice, basically increased to about 8% is enough to keep the default frequency of the Black Wolf evolution. Ignore the error, the temperature does not change substantially. In order to get the best cooling effect, I pulled the Black Wolf Evolution fan RPM up to 3,800 rpm and noticeably felt the fan sound. It is generally best to set it around 2600 rpm.

Attach the power socket, because the socket can only measure the power of the whole machine, only for reference value. Z170's i7 6700K platform, graphics card full load case, the host power of less than 230 watts, the current rated 500 watts of hot power can be easily competent, I pull the fan to the maximum speed to read the noise, in fact, do not need so much. Look at the speed has been known to be noisy, and my host under the feet, the graphics fan can not hear the sound when added to 3000 rpm. Put the main board on the table, can only endure at 2600 rpm.

3DMark performance evaluation test, the results are no overclocking default state. Running scores is not dazzling, taking into account the positioning of the RX480, more to show superior cost performance. After all, the game graphics card is used to play the game, and spending more money to create a score does not have any effect.

Game live

The game part according to my own daily settings, all the 1080P highest effects, the case of Caton, the special effects down one level. Smooth game first, visual effects second, this should be very agree.

Call of Duty, popular in popular games. In the case of full-spec 1080P, the Black Wolf evolution of RX480 4G can run smoothly and the game does not feel stuck in the middle. Note that this RX480 is a 4GB memory version. Please don't ask me if the yarn is not 8G, I can't think of an excuses for the graphics card to crossfire.

The Witcher 3 is a game developed by the NV community. There will be a slight psychological shadow on the A video card. In the case of full 1080P effects, the RX480 4G version just reached 60 frames of FPS passline. From the real-time monitoring of the game Gaga to see the bottleneck is not the memory capacity, can only explain the strength of the game, the game repeatedly felt stuck in the game, the game operation is unresponsive.

After lowering the special effects by one level, the game finally came out smoothly. The game has reached 90FPS throughout the game. The picture is consistent and the operation feel is not delayed. At the very least, the quality of the picture is justified. Students who do not pursue the ultimate game quality can refer to the reference.

League of Legends, also known as the Pupil League. This game requires less graphics performance and more CPU performance. Students who just want to play this game don't have to worry about the graphics card, and they just have to pay for the CPU and memory. The other game called CF is the same, but it's an issue.

Assassin's Creed is a game that comes with an FPS lock, and the RX480 4G is perfect for 1080P full effects. The AI ​​of the Assassin's Creed is a bit silly, and the enemy’s nearsightedness is too serious to be found anywhere.

The world-famous crime theme masterpiece "GTA5", RX480 4G black wolf evolution version just reached 1080P full effect smooth game, the game did not appear in the middle of Caton. However, to calmly think about it, the black wolf evolution is a non-public version of the design, beyond the public version of the frequency 100MHZ above, and I use the i7 6700K processor. In addition, the number of frames below the average is seen from the game plus-plus line chart. Since the game experience is smooth, I think this is caused by the transition. The optimization of the game itself is also the factor that helps the RX480 4G score. GTA5's 1080P full effect only consumes 3.5GB of memory, fortunately for the 4G version of the RX480.

When the game effects dropped one gear, the number of frames immediately went up, and the graphics card pressure was much less.

AMD graphics card special DirectX12 game, the rise of Tomb Raider 10, 1080P seems to be no threshold. The usage rate of full-effect memory capacity is between 2.5~3GB. It seems that it is wise to not choose the 8GB version. Super La Lola like this role.

Singularity is the first RTS real-time strategy game that supports DX12. Compared to game content, it may be more fancy that he supports DX12. The strange thing is that the API interface is DX11. Directly ran BenchMark, interested students can download and play, feeling a bit like Starcraft2.

In the end, this game was extremely cruel to the graphics card. The RX480 4G only ran a mid-level special effect. I tried running it with a more advanced graphics card. I believe this game will not have too many players, after all, everyone can not afford.

The VR era is getting mature. Although I haven't seen VR yet, VR performance is very important. I believe that there are still a lot of students who do not understand the meaning of these data expressions, including me. . .

On the end

To conclude, the RX480 4G version can handle most of the current games, and the 1080P full-fledged effects are also the most familiar selling points for the public. Although 4K devices and VR are beginning to prevail, there is still a long way to go in terms of price. The 1080P is still a popular model, not to mention that the current popular 24-inch monitor uses 1080P resolution and has reached the limit. To tell the truth, the word is too small. The eyes are a little tired in the day. It is useful when you have to play League of Legends.

In terms of performance, the evolution of the wolf RX480 4G just hit the GTA5's edge ball, which is very interesting. Later, when I lowered the GPU, it was really worse. If you are not very persistent with the picture quality, you can carefully consider the Polaris Radeon RX480, perhaps not as top violence as the next door, can crush everything. But at the very least, it is also a poor person. Agribusiness also feels that they can't afford a child with expensive gaming graphics cards. However, they are just too expensive to sell. .
