AMD RX 480 - First 3DMark results

You keep referring to it as ATI, you know AMD bought them in 2006 right?
The AMD Radeon RX 480 was released on June 29th 2016.... Ati doesn't have anything to do with the drivers. It should do better than the 1050, it was more equivalent to a 1060. Solid card for it's day

Yes, I know, I prefer it.Here is firestrike

When you look at relative performance, the RTX 3050 8GB is 124% of the RX 480, it's not that big of a difference.

I second this, and the ATI moniker was dropped in 2010 with the HD 6000 series and officially changed to the AMD moniker that same year.

Paired rx 480 8gb with 5600x cpu, now the cooling is as it should be in the case.
This rx 480 pulls well, goes up to 162W only the gpu (and that was measured in heaven benchmark).

that's a lot of power consumption for nowadays standards and that level of performance.. not a really good performance as even entry level gpus outperform greatly..

may I ask why u picked that RX 480? what's the purpose? if gaming is the usage then the performance won't be really good on modern titles.

my 9060xt is 160w...
i HOPE hes just playing around.

that's what I mean.. even my daughter machine with her RTX 2060 it's getting long in the tooth at 1080P it's tunned to 120W and with more than 40% difference in performance and it's dirty cheap nowadays.

PS: long time no seeing u.. =) regards..

I'm not kidding, it really uses that much in hwinfo. The card has 1x6pin, draws 80w from the pcie slot and 80w from the cable. I had an rx 480 right when it came out, then sold it later. I bought this new not so long ago, it's a great replacement for my rtx 4070super because I don't game. The GPU is a classic blower and the heat from the card goes out of the case.

A PCI-e slot will max out at 75w and a 6 pin GPU power cable also maxes out at 75w. If you're pulling more than 150w there is something wrong and it's not good. I wouldn't even want it pulling that much since it's right at the line. At stock my RX570 is 135w and even when overclocking I never let the max power target go above 145w and usually not even that. At this point I just run it at stock speeds but limit it to 110w as it has only a tiny drop in performance.

I haven't used amd graphics for a long time, is it possible to fix it in amd drivers? In my opinion, you don't need to touch anything because the card itself has protection in it. When I bought the rx 480 for the first time, it also consumed electricity at the limit of 150w. Let's call them a small pain.I think it's normal to draw up to 160W.
 
It's normal and amd also released drivers that fix it. Here's what they say:
The AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB has a rated TDP of 150W but typically draws between 150W and 170W under gaming loads, often exceeding 160W, especially in non-reference, factory-overclocked models. A 500W power supply is generally recommended for systems using this card.

Key Power Consumption Details:
  • Gaming Load: The card averages around 155W–165W, with some models (e.g., ASUS Strix) reaching up to 173W.
  • Power Connectors: While the card has a 6-pin connector, it frequently pulls over 75W from the PCIe slot, often exceeding 80W, which was a point of controversy at launch.
  • Driver Fix: AMD released a driver update (16.7.1) that significantly addressed the excessive power draw from the motherboard slot.
  • System Requirement: A 500W+ power supply is recommended, although a high-quality 450W PSU can work.
  • Idle/Multi-Monitor: The card consumes around 15W at idle, but this can jump significantly higher in multi-monitor or media playback setups
For optimal stability, ensure you are using a quality power supply, particularly because the card can exhibit high peak power consumption.
You probably didn't even use resizable BAR, I had it turned on when I ran this heaven benchmark.
