Clock Speeds and Averages
The Red Devil has a slight overclock compared to the stock version of the Polaris revision, up to 1380 MHz. As you can see from the sensor page below it managed to get very near to its rated speed throughout all our tests. Often a card will have a great headline number, but the average of actual GPU clock speeds isn't close to that, whereas the PowerColor promises 1380 MHz and delivered an average of 1340 MHz during our time with it. Good stuff.

What's the likely price? Mid-£200's I'm thinking - the 1060 Strix that it fairly-closely matches is around £290-300 and the 480's are about £230-260 or so, expect it to fill that range I guess.Quote
Added this in with my Ryzen system it would of taken the price to around the £650 mark which in fairness is a really nice price range for a proper gaming system, though that red needs to be white
Probably why I kept seeing Asus post with specials for 480's on FBQuote

Nice review, I have a mates customer who was told to hold off and not get an RX480 by me and just as well as the RX580 is going to be much better for him and he will be gaming at 1080 so this will give him all the bells and whistles

QuoteNot bad. Saw a couple of 580's hit 1500Mhz, but most were slightly below.Quote
Genuinely glad that AMD have allowed the AIBs to put their coolers on the cards from the start and not forcing them to use reference designs initially. They should do the same for Vega as wellQuote
