Asus RX 480 Strix Gaming OC Aura RGB 8192MB

We use the latest version of Asus GPU Tweak to overclock the Asus RX 480 Strix Gaming OC Aura.

Using GPU Tweak, we were able to get the Asus RX 480 Strix Gaming OC Aura stable at a core frequency of 1,400mhz with the settings above. Unfortunately, the sliders were maximised at this point so we might have been able to push the graphics core even further. We attempted to overclock the card in AMD WattMan but reached a stable limit around 1,380mhz – lower than with GPU Tweak.

We overclocked the memory to the slider limit as well, which is only +160. We aren't sure if these somewhat modest slider limits are a glitch on some level, but I tried the card in 3 different systems and got the same results.

With the sliders at the limit in GPU Tweak, the score increased to almost 14,000. Putting the card well ahead of the Asus GTX 980 Strix and reference clocked Nvidia GTX 1060.
