Powerful- I will say right now the RX480s are the best bang for your buck with the XFX offering some additional options in overclocking. Yes it will not be playing every current gen game at Ultra settings at 1080p 60 (if any card right now can) but most will come close or you can knock down the graphics if you want smoother game play.
Overclock- First WattMan included in the Radeon control panel makes OCing the card easy. A bonus XFX allows you to switch the bios in the card so you can easily overclock it or they give you an option to go for a silent option. The card also has a bios reset in case the flash goes bad.
DVI Connection- The reference RX480 did not have a dedicated DVI connection, you had to buy a Displayport to DVI connector.
Freesync- Playing a game on a Freesync monitor is amazing. There is a wider selection of Freesync monitors compared to G Sync ones. Also there is not “g sync tax” that having an Nvidia card has (a similar monitor with g sync is about $50 more than one with Freesync due to extra hardware needed on the monitor).
8 GB GDDR5- With current games asking for 4GB or more video ram for high quality textures this card has plenty of headroom to max that out.
Zero RPM Fans- Having the ability to set fan profiles including a Zero RPM when at idle is great when you are not gaming.
Noise- Going back to fans even when I have pushed the card I to max the fan noise is noticeable but not so loud that it is a bother. Now if you have your PC right next to you it might be more noticeable, but I keep mine on the floor.
Directx 12/Vulkan APIs- With newer games moving from Directx 11 to 12 and Vulkan this card handles both great and was a focus on the RX480 card design.
Back Plate- This saves you from gpu sag, wish the back plate had a cooler design but seeing how I rarely see the card is is not a huge issue.
Power Draw- Needing only an 8 pin connection has been great compared to an 8 and 6 in my last card has been nice and. Now the reference card used a 6 pin but there was talks about using that pulled too much power from the pci express slot. Having the 8 pin should mitigate that.
Cons-
Lighting- I have never been a fan of LED lighting in my case, it would be nice to be able to turn off the glowing XFX logo.
Lack of Adaptors- There were no display adaptors in the box, would have liked maybe a Displayport to DVI or HDMI or even DVI to VGA. I understand cost cutting but just feels like not everyone has a Displayport cable/adaptor around.
Other-
Fan Swapping- This is a cool idea being able to swap fans to clean them or give them some of that LED glow. I have not had the card long enough to need to do this, but I do know that in graphic cards fan failure can be a lengthy RMA process. I hope that I do not have to use this feature though.
Future Proof- With the way AMD has had great driver improvements and Directx 12/Vulkan. With this older cards have gotten better compared similar Nividia cards. Will this continue? I hope so which is one reason I did buy this card knowing the support AMD has with its older cards.
There is no coil whine and the card in complete silence when not gaming (fans are stopped when running non graphic intensive applications). Regarding size, he has a small tower case and the card fits perfectly. I got the MSI RX480 Gaming X for myself, and the MSI one would not fit in my brother's case, the side panel would not close. On the other hand the MSI looks awesome on my bigger case.
About the looks of the card, it is all black and the XFX logo is a bit to left so it might not be visible in cases where the window is small. I know that most XFX 480 have the logo in the middle, that would have been nice. The design is the black plate is awesome, but since it is all black, it is barely noticeable from the case window once the case is closed. The fans are easy to remove and in the package it is mentioned that there will be available different colors of fans, so that the card can be customized.
In summary, the card performs well and is silent. The size is good for small cases. The card has nice physical details but since it is all black, they are not noticeable from the case window once the case is closed, maybe a bit of color would have been nice.
Batman plays on max, ROTR does too (lowered textures to very high) and MEC I left on auto because Hyper wasn't a fluid 60fps. Seems like a decent, solid card for 1080p so far, but I have to go through a few gaming sessions still. That said, I ran several benchmarks (UE4 Elemental and Kite demos, 3DMark Time Spy, Fire Strike, Unigine Heaven/Valley) and they were very smooth. Only the combined tests went down in fps like whoa, mainly due to my aging FX6300 which I hope to upgrade with either Zen or KBL in a the spring.
One "strange" thing I've noticed is that the image quality overall, looks much better and smoother than with my GTX770. I don't know how to explain this: on desktop, clearly I was always getting 60fps and I was using 4:4:4 with full RGB color, not limited. Yet, somehow, what my screen is displaying with this RX470 looks better. The image, colors, look more consistent, the mouse seems to move more fluidly. It makes no sense as desktop use shouldn't really see any improvement (the GTX770 obviously was lightyears ahead of what Windows 10 desktop requires), so I cannot explain it, but things look overall better. Even when playing a regular 1080p Youtube video, a level that the GTX770 is easily rated to handle, on fullscreen it would always have visible tearing, no matter what I did (even reinstalling Windows 10). That's now gone with the RX470, every video plays perfectly smoothly.
As for noise, my GTX770 playing Batman/ROTR was breathing like there was no tomorrow, pretty much a nuclear reactor in the room. SO loud. The RX470, on the desktop the fans are actually OFF, then they pick up when 3d rendering, and only when I was doing benchmark stress test did it kick to high gear. Even then, it's audible, but not bothersome - I could game without headphones no problem, which cannot be said for the GTX770 noise.
And, as for style, the heatpipes do look nice. Although I don't really care about that at all. One wrinkle I'd mention: when I took the GPU out of the box, the metal part you screw to the back of the case was a bit bent, so I had to straighten it with some pliers to be able to screw it in. Even then, it didn't really align to my case, so it was a 2 person job (my husband pushing the GPU outwards, me pushing the case end inwards) while I tried to screw it in. I only managed 1 screw, which is enough, but the other one was too misaligned. Not the best out-of-box experience, mind you, but it's a small inconvenience considering I won't move the GPU in 1 or 2 years.
So far it looks like a good choice for 1080p. I'm trying to figure out the Crimson and AMD control panels, specially to try custom resolution. I'm still figuring it out, it's very different to Nvidia's and some elements have different names, so it'll take me a bit to understand it all. Overall though, I'm satisfied. I've also spent the morning with the RX470 hooked up to my husband's new Dell SE2717HX, which is a basic, non-gaming monitor that supports Freesync over HDMI between 48-75hz. Not the greatest range, but it was enough to do some tests. The best experience I had was on Doom over Vulkan, although Batman and other games that ran at 55-60fps also saw improvement. I can only describe the experience as "smoother than smooth". There's 60fps VSYNC smooth, then there's Freesync smooth. It really was remarkable, made the image look much more real, solid, lifelike. Now, I probably wouldn't buy a monitor just for Freesync, unless the range were much improve, like 30-75fps where you'll definitely see the benefit more than this Dell's limited range.
