As you can see, the GPU clocks down 66 MHz (variable) to be able to meet the temperature target.

We are stressing with 3DMark FireStrike scene 1 looped. As you can see below, once the card reaches its maximum temperature threshold of 80 Degrees it will start throttling on the boost frequency as well as voltages and fan RPM. With today's graphics cards, please make sure your PC is well ventilated at all times, this will seriously help you on the overall GPU temperatures.

The new card works with a temperature target much like Nvidia uses. We note down the hottest GPU reading, not the average. Radeon RX 480 - The temperature under heavy game stress for the card stabilized at a maximum of roughly 83 Degrees C.So with the card fully stressed we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU temperature. I cannot, will not, use this site anymore. Dont use Userbenchmark as they tell you BS. They only trash on AMD and favor Nvidia and Intel, who make (slightly) worser products or an equivelant of AMDs offer. This review of the RX 480 : AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB review - Graphics card temperaturesĬopied from the above linked review concerning temperatures: 1 review NL AMD isnt trash, Userbenchmark Userbenchmark is maybe one of the worst CPU/GPU comparison sites in existence. This previous thread may help from AMD Forums : What is the maximum safe operating temperature of the RX 480? Best to use something like HWMonitor or something similar or AMD Wattman for the most accurate temperatures for your AMD RX 480. But I wouldn't trust SPECCY Temperature accuracy too much. SPECCY is an excellent program to let you know what hardware and software you have installed in your computer if you didn't know.
