ASUS RX 480 Overview

Based on AMD's Polaris architecture and AMD LiquidVR ready, the ASUS Radeon RX 480 Graphics Card allows you to have the full virtual reality experience.

Not only for gaming, the Radeon RX 480 supports APIs such as OpenCL and OpenGL. These APIs can take advantage of the GPU's 2304 Stream Processors to accelerate parallel computing tasks, taking some of the processing load off of the CPU.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are three DisplayPort 1.3 outputs in addition to an HDMI 2.0b output. Combined with AMD's Eyefinity, the GPU can provide an immersive gaming experience using multiple monitors.

For cooling, ASUS implemented a blower-style cooler. This cooling configuration is good for Crossfire or other configurations where space between computer components can be a concern.

AMD LiquidVR Ready
Experience the immersive world of VR gaming and entertainment. With Polaris architecture and AMD LiquidVR technology, this GPU is compatible with the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.
HDR Ready
This card is compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range) content. When paired with an HDR capable display, you'll be able to experience enhanced contrast and colors for a sharp, vibrant visual experience.
FreeSync Technology
Reduce screen tearing with AMD's FreeSync Technology. FreeSync enables the monitor to dynamically adjust its refresh rate to the frame rate being output by the graphics card, thereby greatly reducing screen tearing, stuttering, and other artifacts.
Eyefinity
With support for up to 4 monitors, AMD Eyefinity allows you to customize how your displays are shown on your desktop. Having multiple displays can not only make you more productivity, but can also provide an immersive gaming experience. If you're looking to stream online via Twitch, having a separate display for the twitch chat as well as the capture window for both your gameplay and webcam can facilitate the process.
CrossFire
Is one graphics card not enough? AMD's CrossFire works with compatible motherboards and allows you to install and combine up to two of the same GPUs to split the processing load and render graphics with improved frame rates and image quality for supported applications.

question

I thought these would be in stock by the 30th, what happened? I pre-ordered one expecting it to be here already and I find out you guys don't even have it. if it's going to take another month I'd like for my order to be canceled.
Asked by: Jacob G.
Sadly the demand for these cards are a bit high since it was released about a month ago, supply and demand issues. I ordered mine on the 28th of last month, and am still waiting as well, I just hope they get more in-stock very soon, the wait is killer.When I purchased this GPU on the 28th well more over pre-ordered it, it said on the buying page that more would be in-stock on the 29th. Looks like it's really a first come first serve type of deal. Just hope they get more in-stock very soon.
