There's just one more day to go until the Radeon RX 480 NDA expires but in the mean time there's a fresh load of leaks. VideoCardz spotted a Polish magazine already has some benchmarks of the Radeon RX 480.

The comparison isn't ideal as the CD-Action magazine compared the Radeon RX 480 with a factory overclocked Radeon R9 380X and a factory overclocked Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP! Omega at 1304MHz. In the 3D Mark tests, the performance seems similar to the GeForce GTX 970 OC, but in three gaming benchmarks the GTX 970 OC wins, especially at higher resolutions than Full HD.

The magazine also confirms earlier leaks about poor Radeon RX 480 overclocking performance, they say a 5 percent overclock causes severe artifacts in 3DMark, while 7 percent causes the system to freeze.
Polish magazine called CD-Action shares some information about RX 480 performance in three games, Metro Light Light Redux, Witcher 3 and World of Tanks.

  • ?rednie detale = Medium details
  • Bardzo wysokie detale = Very high details

    According to the review, 5% overclocking causes severe artifices in 3DMark, while 7% overclock causes system to freeze. Not a word about drivers uses though.
