Sapphire AMD RX 470 Crossfire Graphics Card Review

Overclocking and Overclocked Performance
In contrast to the usual graphics card reviews, it’s not possible to display the boost clocks since it requires two instances of GPU-Z running in a full window. When switching from full-screen, the boost clock reduces and doesn’t provide accurate information. Nevertheless, I managed to overclock both cards individually and ensure they ran at their maximum potential. The first card was stable with a 1340MHz boost while the second card achieved a slightly higher 1345MHz figure. In both cases, the memory was set to 17950MHz.
3DMark
After the overclock was applied, the AMD RX 470 Crossfire achieved a stupendous graphics score and easily beat the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080. Pretty impressive for a setup costing around £320.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
In Rise of the Tomb Raider, the Crossfire configuration improved by a slight amount but it’s within a margin of error.
