XFX to offer RX 480 with 1328 MHz clock

XFX is preparing two or three RX 480 cards for launch, all equipped with reference cooler. The so-called Black Edition OC (RX-480M8BBA6) will feature backplate and factory-overclocked configuration to 1328 MHz (this card is also bundled with DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter). The second XFX Black Edition model (RX-480M8BFA6) will ship with slightly lower 1288 MHz clock, which is still 22 MHz above the specs.

XFX RX 480 Black Edition OC was tested by a member of Baidu, who took it for a spin with Fire Strike, Fire Strike Stress Test, GTA 5 and some Chinese MOBA game I don’t recognize.

Let’s move on to SteamVR benchmark. According to AMD, Radeon RX 480 scores 6.3 points in this benchmark. Meanwhile ‘gasolina’ achieved 6.8 points at stock and 7 points with some overclocking (1315 MHz). So it means that Radeon RX 480 is no longer just VR-capable, but also VR-Ready.
