Most Critical Review

BSoD's on simple tasking

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100406NT+4GOCL
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100406NT+4GOCL

Pros: Sweet LED's Quality Fans Low Temps Fast Speeds Sapphire Trixx Backplate For just under $180 it's a steal

Cons: BSoD's ~5 times a day with little to no tasking. Throw it into a game like CSGO and it'll lag during team fights, and at some points shortly after it lags... it'll bsod. Proven that it's this card by running it through 2 different computers with different combinations of parts. Threw away all the packaging because it was working when I first got it. Now it's not. Would not recommend.

Overall Review: Can't RMA it.

Pros: Super quiet, even when benchmarking. Easy OC Runs fast, runs most titles I throw at it $20 MIR was nice too

Cons: (title) -came with no backplate, kinda ridiculous at this price range. -huge (not too big fit in my case)

Overall Review: Probably not as good as a RX 480 in the same price range.
