I no longer believe that consumers should be worried about the stability of their PCs running the RX 480 with the 16.7.1 driver installed.

Conclusion: Operation Successful, Patient Lives

AMD really delivered on a driver update that overrides the BIOS defaults to relieve the motherboard slot without a performance loss, and with only a slight increase in total power consumption.

This was really well done, and we have to wonder why the Radeon RX 480 wasn’t configured this way originally.

AMD Releases PCI-Express Power Draw Fix, We Tested, Confirmed, Works

Here you can see that the new driver adds about 2.3% performance, which is a pretty decent improvement. Once you enable Compatibility Mode though, performance goes down slightly below the original result (0.8% lower), which means Compatibility Mode costs you around 3%, in case you really want to use it.

I do not recommend using Compatibility Mode, personally I don't think anyone with a somewhat modern computer would have run into any issues due to the increased power draw in the first place, neither did AMD.

It is good to see that AMD still chose to address the problem, and solved it fully, in a good way, and quick.
