AMD還表示，所謂RX 480會損壞主板或其他硬件的說法是無稽之談。

這應該不叫做正常吧?

1. 性能優化是基於比原先更高的功耗和頻率, 只是由主機板抽的電力大幅下降, 整體功耗還是上升

2. 開啟compatibility mode後功耗頻率和性能都下降了.

基本上就只是透過驅動程式去改變電力抽取的來源而已, 其他就是頻率遊戲, 拉高頻率增加性能.


16.7.2 主要還是在修復bug, 也沒什麼改.
希望下一個大改版本可以看到真正的優化, 不是玩頻率增減而已.

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.
