Overclockers.com · Dec 9, 2016

Today we will cover only our second Polaris 10 based card to date, another RX 480, but this time from Gigabyte. The Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 Gaming 8G brings a more robust VRM and newer Windforce cooler to keep things cool and quiet. Did I mention it has a sizable overclock from the factory? It does! If that sounds interesting, scroll on down, take a look at more details, and see how it performed in our testing suite!

Thanks, very informative. Would there be any reason for the 4G version to be less quiet?

Same exact cooler, I wouldnt think so, no.

Thanks. I see you use MSI's Gaming X in comparative tests and reviewed it back in August. Would you say the MSI cooler and power section are indeed better or not necessarily?

6 of one, half dozen of the other for ambient cooling. Both will easily take the core to its anciently cooled limit and not look back.
