UPDATE: The AMD Radeon RX 480 is now launched and Philippine pricing has been revealed at an average of Php14,500 for the 8GB version with both XFX and Sapphire being listed at the price. Seller postings have not yet surfaced but some retail people have already began taking orders with shops also revealing prices via phone inquiry.
AMD’s Radeon RX 480 has been teased to be readily available here in the Philippines when it comes out this June 28 (29 in PH). Recent social media postings have confirmed the availability of at least one brand of the GPU.
Prices and store availability will be posted in another update.
Performance benchmarks for the RX 480 leaked days before its release. The benchmarks shows that the RX 480 is on par with the GTX 980 and the R9 Fury.

Nvidia is excellent but I still think their GPUs are ridiculously overpriced. Good move AMD. I wish they will have a good comeback this year.
we need new processors from them too
yep! Let’s hope they will be as good back in the Phenom days.
Not to mention the new nvidia cards have problems now.
Whats wrong with the new nvdias?
SLI Problems
I never heard of this SLI problems. what are the reports saying?
crash,bugs
Lol. It depends.
Walang lumalabas sa display at a certain frequency.
Here it is but it seems it’s only for those using DVI connectors.

I’ll look into this. Thank you
This is nice.
Is it advisable to upgrade from gtx 970 to rx480? I’m using fx-8350…
hold on to it for now and let’s wait for benchmarks 😀
Thanks a lot~ I will wait for benchmarks on your blog~ ☺
What processor is the ideal partner for this RX 480? my current cpu is i3-6100
that’ll do fine, its still going to be game-dependent but from personally testing, that should work well
I’m sure that’s good enough but for sure the processor will be a bottleneck.
It’ll bottleneck on AAA and high-res games definitely so you need to really weigh your options like if you buy games at full price like AAA titles, Rise of the Tomb Raider for example, it tends to bottleneck on dual-core CPUs but for games that don’t its going to be smooth and there are plenty of games out there that deliver nicely on lower CPUs
How much do you guys think it’ll be??
Best estimate I have is 13500… let’s hope its lower
How about RX 470? it will be available too on launch day?
Sana ok
the price is..???? 40k+ or –
Hopefully less than 13,500 for the RX 480
buti nalang at ndi ganung kamahal ^_^
Can I xfire the 480 with an r9 fury?
Seth Masocol
Benta n ntin?
bottleneck procie ko haha
depende sa game yan. :p ako nga g3258 + gtx970.. ok naman ah.. hahah!
I’ll be waiting for your review on 480 then i’ll buy 1060 XD
How much is it going to cost?
Gagana ba amg rx 480 sa a8 7600 ko? I need help.
yes gagana siya. but magkakaroon ng bottleneck. dahil hindi ganun ka powerful yung a8. medium settings parin sa new games un. i suggest na mag upgrade ka muna ng cpu. either fx or intel skylake
Thank you sir sa pag reply. i5 6600k para sa mobo ko, gigabyte GA-F2A88xm hd3. Or change ko rin mobo ko sir? Salamat masyado
Sorry pero magpapalit ka ng mobo dahil di compatible ung i5 6600k or any other intel cpus sa mobo mo na fm2. Kailangan mo ng lga 1151 na mobo kung yang cpu na ayn ang gagamitin mo 😀
I hope 10 – 13k an g price.
does this go well with i5-3470?
Ang Sapphire RX 480 about 14800 daw ang price, nagtanong ako sa retailer dito samin. how true? btw hoping nasa 13k ang max niyan.
Hi guys! I was planning to upgrade from an i3 2100 to an i3 6100. Namention nyo na mabbottleneck ang RX 480 sa i3 6100. Depende sa games of course, pero let’s say I’m playing a game na bottlenecked nga ang 480. Sa tingin nyo by how much % ang mababawas sa performance? Like, 10% less than maximum performance or something? Hindi naman siguro aabot ng 50% no?
Low budget kasi ako these days. I know sobrang luma na ng proccy ko (with an R9 270 which was recently busted; and 8 GB RAM), pero just to give you guys an idea on my usual game settings (like Witcher 3, AC: Syndicate, Fallout 4 etc.) most of the time my settings are on High, some games on medium.
Thanks for any info you guys might be able to share!
Hi!
Ang term na “bottleneck” is very loosely used nowadays. Kahit anong hardware pwede maging bottleneck depende sa game. May mga games na CPU intensive may mga games na GPU intensive. For the most part, wala kang problema with the i3. Although kung lalaro ka na ng games na medyo AAA na (witcher, gta V, Crysis 3) it could be a bottleneck. Not sure kung gaano kalaki ang performance drop since wala akong i3, pero expect na hindi smooth all the time ang experience.
Pero merong rule na nagsasabing the higher the resolution of your monitor, the lower the CPU usage. So kung 720p ang native resolution mo, expect na mabobottleneck yung cpu mo dahil konti lang ang load ng GPU kasi konti lang rin ang kailangan nyang i.render. Isipin mo na lang ang ganitong analogy. Si CPU yung nag-uutos kay GPU kung ano i.render. Pero kung mas mabilis mag trabaho si GPU kesa mag-utos si CPU, you have a bottleneck kasi naka depende yung performance sa kung gaano kabilis mag-utos si CPU kay GPU.
I can say na sa witcher 3, hindi mo talaga masusulit ang 480 dahil sa i3 mo assuming tama yung mga rumors about sa speed ng 480 na gtx 980 stock ang performance. Ang witcher 3 kasi is both CPU and GPU intensive kaya magkakaproblema ka talaga kung mahina ang alin man sa dalawa. I think you should just save for an i5 to see a bigger performance increase. I.sunod mo nalang yung GPU dail hindi naman yan mawawala eh, mumura pa yan as time goes by so mas better.
Thank you sir, good read.
Thanks for the insight!
hahaha lol yang i3 na yan kayang i high settings yang witcher 3, gta v at crysis 3 mo basta 1080p lng pero depende na sa gpu. sa benchmarks naman ng 480 kayang high ultra yang 3 eh. kaya ok lng yan.
tapos pala 6th gen pa yang i3 oh. un lng di furureproof yan. baka after 1-2 years di na kaya nung processor ung mga lalabas na laro
ayaw mag release ng local distro natin ng mga Athlon X4 series ng processors… 😀 , we don’t need your APU’s haha
laki ng patong ahh hahaha
BOC be like “pag meron ka meron din dapat ako”
+5K sa expected. xD Mervin Babiano Charles Limuel M Andres
aw
totally 😀
50%?! ahahaha
70? isn’t that supposed to be around 200 usd? 9k? maintindihan ko pa kung around 11 – 12k pero 14.5k? mehh… nvm ahaha 😀
ang kati neto pero expected it around 15k na rin
kung hnd lalyo price ng 1060.. 1060 pa rin ako XD
i expected it to be around 15k, so i guess over expectations pa rin pala, haha… will weigh this in, let’s see how the ones with aftermarket cooling would be priced
kung meron kayo kilala na nasa middle east na pauwi na… pabili nalng kayo sa kanila pa hand carry natin XD
mas mahal sa Middle East bro tsaka baka ma-late release sila, no idea really pero kung mas mababa or mas sulat deal dun GO FOR IT
they said the 8gb would be around $230-$250 so convert + tax. tama lang yung price
Any news sa custom(non founders) gtx 1070 cards?
ung 4gb 256 bit ung sinasabi nila XD ung 8gb cguro mga 320 usd ung price nya sa pinas 🙂
So yung 4gb yung expected na around 15k? Masakit haha. Kala ko pa naman e around 10k lang.
Kaya mahal na mahal ko ang pilipinas e
UnRavioli Sarcophagus 26500 yung MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G, yung Zotac 1070 AMP! Edition same price din
Anyare? Parang founder’s lang rin yung price
paniguradong mga 13.5 to 15k yan sa simula. tas baba yan after ilang months. mas lalo na pag mas malakas ung 1060 hahaha
That’s for 8gb I think.. Pero pag 4gb models mga 11-12k.
yup 8gb, well i hope you’re right about the 4gb but we haven’t received news for it yet
8gb variants price is $229 which equivalent to 9.8k – 10k php .. tpos 14.5k bentahan d2 ?? laki ng patong ahh … 12.5k – 13k is the most reasonable price in my opinion
Same prob here. Ang laki ng patong 14950 nga dito e. Almost 16!!! Grabe
$ to Php = 46.98 as of 6/29/72 so na.a $308.64/pc. unsa man pasabot ani mao na ang SRP?? u mao pa ang tax gi patung? ug unsa mani overprice raman tingali ni sa $199~$230? ngutana lang hha 🙂
Mahal daw ang shipping ug sa custom. Chitae. Hahahha
pass muna sa RX 480.
<3 Sweet post
hehe kakaupgrade ko lng kasi last march ng GTX 980
I thought $229 ang MSRP for 8gb and $199 ang 4gb?
Awesome:)
239 brad. mura pa rin. isipin mo ung 4gb e wlang 10k. di sya panapat sa 1080 pero bakit mo kelangan ng 1080 kung may mas mura naman kayang gawin yung gusto mo
Patrick Cervatos Richard Eirn Bacay
Crossfire ba tohl?
Hahaha
Mahal paden pala ahahahahahahaha
That’s way off the MSRP if it’s only for the 4GB variant. And it’s not even the OEM variants. I guess I kind of expected this at launch. But still, way off. The 4GB is exoected to be 200USD and the 8GB one is to be somewhere around 230-250USD. OEMs of course, will be priced differently and slightly higher.
WTF from $200 to 14,500php?
lovely information
Dennis Hernandez Roji Orobia $200 pa more hahahaha. sana manlang kahit yung 4gb variant yung $200 haha
still to expensive :”(
Agreed… Awesome info thanks
9K to 15K.
Nice, lupet talaga sa pilipinas. Tapos yung mga kinita sa mga tariff eh napupunta lang sa bulsa ng isang tao ng gobyerno. Nice nice.
<3
Nice info I really love
Okay lang ba to sa i5 4440 ko? Please reply 🙂 thanks
