These sellers buy out all the stock from Amazon themselves, and then add 100 dollars to the price. The MSRP is 199 (4GB), and 239 (8GB). Don't get fooled into thinking you have to buy because of urgency. Wait till Amazon have them in stock. Even better... wait for the better cooled versions rather than the reference that will be around the same price as the reference. **Q: Can this run roblox at 60 fps?** A: oh boy it will run roblox at 1000 fps but roblox will not allow anything above 60 so yeah it 1000% will **Q: Is it safe to assume that this be compatible with the msi 970 gaming motherboard?** A: Yes. I actually have that setting.Check the pcparts website so you can run your build for compatibility issues. **Q: What type of motherboard is recommended. i have a rosewill srm 01 as my case ?** A: You need a PCI-E Slot and ideally a 16x slot (PCI-E 3.0). If you have an older motherboard, you probably can still slot it into that, but I would be careful and double check. I have mine in an older board as a holdover until I finish gathering the rest of the parts for a new build and it works alright for now. Regarding your case and how well it will fit, the short answer is: I don't know, you will have to do some measurements. The card description says its dimensions are 6.8" long by 4.6" wide (i.e. tall) so, you'll have to see if you have clearance for it inside the case. It will probably fit, but it will depend on where the motherboard sits and where the PCI-E slot is. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The MSI Rx 480 Gaming X 8GB GPU is amazing. Much better than my old MSI R9 380 *by on Reviewed in the United States February 27, 2017* The MSI Rx 480 Gaming X 8GB GPU is amazing. Much better than my old MSI R9 380. I can definitely enjoy my games pretty much maxed out at 1080p, and I absolutely enjoy it. I use Afterburner for a custom fan curve, and have noticed that even under heavy load, this RX runs much cooler than my old R9 did. The power consumption is much less that the earlier generation as well, which lends itself to the cooler performance.I am a huge "fan" of the MSI TwinFrozr cooling solution. It looks better than those on the competitor cards, such as ASUS or EVGA, and it super quiet.Yes, this card is a little large, but if you read the dimensions, you should be aware of its size. measure your case before hand. This is user issue, not MSI issue. This card is a little longer and wider than my R9 380, but it's not obnoxiously heavy.The lights on the card are cool. The R9 didn't light up along the edges of the cooler like this one does. I do wish I didn't have to use MSI Gaming App to control the LED though, since I cannot have Afterburner and MSI Gaming App working at the same time. Sorry MSI, but Afterburner is my app for fan curve and OC. I wish you'd have the app for LED only, so it wouldn't mess with anything else from Afterburner.I attached a picture of my Unigine Valley run. This is on stock FX 6350, no OC on either the CPU or the GPU. Haven't had time to mess with OC much, and can provide an update once Ryzen arrives.Great card. I will be purchasing another for Crossfire in the future.*** Update, so I did purchase another for Crossfire. I've been waiting on one last part to assemble my new PC. The only thing I'm dissappointed in isn't the product, but the reseller. They aren't supporting the AMD promotion for free Doom with purchase of an RX 480 GPU. Kind of wish I could return this and purchase through Newegg; however, after the cost of returning and the slightly higher price on Newegg, I could just buy Doom. Kind of lame. I contacted them, and they stated they don't support the promo.Otherwise, great products. MSI knows what they are doing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overclocks very well, was able to attain 1.4 Ghz on air cooling. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 20, 2016* First thing I did after installing all drivers was to see its overclock limits. So far I've been able to overclock:GPU: 1405mhzVRAM: 2200mhzCooling: AirCore voltage: 1250mVOriginal clock setting:GPU: 1303mhzVRAM: 2000mhzCore voltage: 1081mVIf you want to overclock this card past 1400mhz, make sure you put it on water cooling, and yes, it's true this card uses a huge amount of power if you decide to overclock it. It uses an 8-pin power connector so under full load, the original manufacture settings peaked at 180 watts (yes, I know they claim 150 watts, but real world reviews shows that these cards suck more power out of the PCIe slots than the claimed 75 watts).Overclocked, I was peaking at 270 watts under full load. I'm using a 725 Watt PSU (the 12 volt rail alone provides 576 watts - more than enough for both power hungry CPU and GPU) For some odd reason, this card begins to act weird near 60 degrees C. So your best bet is to keep it happy and cool below 55 degrees C. Make sure your fan speed settings are manually set according to temperature, the default zero-spin quiet operation on a card like this is a bad thing. It puts out tons of heat quickly. Within seconds it can shoot from 37 degrees C. to 55+ degrees.Overall it's an excellent card so far, the only thing is AMD isn't very keen on keeping bugs out of their drivers and utility software, but the hardware is fine. I've had my mouse pointer morph into some odd black box, then I googled and found out other people were having this problem too. I went directly to AMD's website and installed their latest drivers and that black box disappeared. Just make sure you're up to date (up to minute) with the drivers for this card, because it's kind of finicky. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64, btw. Just keep this furnace happy by keeping the fans spinning (NO ZERO SPIN! bad bad bad!) and drivers up to date. I keep mine at a minimum of 750rpm at all times. These fans can hit 2500-2600 rpm at full speed.As for overclocking software, I'm using MSI Afterburner, but I'm also using Crimson to turn on features like: AMD Freesync and Virtual Super Resolution. AMD has their own overclocking software that comes with the drivers called Wattman, but I'm experienced in overclocking with MSI's Afterburner so I use it instead.System specs:CPU: AMD FX8350 @ 4.2GhzRAM: Team Elite 4x4GB 1600mhzMOBO: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Rev. 4.0OS Boot Drive: Dual 256GB SSD in RAID 0Storage: WD 4TB and Hitachi 2TBCurrent GPU: MSI RX 480 Gamer X 8GBFormer GPU: EVGA GT 740 Super Clock 4GBPSU: Sentey XPLUS 725W ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMD + MSI = The Game Changer! This is the GPU we have been waiting for. *by on Reviewed in the United States October 7, 2016* Ordered 2 of these opposed to 1 MSI GTX 1070. I was hesitant at first due to the known compatibility issues with AMD cards over the years, but I have to say - Way to go AMD and MSI!!! MSI is by far the leading edge for Gaming GPU's right now. Love the Black/Red design and the RGB lighting, which you can set to any color, really sets this off in a nice case. The fans are the patented Twin Frozr fans and the are the quietest fans I have ever heard and they keep my GPU's at 40 - 53 degrees! Nice design, sturdy, reliable, the list could go on.Now the moment where this review can go either way. If you are looking to play games at 4K resolution with ultra settings, these cards are probably not for you. I was getting anywhere from 40 to 60 fps on a wide variety of titles (new and old). However for the price for 2 of these (roughly $550 after mail in rebate, hurry that will be ending soon) these do spectacular at 1080p and 1440p with all settings on ultra. If you are looking for 4K gaming go and spend more money on either a single GTX 1080 for $750 or buy 2 GTX 1070's for $900 or so. You will get roughly 60 - 90 fps at 4K with those setups.Now all in all for the value with these cards, this is the way to go for enthusiasts and professionals alike. I have no cons for this product because for $250 you can not find a better performing or even more appealing card than the MSI Gaming X RX 480 8GB you just can't. Oh and by the way being an AMD product you get to take full advantage of FreeSync technology. FreeSync is easily 2 to 3 hundred dollars cheaper than Gsync and in my actual and honest opinion works just as good. I currently use the Acer Curved 34-inch UltraWide QHD (3440 x 1440) Display with 21:9 Aspect Ratio (XR341CK) and OMG its amazing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/32493159-msi-gaming-rx-480-gddr5-8gb-crossfire-vr-ready-finfet](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/32493159-msi-gaming-rx-480-gddr5-8gb-crossfire-vr-ready-finfet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
