Radeon RX 480 vs Radeon Pro Duo
Summary
Reasons to consider Radeon RX 480 |
200 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon Pro Duo . |
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
Supports FreeSync |
Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports TrueAudio |
Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon Pro Duo |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
