AMD Radeon RX 480 overclocking tool leaked

22 June 2016
AMD Polaris - 14nm FinFET Radeon Graphics Architecture

The embargo for AMD’s Radeon RX 480 only expires on 29 June, but that hasn’t prevented a ton of leaked specifications and images of the Polaris card appearing online.

Although these details remain officially unconfirmed, gamers already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the Radeon RX 480.

According to a report by WCCFTech, a new overclocking tool which is set to launch alongside the Radeon RX 480 has been revealed.

The software was leaked in a stream testing the overclocking capabilities of the Radeon RX 480, and seems to be integrated into AMD’s Radeon Settings program.

Suprisingly, AMD’s new overclocking tool will enable voltage control, offering a host of new features over the current software overclocking options available to consumers.

It is unusual to see voltage control implemented in manufacturer-supplied overclocking software, as it is usually reserved for more advanced users to avoid gamers inadvertently damaging their video cards.
