Radeon's New Graphics Card Boosts Virtual Reality Computing Performance
Rahul Kalvapalle — June 10, 2016 — Tech
If you happen to be in the market for a new graphics card, you can certainly do a whole lot worse than consider the Radeon RX 480, a product that is designed to enhance virtual reality performance.
Available for a price of $199, this new graphics card is about equivalent to a $500 graphics processing unit in terms of virtual reality performance, and is based on technology that will increasingly be harnessed and relied on by content developers over the coming years. Indeed this is the first graphic card to use Radeon's proprietary, high-performance Polaris architecture.
The Radeon RX 480 is an excellent example of a computing product that is designed bearing in mind the technological needs and standards of the future rather than the past and present.
