http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-480-polaris-10,4616-9.html
"There’s no doubt that Polaris is more efficient than its predecessors. However, the design's efficiency isn't what enthusiasts might have been hoping for. The Radeon RX 480 significantly exceeds its official TDP. Moreover, distribution between the motherboard’s PCIe slot and the auxiliary power connector isn't optimal either. It’s up to AMD’s partners to design cards without these shortcomings."

Hopefully custom boards will take care of this.
This review even pointed out that if AMD used an 8-pin power connector instead of 6, this issue would be avoided.

TDP != power consumption.
How the fuck can you be stupid enough to not know what TDP is but then talk shit?

KEK, fucking normies.

I believe tomshardware is the only one experiencing this and AMD has contacted them about the issue.

I am sorry your motherboard does not have a premium audio sub system.

Kek, what a joke!
They really try to bait normies as hard they can.

Yeah, seen them.
That would actually be a nice mod for a Audigy or related.

TDP = power consumption.
ALL the power in electronic appliances is converted to heat energy. Unless you have LEDs, then some of which is emitted as light, which eventually becomes heat when it hits your eyes or walls.
Also radiated energy but that is very very low.

Theres an Asus 960 that also draws power above PCI-E spec
If all cards were like that, AMD wouldnt even be able to call them PCI-Express. Toms prob got a faulty card or their tests are particularly sensitive about this stuff
