Hello everyone and welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at AMDs RX480...and actually our first time looking at Polaris on the channel. So join me today as we find out is the RX480 actually any good? And should you take a chance on the old Budget King nearly 9 years after its original launch. So join me as we buy a questionable card, and see just what kind of performance we can get out of it!
