The RX 470 is the second Polaris based 14 nm graphics card released by AMD this year. The 470 follows hot on the heels of the hugely successful (though still mostly unavailable) RX 480. Based on specs the RX 470 has approximately 10% less processing horsepower than the RX 480. Looking at provisional average benchmarks (we only have three samples of the RX 470 at this time) of the RX 480 and RX 470 shows that the performance gap is just a few percent. This performance gap will likely widen as we get a more representative number of samples of the RX 470 but the fact that custom design 470s are already available will likely keep the gap between the 480 less than 10%, at least until custom 480s make it to market. The list prices of both the 4GB RX 480 and RX 470 cards are within 20 USD of each other so AMD have basically re-released the 480 at a slightly reduced price with slightly reduced specs, strange but true! ^{[Aug ’16 GPUPro]}

The RX 460 is the third Polaris based 14 nm graphics card released by AMD this year, it follows the 470 and 480). The Polaris 11 GPU which drives the RX 460 is around 50% less powerful than the Polaris 10 GPU used by both the RX 480 and RX 470. Looking at the provisional average benchmarks (we only four samples of the RX 460 at this time) of the RX 460 and RX 480 shows that the performance gap of 50% percent is in line with the specs. The RX 460 is available with custom coolers from launch and it comes in both 2GB and 4GB varieties. With list prices starting from $120 for the 2GB variant the RX 460 offers decent value for money at the lower end of the graphics card spectrum. The 4GB version is somewhat poor value for money at the $150 price point since an RX 480 is only an additional $50 for double the performance. See the current value for money leaders here. ^{[Aug ’16 GPUPro]}

AMD Radeon RX 470 available August 4th

Starting with RX 470. This is the second Polaris 10 board with 4 Compute Units disabled. That said we have 32 Compute Units and 2048 Stream Processors in total. The GPU also has 128 texture units (TMUs) and 32 ROPs. The GPU clock speed is 926 MHz, boosting up to 1206 MHz. This results in a maximum compute performance of 4.9 TFLOPs.

According to the slides RX 470 will be available with 4GB GDDR5 memory, but AIBs may offer 8GB variants if they want to. The bandwidth is 211 GB/s thanks to full 256-bit interface and 1650 MHz memory clock. Typical board power is 120W (RX 480 has 150W), which theoretically means that single 6-pin power connector should deliver more overclocking headroom than RX 480.

According to AMD, RX 470 delivers ‘brilliant HD Gaming’ experience, so I’m guessing this card is aiming at 1080p resolution. It should be 1.5 to 2.4 times faster than R7 270 in certain games according to AMD.

AMD Radeon RX 460 available August 8th

The RX 460 is designed for e-sports gaming.
