Alleged Sapphire RX 470 Platinum & RX 460 Leaks

2016-07-27
new leaks from video cards is with the Z showed sapphires alleged RX 470 platinum edition and RX 460 probably night ropes as two fans these are leaks it's not guaranteed their real video cards has had a fairly reliable recent trend of leaks so we can probably assume with some reasonable possibility of these are actual cards so the RX 470 platinum edition is basically just from the looks of it the same sort of cooler design and face plate as the RX 480 reference card but change to be a platinum look so it's silver basically and the 460 as we've seen in the pictures anyway uses a dual fan cooler so it's dual push fans not a blower fan it's more comparable to the Nitro series I'm not sure if that's what it's actually going to be called and from looking at the board photos on the video cards leaks we can see that the 470 has a 4 plus 1 phase power design and well allegedly anyway based on the leaks and that is as opposed to the six plus one phase design of the RX 484 70s of course a weaker card so it makes some sense the power setup it's still a six pin header on the 470 and then of course it draws any extra power needs through PCIe that's pretty normal how these all these cards work and that's pretty much all we have in terms of specs from looking at the cards and we won't know more until of course the official product is actually launching in terms of the 460 there's even less information on that one did look like they were potentially two and four gigabyte models based on the video cards at leak which we've got that linked below if you want to see the source documentation for all of that and that's that's the most we got so the fans are the push fans and they might have that same sort of push a button and you can remove the fan mechanism that was in the 480 nitro which makes the RMA process a lot easier on manufacturers because often it's the fan that fails so they can just kind of swap out the fan send you a new fan then replace the whole board so we'll see if that's how it works out and these cards should definitely be in the 100 to 150 market currently that means they would compete with Nvidia's 950 and what's left of the 750 Ti but that's pretty much out the door at this point so it's basically competing with the 950 unless Nvidia comes out and surprises us with the 1050 announcement or something like that in which case that card would probably fit somewhere this is based on the pre and previous launch is not new information but somewhere in the 180 dollar range maybe as low as 150 I would not expect lower than that unless they plan to do a 1050 TI or something like that so we'll see we'll see how it works out with NVIDIA but as it stands now the 470 and 460 are definitely coming to market we've already talked about them the original release dates if you remember we're mid-july so that was after the 480 launched by a couple weeks and end of July obviously that did not happen and if july i think was the RS 460 mid was 470 so they've been pushed back we'll have more information for you shortly in theory on one of those cards come to market be reviewing them probably but that's all we have for you for now so thank you for watching as always patreon like the petrol video subscribe for more information I'll see you all next time
