AMD Radeon RX 460 & RX 470 Preview

2016-07-29
so I know recently the hub channels been flooded with expensive high-end GTX 1080 and 1070 graphics cards but believe me guys I do love the Affordable mid-range to low-end stuff as well over the years I've spent my fair share of time playing with the budget GPUs so I'm excited to be talking about the RX 460 and act for 17 these are of course the younger siblings of the hype machine that is the RX for Eddie those hoping not to break the bank on their next graphics card purchase may well be looking into one of these two products will start from the bottom drake style with the RX for 60 this one's particularly interesting because it's the first car being released that will use a playa sleeve and chip which AMD hope will be powering the portable gaming market tuned to the 460 is touted as their esports gaming card many of suits games that I'm very demanding but it's still extremely popular like League of Legends dota csgo rocket League and the like for a company seeking to reclaim market share having the best value option for these games that are the most popular in the world seems like a great strategy the Polaris 11 GPU used will employ 14 compute units for 896 stream processors 48 TM use and 16 arrow keys and the clock speed to be set at a beach frequency 1090 megahertz but will be able to boost as high as twelve hundred megahertz the result is 2.2 teraflops of compute performance when boosted the RX 460 will be available in either 2 gigabyte or 4 gigabyte capacities using gddr5 memory clocked at 1750 megahertz which provides 7 gigabits per second throughput performance that said a slim 128-bit y memory bus is being used and the memory bandwidth is limited to just 112 gigabytes per second finally this is expected to be a 75 watt max part so it shouldn't even require a 6-pin PCIe power connector in terms of performance I'm expecting the RX for 60 DB slightly faster than the Radeon r7 370 in fact it should slot right in between the 370 and 370 x those models released with an MSRP of 150 and 180 us respectively today the most affordable r7 370 cards cost 120 bucks so I expect the RX 462 coming in around a hundred dollars hopefully a little south of that figure now looking to the RX 470 the smallest flies 10-part here we fight a GPU with 32 compute units enabled this means in total there are 2048 SP us along with 128 TM use and 32 are Opie's that's just an eleven percent reduction in cords when compared to the RX for 80s so I don't expect the RX for Sony to be a great deal slower the AMD specification see the RX for seven o'clock to just five percent slower as well when comparing the booze clocks the base clock has been set in 928 megahertz but it can boost up to 1200 six megahertz depending on the workload this means it's up to 4.9 teraflops to compute power and offer or 3.8 teraflops we're not raining at the base frequency it appears they'll only be a 4 gigabyte option for the RX 470 which in my opinion is great news this GPU will be too slow to utilize an a giga byte buffer while it's too fast to be paired with just 2 gigabytes of memory the gddr5 memory is clocked at just 16 50 megahertz though which will allow for a throughput of up to 6.6 gigabits per second the same 256-bit memory bus of the RX 480 is of course being used here so the bandwidth is rather impressive 211 gigabytes per second the RX 470 is a 120 watt part which is rather large twenty percent reduction from the RX for eddie i assume we'll see a single 6-pin PCI power connector on the same day reference card now in terms of performance I don't expect the RX 470 to be more than ten percent slower than the RX for 80s mentioned the average could quite possibly be even less this means we should again be seeing I know 390 like performance the arcs 470 will certainly be faster than the I know 380 x given the 4 gigabyte r x 480 is a two-hundred-dollar part it would make sense to see the arcs 470 prices around 170 dollars quite a few people are suggesting an MSRP of 150 bucks at that price I feel AMD would risk cannibalizing their own sales of the RX for Eddie still if this is true it'll be amazing news for those on the hunt for a sub $200 GPU what do you guys think of these upcoming AMD parts let me know in the comments I'm Yost matters always and I'll see you guys next time youtubers like me depend on your support to continue improving the quality and content of our videos to support the channel directly consider becoming a patron to also get access to a heap of cool rewards and exclusive giveaways also don't forget you can check prices and buy the products I looked at in this video through the amazon links in the video description below thank you kindly for supporting me and the hardware own box channel it means lot to me and I really do appreciate it and in return I'll continue to work as hard as I can to keep producing the content you enjoy
