AMD's rx4 ad was the first sound of the polaris trumpet and it was about time a card from the red team that appeared competitive not by itself but when Kross fired as 2rx for abs and crossfire will likely compete with a single gtx 1070 and at around the same price point if you haven't yet seen my coverage of the forehead you can check it out in the card above me AMD's told me they're sending one to the studio so I expect to be able to put that thing head-to-head against this r9 390 lurking in the rig behind me however for those still rocking those 1080p monitors I mean even I do this one's a 1080p ultra wide and our X 480 might be a bit overboard but what about those of us looking for more relaxed let's take things a little slower graphics cards well AMD has two solutions for you the RX 470 and the RX 460 this video is covering the 470 but if you're interested in the 460 you can check it out in more detail in the card above me so what's with this leaked info first off I should disclose the fact that these these data that you're about to see are not to confirm they could be completely made-up these people might just be making up these these results just for the sake of attention and if that's the case shame on them but for the sake of this video we will rely on this data because this at this point is all we have to go off of the source of these benchmarks is tweakers a dutch technology website they claimed AMD as quote-unquote released the benchmarks you're about to see but I'll let you be the judge of that Andy themselves haven't said much in regards to either the 470 or the 460 save a few lines of hype and a fancy debut of the cards design and then we have two other cards here which are pretty exciting as well we have the RX 470 and the RX 460 the 470 is really focused on excellent performance per watt so it's 2.8 x over the previous generation and you get full HD experiences 1080p you running 60 frames per second gorgeous card will have many many different versions of this from our adding board partners and then we have the 460 which is really focused on eSports so I heard about all those eSports fans in the audience this guy is going to be the best card in the industry less than 75 watts cool fast I think you're going to love these cards so we're really excited about our new technology here without further ado here are the purported benchmark okay so let's discuss what we just saw VR explore 70 is by no means a powerhouse and it was never meant to be however what we can discern from these graphs is that the 470 is a much better performer obviously then it's 270 X and 370 counterparts starting with fire strike the 470 received a score that was just over 57 percent higher than the 270x at 9090 versus 5700 87 this also places the rx 470 above the r9 380 and 380 X and just under the 390 at 10,000 420 oh and did I mention at a price tag substantially lower than all of them in games hitman ashes of the singularity and overwatch the 470 wipe the floor with the 270x Yuting significantly higher frame rates across the board all of this while maintaining a much smaller thermal footprint at 110 watts TDP versus the 270 X's 180 it makes sense now why the 470 reference card only features a single 6 pin power connector impressive performance and efficiency from AMD's Polaris 10 GPU now at first at least from my personal point of view the 470 appeared to be a distant child of the 4 80s longing for the attention that the 40 will likely receive thanks to its competitive price point and performance however things change for me today after looking at these benchmarks assuming that they're relatively accurate here's what sealed the deal for me the RX 470 specifications and all honesty aren't far off on the 480 s either so it makes sense I made accurate predictions about the 480 St flop value right at 5.5 and I expect right under 5 teraflops of floating-point performance for the 470 I'll say 4.8 for now memory bandwidth is also slightly diminished at 224 gigabits per second although it's unlikely you'll ever notice this gameplay now as for price WC CF tech and others are expecting the 470 to retail for around 150 US dollars about the same price as a current r7 370 the 470 s older sibling at this price point and level of performance we're looking at double the performance of the r7 370 for the exact same price 1.8 3 times the performance to be exact the same can be said in terms of the r9 270x as well I predict a great deal of competition from the red team this year as well as the next now fans of the green I hear you either of invidious current flag ships would blow these from AMD out of the water but Amy hasn't released their top tier card yet either don't be so quick to judge just yet if you like what you've seen in this video give it a thumbs up give it doesn't feel the complete opposite or if you hate everything about life be sure to clear a penny have it already stay tuned for future AMD build here on the channel it's design studio thanks for learning with us you
