AMD At E3 2016 announces the RX 460 and RX 470 graphics cards, accompanying the VR ready RX 480 at launch this coming June 29th of the year. This puts AMD right into the budget, mainstream, and VR gaming with 3 cards under 200 USD.
Official pricing for the recently revealed cards are still unknown, but since the RX 480 is a card built for 200 USD, we are guessing that the RX 470 will retail for 150 USD, while the RX 460 will retail for 100 USD. That’s an educated guess of course, as these market segments are the most profitable ones. It is also note worthy to add that AMD is finalizing a 300 USD graphics, which is most probably the RX 490.
Not much information has been divulged so far when it comes to the specifications, but this is what we know: The RX 470 is set to take 1080P gaming at 60 FPS, has a Polaris 10 PRO GPU, and will feature a compact PCB with a single 6-pin power connector. The RX 460 on the other hand, is a graphics for eSport, and MOBA games – so we are expecting that this card will also boast 1080P performance well above 60 FPS too, under those games or segment. The RX 460 appears to be smaller than the RX 470, without a visible power connector based on the first shot of the PCB. Suffice to say the card will feature a 75W TDP and perhaps, lower.
