ASUS RX 470 STRIX 4GB

Brand new Dual-fan DirectCU cooler mounted on custom PCB.

XFX RX 470 4GB Black Edition

The RX 470 and RX 480 Black Edition are quite the same, except RX 470 is slightly narrower and has clearly visible copper heat pipe.

Sapphire RX 460 2GB Dual

This the same card that was leaked along with RX 470 Platinum edition. I don’t think Polaris 11 requires two fans, but maybe this card features 0db technology, thus larger heat sink.

Does the RX 460 allow analog signal through the DVI port? If it does, that'd be a great card to replace my dying HD 6870 in my web machine. I think that the part which controls the fans is broken, because it runs them at 100% all the time (3200 RPM) :D The RX 460 would be atleast much much quieter :sneaky:

I hate recycled naming/numbering conventions for video cards. Every time I see RX 470 or 460 my brain still sees GTX 470 or GTX 460 for a second.

Gooddy. Hope there's a MSI gaming. For other cards at least that seems to have the lowest noise levels

Not much getting around that. AMD and NVIDIA have already cycled through at least two complete naming convention cycles already.

AMD and Intel have already been using each others nomenclature for years just due to the sheer fact that there area only so many numbers you can use.

For desktop GPUs, AMD has used, in the modern era:

7x00
8x00
X300
X500
X600
X700
X800
X1100
X1200
X1300
X1500
2x00
3x00
4x00
5x00
6x00
7x00
8x00
2x0
3x0
4x0

NVIDIA has used in the modern era:
256
2
MX200
3
Ti200
Ti500
4
MX4x0
PCX4x00
Ti4x00
5x00
6x00
7x00
8x00
9x00
1x0
2x0
3x0
4x0
5x0
6x0
7x0
9x0
10x0

I think it's fairly common like Radeon 9800XT (2003), Geforce 9800GTX(2008)
GTX 280 (2008), R9 280 (2014)


I'm looking forward to some smaller 460s, like single slot, low profile, it should be possible, also the fact that the 460 is limited to PCIE x8 max, maybe they should try something...

that 460 with longer PCB than the reference 480 is... funny.

Are there any reviews on the 460\470 yet, I wouldn't mind seeing what HTPC cards can be produced on 14FINFET, passive cooling perhaps?

yeah, I'd like to see a passive-cooled 460. But I imagine an owner could do this themselves with a nice copper-aluminum heatsink and in a case that has a large fan or two that blow across the card.

If that 3gb 1060 is anything like the 6gb, it is probably a better solution for that purpose--though not at the likely price
