Rumor comes from VC. Good way to counter the GTX 1050 Ti.

Seems good

Can link allegedly scores since i already had them posted in a other thread.

This was my theory as well. 1792SP has already been announced for Pro cards, might as well make a consumer version fight the 1050 Ti since lowering 470 price to compete isn't necessary since it's faster.

Ummm....Did you guys notice their source (XFX webpage) already updated to 2048 SPs?

Still doesn't make sense though, nothing different except the number of SPs and a backplate.

Sorry didn't read the article, when is the suspected launch date? The 480 looks good against the 1060 on those charts, I figured the AIB models would do much better then the stock.

I want the D!

 

[truckerCLOCK]

I want the D!

LOL... I bet you do!!!

 

[crisium]

Hmm, maybe not after all then if it was just a typo. I guess 1050 Ti will have its price point market to itself, unless AMD wants to mark down 470 to really provide the bang for the buck, which would be great for consumers anyway.

Looks like the second link is dead now, so I'm guessing this whole thing is just a typo taken wildly out of context.

Haha, and here I thought it was NV giving it's buyers the D. Haha.

According to a new article in VC, the new 470D appears to be a China exclusive, at least for now.

[nathanddrews]

Nevermind, I no longer want the D.

 

[railven]

Nevermind, I no longer want the D.

Well if it's for the Chinese market, wouldn't be more of a lower case d? huehuehue

 

[ConsoleLover]

I still want the D, but its only for China, so no D for me. It would have been great for around $150 for sure. Since the RX470 4GB is now supposedly lowered to $170, $150 for a RX 470D 4GB would be amazing.
