AMD announces RX 470 & RX 460

AMD has announced two more cards RX 470 and the RX 460.

The specs (unconfirmed) that we know so far for the RX 470 and RX 460 are shown below:

If you missed out AMD’s previous announcement about the $199 VR ready card, then you can find it in my previous post here. Now talking about the RX 470, it is meant for 1080p gaming @ 60fps (on a budget) while the RX 460 is suited for games with lower system requirements such as MOBA. The TDP for the RX 460 is speculated to be less than 75W and this is great for gamers who don’t have a beefy PSU and just looking to upgrade to a better GPU.

Personally, I think this was the right time for AMD to announce the RX lineup and I like the direction where they are headed this time. With the RX 480 priced at $199, the RX 470 and RX 460 would be priced lower, these would sell like hot cakes once launched.

Would you buy the RX 480, 470 or the 460? Or would you wait for Nvidia to release their new card? Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section down below.

Now that’s a brilliant move from AMD and I believe its going to sell like hot cakes. It will be officially launched on 29th June 2016. There will also a RX 480 8GB version which will be released later but its pricing is officially not out yet.

According to reports from gamespot and pcworld, the RX series of graphics card will support DirectX12, Vulkan gaming APIs, HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.3/1.4, HDR, and H.265 encoding/decoding.
