AMD announces Radeon RX 470 and RX 460

Towards the end of the month, AMD launches the new Radeon RX series, which takes the company to 14 nanometers with the Polaris architecture. At Computex 2016, AMD announced the Radeon RX 480, which will offer VR-capable performance at a low price. Now the model will be joined by two other graphics cards in lower price ranges during the gaming fair E3.

For the second year in a row, AMD is holding the PC Gaming Show event and on stage Lisa Su is showing two new graphics cards – Radeon RX 470 and RX 460. Without going into further detail, she says that the first card is “ideal” for gaming in 1080p , while the other should provide good performance in MOBA games with a power consumption of less than 75 W.

In addition, AMD is holding tight to further details, but by all accounts, the RX 470 is based on a scaled-down variant of the Polaris 10 – the graphics circuit that is also used in the RX 480. is intended for laptops.

Current prices tell Lisa Su that the entire Radeon RX series will cover the price range of 99-299 dollars, where the lower amount probably applies to the Radeon RX 460. It is already known that the Radeon RX 480 will cost 199/229 dollars with 4/8 GB GDDR5, which suggests that the RX 470 lands at somewhere around $ 149. In terms of the higher amount, it is not yet known which model occupies that price point.

The launch of AMD Polaris takes place on June 29.
