AMD RX 470 & RX 460 Announced At E3, Launching With RX 480

AMD RX 470 & RX 460 Appear At E3, Launching With RX 480

AMD is announcing two additional graphics cards based on the 14nm FinFET Polaris architecture hither at E3, the Radeon RX 470 and RX 460. This is in addition to the Radeon RX 480 that the company announced a couple of weeks ago at Computex.

The Radeon RX 480 will provide what AMD describes as a "premium" VR experience for both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive head mounted displays and volition merely toll $199. The graphics card comes with even better depression level DirectX 12 and Vulkan API support via ntrinsic shader instructions and a comprehensive Async Compute implementation. In terms of I/O the card supports HDMI 2.0b and DisplayPort 1.3 & one.4. The card also features hardware h.265 encoding and decoding, enabling 4K streaming at threescore FPS.

AMD Announces The Radeon RX 470 And RX 460 Polaris Graphics Cards

The Radeon RX 480, RX 470 and RX 460 volition address unlike segments in the markets. The RX 480 is positioned as the almost affordable premium VR and 1440p gaming graphics menu. On the other hand, AMD is targeting what it calls "high definition" gaming with the Radeon RX 470. What that basically means is 60 FPS 1080p. The Radeon RX 460 which is the smallest member of the Polaris family that we've seen yet, nosotros're told is geared towards MOBAs such as League of Legends.

Raja Koduri, Senior Vice President & Principal Architect at AMD"due south Radeon Technologies Group had this to say about the RX 480 :

"Gamers and consumers today are being left backside. Today only the top 16 percent of PC users can beget GPUs that deliver premium VR and gaming experiences. Hundreds of millions of gamers accept been relegated to using outdated technology. Notebook gamers are ofttimes forced to compromise. And tens of millions more tin can simply read about incredible PC VR experiences that they can't enjoy for themselves. That all changes with the Radeon RX Serial, placing compelling and advanced high-end gaming and VR technologies within reach of everyone."

Lisa Su confirmed that the 14nm FinFET powered Polaris based Radeon RX 400 serial will address a wide range of market segments and needs. From a price indicate as depression every bit $99 and every bit loftier as $299. We've yet to run across AMD'due south $299 graphics production, what is presumably going to be called the RX 490. AMD is keeping its cards close to its figurative chest but at that place'southward little doubt that equally nosotros get closer to the June 29 launch date that we'll acquire more about the company'southward RX 400 serial lineup. Including the $299 graphics graphics card that the company has even so to announce. We'll make sure to update you every bit soon as we larn more than, and then stay tuned.
