AMD Polaris architecture – GCN 4.0

First RX460 benchmark

vXED1Tx.jpg

http://www.overclock.net/t/1602882/baidu-forums-rx460-benchmark

RX460 will expect to be the first card to use Polaris 11 chip.

RX460 score put Polaris 11 slight slower than GTX 950.

Well that looks like it's going to be underwhelming... if they want to continue with the good press from the RX 480, the RX 460 can't be priced above even £100. It's gotta be dirt cheap for it to sell well with that level of performance.

GTX 760 performance??
 
RX 470 and 460 specs showed up on Techpowerup GPU database.

RX 470 has 3.7 TFLOPs and 100W TDP, around 380X performance.

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2861/radeon-rx-470

RX 460 has 2.5 TFLOPs and 75W TDP, around same performance as 370X.

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2849/radeon-rx-460

Polaris look to be very underwhelming. Shocked AMD had learnt absolutely nothing from Radeon 285 Tonga massive failure at all. Nobody interested in energy efficiency 285 that had same performance as 280X but with few new features, AMD fans wanted more performance.

I think AMD is very nervous about Polaris now, they don't know if it will be successful or another failure like Tonga.

So 470 would be a more cut-down Polaris 10, while the 460 a full Polaris 11.

There's nothing 'disappointing' about any of these specs either, especially since we dont know prices. You are clearly trying way too hard with the anti-AMD stuff.

Lol?
It's going to be fine, it's being sold as a cheaper card. It's going to be used in consoles to an extent. Amd have always said it's NOT THE PERFORMANCE CARDS. People seem to be ignoring this

LOL Don't you understand yet? Polaris is aimed at mainstream and lower end of the markets. The ones you listed above are the budget low end cards and nobody expects any kind of performance from them.

You really need to try harder. This was a really shoddy attempt compared to your usual anti-amd drivel.

Amd need to make sure they aim where the money is made and thats exactly what they have done 100-300 usd bracket. How many ppl go on about AMD being doomed. Need to compete and need to start making money. Amd cleary are now trying to do this andnow people are like amd cant compete. Nvidia dominating. You do realise that highend isnt as profitable as the area amd are targeting.
Tinfoil hats on amd are done. Underwhelming lol

Not just that but weve seen nothing from vega yet.

Ellesmere XT: 1266Mhz
Baffin XT: 1400Mhz

So we know the P10 architecture is capable of at least 1400Mhz reference and the RX 480 is 90% of that, reference.

It would be great if they can do 1600Mhz overclocked.

You don't understand about Tonga that it is originally planned to aimed at high end, mainstream and lower end of the markets too. AMD launched the first chip R9 285 target at mainstream but it ended in massive failure so AMD decided to cancelled both Tonga 128 bit and 384 bit versions that never saw the light of day. R9 285 was the only first and final chip in Tonga family.

Did you just forget that the 380X which was released last year was a Tonga chip? Also Fiji is basically Tonga but with HBM.
 
The best case here is AMD are still trying to hide the performance of the chip and under playing it. As if it scored better in this than the gtx980/390x it would give away where it is performance wise. They did there best to hide the performance at Computex so why not here.

I just can't see it being this slow in real gaming or VR for that matter with them harping on about it all the time. Surely they have added in some new Vr tech to make things run faster like with Nvidia and twice the perf of Titan X.

Maybe there tag line will be even slower than the last performance segment cards yet similar in price.

Very underwhelming too little too late as usual for AMD, 1070 here I come when the prices settle. The problem they are going to have is 970/380 are very popular cards you look at Steam and Amazons top selling cards or any other retailer and the market for this performance range is already saturated in my opinion. And the extra VR performance you gain is going where? 1% of the market ironically or there about. I would be worried if I were AMD.
