Amd radeon rx 470 performs like a geforce gtx titan

We continue talking about the new AMD Polaris graphics cards and more specifically the Radeon RX 470 that promises to offer a relationship between price, performance and consumption that we have not seen for years, if it has ever been seen.

AMD Radeon RX 470 technical specifications and first leaked benchmarks

This new AMD card will be one of the queens for gamers who use screens with 1080p resolution since it offers more than enough power to enjoy games at this level of definition with very remarkable and even maximum levels of detail. The AMD Radeon RX 470 includes an AMD Polaris 10 Ellesmere PRO GPO with advanced 14nm FinFET manufacturing processing for excellent energy efficiency, this new card operates at a base frequency of 1206MHz and is accompanied by 4/8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 224 GB / s and a 256 bit bus. Its high efficiency allows it to offer a 110W TDP and operate only with a 6-pin PCI Express power connector.

First off we have a leak from AMD Performance Labs comparing the RX 470 with the aging R9 270X (180W) in the 3DMark Fire Strik benchmark and Hitman, Overwatch, and Ashes of the Singularity games. The Radeon RX 470 can double the performance of the R9 270X in Hitman while in the other two it is very close to achieving it.

We now turn to 3DMark Fire Strike and see how the new card from AMD shows a sensational performance when outperforming the Radeon R9 380X and the GeForce GTX 780, as if that were not enough, it is practically equaled with the Radeon R9 290 (275W) and GeForce GTX Titan (250W) which it surely overcomes without problems with a slight overclock in its core based on the GCN 4.0 architecture.

The AMD Radeon RX 470 will arrive for an approximate price of 150-180 euros so we are facing a unit with an unbeatable price / performance ratio that will give more than a headache to Nvidia and its GeForce GTX 1060
