Amd radeon rx 470 vs rx 480, gtx 1060 and gtx 970 benchmarks

After raising the NDA on the AMD Radeon RX 470 and offering you our first review we already have the first tests of its performance on video and the comparison with its main rivals in the market.

AMD Radeon RX 470 video comparison with the RX 480, GTX 1060 and GTX 970

Once again the guys at Digital Foundry have gotten to work and offer us a complete battery of video tests to compare the new AMD Radeon RX 470 graphics card with its most direct rivals, the Radeon RX 480 with which it shares the Polaris Ellesmere architecture and Pascal and Maxwell-based GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 970 respectively.

The tests have been done in Full HD and 1440p resolution as it is the most suitable for the new graphics card given its technical specifications, although surely we will have new tests at 4K very soon to see how the new creation of the Sunnyvale ones unfolds. Without further ado we leave you with the videos of the tests so that you can judge for yourself the results.

In the videos it can be seen how the AMD Radeon RX 470 is the slowest card of the three although the difference is not very great, something that was already to be expected since we are facing a slightly cut version of the same Polaris 10 Ellesmere core that is used on the Radeon RX 480 and it has shown excellent performance although slightly less than the GeForce GTX 1060 in DirectX 11.

The Radeon RX 470 is the new graphics card built with modern Ellesmere silicon slightly trimmed in features with a total of 32 activated Compute Units resulting in 2, 048 stream processors, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs at a maximum frequency in its reference model 1, 206 MHz in turbo mode. The GPU is accompanied by 4 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface, a speed of 6.6 Gbps and a bandwidth of 211 GB / s to achieve excellent performance along with the new generation of color compression technology. from Polaris. The AMD Radeon RX 470 has a 120W TDP and is powered in its reference version with a 6-pin connector.
