Sapphire radeon rx 470 and rx 460 in pictures

There is no availability in the stores of the custom AMD Radeon RX 480 yet and there is already talk of the arrival of the new graphics cards of the company that will be a small step below performance. Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Platinum and Sapphire Radeon RX 460 Nitro.

Sapphire Radeon RX 470

First off we have the Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Platinum which features a design identical to the Radeon RX 480 except for an attractive silver casing. Inside it is a slightly cut Polaris 10 core for a total of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs along with 4/8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 224 GB / s for offering very high performance and only slightly below the current top-of-the-range model, the Radeon RX 480.

This card mounts a reference PCB with a 4 + 1 phase VRM that takes power through a single 6-pin power connector and is covered at the back by a black and silver aluminum backplate that gives it greater rigidity and helps protect delicate electronic components.

This time it is a card intended for the entry level and for occasional players or DOTA 2 or League of Legends games that do not need a great power of graphic processing. Inside we find a Polaris 11 core formed by 896 Stream Processors and which is linked to 2/4 GB of GDDR5 memory, this time with a 128-bit interface and a bandwidth of 112 GB / s.

This card is a customized model so we see a fairly advanced heatsink with a dense aluminum fin radiator and two fans that are responsible for generating the air flow necessary to keep the temperatures in the card's operation controlled. This card offers a very low power consumption so it is exclusively powered through the motherboard's own PCI Express slot.
