    Re: AMD adds RX 470 and RX 460 to Polaris GPU line-up

    Do we know the release dates for the first Polaris cards?
    In other words when are the rumors going to end and be replaced with facts.

    We don't *know* it since the NDA lasts until a time itself covered by NDA. But keep an eye on June 29th

    Re: AMD adds RX 470 and RX 460 to Polaris GPU line-up

    wish they would release more info on the cards before they are available, im waiting to replace my old HD6950 in my upgraded Skylake PC, price wise the RX480 looks a likely replacement but i'd like some UK pricing and more benchmarks etc before jumping in, the GTX 1060 is another option but again there are no signs on this either, as the GTX 1080 & GTX 1070 are way above what i can spend on a card.

    The NDA has its own NDA, like one of those super injunctions.

    Re: AMD adds RX 470 and RX 460 to Polaris GPU line-up

    We know the NDA for the RX 480 lifts on 29th June. We don't know when they'll be available at retail, although I'd hope it's not much after that; people are already leaking pictures of alleged custom partner cards, which implies that silicon is already with partners; although whether that's engineering samples or shipping silicon is another question entirely.

    As I've said elsewhere, the RX 460 is the one that interests me. The sub £100 segment hasn't really seen much in the way of disruptive releases, and whilst we've got more bus powered cards recently they've been quite highly priced (the 750 Ti is still around £100 most places). Polaris has a lot of promise in that lower end segment and the tease of a bus powered, $99 with decent 1080p gaming chops is rather tantalising...

    There are quite a few ITX cases that can only take a single width half height card. It would be nice to see something new in that segment to get away from integrated graphics in those tiny cases.

    You've seen my frequent threads about rebuilding in my AOpen 360b, right Low profile cards have certainly been at a premium, even when the GPUs were available to make them - the 7750 was an ideal candidate but only Sapphire made a single slot LP version. That case got donated a while ago, so LP isn't such a priority for me now, but it's definitely something I'd like to see more GPU manufacturers taking note of - with miniDP/microHDMI ports it's easy to get plenty of outputs on such a card (my LP 7750 was eyefinity compatible via DVI/microHDMI/miniDP) and it opens up a much wider range of form factors.

    With the RX 460 being targeted at MOBA I can see there being a lot of appeal from a low profile implementation of that...

    I keep seeing those and they always remind me that I have a pretty much unused AOpen H360 sitting in the attic for years. Keep meaning to dump it but can't bring myself to do so.
    Remember building a whole lot of PCs with those cases in the late 90s too. Not bad but obviously too loud for my tastes nowadays.

    That RX 460 is the one I have my eyes on. It's about time I upgraded from my HD 7750.

    Re: AMD adds RX 470 and RX 460 to Polaris GPU line-up

    I can't wait to start seeing some reviews of these new cards, if the 480 is top end before going Fury (980Ti & Titan equivalents) then for the price asked it is going to be something really special.

    I just hope AMD can get their drivers sorted before release instead of a constant stream of minor game specific fixes and non WHQL stuff

    Interesting. If one of these can offer R9 380 performance I think I'll buy one along with a freesync monitor.

    Re: AMD adds RX 470 and RX 460 to Polaris GPU line-up

    Both are based on a cut-down version of the same Polaris architecture.
    So, what's more likely - polaris 11 for the 460 and semi-skimmed polaris 10 for the 470, or full fat polaris 11 for the 470 and green top (red top?) polaris 11 for the 460? Trimming the bigger die seems to make more sense to me, since you ought to have more with defects
