AMD Brings Gamer Optimized Radeon RX 470 GPU

AMD launches the new Radeon RX 470, which delivers AMD’s renowned Polaris architectural DNA and an extraordinary value proposition to an even larger cross-section of the world’s most demanding gamer, with a starting SEP of just $179 USD.

Supercharged with a true asynchronous computer, support for high dynamic range monitors and designed from the ground up for low-overhead APIs, the Radeon RX 470 delivers on the promise of uncompromised HD gaming with exceptional graphics performance and low power consumption.  Details of the new Radeon RX 470 graphics card and related technologies are available at AMD's new gamer-focused content portal, Radeon.com.

The Radeon RX 470 dramatically outperforms the previous generation in gaming with its 32 compute units, 2048 stream processors, and up to 4.9 teraflops processing power, yet typical board power is just 120 watts. This produces outstanding gaming with greater than 60 fps at ultra settings on a wide variety of the latest game titles.

Powered by 4th generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture featuring asynchronous shaders and an enhanced geometry engine, the Radeon RX 470 graphics card offers exceptionally smooth gameplay at HD resolutions on the latest DirectX 12, Vulkan, and e-Sports titles.

The Radeon RX 470 graphics card features premium technology with optimized FinFET 14nm technology that brings new levels of performance and low system power requirements. This allows for new levels of gaming performance to be realized in smaller, less power demanding solutions.

Featuring a brand new display engine, the Radeon RX 470 is ready to power the new generation of HDR content and displays for video and gaming.

As sophisticated as the Polaris architecture-based Radeon RX 470 graphics card is the software that powers the card is equal as sophisticated. Radeon Software drivers enable the ultimate in performance, features, and stability to ensure an exceptionally smooth and fast out-of-box experience. The latest Radeon Settings software takes customization to a whole new level. With per state control overclocks and voltage, users can easily customize their system for new levels of performance.

The latest Radeon RX 470 GPUs offer silent gaming features that dynamically optimizes sound volumes based on actual temperature and workloads.

Should a PC gamer on the go buy a gaming notebook that’s tough to carry, or a thin notebook that’s tough to game on, AMD XConnect unlocks the best of both worlds on systems designed for Thunderbolt 3 eGFX enclosures—an ideal form factor for fast and efficient Polaris-powered GPUs.

Radeon RX 470 graphics cards are available now from retailers and e-tailers around the world starting today.
