AMD Radeon RX 470 and RX 460 Specifications Confirmed
AMD confirmed specifications of its second and third "Polaris" architecture graphics cards in a leaked presentation, the Radeon RX 470, and the Radeon RX 460. The RX 470 will be AMD's attempt at a graphics card that plays everything at 1080p resolution, under $150. The Radeon RX 460, on the other hand, is based on the new 14 nm Polaris11 "Baffin" silicon, and could be ideal for MOBA games with light GPU requirements.
The Radeon RX 470 is carved out from the Polaris10 "Ellesmere" silicon that the RX 480 is based on, it features 2,048 stream processors across 32 GCN compute units, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory. The card draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. The Radeon RX 460, on the other hand, features 896 stream processors across 14 compute units, 2 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface, and relies on the PCI-Express slot entirely for power. The reference RX 460 board looks quite similar to the Radeon R9 Nano, but features a simpler spiral heatsink under the fan. Despite rumors to the contrary, it looks like Vega is on-course for a 2017 launch after all.

Edit: It's CS:GO and Dota 2 too, don't know about others
RX460 will have 38.9% of the cores of RX480. 38.9% of 970 (1664 cores) comes out to be 647 cores.... So it should perform similar to, or slightly faster than 750Ti. But if clocks on RX460 are competitively higher, it could approach 950 levels.
Both cards are perfect for those who don't spend much for graphics cards.
Though I doubt that it will be 30% faster than 380x, seeing as how RX480 4GB is only 35% faster. My guess would be around 15% faster.
Looking forward to it!
ps. the 470 will be a 120watt card?
until zen arrives at least..
lets hope that vega and zen can go tow to tow with nvidias offerings, i've missed the competition in that segment.
