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.

The 460 on the other hand should be performing like the R7 370, if priced $80, it will surely be very good, but not necessarily excellent (I wished 270X performance for $100 but I think that's not what AMD is going for) possibly a 465(?). Could potentially replace my second PC's 6850.
The 1060 should be very interesting too. More competition please... Bring on the new cards.
Reference gtx970 was marketed with card power of 145W, which was a bit too low considering it took 156W while typical gaming on tpus test(granted tpu does not have reference gtx970, but they used reference bios on evga's cards). Marketing department on nvidia and amd misuse that tdp term too much anyway now-a-days, that it's not even funny.
