XFX Unveils Single-slot Radeon RX 460 Core Edition Graphics Cards

It has a 180A 100C VRM....not far off from the Powercolor's 204A 80C VRM...

Edit: Yea actually its pretty comparable...if you see on the datasheets here:
Gigabyte: http://www.aosmd.com/res/data_sheets/AON6414A.pdf
Powercolor: http://www.onsemi.com/pub_link/Collateral/NTMFS4C10N-D.PDF

Looks like at 25C Tcase its close with the Gigabyte delivering 4A more so I can only assume the Gigabyte is a bit higher than 204A at 80C and the Powercolor a bit lower than 180A at 100C

Thing is 10A here or 20A there isn't a small amount. That's an entire extra phase.

WOW you 2,
I cant recall gigabyte GPU'S ever being taken for a world record, deno never gets those records..........

.....ok somebody's gotta quad fire these things.......for science.......

What is with you? I was only arguing that the Gigabyte also isn't good which it isn't! Why are you disputing it?

I have three available if I go visit my brother lol

It is enough power for the GPU to do basically anything on Air/Water.

Well then so is the Powercolor? I fail to see the point.

The first powercolor bios couldn't overclock at all in 9/10s of the cards on the market and had a powerlimit lower than the reference design

I know. So what? What does that add to this conversation? I was never arguing about the Powercolor.

The argument you had was that the GB was roughly as bad as the Powercolor. It is not. It can actually run acceptable clock speeds without being the luckiest person on earth and getting the one well binned chip that slipped into powercolors hands.

Take it to PM you guys.

My arguement was that the Gigabyte was also as bad and I said the Powercolor was WORSE and both my statements are true and the spec sheet shows the Gigabyte isn't too far better either. Whatever this is getting ridiculous, sorry for spamming this thread everyone...

Single slot !!!!

Neither company makes its own cards, I believe they both outsource to Tul still.

XFX operates under Pine Group, which I believe is still a competitor not a subsidiary of TUL.

You are correct, looking through I may have swapped them and another brand. Curious is HIS which had this identical card and a multitude of TUL built cards in their lineups.

Don't know why TUL would be using this design, since it's just a single slot, slightly shorter version of XFX's own Ghost cooler design from a few years ago. Compare to the XFX R7750 Core and see that this is just slightly tweaked for the 460.

Oh no I'm sure this is pine group. My curiosity was more that HIS is a whore and will take anyone's card

 

[ShurikN]

I'm loving it, slick, thin, elegant. If only it were a more capable card like RX470.

Oh, gotcha. It's possible they made a purchase to fill out the ranks... I miss the IceQ days of HIS.

 

[ShurikN]

I miss the IceQ days of HIS.

Had a X1600T IceQ Turbo. I loved that card. Back in the day when HiS was still relevant.

I have a pair of iceq 2600xt's in my box at work. I need to xfire and play with them one of these days.

Nice to see a single slot cards, more options - better. Although half size MSI GTX 1050Ti might be better option for those with Dell/HP/Lenovo SFF PC's.
