ASUS Radeon RX 470 STRIX OC 4 GB

proxuser · Aug 4, 2016

look like amd repeating same gpu with different names since last 3 years. just look at same performance and same power consumption. this makes absolutely no fun follow gpu news,reviews.

GhostRyder · Aug 4, 2016

That price is a bit to high, even if they are hard to find you can still buy an RX 480 4gb model for $199 with the reference cooler. Would much rather have that over a slightly improved cooler in my book. If they had at least put it $200 I could argue it somewhat but at a higher price point thats a no go from me...

This card should cost in Europe 149$ INCLUDING the taxes. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense....

Lomskij · Aug 4, 2016

Here, In the UK, AIB RX470 hover between £190 and £200. Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 4GB retails for £199. Makes difficult to understand who would buy the RX470...

What were they thinking.

Yeah indeed what were they thinking! Why give it the best performance per dollar on full HD???? Nobody wants that!!!11

Will you buy a card that's best bang for the buck at FHD when it can do 60fps in half the games tested at said resolution?

Don't use ultra-benchmark settings on your sub-$200 card, problem solved.

I don't need a $200 card for that. An A10 (or even A8?) will do.

Braustard · Aug 4, 2016

Why I chose the reference Sapphire RX 480 4gb:

-I got it for $200 dlls, taxes and shipping included
-I don't have plans for changing gpu in 4 years and this card seems to handle DX 12 and Vulkan titles really good (so far)
-I have a i5 750 OC'ed to 4.1 ghz and it may become a bottleneck with more powerful gpus
-Anything beyond 60fps on 1080p is a waste for me since I have a 60hz 1080p monitor

So for me the 480 was a clear winner

I don't have such a screen, but yeah I would recommend the RX 470 for someone who does.

This graph is missing rx480 8gb, which would tip the scale to rx480 4gb favor.

I have 3 APUs and in my experience, they want lowest settings and lower resolution. RX 470 should get you 1920x1080 with med/high settings. If you want ultra+AA at HD res and 60+ fps, you'll need more card -- that shouldn't be surprising.

soooo why does this get a freaking 9/10?
Already said this once but ill say it again, what is the point of Rating here on TPU if nothing ever goes below an 8/10?

steen · Aug 4, 2016

W1zz, interesting that blueray playback power draw is much lower than RX480. 4GB vs 8GB or newer drivers running the new decoder block?

Tkenietz · Aug 4, 2016

I was hoping someone could explain why the performance figures here vary greatly compared ro every other review of the 470?

dyonoctis · Aug 4, 2016

Just wait a few month for the price to become "right". Right now It's messy everywhere with card being out-of-stock, not yet available, price inflated due to low stock... on some website a nitro 470 worth 209 bucks, on another 230 bucks, some 470 can be find for 179 bucks, Asus Rx 470 is among the cheapest (LOL), some popular website don't have any RX 470 at all...Right now merchants are being greedy. The 4GB 480 is still hard to find, and they will capitalize on that.

Once the stock will go up and AMD sell enough 480 they will lower the price. A 470 at 149 bucks will be to much of a threat for the 480 who's already getting a fait amount of disdain in favor of the 1060 who is easier to get with after market cooler and really not far in price from the 480.

Asus Rx 470 is just the slower out of the box RX 470. MSI and Sapphire have a more aggressive OC.

Alduin · Aug 4, 2016

My choice is the reference RX 470
Due to lower price and lower noise and better efficiency
Improving idle and Blu-ray power consumption was a good move by AMD

lanlagger · Aug 4, 2016

"nice" price... what is next ? a RX460 for a low as 169.99$ ?? but then again - if people would not be such a retards AMD would not try to pull it off

$ReaPeR$ · Aug 4, 2016

asus seems to be dropping the ball alot lately.. this card in this price point makes no sense whatsoever, even if you cant easily find a 480 i would suggest to wait for 2 weeks and get one, much better than this stupid thing.

GLD · Aug 4, 2016

The rent is to damn high! :banghead:

N3M3515 · Aug 4, 2016

Wasn't this review where w1z was going to add Doom, vulkan and Dx12?

Jeffredo · Aug 4, 2016

The RX480 4GB is a great little card for the money. This one makes no sense at the price/performance point.

Looks like Vulcan + RX 480 can overwhelm slower CPUs. You have a big OC, so maybe you are good.

According to Bit-Tech the msrp for the 4GB RX 470 Nitro is 179€, it's the vendors who are putting a +40-60$/£/€ premium because why the F not ?
