MSI Launches Low-Profile AMD RX 460 Graphics Cards in 2 GB and 4 GB Flavours

[Raevenlord]

To strangely low pomp and fanfare, MSI has further increased its line-up of offerings for the RX 460 family of graphics cards, with the launch of the Radeon RX 460 4GT LP (4GB), as well as a 2GT (2GB) version. Based on AMD's Olaris 11 "Baffin" graphics chip, these graphics cards feature a 75 W TDP, thus eschewing any auxiliary PCIe power connectors. That TDP being tamed by a dual-fan cooling solution and the usage of MIL-STD-810G certified components mean that this is a card where MSI feels comfortable about its lifespan.

Connectivity-wise, the boards offer 1x DL-DVI-D, as well as 1x HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 support, which makes any of these a relevant choice for an HTPC. MSI has not revealed a MSRP for any of these cards, but considering the segment at which they fit in like a jigsaw puzzle, one can surely expect their pricing to not be that far off from those recommended by AMD ($109 for the 2 GB version, and $139 for the 4 GB one).

2nd sentence you have "Olaris" instead of "Polaris"

Looks like is ment for pc from 2006 and newer oem but i already goot gigabyite rx 460 4gb and delivery shiping is super slow. Very expensive these upgrades when something goes dead.

2gb is enough for that card, reviews show no benefits at FHD.

That being said, this is a great option for HTPC in the SFF factor.
