The Radeon RX 470 is a mid-range graphics card by AMD, launched on August 4th, 2016. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Ellesmere graphics processor, in its Polaris 10 PRO variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 470. The Ellesmere graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 232 mm² and 5,700 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon RX 480, which uses the same GPU but has all 2304 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon RX 470 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. AMD has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon RX 470, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 926 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1206 MHz, memory is running at 1650 MHz (6.6 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon RX 470 draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 120 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.0b, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Radeon RX 470 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card's dimensions are 240 mm x 95 mm x 35 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 179 US Dollars.
