AMD анонсировала ибо две графические карты из семейства Polaris – to the previously announced Radeon RX 480 присоединятся еще две модели послабее Radeon RX 470 и Radeon RX 460.
The exact technical specification of the new accelerator is not yet known - the only known, all model series Radeon RX 400, based on GPUs family Polaris, that have been made on the technology 14 nm FinFET and they used a new version of the architecture Graphics Core Next. The new generation supports DirectX interfaces 12 (including asynchronous shader) and Vulkan API, and HDMI video outputs 2.0 b и DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 (allows the use of screens with HDR).
Radeon RX-480 is the most powerful representative of the new series, which should deal with the so-called names, class AAA, working to resolve 1440r and support of virtual reality glasses (VR). From the information previously identified known, it is based on a gpu 36 calculation units CU computing power more 5 Teraflops and has at its disposal 4 or 8 GB GDDR5 256-bit. It is also worth noting, that for it to work properly requires a connection of only one 6-pin power connector.
Premiere Radeon RX 480 It expected to have 29 June – version 4 GB has been estimated at $ 199, and version 8 GB is a little more expensive (Its official price is not yet known).

niche below, It takes Radeon RX 470, which should allow comfortable playing games with Full HD resolution. true, manufacturer has not yet revealed the technical details of the new graphics card, но на конференции был представлен ее образец без охлаждения, so that something could peek. Around the core was found eight memory modules, so that, probably, GPU has a 256-bit graphics memory interface. На планке три выхода DisplayPort и один HDMI, а на противоположной стороне находится 6-контактный разъем питания (as well as in the RX 480).
Radeon RX 460 It does not require additional power connection
Radeon RX-460 is a card, created for the game e-sports, so do not expect too much from her performance. A design using a very short PCB, so that, probably, it is a weak GPU. It is also worth noting, that is located on a bracket DVI outputs, HDMI и DisplayPort, and does not require additional power connector to connect the card to work properly (power consumption does not exceed, respectively, 75 Tue, which can provide a PCI-Express slot).
Seem to be, that AMD has adopted a different strategy, than Nvidia, and at the beginning I decided to focus on cheaper video cards, which are more popular, and not top models. This strategy will also work out a new process on smaller and simpler schemes, and then use the full capabilities on large structures from generation Vega. It is interesting, but we will, in practice, find out after the premiere.
