AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) Yesterday unleashed the new Radeon™ RX 460 graphics card, engineered from the ground up for eSports gamers who demand pristine HD gaming, extraordinarily smooth beyond-HD streaming capabilities, and a distinguished assortment of future-proof[i] gaming technologies. With an ultra-quiet cooling solution and sub-75W power footprint, the Radeon RX 460 brings this wide array of enthusiast class features with a stunning SEP starting at $109.
“The
Radeon RX 460 delivers the perfect balance of price, power, performance
and package size, the four key pillars of modern GPUs,” said Raja
Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies
Group, AMD. “The Radeon RX Series is built on architecture designed for
extraordinary power efficiency and is especially well suited to desktop
gaming PCs targeted at mainstream price points. Radeon RX 460 users will
enjoy an optimized software and hardware graphics card solution ideal
for both eSports and iCafé systems.”
The
supercharged Radeon RX 460 graphics card delivers surprising
performance in the most popular global eSports titles, and was
engineered from the ground up to take advantage of next generation
DirectX® 12 and Vulkan™ APIs that power the most popular AAA game
titles. The Radeon™ RX 460 graphics card has up to 14 compute units, 2/4 GB GDDR5 memory and 2.2
teraflops processing power, yet typical board power is less than 75
watts, making it ideal for iCafé deployments that typically place a high
value on a low power footprint. This produces astonishingly quiet
gaming and incredible frame-rates.
Radeon™ RX 460 Features
- Astounding 1080p Gaming – Optimized for the most popular resolution gamers use today, the Radeon RX 460 graphics card delivers superior framerates at 1080p in eSports titles such as League of Legends, Overwatch and DOTA 2, even allowing for better image quality and reduction of “jaggies” with the Virtual Super Resolution feature[ii], and smooth gameplay using AMD Freesync™ technology, and latency optimizations available from Radeon Settings. The Radeon RX 460 excels in DirectX® 12 and Vulkan™, APIs that are powering the future of gaming.
- Cool & Quiet Gaming – Gamers can reduce fan noise with silent gaming features made possible by the revolutionary Polaris architecture, optimized for the 14nm FinFET process. The Polaris architecture-based Radeon RX 460 intelligently adapts to card temperature and completely turns off fans during idle and light gaming workloads[iii]. With no power connector and low temperatures, the Radeon RX 460 graphics card is the optimal plug and play option for gamers looking to upgrade.
- Stunning HDR Pixels – Featuring a brand new display engine, the Radeon™ RX 460 graphics card is ready to help power the new generation of HDR content and displays for video and gaming.[iv]
- Game Changing Control – As sophisticated as the Polaris architecture-based graphics cards are at a hardware level, the software that powers the cards is equally so. Radeon Software drivers enable the ultimate in performance, features and stability, designed to ensure an exceptionally smooth and fast out-of-box experience.
