RX 470 Review Compilation thread
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2016 7:21 am
In brief: Very good 1080p/ ok 1440p, 120W TDP, but OEM stock OC'ed cards may use more (136W+) at stress loads. HDMI 2.0b and Display Port 1.4(ready), DVI no longer includes analog VGA signals. Requires one 6-pin PCIe Graphics power connector, but OEM designs may use more. Multiple monitors may lead to non-idle memory clock and higher power use in 2D. Dimensions stated as: a" x b" x c" are from mfgr websites - others are from reviews. Similar to GTX 970, slower than GTX 1060.
