XFX XFX RX 470 evaluation at this time 1500 yuan level card is worth buying

Before the opening, please send a funny comparison chart between AMD (ATI) and NVIDIA.

Saying that, when AMD put out the power of the predicament and launched the RX470, many people are very saucy. AMD has been humiliated by NVIDIA for years. It is rare to launch a 2K-level graphics card that can beat its rivals. It can finally be stifled. Unfortunately, NVIDIA did not last long. NVIDIA changed its name and changed its name to GTX 1060 3G with a stroke. Then it took a knife and killed it, smashed part of the GTX 1060 6G's stream processor, and finally used a trick to cross the ocean. The performance and price of the GTX 1060 3G will be hidden until it is officially released and its performance and price will be displayed. The advent of the GTX 1060 3G really hit AMD's mark - stronger than the RX 470, and the price is closer to the people. What else is going on with the RX 470?

and also! Don't forget that AMD is best at Tian Ji. The availability of the RX 470 4G is to defeat the 1500-megapixel card market that NVIDIA has yet to use Pascal's core layout.

NVIDIA's GTX 1050 has not yet landed, and the RX 470 will seize market share. It seems that AMD's Tian Ji horse has been used up. After all, can the RX 470 defeat NVIDIA's GTX 900 series? Everything will eventually be revealed. This time I chose the XFX RX 470 4G this video card

Friends of interest in the evaluation of the graphics card please look from the top down, want to see at this time to buy 1500 yuan graphics card is worth buying, please see the end of this article.

XFX's unique X-shaped packaging box is used for the graphics card packaging. Seeing this box gave me a lot of memories. At that time, XFX entered China. In addition to its excellent performance, excellent after-sales service, and excellent materials, XFX's unique X-shaped packaging box was unforgettable. As long as you see the X-shaped box, you will naturally think of XFX.

After some emotion, let's talk about the video card. The video card is positioned in the middle, and the attached accessories are really "middle-end", manuals, CD-ROMs, and power cords, but nothing else. The attachments are a bit small, and it would be even better if the CD-KEYs that come with some games are included.

Graphics card fans have low-load stall technology, and when the core load drops to a low enough level, the fan will stop automatically. Note that the film should be torn off before use.

There is a baffle on the back of the graphics card. The heat sink of the video card is not heavy. The addition of the baffle can prevent the graphics card from deforming due to a long time of gravity.

Hateful warranty label, okay, I forbear, then I won't dismantle you.

XFX RX 470 has a bonus light, and it's time for the XFX Faith Party to recharge your faith.

The tail of the graphics card is a single 6-pin power supply interface. The RX 470 has a preset power consumption of 120 W, so a single 6-pin is sufficient.

what is this? BIOS selection switch. It is said that when the user fails to use the video card BIOS after the failure, it usually does not need to use.

Memory is Hynix GDDR5 memory particles, memory frequency default is 7000MHz, this frequency is higher than the public version of 6600MHz 400MHz.

Radiator is a cool soul 4 generation cooling system from XFX. In the end how cool cool soul, I really do not know, but the design value of the radiator is not low.

The fan can be disassembled and cleaned easily. As long as the fan's buckle is pressed by hand, the fan can be taken out.

This is the power supply contact of the cooling fan, which is a great design point. The traditional power supply design is a straight line power cord, but this fan is made of a lower pressure contact design, which is very convenient for disassembly.

The fan is from Fujitsu, Fujitsu is a subsidiary of Tongde, responsible for fan production, many well-known video cards are using this company's fan.

Display output is 3DP + HDMI + DVI design, this is already the current mainstream design, and would like to see the VGA interface is basically a game.

======= I am a good segmentation line =======================

According to AMD's plan, the main task of the RX470 is to allow players to swim in 1080P games and anti-aliasing, instead of sacrificing quality for smoothness. Since the goal is to play games under 1080P, performance is naturally not weak. Do not talk about nonsense, immediately open the test.

Video card with a belief light, lack of faith? Please recharge in time

The graphics card comes with a fan-shutdown technology and the fan stalls based on the graphics card load. Both dual fan and single fan can be stopped.

testing platform

CPU: E3 1231V5

Motherboard: Asus E3 PRO GAMING V5

Memory: A-DATA DDR4 2400 8GB2

Graphics: XFX RX 470 4G / GALAXY GTX 960 HOF 4G

"The End of the Moon knife" locked the highest number of frames, the difference between the two graphics cards is very small.

The RX 470 undoubtedly hits the GTX 960 in 1080P. Although there are suspicions of being bullied by small bullies, the fact is that today's graphics card market does not have the same price difference between the two graphics cards. This test of the GALAXY GTX 960 HOF 4G version, a treasure of the new price of at least 15XX yuan, while the XFX RX 470 as long as 1599 yuan, Jingdong Diamond members even just 1529 yuan to start. This shows that the price of the GTX 960 on the market is flat with the RX 470 4G. Therefore, the comparison between the two is still valuable, at least let everyone know that at the same price, RX 470 4G performance is indeed stronger than the GTX 960.

The last is the core issue of this article: Is it worth buying a 1500 graphics card at this time? Today, the 1500-level graphics card is basically divided into two camps: the RX 470 4G and the GTX 1060 3G. As we all know, the GTX 1060 3G is undoubtedly more powerful than the RX 470 4G. This is an unquestionable fact. However, the performance is even more powerful. The general price of the GTX 1060 3G is 1699 yuan, while the price of the RX 470 4G is 1599 yuan or less. With a difference of about one hundred yuan, everybody may prefer to make more sense and gain more powerful performance. However, it should be noted that the 1699 yuan GTX 1060 3G is only part of the brand, everyone liked to see Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, GALAXY, Innovision, Rainbow, etc., etc., at least 1799 yuan or more. Aunt does not have a lot of GTX 1060 3G specials? correct. There are indeed a lot of aunts, but the number is limited, want to buy as soon as possible ~~~~

Said so much, simple point, that is, GTX 1060 3G low-cost spot really is not much, currently belongs to the GTX 900 series clearance period, green and yellow do not take the time to buy a good video card, in addition to fighting speed but also fight character. How to break? Choose the more affordable RX 470, or buy the GTX 960/970 graphics card. Can GTX 960 performance really fight RX 470, and GTX 970 did not cut prices. It seems that gamers can currently only choose RX 470.

However, to remind friends is that once the GTX 1060 3G mass market and GTX 1050 has not yet released, RX 470 is likely to cut prices, and thus quickly occupy the market less than 1,500 yuan, to know at this time the GTX 1060 3G is difficult to reach 1500 In the market below the dollar, if the RX 470 really cut prices, is it not a loss at this time?
