RX 460 benchmarks revealed! Definitely not VR ready!

[AlTech]

The RX 460 benchmarks have been revealed and we have a lead on Specs.

 

It will feature 1024 stream processors or less which is roughly half of what the RX 470 and RX 480 have.

 

And it will not be VR Ready....... Oh dear .

The graphics score of the RX 460 graphics card ranges between 7000 points to 8000 points on the 3DMark 11 benchmark. This is roughly half of what the RX 470 is capable off (~13500 points) – which makes perfect sense, considering the Polaris 11 GPU is exactly half of Polaris 10 PRO. At this performance level, while you are not getting a VR ready graphics card, you will have enough power to run most games at 1080p resolution at reasonable settings. Gone are the days when budget gaming meant a down right horrible gaming experience. When we say the RX 460 is a budget gaming card, we mean exactly that, and not some sad excuse of silicon only capable of HTPC tasks. All the benchmarks given below were conducted with a core clock of 1000 Mhz, if the final product has a higher core clock then performance will improve significantly.

But, was it supposed to be a VR card? I don't think so

[NumLock21]

Even the 470 isn't

[TheRandomness]

Duh..?

 

VR for $100 will not happen for a few years.

Where did you find the price tag?

Logic. (And a rumour from a while ago, RX 470 = $150~)

We are not 100% sure yet as polaris has yet to release, amd hasn't released that many benchmarks. The RX 480 is marketed as a VR GPU, while the 470 isn't so it might not be VR ready

[JamGorby]

THIS JUST IN!!!

A budget graphics card doesn't meet a claim that was never made for it to begin with.

Story at 11.........

[hex4]

That RX 460 is getting the same graphics score my 670 get's in Fire Strike... that's a very low score for 3DM 11 o.0

Dr. Lisa Su, never said it was, it's for esports. And she didn't mention about vr even with the rx470.

This isn't modern firestrike though.

Bottlenecked too.

[Sarcasm]Sorry for not having my 100% utmost attention and e-pene for the launch of a sub $200 GPU[/sarcasm]

 

Who watches keynotes about sub $200 GPUs? That's sad.

[minibois]

well duh, the RX 480 is a VR card. This (and the RX 470 too) is not.

Score looks alright though, but I'll personally probably go for the 470.

Mine isn't bottlenecked by my CPU........

I just beat your GTX 770, you should be salty WTF. (if i do my Westmere EP run)

[BbsMentos]

Even if it's not VR ready, it's still amazing what this card can pull off the 75W that the PCI-e lane provides !

What did you do? I ran FireStrike 1.1 on 3D Mark modern version (newer than 3D Mark 11).

And also mine is like 2-10% faster lol.

[don_svetlio]

It's a 99.99$ GPU with no external Power. what did you expect? Titan X performance? Seems good to me honestly. For the price at least.

Well my result is also 1.1 MODERN VERSION

 

I was syaing if i'm at 7.5k GPU score on a bottlenecked system, which i was just testing the card out before i put it in my Westmere rig, then the score will only be higher if i retest on Westmere, well it will anyway due to thread count most likely too.

*sighs*. Might be lower GPU clock speed. And also your memory clock looks too high for the generation!

My memory runs at 7ghz... yeah 1000mhz OC

Nah, it's plausible. 7GHz on GDDR5 is not that hard to achieve.
