I want to know how the 470 measure against the 480... because it could be a good target to Crossfires, like the 5770 was on its days.. the most popular card on that series because on XF it could measure to 5870 and more for less money. If its arround the same as the 380x, it will be a nice target to cheap good performing PC. |
The Radeon RX 470 has a 12.5% reduction in shaders. If everything else stayed equal hardware wise and you were shader bound you should see a 12.5% performance reduction.
At most I would expect 20% less performance depending on clocks/Texture Mapping Units/Render Output pipelines and the load, in ideal situations the performance should be insignificant.
It should be decent in crossfire, good value for money after the initial launch and prices/inventory settle.
With that said, if it isn't $150, then you will be better off with a pair of 480 4Gb cards in crossfire.

I'm in for a good value/performance ratio, I would buy a rx480 or a couple of 470 on crossfire. my limit is arround 299$. If it is 150$ or less, and crossfire is effective, I could reeplace my current GTX960 with a couple of those cheaper 470... or Just a 480.. A single 470 could perform better than my current one, and a couple could give added performance on crosffire with high demanding games that are optimized for it. Is a Win-Win option if the price is as intended. 150$ or lower.
