a few days ago we started the old yellow Pascal thousand-level GTX1050 Gemini, the bright spot of these two new cards is to control the power consumption is low enough premise also can guarantee good performance, but the range of performance improvement appears slightly less sincerity, and on the other hand AMD immediately announced a product to sniper them- Radeon RX 470D, as can be seen from the title, it is very good this time.
Regarding rx 470D suffix "D", AMD official saying is-"D" refers to "Dragon", Dragon, very rich in Chinese cultural color of the sacred creature, because this rx 470D is China's special.
Clear purpose--lock gtx1050ti
has also analyzed many times before, Rx 470 and RX 460 between the performance fault, the price fault is very large, AMD must also need a model to fill this blank.
Is it intentional to wait for the opportunity to make an enemy? or to see the 1050Ti soft rib after the rush to attack the product? I think it's the latter. But how is not important, as long as the same price, to buy better performance, that is a good product.
Core: Rx 470D is rx 470 and then castrated.
Like RX 480, which is the same as RX 470, the Rx 470D is a block of streaming processors on the basis of RX 470, as shown in the following illustration.
Interpretation of the specification: shielding routines are completely unchanged, RX 480 minus 1 Group flow processor (256), minus 16 texture units become RX 470; Rx 470 minus 1 stream processors and 16 texture units become Rx 460D, and if the frequency difference between different brand models is ignored, the performance decline between the three should be the same.
Memory is still retained 4GB, is also the most suitable for this core memory capacity.
RX 470D because it is a special type in China, therefore, there will be no public version, the market circulation of models will be mostly in the form of high-frequency version, so today's use of the Sapphire Rx 470D Ultra Platinum OC is also more representative, its frequency, workmanship, materials will be the big a card brand in the first-class existence, Of course, the price will be slightly higher ~
RX 470D's AMD official guided Price is 1299 yuan, that is, the actual prices will be based on its benchmark floating up and down a lost. And Gtx1050ti's official guided price is 1199 yuan, prices in the same range, the war is inevitable.
