AI Summary
The AMD Radeon RX 470 offers solid 1080p gaming performance for its price, making it a good value for budget builds. It outperforms older GPUs like the GTX 750 Ti and GTX 960, but struggles at higher resolutions. Games like Apex Legends and STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II run smoothly at 1080p, while 4K becomes choppy. It's suitable for entry-level gaming but lacks modern features and efficiency compared to newer cards.
Pros
- Offers 1080p gaming at medium-high settings with average frame rates above 30 FPS in most titles
- Outperforms older GPUs like GTX 750 Ti (3498 vs 1285 3DMark) and GTX 960 (3498 vs 2183 3DMark)
- Provides better value than the RX 480 at a lower price ($179 vs $229)
- Supports 1080p gaming for modern titles like Apex Legends and STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II at 54-77 FPS
- More energy-efficient than the GTX 970 (150W vs 145W TDP)
Cons
- Struggles at 1440p and 4K, with frame rates dropping below 20 FPS in many games
- Lacks support for modern technologies like ray tracing and DLSS
- 4GB GDDR5 memory may be insufficient for newer games at higher settings
- Outperformed by newer budget GPUs like the GTX 1660 (5094 vs 3498 3DMark)
- Higher power consumption compared to modern GPUs like the GTX 1650 (150W vs 65W TDP)
