AMD announced the list of Radeon RX 400 series GPUs

AMD has announced the list of its latest generation Radeon RX 400 series GPUs. Additionally, it also split them in up to 9 tiers, and promises a high level performance for each segment as per needs of today’s gamers.
AMD will have two different lineups in its 4th Generation GPUs, including Radeon RX 4XX and Radeon 4XX. First we’ll start with the AMD Radeon RX GPU lines will have 1.5 TFLOPS performance and at least 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This level of performance can help you to provide smooth game play when playing popular games like LOL or Dota 2 at a rate of 60 frames / second and Full HD (1080p) resolution. AMD also confirmed that they will continue to use XX5 name (such as the RX 475, RX 485, …) to indicate small level upgrade version, such as increased clocked rate (such as the RX 470, RX 480 , …).

AMD 400 Series GPUs are divided into 9 tiers, but gathered into 5 groups. At 7 level or more, is simply as high as possible. But under quite disorders, namely at the level of 5 and 6 (45X and 46X cards) may or may not use the symbol RX. That means we will see 4 line card is the Radeon RX 450/460 and Radeon 450/460. The problem is not clear what AMD will change, the Radeon 400 Series card line without RX will have low bandwidth, lower memory, lower performance or both?
Strongest line is tier 9 with AMD Radeon RX 490 and RX 495, specially designed for 4K resolution gaming with a 256-bit memory bus. There is also news about Vega 10 being used for Radeon RX 490 series, so we can expect a very high performance 4K gaming enough to fight and compete with Nvidia GTX 1080.

With Radeon RX 400 series company is focusing on delivering smooth VR experiences for budget to high-end users. It will also be aimed at gamers who target a playable 2K resolution with quality settings turned up.

Speaking on recently announced AMD Radeon RX 480 GPU is based on Polaris 10 design, with 2304 stream processors divided into 36 clusters. As for RX 480 Specs, either 4GB or 8GB of GDDR5 RAM will sit on a 256-bit memory bus. Its base clock speed is 1120MHz but it can achieve bursts of up to 1266MHz and performance is rated at 5.8 Teraflops. Power draw is rated at 150W, and AMD also promises 2.8X better performance per Watt compared to Radeon R9 200 series cards.
