Radeon RX470

[imre]

Hi, PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST.... actually i want to delete it , but dont know how. I have accidentally posted in the wrong section.)

I wanted to know which is the best brand to buy here ?
I really dont care about looks and gaming as i want mine for programs like 3D Studio Max and computational stuff.
I like to play with modeling

I just dont want to end up with one that is like a snail or short a couple or few megahertz in clock speed.

This is my list of the possible cards i can buy in the RX470 range.

Please let me know, most appreciated.

Also i have somebody in my mind asking me to ask you guys also, will it not be better to buy 2 RX460s since they are cheaper?And also to confirm if the RX470 is better than getting the R9 range of cards?

Also, what about GTX 1050 or 950/960? silly ideas?

Many thanks again


My system is currently 16GB DDR3 ram 1866 speed , intel i7 2600k and i also have an AMD X4 860k , so i am not sure which would be the better system to use here.

Regards
Imre

Price of RX480 8GB is close enough to the RX470 8GB. Without going much deep on the meaning of "computational stuff", Rx480 packs quite a punch at its price point, which is about to become even lower when 1080ti comes out.

A RX480 8Gb cost 50% more than a Rx470 4GB, but i do believe that you will extract more value from the 480 8gb on the long run.

Get an RX 480 instead. It will cost more, but its performance is pretty good for the money. That being said, I would suggest buying the MSI variant.
