RX 460 may not be the fastest offering based on AMD’s
Polaris GPU but this graphics card is quickly becoming the darling of gaming
crowd. With a price tag of around 10K Indian Rupees for the 2GB version and 12K
for the 4GB ones, RX 460 can handle anything HD and scores some respectable FPS
even in FHD/1080p. In a land of budget constrained gamers with mostly 20”
1600x900 monitors, those are clear signs of a winner. But as it turns out,
there is more to little Baffin (code name of
RX 460) than eyes could see in the first glance. According to news from
WCCFTECH, Sapphire, one of the largest vendors of Radeon graphics cards, is
offering a special edition of the gpu with all 1024 SPs (Stream Processor) unlocked!
The standard variant of Rx 460, the one you’d normally find in the market,
features 896 SPs – so that’s an increment of 128 SPs. The card in question is
“Nitro - OC” branded – one of Sapphire’s elite performers and comes with
factory overclocked frequency of 1250 MHz out-of-the-box. All the other specifications
remain identical with no word on pricing.
