AMD has revealed the specifications of its upcoming Radeon RX 470 and RX 460 graphics cards, VideoCardz.com reports.

The two GPUs are based on the Polaris architecture and are cheaper and less powerful than the Radeon RX 480.

The Radeon RX 470 is aimed at mid-range gamers seeking an affordable solution for Full HD gaming.

Although it does not have the VR capabilities of the more powerful Radeon RX 480, the RX 470 is set to deliver decent performance, featuring 2048 Stream Processors and 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM.

The Radeon RX 460 is an eSports-oriented card, meaning that it will be able to handle mildly-demanding games with ease, but could struggle with newer titles.
