The AMD Radeon RX 470 is the go-to for high-definition gaming. It supports intense play at 1080p Full High-definition resolution and at 60 frames per second without hitch.

On the other hand, the higher-powered AMD Radeon RX 490, which is touted to deliver "premium" Virtual Reality experience, is priced at $229.

The AMD Radeon RX 480, which sits between the newly unveiled RX 470 and the RX 490, is priced at $199 for 4GB and $239 for 8GB.

In a benchmark test conducted by, it was revealed that the AMD Radeon RX 460, despite being the smallest in the family, holds so much power already provided to it by the Polaris 11.

As per the test, the budget-friendly AMD GPU should be able to handle 1080p gaming set at reasonable settings. The graphics card sounds like a great steal.
