3D Mark
During the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark, the graphics card outperforms the Sapphire Nitro R7 370 but falls significantly behind the GTX 950. This isn’t a great start considering the GTX 950 can be procured for a similar price to the RX 460.
Compute Performance
In terms of compute performance, the GPU posts a respectable score but it’s not able to defeat the Sapphire Nitro R7 370. Furthermore, there’s a huge deficit to the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 OC which makes you ponder why the price difference between these products is relatively small.
Yeah, the problem really is that old stock of 950s bought by the stores pre-brexit is competitive on price right now!
There is a Powercolor 460 for sale on OCUK for £99 right now, which despite the 2GB memory does have a lot of value for money going for it, if you really really cannot stretch to buying a 470.
I feel that £130+ for a 4GB 460 is just asking too much – maybe £120 as a premium over £99.
The Vulkan and DX12 results here and on other reviews do show a lot of potential. Getting 60fps (or close enough) on 1080 Ultra in Doom is a massive achievement.
I predict a major driver release from amd with a major performance increase. Maybe not but I think so
