XFX - Hard Swap Edition AMD Radeon RX 470 RS 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card with White LED Backlight

This card was built extremely well. I bought this graphics card over the rx 480 version because I am not running vr games at the moment. It has superb features. The fans are replaceable. The white led is a nice touch. The fans are quite. I have ran this card In my desktop for about 14 straight hours of hardcore gaming and max detail setting and it never went over 50 degrees celcius. Definitely worth every penny I paid.

Great upgrade from a GeForce 740. Good price and runs Overwatch smooth on an overclocked Q6600.

I don't have any complaints about this graphics card. The length of this graphics card was twice the size of the one that it replaced. I should've expected this because it has two heat sink fans compared to single on my old graphics card.

Pros -The warranty of this card is top notch. 3 years, industry leading warranty in US and Canada. Want to OC? No problem. Want to mod it? As long as it can be returned to factory original, no problem. If one of your fans die, which is the leading cause of RMA’s with GPUs, they’ll confirm it is broken and send you a new one! No need to ship your card to them just for the fan. -Hard Swap Fans. Want to add some extra LED lighting to your rig? They currently offer 3 color LED fans, red, blue and white. Additionally, the benefit of these hard swap fans that let you remove the fan without removing the GPU shroud lets you easily access the heat sink fins and clean out any dirt or debris that may get in there and cause higher temps. Just remove the fans via the 2 quick clips and blow out the dust! -The card runs beautifully at its default stock clock speeds. 1080p 60fps or higher for most modern games (Witcher 3 needs a few settings dropped to achieve 60 but that is expected) at max settings without a hitch as of mid-2016. For instance, I was hitting near 120fps constantly on Mad Max, a constant 60fps on Wolfenstein and Overwatch, though I had Vsync on for those games to limit tearing since I don’t have a Freesync monitor. Additionally, the stock 470 has recently been added to Oculus’ list of cards that are VR Ready! This means that this overclocked, premium 470 will perform higher than necessary for VR. -Not content with the stock settings? This card overclocked quite well for me. I was able to raise it to 1340 Mhz while keeping temps and fan speeds decently low, and minimal noise. As for the memory, unfortunately due to timing issues with the ram, overclocking the ram actually reduces the performance of the card so the RAM must be kept at the stock speeds, although could possibly undervolt the ram though I have yet to fiddle with that. You can also undervolt this card to perform at stock but with lower temps if you have a poor case airflow. Of course, YMMV as all GPUs overclocking and undervolting potential is a lottery. That being said, these cards are binned so they have above average performing GPUs. -The construction of the card is solid. Premium grade materials, and the look of the card is also top-notch. Cons - Unfortunately due to timing issues with the ram, overclocking the ram actually reduces the performance of the card so the RAM must be kept at the stock speeds. -A little more expensive than the other cards on the market. -XFX logo is not illuminated! I wish the extra LED had been kept in the 470 as in the 480. Other I upgraded to this card from an XFX HD 5770. That card still runs great and I specifically decided to stay with XFX due to the performance of that card and the fantastic customer service and loyalty I’ve witnessed from members of the XFX team on social media. I was torn between the 480 and the 470, but decided that since I was gaming at 1080p, the 470 was the card for me. The only thing that would make me happier with this card is higher clocked RAM. Finally, I feel the XFX warranty and premium materials used in the card is worth the slightly higher price point being asked. I highly recommend this card if you are looking at the $200 price point and you are interested in 1080p gaming.

Finally bought this to play the new doom, and wow does it play amazing now with zero slowdown. The blinding white light is a little distracting in my windowed case, but nice otherwise. i do like that the fans are idle when the card is not in game mode, certainly helps with noise, and wen it is gaming, its barely noticeable. The styling is also a very nice feature as very few other cards look this nice. I've had it for about a week, and am enjoying it greatly so far. A great value!

I've owned more then few EVGA cards which all worked great as well but I wanted more VRAM for under 200.00 bucks.I changed from a gtx960 to this xfx470 was worth it ..I bought this when it was on sale 179.00 ..go an search youtube videos u wont find a better card for the money ..an the install on windows10 was smooth like butter...

I installed the RX470 in a PC bought on 2011 and it transformed the workstation into a gaming PC. I used to get only 15 FPS in war thunder using the onboard graphics and the quality was even set to low. With the RX470, I can get a consistent 60 FPS at Ultra High Quality. I've connected it to an LG 29 UM68 Ultra wide monitor and the quality is really good. Fans have a glowing white illumination when turned on and the fans turn-off when the GPU load is at minimum. Once I start playing games, the fans turn on to cool it down. It's cheaper than the RX480 but almost as powerful based on the specs. But if you have the extra cash and a much newer PC, i'd recommend the RX480. This card is well priced and has provided me with satisfaction.

As of October 2016 every game I've played has run at 60+ fps at 1080p on max settings (sometimes using a lower AA setting) Pros: only needs a 6 pin connector from PSU, machine I put it in was a Dell with 460W PSU Very capable at 1080p Not gigantic, fit in my tight for space case Cons: Not THAT much cheaper than RX 480 Can't turn off its very bright white lights
