XFX Radeon RX 460 4 GB Double Dissipation (RX-460P4DFG5) Review

Polaris 11. The XFX Radeon RX 460 Desktop graphics card utilizes AMD's new Polaris 11 chip, which is produced using a 14 nm FinFet process. Our review with numerous benchmarks and hardware tests shows what performance the new chip and the partner-GPU are capable of.

For the original German review, see here.

The Radeon RX 460 is AMD's third Polaris-based desktop GPU. Unlike the RX 470 and Radeon RX 480, the RX 460 is based on the smaller Polaris 11 chip, which offers the same features as the larger sibling, but also includes an additional power-saving feature. The GPU supports power gating between the individual compute units. 

With a footprint of 123 mm², the Polaris 11 chip is about half the size of the Polaris 10 chip (232 mm²). Consequently, the Polaris 11 chip only offers half the shaders (1024). In case of the RX 460, only 896 are active, however.

Polaris

Polaris is AMD's first architecture based on the 14 nm FinFET-process. The chip is the 4th generation of the GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture and, according to AMD, features the following improvements:

  • better geometry engine
  • better shader efficiency (up to 15 % per CU for the RX 480 and the R9 290)
  • LiquidVR API support with "Variable Resolution Rendering"
  • better RAM control and Delta Color Compression (DCC) with full 2/4/8:1 support
  • double the Level 2 Cache
  • Shader Instruction Prefetch and better buffering
  • better Async Compute
  • AMD TrueAudio Next (calculated per shader)
  • H.265 Main 10 Decode and 4K60 HEVC Encode
  • HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.3 HBR (5K60 with single cable)/1.4 HDR mit HDCP 2.2
  • HDR display support

The changes should lead to performance improvements of up to 2.8x per watt (RX 470 vs. R9 270X). 

The review systems we use for the benchmarks are equipped as follows:

Intel Core i7-4790K (not overclocked), 16 GB DDR3, Asus ZU97-Deluxe, Asus PB287Q 4K Monitor, Intel SSD 530 (240 GB, system), OCZ Trion 100 SSD (480 GB, benchmarks), Windows 10 64 Bit with all updates up to middle of June. We used the pre-release driver 16.8.1, which was made available to the press before the launch.

Synthetic Benchmarks

First lets take a look at the synthetic benchmarks from Futuremark and Unigine. The RX 460 doesn't particularly excel and trails the GTX 965M (2016 refresh / MSI GE72) by 7 %. The older Radeon R7 370 is faster by a pretty substantial 15 %.

Gaming Benchmarks

More important of course are the gaming benchmarks - and here, the XFX RX 460 outperforms the 965M (Refresh) as well as the Radeon R7 370. The GTX 960 still has a clear performance advantage and leads by 35 %.

Maximum details at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels don't allow for much, if any, headroom - that's the takeaway when looking at the results more closely. Demanding games like  The Witcher 3 or Assassin's Creed Syndicate drop below 40 fps even with the settings just on high and not maximum. Only a handful of games can handle 4K resolution - in our case, World of WarshipsDirt Rally and Overwatch. Even so: the frame rates don't really exceed 30 fps.

For additional gaming benchmarks, please take a look at our dedicated page for the Radeon RX 460, which we maintain and expand continually.

Performance under Load / Throttling

99.9 % stability during the Time Spy DirectX 12 stress test - an outstanding result
99.9 % stability during the Time Spy DirectX 12 stress test - an outstanding result

Throttling isn't an issue. Even after 20 passes of the 3DMark Time Spy (stress test), the performance level didn't drop - our own tests confirm that as well. The clock speeds change according to the load level. During the GPU-Z Render Test, we measured a constant 1220 MHz, running The Witcher 3, the frequency fluctuated between 1200-1211 MHz. The memory speed remained at a rock solid 1750 (= 7000 MHz) at all times.

Compute Performance

The Radeon RX 460 has 14 of the 16 Compute Units of the Polaris 11 chip at its disposal, which are used for general calculations. AMD advocates the OpenCL protocol, but DirectCompute is supported as well. During the tests with LuxMark (OpenCL) und ComputeMark (DirectCompute), the GPU trails the GeForce GTX 965M (Refresh) slightly, but beats when gaming.

Problems

During the review period, we didn't encounter any major issues like graphics errors or crashes. A few times, our system froze though after we stopped applying 3D loads. The likely culprit is the driver, since we also encountered the same behavior with the RX 470.

Video Engine

The RX 460 comes with an updated video engine. During our tests, the GPU handled H.264 and H.265 4K/UHD content without any problems whatsoever.

Noise Level

The two large cooling fans of the XFX version remained unobtrusive during the tests and are barely audible above the noise floor of the (very quiet) CPU and power supply fans. Electronic noise is absent as well.

Temperatures

The RX 460 does get quite warm on the back. With a hot spot of 80 °C - measured with our Fluke 62 Mini thermometer - the graphics card sits right in the middle between the reference GPU RX 480 (72 °C) and the MSI RX 470 (87 °C).  

The sensors report a maximum internal temperature of 65 °C at extreme load levels (Furmark at 1172 MHz and 1936 RPM) - not critical by any means. When we played The Witcher 3, the GPU once again topped out at 65 °C, although the fans produced slightly less noise at 1888 RPM. 

Power Consumption

During idle, the XFX RX 460 can keep up with high-end Pascal GPUs as far as the power consumption is concerned. We measured 70.7 watts - about 2.4 to 2.7 watts above the power draw of the highly optimized Founders Editions of the GTX 1070 and the 1080. The MSI GTX 1070 Gaming Z requires 3 watts more. The older Maxwell generation - here represented by the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4 G - is quite a bit more power-hungry at 78 watts. The R9 Nano and RX 470 / 480 have similar power draws. The predecessor-generation model R7 370, which compares well performance wise, consumed 74.8 watts, which is a plus of 4.1 watts. A system without dedicated GPU (utilizing the HD Graphics 4600 integrated into the i7-4790) consumed 61 to 62 watts. All in all, the XFX partner-GPU with its Polaris 11 chips does quite well.

Under load (Witcher 3, Ultra Settings), our review model required 162 watts, which is significantly lower than the power draw of the MSI RX 470 (250 watts), to give an example. The older MSI Radeon R7 370 is more power-hungry as well (plus of 17 watts), although the difference isn't really substantial. With Furmark running, the GPU only needs 7 watts more, which means that the RX 460 is likely hitting its TPU limit. The MSI Radeon R7 370, on the other hand, increases its power draw from 170 to 222 watts in the same scenario and is - with 81 v.s 58 fps - substantially faster as well.

Verdict

The XFX RX 460 4 GB is an affordable GPU for gamers who don't need the utmost in performance. The card is powerful enough to handle Full-HD resolution and high (not maximum) details. Positive aspects are the low power consumption and the low noise level. The 4 GB version costs 20 Euro (~$22) - well worth it in our opinion, since the 2 GB variant runs out of RAM rather quickly when playing current titles.

The Polaris 11 chip did well in this initial review - and thanks to Power Gating of the CUs, it is likely very suitable for notebooks. The Reviewers Guide hints at a mobile version to be released, which could be a very worthy competitor to the current GeForce 965M GPU.
