This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze the current situation of RX470 from the aspects of performance, price, applicable scenarios, etc., and attach a structured data comparison.
1. Basic parameters of RX470 graphics card

| parameters | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Architecture | Polaris |
| stream processor | 2048 |
| Video memory capacity | 4GB/8GB GDDR5 |
| Video memory bit width | 256-bit |
| core frequency | 926-1206MHz |
| TDP power consumption | 120W |
2. Analysis of recent hotspot correlations
1.Cryptocurrency market volatility: The recent price of Bitcoin has rebounded to US$65,000, driving market demand for second-hand graphics cards. RX470 has re-entered the horizons of miners due to its cost-effective computing power (approximately 24MH/s), and second-hand prices have increased slightly.
2.Nostalgic gaming craze: The trial version of "Black Myth: Wukong" on the Steam platform triggered hardware discussions. The RX470 can still run most 3A games (2016-2019 works) smoothly at 1080P medium image quality.
3.Energy saving and environmental protection trends: With the introduction of new EU energy efficiency standards, the 120W TDP of the RX470 has no advantage over new graphics cards (such as the 115W of the RTX4060), but it is still an option for low-budget installations.
3. Performance comparison (2024 reference)
| Game/Test Project | RX470 performance | Comparison of peers |
|---|---|---|
| 《CS2》1080P | Average 85FPS | GTX1060 3G version is 10% lower |
| "The Ring of Eldon" | Medium quality 45FPS | Requires FSR technical assistance |
| video encoding | Support H.265 decoding | 30% less efficient than NVENC |
4. Purchase suggestions
1.Second-hand market price: The current average price of the Xianyu platform is 350-500 yuan (4GB version). Please pay attention to the risk of mining cards. It is recommended to choose an individual seller and provide stress test screenshots.
2.Applicable people: Suitable for 1080P gamers with limited budget (mainly playing works before 2019), light video editing users and backup machine installation needs.
3.Upgrade suggestions: If you consider a new graphics card, the RX6600 (about 1,500 yuan) has a 200% performance improvement and supports the latest technology, making it more cost-effective for long-term use.
5. Real feedback from users (data source: Tieba/Zhihu)
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| • Outstanding value for money • Well controlled power consumption • Driver support continues until 2026 | • 4GB video memory limit • Does not support ray tracing • The second-hand market is a mixed bag. |
Summary: RX470 can still be used as a transitional option in 2024, but it needs to be weighed based on specific needs and budget. Recent cryptocurrency fluctuations may affect second-hand supply, and it is recommended to test the status of the graphics card in the field before purchasing. For users who pursue new technologies, it is recommended to increase the budget and choose a new graphics card that supports the FSR3/RDNA2 architecture.
