The first performance benchmarks of AMD's soon to be launched Radeon RX 460 graphics card have leaked out. The benchmarks were posted in a review by PurePC for a brief moment and were removed from their site how ever, Videocardz managed to save a copy of these benchmarks which give us a glimpse at the performance and various metrics of the newest entrant in AMD's Polaris family.
The AMD Radeon RX 460 will be the first Polaris 11 GPU with a price around $99 US.
AMD Radeon RX 460 Performance Benchmarks Leak Out - Polaris 11 Put To The TestIn Stock and OverclockedScenarios
The Radeon RX 460 is the first card to feature the Polaris 11 GPU, a very small chip that replaces the Radeon R7 260 and Radeon R7 360 series cards. This chipfeatures 896 stream processors which deliver around 2 TFLOPs of compute performance. AMD has clocked this chip at 1090 MHz core and 1200 MHz boost clocks while the 2 GB GDDR5 model comes with a 128-but interface and clock speeds 7 GHz that deliver 112 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 460 will also be available in 4 GB variants which will feature a higher price point than the 2 GB variants.
Since the card features the same GCN 4.0 architecture as its bigger brother, we will be getting up to 2.8x perf per watt improvement over past generation GCN products such as the Radeon R7 360. The Radeon RX 460 also comes with Display Port 1.3 / 1.4 HDR capabilities.

The card will feature a TDP of less than 75W which means it will be powered via the PCI-Express bus and won’t need an external power connector. The card features a really small PCB and has a cooler design similar to the Radeon R9 Nano which looks compact and premium for a card that is supposed to be priced around $99 US. In fact, the card will also be available in several custom variants at launch with better PCBs and even additional power connectors (6-Pin) to add more overclocking potential to the Polaris 11 chip.
