Today we will covering the Gigabyte Radeon RX470 G1 gaming 4G Video Card. Oh man was it exciting when the 1080 was released! If you are like me I get even more excited about the more affordable cards that are usually soon to follow. We have the 470 from Gigabyte on hand today and we will comparing this card with a 1070 and a 1060. We will continually add to a charts as we get more cards in to test. I assume the 470 will fall slightly below the 1060 but I think it will be an upgrade over the new 1050’s. That seems about right for the price to performance of the 470. Well lets get to it and see what we have with the Gigabyte Radeon RX470 G1 Gaming 4GB Video Card!
