My random though/rant of the day...

AMD should release a Polaris 11 card with full 16CU enabled and make it 4GB.
RX460 with 4GB just doesn't worth it. The GPU just don't have enough power to benefit all the RAM, and a higher price summore.

Many people say 4GB is future proof, but what's the point if the card cannot benefit from it? Still the better value for RX460 is at 2GB which most of the time performs just as much as 4GB version regardless what quality setting you set the game at. RM100 premium for extra 2GB of RAM at this level of performance just doesn't worth it.

There's currently a huge gap of price and performance between 460 and 470, and in between that it's easily filled by options from nvidia (1050Ti).

Unless AMD is keeping 16CU Polaris 11 for 5xx series next year that is.

Hi guys. Just wanted to share/ask something here.

I had a problem with my monitor randomly losing signal and more consistently when playing games. Figured it was the gpu which was a 7870, 3 years age.

What I did

1. Made sure to update to latest driver. Problem still persisting.
2. Figured out to test solution with heaven benchmark. Works, usually before 1 loop the monitor will crash.
3. Played around with the OC, I did a small overclock last time, put it to the default asus oc, then default gpu oc. Problem still there. Restored to asus oc.
4. Used DDU to clean out drivers and installed 16.9.2. Seems to have worked. Ran heaven benchmark for about 30 minutes successfully.

Hopefully I have found the solution to my problem. Any of you guys with older cards have problems with the latest drivers?

Losing 'signal' is more like the monitor problem?
Check your display cables.
