About the AMD Radeon R9 M470X GPU

The AMD Radeon R9 M470X is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Emerald) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R9 M470X has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,200 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 76.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R9 M470X includes 896 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,100 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
