Right now, the Internet is rife with rumours and screen grabs of AMD's latest reincarnation (or rebrand, or rebadge) of its totally vanilla and mainstream RX 400-Series-come-500-Series GPUs.
According to one site, someone has been benchmarking the RX 500-Series Radeons on 3DMark and posting their results. The benchmarking event, documented at WCCFTech, sees what seems to be 3DMark Firestrike Extreme- and Ultra-setting benchmarks for the Radeon RX 580, RX 570 and RX 550 (no mention of an RX 560).
While we could not confirm the entirety of the specs published on WCCFTech, we did manage to validate that there are indeed cards operating under RX 580, RX 570 and RX 550 driver models on 3DMark's ORB database with said results.
Paired off with a Core i7-6700K, these GPUs obtained, on average, results that exceed their predecessors by around 10% in 3DMark FireStrike. You can hear the fanboidom on both sides go berserk…
There are a few inconsistencies between the leaked screens and the ones we were able to obtain, as usual use a good measure of salt with your daily reading habits. Our own research shows the following:
- The RX 480 will be rebadged / spun up as an RX 580, now with 1.355 GHz clock, up to 8GB of 8GHz GDDR5, on a 256-bit bus. It is said it will carry a single 8-pin power connector.
- The RX 470 will be dressed-up as an RX 570, with 1.325 GHz clock, up to 8GB of 8GHz GDDR5, running on a 256-bit bus (with rumours of a 6-pin PEG).
- The runt of the litter, the RX 550 has no true predecessor (or it might if you consider the Radeon Pro 450). This is listed on ORB as having a 1190MHz clock, 2GB of GDDR5 at 7GHz. It would make sense to keep it on the same 128-bit bus. The original Pro 450 did not require a power connector and nor should this one.
We'll let the screen caps speak for themselves now…
KitGuru Says: While the usual trading of snide comments about this product launch will take place due to the rebadge, do not consider these scores and specs as final. It is clear, by the amount of testing going on, that the clocks are not locked in place yet.
predecessor for the rumored 550 would be the “full fat” version of the RX 460 (china) with 1024 shader vs the “american” version of this only having 896 shader also some 460 had 6 pin power because of the “problems” of polaris using over the limit of power PCI-SIG spec, and or to facilitate overclocking by user or via factory.
Also why are you using WFFCCTECH as a supposed news source, page hits I assume, they are as legit as a blind squirrel is the best choice to find you acorns for the winter.
The rumor suggest these will all launch some ~$30 less than what the RX 400 series launched at at their highest memory capacity and speeds $199(480 8GB was $229) $149(470 8GB was $179) and finally 550/560 whatever they call it is supposed to be $99 vs 460 4GB launch price was $119.
Rumors are rumors no matter where they come from, until the final products are released, I myself can simply NOT picture the 570 not requiring any external power but the 580 requiring an 8pin, that would insinuate the 580 is massively clocked higher, the 570 much lower different die etc etc.
Oh god please my beloved Kitguru please don’t start sourcing Wccftech, if you do where will it end!!!!!

Not sourced in so far as we included a link to WCCFTech as a matter of courtesy. The grabs are actually ours (as is the information provided).
We checked ORB for said information and it is actually there, so it is legit. 🙂
Thank god 🙂
The source of your investigation was WCCFTech then you went looking to confirm it. Why else would you credit them. It’s a slippery road investigating every claim that site makes lol. That’s unless you want all your stories to start with ‘insider claims’ or ‘shipping manifest points to’ or ‘potential leak’, followed by 1000 comments by raving lunatics descending into a Nvidia vs AMD war….. even when the story was about a mobile phone.
Wccftech isn’t that bad, I work for a company that has had major leaks published on wccftech and can confirm that they were all legit and 100% accurate.
