So I have a HD 6970 in my wife’s system. She only games at 1650x1050 so it’s plenty to drive the system. I have a friend though who is strapped for cash and needing a card. Was thinking of offering him the card for like 20-30 bucks and getting something new for my wife’s system. I also not a fan, no pun intended, of the amount of noise the fan produces or the amount of heat it pumps into the room. I was looking at RX 460s.
Obviously these cards are really far apart in generations, so finding a comparison was hard. I’ve only found this, http://hwbench.com/vgas/radeon-rx-460-vs-radeon-hd-6970 , so I’m turning to the forums to seek the knowledge around the difference in power. It’s looking like the 460 will actually be a step down in terms of performance. Do yall agree?
And side note im not stuck on the 460 but my wife only games every now and then and only at 1650.
