It could be ~180 for the 8GB (AIB) models, if there are any, with the 4GB ones sticking closer to ~150$ but it depends on how much gimped the 470 is, though traditionally the XX50 cards from AMD have been excellent VFM.

if only 10% slower, being 20$ cheaper is completely ok.It'll probably be about 10% slower than a RX 480, so hopefully it'll be more than 10% cheaper... especially since that Sapphire card seems to have 4+1 VRM phases instead of the 6+1 of the RX 480, though the PCB looks... familiar.
I would not be surprised to see some "Unlockable" RX 470 cards, especially the early reference models.
Edit: I just compared the PCB versus the ones in my teardown thread and that supposed Sapphire RX 470 PCB looks identical to the RX 480 PCB from Sapphire (MBA). The only difference is the removal of some surface mount components such as 2 VRM phases.
Problem is, supply of all Pascal based chips is on the lower side.Last I heard GTX 1050 coming in December. Maybe that will get pulled forward given the 460 is supposed to be out at the end of this month.
It's interesting since the 1060 was obviously NVs response to the 480 and it's really heated up the competition between the two in that price segment. Meanwhile the response to the 460 is....erm, the $1200 Titan? You wonder if NV really are going to sit back and let AMD have the entire <$200 market to themselves for months. I hope so for the sake of AMD getting some much needed cash and marketshare but I hope not for the sake of competition.
Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the perf/w for the 470 and 460 to see if we can put the brakes on the 'AMD fails again with Polaris!' train.

ranges from 150$ to 179$ even a 179$ 470 would be ok if the performance is within 10%.How much do you guys think the RX 470 will cost?
Would you please share what features that the Firepro as that the Radeon doesn't? Or, a link to the source where such information can be found.That Firepro... has better features than the Radon itself... and wondering what is their FP64 performance.
Also... waiting the clock of the 460... INBF can clock even higher than the 480 :V
And finally... nVIDIA has no counter for the 460. Maxwell is being nerfed and there are no plans for GT 1040... so all the market is free for the RX460. And finally wondering if there are 2 versions: with 8 pin connector and the fanless version
Oc bios setting gives +3% perf vs standard bios setting. Its costly 3%.
The 8GB Nitro seems much better than the Asus Strix. The quiet mode outperforms the Asus and is quieter than it. The Boost mode manages a tiny bit more performance but adds a lot more noise, as an option for those with a good noise cancelling setup or are willing to tolerate the noise.
Now the caveat is that the Asus Strix targets a lower temperature. So with a custom fan curve set to the same temperature this may not be necessarily true. The Strix also uses less power, but again is a bit slower. Just from what we see here though, I'd favor the Nitro unless you are really concerned about power consumption (get the 1060 then maybe?).
The 8GB Nitro is 10-11% faster than the 4GB Nitro. Significant enough to where the 8GB with boost can beat a 1060, but the 4GB lags behind even with boost.
I would be very interested in power usage for a 900MHz model in relation to Stilt graph of fmax vs voltaga. What data do we have here?

The Nitro looks like a really nice performing card. I really want to see a review with a wider variety of games with some DX12 games in the mix to see the real perf/$ value.
That being said those are titles GCN has struggled with in the past and it looks to be pretty close to GTX 1060 performance with a bit more power consumption. If GCN optimized DX12 titles start to get mixed into the relative performance comparisons the RX 480 really starts to make a lot of sense for consumers.
Unfortunately for AMD the GF 14LPP process has hampered its potential. This chip needed to clock at 1400 Mhz and draw power of 120w. I think we will see a second revision of Polaris chips as mentioned in the Rx 400 series naming scheme once the process issues are worked out. I think the Rx 485 will come in Q1 2017 and eventually prove to be a very good chip.
