AMD drops prices on the Radeon RX 460 and RX 470

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti graphics cards don't start hitting store shelves until next Tuesday, but it seems AMD is already girding itself for a battle over budget and mainstream graphics superiority. In an email it sent out this afternoon, the company reiterated some of the benefits of its Radeon RX 460 and Radeon RX 470 cards, including FreeSync support and DirectX 12 performance. We've already painted an independent picture of how those cards perform in our reviews, and their performance will soon be available at a lower price: $99 and up for Radeon RX 460s, and $169 and up for Radeon RX 470s. Those new prices kick in this Sunday, October 23.
