An alleged slide from an internal AMD RX 480 presentation has leaked online showing a bit more details about the upcoming Polaris 10-based graphics card, including the fact that AMD is actually comparing it to Nvidia GM204-based Geforce GTX 970/980.

According to the slide, the RX 480, which now appears to be an official name of the new Polaris 10 graphics card, offers up to 5.5 TFLOPS of single-precision compute performance and comes with 8GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface.

AMD suggest that the Radeon RX 480 should offer premium AAA and VR Gaming, probably at 1440p resolution at best, and should be impressively power efficient as it needs a single 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. This puts the TDP at anywhere below 150W, which you get from a PCI-Express slot and single 6-pin PCIe power connector.

The slide also shows that AMD was quite keen to note that the RX 480 actually supports DirectX 12 with Async Compute, DisplayPort 1.4, full HEVC support and that it is HDR ready, all features that GTX 970 and GTX 980 graphics cards lacks.

According to a couple of rumors, AMD RX 480 could end up with 2304 Stream Processors and a GPU clock of 1200MHz, but since the slide has yet to be confirmed, take it with a grain of salt.

Hopefully, we will hear more at AMD's Computex 2016 event scheduled to be streamed live later today.
