Polaris 11 is supposed to be able to cover wide span of TDP and corresponding performance. For first models, manufacturers have obviously chosen to go for higher end of that niche- that is more OC etc, for which they feel they would be able to get higher price. I expect for cheaper models to follow.
I mean, AMD already a plethora of GPUs in the low end, but most of them are OEM-only.

Uh... those cards draw considerably more than 75 watts in real-world situations and in order to comply with PCIe and not fry any more motherboards it's pretty obvious why there's a 6-pin connector there: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...60,4707-5.html

But there were even coolers for CPUs up to 95W+ so it's possible, but you won't see it often.
As long as the card does have a silent and good quality fan I'll also be okay with a non-fanless card.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

On Windows, better than a GTX950 in DirectX12/Vulkan and worse on DX11/OpenGL. A little disappointing considering that this card will be available in Europe at 140€, more or less.
There is plenty of space for a RX465, one that can compete with GTX960 in DX11/OGL and GTX970 in DX12/Vulkan. Again, this is for Windows. For Linux i suppose that they will perform worse in every scenario, unfortunately.

"this is Asus' interpretation of the RX 460, which benefits from factory overclocking in our performance charts, but pays the price when we measure power."
