I have not seen any information anywhere on a Sapphire 470D based mining card.
They DO have at least 4 cards listed on their website (and a couple of them have shown up on Newegg) for 470 NOT D based cards.

As I recall, the 470 "D" series was a China-sales-only thing.
Card should do OK on ETH, though probably a hair under a "normal" RX 470.
Card might be a bit iffy on other coins, due to the lower shader count - depends on what price they bring it to market if it will be worth looking at.
I don't see a point to them leaving all the video connectors on the card for a "mining" card though - have to wonder about that part.
Card will also be unavailable everywhere because it will go out of stock almost immediately like all AMD cards.Card should do OK on ETH, though probably a hair under a "normal" RX 470.

There's also a sapphire version of this particular card.
Honestly I wish there was more supply of these cards so that consumers could buy the normal ones.

Heya,
I was browsing Tech powerup and noticed they published a very short, initial info/article about Biostar's version of a mining GPU.
I apologize if this news was already published here - I couldn't find any mention of it.

What do you think about it?
Is it actually going to be worth getting?

BIOSTAR posted technical specifications of its first graphics card designed for crypto-currency mining, bearing the model number "VA47D5RV42." This card, which is based on the design of its RX 470/480 graphics cards; is built around the Radeon RX 470D chip, and endowed with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. The RX 470D is a "lite edition" or LE variant of the Polaris 10 silicon, which never made it to the DIY channel market, but occasionally reared its head in the pre-built OEM market. It features fewer stream processors than the RX 470, at 1,792 vs. 2,048. The chip is clocked at 1200 MHz (boost), with 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. Interestingly, unlike most "mining" graphics cards we've seen so far, this card appears to feature a full complement of display outputs, which includes three DisplayPorts and one each of HDMI and DVI. The company didn't reveal pricing.
