Massive Four-GPU RX 470 Card Surfaces, Probably Built for Crypto Miners

A massive graphics card carrying four Radeon RX 470 GPUs has surfaced, according to a report from TechPowerUp. The unusual multi-GPU design appears likely to have been built for cryptocurrency mining rather than conventional consumer gaming use.

The Radeon RX 470 is an AMD graphics processor from the Polaris generation. GPUs have long been used in crypto mining because their parallel-processing capabilities can perform the repeated computational work required by some proof-of-work networks.

A board combining four GPUs on a single card would be a highly specialized piece of hardware. Such designs can concentrate computing capacity in a smaller physical footprint, though they also introduce additional demands around power delivery, cooling, and system integration.

The card’s emergence highlights the range of custom hardware that has been produced for mining operations, particularly during periods when GPU-mined cryptocurrencies attracted substantial demand. Mining hardware has evolved from standard consumer components toward increasingly purpose-built systems.
