Power consumption same as the 28nm 970, AMD you suck.

In that review the 1070 draw less power!! lol.

"It's a creditable enough showing from AMD, but it is put into shade somewhat by the phenomenal result of the GTX 1070 - it's in an altogether different league in terms of performance and yet it offers the same ballpark consumption as the RX 480. This is perhaps not surprising bearing in mind that both cards are based on a 150W TDP."

Hmm. I'm a bit unsure what to purchase now.

I'm currently on a 7870, i5 ~4.5GHz and 8Gb 2666Mhz RAM. I probably won't be upgrading the card for a few years so wondering what will give best bang for buck and longevity. Seems the RX 480 performing just shy of cards in the £240 region but doesn't come with a free game.

What do you guys recommend?
