I dont give much for WCCftech but it would fit the same release time that they had with the 300 series. If the 480 is around 200-220 pounds then it doesnt look that bad

Where's the 490x?
I can see amd keeping the current pricepoints of the 390's.
Polaris £230-300, polaris x £320-380.
Cant see them selling many at that price!

A mid range part that performs at the level of fury pro with more VRAM for 300 quid and you don't think they would sell?![]()
If we go by past experience then 480 should cost ~£200 but if they give Fury performance then expect maybe £240 as a price point with the 390X equivalent being £200 or less. At these prices they will still offer excellent price performance considering GTX970 is still around £230.
In fact if they offered Fury performance at that price point I would considerupgradingside-grading, especially if they offered better power and thermals over my Fury. The trade off would be double VRAM and potentially better OC along with newer features.
If prices of the 280 and 380 series are an indicator then the 480 should come in at less than £200. I hope AMD don't do the Nvidia tactic of pricing a low end card at mid range prices just because it's faster.
That would go against what they have said about growing th eTotal Addressable Market significantly.
However, the 480X may occupy the 970/390 slot if it's Fury level performance with the Vega addressing the top end segment.

The thermals and overclocking should be far better than a fiji based part. Also as you mentioned, this comes with a lot more new goodies across the entire range.
Remember there is no actual 380X, so the higher end Pascal P10 could be slotting in to a 390 replacement which would be ~£250 and Fury performance. Smaller P10 becoming R9 480 as a 380 replacement at the £200 price point and with 390X performance. Just guessing of course.
We don't know the performance, so that's just guesswork on your part.
<£200 and they could have a winner; >£250 and many of us just aren't interested. £250 and upward isn't mainstream anymore. Mainstream is £100-£200 really.
AMD seem to have cottoned on to this given what little they've told us has all been about perf/$, addressing the mainstream, "affordable" VR, etc.
