So in terms of bang for buck, is this card going to be better than the 1070 for 1080p gaming?
Its looking that way yes, wait 12 days. we will know for certain by then
with it being a AMD card it will be as fast as Bugatti Veyron

Is it going to be better performance wise than a GTX 970? I have a 7970 at the moment and was thinking of upgrading but don't know what to go for. Will definitely wait to see how this new 480 performs.
The rumours are the reference card is faster than a GTX 980, with AIB cards significantly faster than that.
Again tho, for others reading this thread, just wait, less than 2 weeks

Thanks for your help.
everyone hold their breath
The RX480 is coming, she's running, here it comes!
That's the Hype bar of 1500Mhz she's trying to highjump there.

I'm pretty sure that girl is Nvidia and that bar represents launching a card at a sensible/affordable price.
Funny thing is that if you listened to what AMD themselves are saying, you wouldn't be half as hyped as if you went by what the rumors were saying...
What we know for sure so far
1. AMD will release a 480 card on 29th June
2. The 4gb will cost $199 and the 8gb will be $239
What has a 95%+ chance of being true
1. Gibbo (ocuk) already has stock
2. The price might be £200 or it might be £250
3. There will be Beast cards from AIB which will cost more
4. They overclock
What may or may not be true
1. The card runs at 1.08Ghz or 1.266Ghz standard clocks
2. The card may just have base clocks or may boost like the 980/1080
3. The card may be slower than a 970 or as fast as a 1070
4. The card may overclock to 1.5Ghz on air or even 1.8Ghz on water and beat a none overclocked GTX1080. Or it may not overclock at all.
5. The card will be the second coming or the final nail in the coffin for AMD.

Just found a retailer in india has Sapphire RX 480 cards in stock and already available for sale now cost Rs.30,439 included 14.5% VAT in india translated into £317.46 and excluded VAT would be Rs.26,584 translated into £277 excluded VAT and included 20% VAT would be £332.40 due to price gouging.
Just like GTX 1070 price gouging, you will have to pay more for RX 480.
Tried searched for RX 470 and 460 but they don't have on list yet so it will be in stock in next few months.

Until they are in the hands of users pretty much hype.
