Not sure about the 480 now. 970 performance is a bit meh and I know it is an ebtry level card but do I want to put that in my mates lads computer or just tell him to add a £100 and grab a 1070.... Decisions decisions.
That is not the point ... You said it would be a good card if it performs around 390 levels ... Which it will do .. So it's a good card right ?

So your not bothered that an AIB 970 has been the same price for a year as AIB 480's will be now, despite the fact that its looking increasingly like its not even as fast as that in reality?
All your interested in is what an older card was priced at two years ago.
So for you AMD are in competition only with their own cards of old.
You will be buying one then?
So given it's about as fast as a 970...

£207.99 with cashback. No brainer?
Not 8GB (obviously) but is that a problem?

Edit... never mind
Blimey. You need to slow down, and read things slower! I saw your initial reply. Cool it

I know I know ^^^^ :O
Lets try that again without rushing into it.
@ SimBy.
Sell me the 480 over that ^^^.

Very true

For God sake guys it's out tomorrow let's sit on it
Not a major problem, but there will be games where you will have to not use the better/best texture settings available.
I still think a 480 is a better bet, though. Has more room for improvement through drivers and will also have the benefit in most DX12 situations.

Think I'm gonna wait and see what the 1060 can do.

At this point, without seeing the reviews tomorrow... a 390X for 259 pounds is sounding like a sensational deal.
If the 480 is only 970 performance, that is a total let down.

if you wanna trade a brand new finfet architecture with 28nm one that it's production stoped that have impact on driver and support life span, get half memory, lose on efficiency, have worst DX12 gaming experience, lose in DP1.3/1.4, HDR, and probably some other new features, then yea no brainer...
ppl are unbelievable!
oh and yea still slower even it's only 10%, that is still slower...
there are no 480 AIB'S out,so you cant compare yet can you?
lets wait until we have them before comparing an imaginary card.
I have a 960 at the moment so its going to be a decent upgrade,which would I choose even if they were the same speed..480 no brainer.

More like add £150-250. I can't see any 1070s for £300 unless nVidia commits suicide.
Yes nice card although lets compare that to the best AIB RX480 due in July for better comparison and bringing the additional 4GB ram, Display Port 1.3 and free-sync over HDMI 2.0b that are features for the future or may suit some buyers interests.
When more games start using above 4GB then the secondary value of cards like 970 will drop.
