I build PC's for others, and use nothing but AMD, until tomorrow anyway, when I cancel my pre-order for the RX 480+ Nitro & change it to the NVidia 1060:

It's cheaper, and performs faster in OpenCL & OpenGL, & uses less electricity. Better for me, my clients & the environment. What's not to like? It's people posting nonsense about these new cards that has made me change my order, as I have then searched what is posted, and found it to be last years out-dated facts, or they were 'facts' posted by fanboys!
LMAO,so now you call anybody who disagrees with you a fanboi- you seemed really annoyed.
Yes,as a person whose primary card is a GTX960 and my previous one was also a GTX660.
by you said:
So I'm sure resorting to insults will help the O/P. Not sure why you are so angry either? Though as I'm not a fanboy of either AMD or NVidia its hard for me to be as worked up about these things. I assess on the basis of my reading, but these people seem to sum it up rather nicely:

So,you are getting annoyed just because everybody did noty agree 100% with you and remember YOU SAID OPENCL performance.
So now you are insulting people - you are the one who is gettingh hurt.
Perhaps today is the day you need to re-check? And why so hung up on yesterdays cards? I'm not sure that's helpful. People & software have moved on. Cinebench is a good indicator of GPU performance, latest results show NVidia with a 17.5% lead:

You see, OpenCL has NVidia specific instructions that just aren't available in AMD hardware hence the increased performance on NVidia hardware.
Do you not see that are those of us with different GPU requirements to you, and there are those of us that do need to change cards for the exact same reason you don't!
Wait,what??
"OFC,Tonga being used in a whole load of Apple". I'm not sure why you rest on Apple's laurels? I wouldn't waste my time with them. I prefer to see Apple through the eyes of the founder of Oculus Rift, who replied when asked why there was no VR experience on Apple he replied; "That is up to Apple and if they ever release a good computer we will do it"!
So my advice to the O/P, who uses his GPU in the same way I use mine, is to go NVidia current gen if his budget can stretch to it.
BAHAHAHAA - I know so many people who use Apple stuff for video work,etc - so many companies use Apple hardware. In academia they are common.
Apple invented OpenCL - AMD and Apple worked with Adobe to help push CS over to OpenCL.
Apple uses AMD hardware in all its computers now - your emo raging at me still does not deflect from the point,Adobe has certified MORE AMD cards for use than Nvidia ones under OpenCL.
They use nothing but AMD cards now and Apple has pushed OpenCL massively for its own software. They invented it.
You are know backtracking on trying to show AMD has worse OpenCL performance,and yet so many of those links from last year and this year showed Nvidia was supporting upto version 1.2 and you are emo raging so much I said repeately,I had not looked at Pascal yet.
The only OpenCL bench I can see is Luxrender - where is all the video converting software showing Maxwell(or even Pascal) with its massive advantage??
Or this apparent lack of OpenCL2.0 support AMD is having.
The same when the OP said he was using mostly Power Director 14 and people noted Nvidia had some issues a few months ago.
i have the PC hooked up to my TV so i will need a DVI connector so that would rule the 470 out as it has none. So I'm looking at the 460 if the price is right and their is nothing better in that price range.
