I wouldn't make those assumptions yet.

Going by that leak, it seems like there won't be a 480X card (unless AMD decides to launch a card named RX 480X, and those are too many X), and given that we don't know how will big of an impact on the performance will the enhancements to the CUs bring or its actual retail price, I wouldn't start comparing it to Nvidia's offerings.

Also, the number of DX12 games right now is quite small (are there even a dozen games?), and that won't change overnight, ie. DX11 performance will still be more important.

Benchmarks for the R9 480x already leaked though. According to those benchmarks, it's performance is on par with the R9 Fury (non-X variant). R9 Fury tops the 1070 in some DX12 games. That being said, I agree with you about DX11, it will still be the standard for another couple of years, and the 1070 has a pretty big advantage in DX11 games.

You mean synthetic benchmarks like this one, or real benches with games? If it's the later, please post them, but if it's the former... sorry, but they aren't reliable.
