AMD Computex Livestream has begun, RX 480- 5+ tflops for $199, releasing June 29th

Most people running 390's still play at 1080p, so the 480 4GB with a decent cooler and OC will probably cost ~$230. That's right in range with price for a 1060, which is rumored to perform between a 970 and 980...so i think there will be close direct competition there in no time.

Well thanks to the 1080/1070 hype i just won a bid on an open box new EVGA 980Ti FTW for $440 last night. I had sold mine for $550 just 2 weeks ago getting caught into the hype.

I game in 4K and 2K, and i was just terrible disappointed in several factors- availability and price gouging of Founders 1080 cards and the poor overclocking of the 1070 performance. With overclocking the 980Ti begins to walk the 1070 easily and every fps counts at those resolutions, and that's with the 1070 boosting past 2Ghz. Pascal overclocking just doesn't scale as well as the big Maxwell cards it seems and the nerfed 1070 appears to have limted overclocking potential.

Its clear Nvidia clocked Pascal these high in reference form just to clear the hurdles of the underclocked big Maxwell reference cards.

I'm not waiting half the summer to get my hands on a 1080FTW or other non reference board cards to pay $720+ for it. That makes zero sense.

My 980Ti FTW will ride me into 1080Ti launch just fine and wont lose much more value than the going rates for 1070 as they are that comparable in games performance.
