There are some very demanding games out there, specially with everything maxed out. I'd say that the RX 480 will be best used for 1080p gaming.

 

Also, here's a pic of Sapphire's Nitro version of the RX 480

The article also mentions that some reviewers already have the card, so we could get some leaks in the coming days/weeks.

That's fine, I only have a 1080p monitor. This card should allow me to max most games at 1080p for at least 2 years, which is great for $200, considering the fact that my current Geforce 950 only cost $40 less and can only max older games. Unless Nvidia blows me away with 1060 pricing and specs, I think I'll probably be getting one of these next time I upgrade. 

I'd be very surprised if Nvidia's GTX 1060 (which will allegedly will come between 970 and 980 in performance) doesn't compete against this card in both price and performance.

My only doubt is if the 1060 will also have 4 and 8GB variants.
