Sorry, I meant more expensive than the 480. No I wouldn't expect anything beasty, I just need 1080p and 60fps as that's the best my monitor can do, and my motherboard can't do SLI. I will probably get the 480 and then when it's run its course a few years down the line get the equivalent at the time

The 1080p 60fps part isn't completely guaranteed going by those benches though, at least for a single card and going double ends up taking another free slot that could be used for another better card or something else. I dunno how long the 480 will even last going by those benches, the outcome doesn't look as good as originally hoped. 

What do you (and other guys) think about the RX 480 against the GTX 970 or the GTX 780 Ti? I could get both the nVidia cards for <£200 on eBay, what would be the best option in performance alone, as they'd be cheaper than the 480?

I'll definitely wait and see what the price and performance of the 1060 is too, if that's around $300 and beats the 480 by a fair bit, I could pick on up in the US for $300 which is around £220.

 

EDIT: Even the 970 OC is around £200, that matches the 980 in performance doesn't it?
