So AMD 480 is a dud, not nearly the amazing deal after all

That would be a disaster for AMD. Even early 2017 would mean 9 months behind Nvidia, having absolutely nothing to offer at the high-end. How long was it when AMD was so far behind last time?

No it's gotta come out 2016. I know there are many people holding off from buying a 1080 or 1070 because they're waiting for more information about Vega. But I don't think high-end gamers can wait that long, another 8-9 months. Even I will have a tough time to wait that long, and I refuse to buy anything from Nvidia.

Damn!! Want nu computer now!!!

I want a new computer too but I'll be damned if I buy some cut down shit like the 1080.

Could you elaborate? I know it's a relatively small chip, but perhaps you mean something else?

What hardware do you have now and what are your upgrade plans?
