AMD's problem is that the 470 may put the 480 in a bad position. The 480 can't play games at 1440 at max settings... heck, as Pemalite said, it can't even play some games at 1080p at max. Why should anyone buy the 480 when the 470 isn't that far behind at 1080p but costs $50/100 less?

I suspect we'll see a price cut on 480 before long. Between 470 and Nvidia's 1060, 480 isn't a very good deal at the current price. Knock $20-30 off the price though, and it becomes a much better deal.

It will depends on if Nivida's 1060 delivers a performance worth the extra price...
