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...

Checking out the reviews, it turns out that it does.

TechPowerUp has a section in its review for Performance per dollar (note that they also have a 1060 with a third party cooler and overclocked)

The MSI GTX 1060 is $289, and the Founders Edition is $299, so yes, the 480 still gives better performance x dollarthan those two cards. But if you can find a 1060 at $249, that will be the card to get.
