lol... Future proof? DX12 is the future, and nvidias cards are meant for DX11, to be honest. And, AMD's current line up isn't exactly "future proof" either.

I didn't even catch the RX 480, thing. Don't change that card. I have an R9 390x, and I wont upgrade to the 1080.

You never told us what games you like to play, nor the FPS, or resolutions you play these games at. Do you have a 4k monitor? No? Do you have a 75+ hertz monitor? No?

What is wrong with these games you are playing? What is this GTX 1080 supposed to fix? You're going to be hurting yourself anyway because as more and more titles take advantage of DX12, the GTX 1080 will look worse and worse.

I mean, games already, for me, run great. I can run everything at least 1080p @ 60 FPS minimum, with good graphics that looks better than anything on console. The exception to this is when I'm streaming. Then, I gotta pull all the notches down to the lowest setting.

So, I just can't see why you want to upgrade.
