Please don't compare two cards that are in two completely different price segments. A 980ti can be ordered for 400$, a 480 is half of that price. Right now the difference in performance is 53%. This margin is likely to get cut down as on the one hand custom 480s will be much faster than...

Strongly agree.

Me too. I also like to read his posts.

nVidia just lowered the prices for new gtx980ti, 980 and 970 so that used cards can't be sold properly. 980ti is available on newegg for 460$. Pretty much an effect of the 480...

Nope. If you look on the upgrade price for other Cards you will see that prices are quite high there: MSI 1080 + 879€. You can get that card for 719$ here and for and for 787€ here. In this list upgrading to this card is for 879€. This might be due to the unavailability of that card but let's...

The rx480 (especially with that price tag) has more impact on gtx 1080 sales figures than it seems on first sight. Although the 1080 and the rx480 are in a completly different price segment, the price of the rx480 affects the price of used 980ti. Many enthusiasts buy the top range card every...

RX480 launch date will be June 29th. The Geforce 1080 has been launched on May 27th. Now lets check availability on nVidias website: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1080 Out of Stock. So the gtx 1080 is available only on paper - now THAT is a paper launch.

I'd rather expect them to be sold within 200 and 250€ and I wouldn't be surprised if we'd see more rx 480s in stores than 1070s and 1080s although they have been (paper) launched some weeks early. In other words I expect full stocks so that cards can really be bought.

I just registered for that answer. First of all I want to thank you RussianSensation for your brilliant posts. Whenever I see your name I can be sure that the post is worth reading. As fas as I know a 1080p 60hz does not even need a 480, in this scenario a 470 could be even the better solution...
