It sounds like you didn't quite read the post you are responding to. TFlops only tells you about shaders. They do 2 floating point operations per clock, that times clockrate gives 5.8 for RX 480. But uh oh, RX 480 somehow consumes 2.5-ish less power (node shrink only gives about 1.7)...

I keep hearing about Pascal being sold out... and that surprises me. As far as Germany goes, they are in stock for weeks (first at shameless 499/789€, now the latter is 744€ I think, still way beyond reasonable). It is a lovely spin and twist (many wouldn't even get what's wrong)...

Good Lord of FUD, WTF did I just read? VASTLY (twice, Karl, TWICE!!!) superior perf/$ card is somehow... worse value? :D :D :D Jeez. If you are comparing "increase", compare it to price increase too :D. 7970 is what, 100$-ish today? (probably more, but let's be generous). 480 =>...

It really depends on the price you can sell it for and performance that you are after. 480 is expected to be 390x-ish, which is 10% faster than your 390 and consume less than a half of the power, possibly 2.5 times less.
