I want to know which graphic cards perform better and also should i take this over the gtx 950 that i was planning on buying in a couple of months for my first pc build

I'd also appreciate a benchmark link to an RX-470. Thanks for the offer.

All we know for certain is that the RX-480 is similar to a GTX980 for most games. Since a GX980 is only 15% faster than a GTX970 it's probable the RX-470 will be below a GTX970.

Since the GTX970 is the cutoff performance point for VR, AMD would want to match that or be at least 10% below. Getting to 95% of the performance and not get the "VR READY" stamp doesn't seem like good positioning.

So my guess is the RX-470 will fall between the RX-380X and GTX970, with the RX-460 being close to a GTX960.

We can only make...

Are the benchmarks for the 470 from an independent source, or do we still only have leaks from AMD's in-house tests?

We can only make educated guess right now.

*A GTX970 is about 2X the performance of a GTX950, so frankly I'd save up for an RX-480. The RX-470 might only give a 50% FPS boost.

Also not sure why you compare the GTX970 and RX-470 when the price comparison would be for the GTX970 and an RX-480 8GB model.

I suggest getting something like THIS when prices and availability make sense in two months or so:

Asus Strix RX-480 8GB ($260USD?)

The 470 does 500 points worse in firestrike then the 970

As i see it the 480>970>470. That is all the Data that is out as of now that i know of. but for 1080p these cards are so close it comes down to price.

If there is any truth to this then I suspect they'd do what NVidia did and disable a quarter of the units of the RX-480. For NVidia that translates to about 82% the performance (it's not 75% due to other things being kept in the GPU, CPU etc).

As I said they'd want to get this up to GTX970 performance to get a VR READY logo so this is conceivable especially with a bit of overclocking. That would put this on par with GTX970 and the RX-480 about 10% faster than a GTX980.

RX-460 would be Polaris 11 (apparently half the cores of RX-480 or 50% to 60% the performance depending on clocks etc), so I guess RX-470 could be a cut-down Polaris 10 GPU.

So my prediction is roughly:

RX-460 -> R9-380

RX-470-> GTX970

RX-480-> GTX980 + 10%
