I have seen this video recently : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CJBaZ9V2Eo

And i need some serious advice.
I am a little dissapointed about RX480 performance, is it really worth it?
I am looking for graphics card which is capable of running most of the games maxed out on 1080p, over 60FPS, is the RX480 still a good choise or not?
Which are your best recommendations folks?

RX 480, if true is going to be pitched somewhere about he performance of a 390 Ati card, at its stock settings.
A overclocked version of the Rx 480 may do slightly better in performance.

But going from a 270 card to an RX 480 you will be able to play most games with maxed out graphics settings in most games at a 1080p resolution at 60 Fps or more Michael.

NDA is due to be lifted today on the new RX 480 cards, so we should see a few bench test results for it running games.

About two hours to go before the NDA lift.

What i mean is ... i have seen some gameplays and benchmarks of gtx 1070 and it seems like it is even more suitable for FullHD 60p gaming , but im not sure if the price is worth it ... well i will wait till gtx 1060 will release so i can compare all those specs and performance i guess.

... Well i dont like rushing into things ... i guess i will just wait till all the cards came out and then i will decide which will be better. I guess the RX480 lacks a proper drivers to consider its true performance

That's very possible OP. The drivers may or may not play a huge role here, as they're prepared for release. This review was released before the other reviews, so a few days ago maybe it wasn't in it's final stage? Which makes me wonder how other "leaks" did it, even earlier?

Shady what's going on right now. Even if he asked AMD themslves just like he did NVIDIA to release information early, it still hurts consumers a lot, because a lot of people doubt getting a RX card on release. Maybe it's not a big issue though.
