So the story is i have my old friend 290x for a long time . She is hot , in both meaning. So i just wonder should i switch to at least RX 470 or just go for RX 480 ? No GTX 1060 , in my country those boy are too expensive
 
Solution
Game debate shows the rx470 about 16% slower than the r9 290x and the rx480 about 9% faster than the r9 290x.

See the November 2016 issue of Maximum Computing for testing of top 10 cards for price/performance. RX480 4GB wins hands down.

I mean , i'm only need a graphic card on 290x level , it is enough for my gaming need , only in full HD so.....
The MSI 290x is hot and power hungry , so i think for a new one .
Then RX 470 is not enough to replace 290x ?
Is it too weak ? How many percent less ?
Thank you :)
