All I can find about the rx490 is that it was supposed to have release information at some reveal on 12/13, but I can't find any such information. Did anything come out?
 
Solution
said info was that AMD held a press conference about it's coming ZEN (CPU) and Vega (GPU) toys at that date. However no real information was given.
The speculation that 490 would be using Vega is also in doubt since it is far more likely that new chip will be new series so more likely 590 than 490

the new Vega card should come out in late december/early january, that is all that is known.
Be it 490 or 590 or whatever.
If it beats 1080 like AMD claims it does (by how much? who knows.. driver optimization and all such and... so far only AMD has been testing it, Will it hold same in 3rd party tests too?) it will lower 1080 price, I think.
1080 Ti performance is still also in air but.. if new AMD toy competes with 1080 and beats it, yes.. I think it would also cause pressure on Ti price.

Since no AMD or 1080 Ti performance/price is known at the moment, it is all just speculation
