Compare to the GeForce GTX 970

Before you go all bonkers about this video card you might want to look at the real competition, which is the GeForce GTX 970. You can see the performance comparison at the PassMark webpage. the GTX 970 has a score of 8658 and the Radeon RX 480 has a score of 7686. The GTX 970 costs $40 more, and for my money the lousy $40 buys you a significant difference in performance for the whole time you use the card. The GTX 970 has a great reputation and has stood the test of time with gamers. The Radeon RX 480 lacks performance, and has not yet endured the gamer tests. Look at the PassMark web page to see the results of their tests: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
