Gtx 980ti vs Rx 480 Xfire vs Gtx 1070? (all stock edition)

1070 from far

I'd go with a 1070, I don't want to bother with sli and potential bad/unsupported scaling in some games.

GTX 1070

In terms of strength, it's simple.

1070>980ti>RX 480.

With the gap between 1070 & the 980ti being bigger than between that of the RX480 and the 980ti.

In terms of performance per $/€/£ it's

RX 480>1070>980ti

CrossFire and SLI aren't supported in all of the games and when you choose between the 980ti and 1070 then it's obviously the 1070 :3

1070

money wise? go with AMD480
if not, got with 1070, strongest. currently 980 is a waste of money imo
maybe you can find a price cut or something to make it worth it

480

If you don't want to pay much go with 480. If you want performance, go with 1070.

Here's a couple of benchmarks to help you make a decision.

So NOBODY asked OP what was his preferred resolution to play, his PC components (to know if it could be bottlenecked), neither no one mentioned Vulkan and Dx12, nor the fact that W10 would provide a better mixture or "sharing" of vgas. Also, devs usually go with the paying ads company, in the past and maybe present it always was nvidia's, so we saw their logo in pretty much every game except a very few ones. Now, with the new api and tech, things may or may not change.. we'll see.. Maybe this time devs go with the better tech, proven already in your beloved DOOM.

Want to stick with expensive and not quite proved performance? go nvidia
Want a very competitive priced card that can also throw a punch? go amd. BUT I suggest you not to buy reference, for neither brand, pick a custom one you'll thank me later.

Good luck bud :)

I don't know about the prices in your country, but here 1070 costs 200€ more than 480 does. Taking this into consideration, I can't see why would you even bother to compare these 2.

The 480 is a good deal at the MSRP of $240 (8g model) IF you can find it for that price. Every listing on Amazon is $300 or higher and everywhere that is listing it for the $240 price is out of stock.

If you want maximum power now, can afford paying an extra, and will keep it only 1 year at most, GTX 1070.
If you can cope with slightly less power now, want to pay a bit less, and want a more future-proof card, Rx 480.

But, before choosing, we should know the rest of your configuration: CPU, amount of RAM, and most importantly, your power supply.

if u don't have budget problem go with 1070 for 2K gaming.

I'd go with the Rx 480 simply because I'm all about bang for the buck. Ofc, I also have no intention on playing on higher then 1080p myself.
