Thats why im contemplating to get AMD rx480, because i know damn sure AMD will release a better RX variant after they released the lower end like 470 and 460.

Just like they do with Fury cards last time.

Plus the pricing of RX480 is very expensive, but considerable since the local markets here might not be enough for a fully licensed distributor to survive If they match the US retails.

And of course we all can take the best solution and buy Pascals, but it seems overkill if play at 1080p monitor.

So yeah, will have to wait further before deciding, but for now I am more interested on what Async Compute can bring us in the future.

Since I dont play games that much like before, I always have that half a year gap before buying new games (heck i still havent finish witcher 3 or doom). So by the time I buy latest games most probabbly they already fully utilize dx12 or vulkan.

And due to this also i damn scared to jump back to nvidia, since the cards does not age well compared to AMD, once u jump, be ready for yearly or dual yearly card upgrade to maintain the performance.

I remembered it was this year I wanted to get gtx970, and look at current situation when dx12 and async compute implemented? Wooh damn lucky i didnt make the jump and wait further.

Well thats just me personally, I prefer long term usage than top performer, so far AMD cards does age very well. Their drivers seems to keep old cards like mine performing as good as current gens.

But for those who have money and heavy gamers, I think NVIDIA can help them getting the best performing card currently.
