So with this card I think AMD just cannibalized their own 480. When overclocked it's faster than the 480 and OC v OC would be very close. All while using less power. This is the AMD card to get right here folks.

Beats the 970, looks like Nvidia will have to cut the 970 prices to $200 or less. Guess its time for me to upgrade soon.

Its on pair with 970 for 170$, thats not bad at all. I dont see point of 8GB tho, 4GB is enough for 470 meaning its suited for 1080p only.

Vulcan tests is also interesting where it beats even 1060 which 100$ more.

Some games are becoming VRAM hogs even at 1920x1080. Its a great price, but I don't see Nvidia cutting 970 prices as that card is EOL. Now retailers may cut prices to move stock.

I have to say there is no way I would suggest the 480 over the 470. It's like 670 v 680.

Depends on the region pricing and availability. Does not mean 470 will cannibalize anything. Its a great little card for that price.
