And all that at a rather reasonable price of roughly 269 USD.

Well what do you know, it almost reaches the Fury GPU's performance in Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX12 now with those optimizations, impressive.
(Catching up to the 1060 as well at higher resolutions.)
EDIT: DOOM is seeing some improvements as well via Async though higher resolutions tax the GPU which results in smaller gains.
(A decent gain of 6 - 7 FPS on 1080p although the GPU is already running the game at 120+ FPS at that res though it tanks after that down to 80 at 1440p and then 40 at 2160p though at 1080p it might be able to retain those 120+ framerate figures now even on more demanding levels although probably not all the time but still good for people using 120hz monitors and at 1440p 60+ should be viable too though above that framerate might drop to around 30-ish at 2160p which is a bit low for a fast paced shooter like this.)
EDIT: 8 GB VRAM should allow for "Nightmare" texture quality too although shadows might tax the GPU a bit more.

Thank you, HH. I know it was annoying but these are now valid results.

Well, well... he actually have one. Who is triggered now, Noisiv?
btw, use latest 16.7.3, gives a little boost (if that is your card).
I am using 16.7.3.
Bug in AMD installer results in displaying it as 16.7.2
Now find some other thread to look silly
