I like the Radeon RX 480, I really do. But considering it is so very close to the 390 series I do foresee a problem. Anyone that is already in that performance bracket will simply skip this product and wait for Vega (AMD's future replacement for the 390...
At just $398, about the same price as the cheapest GeForce GTX 1070 you can find, or $478 for a pair of 8 GB cards like those we have, Radeon RX 480 CrossFire is not a viable solution if you plan to buy two cards upfront. When averaged over all our games...

The reference cooler is fine for stock clocks but falls way short for overclocking unless the fan speed is cranked up, Drivers are somewhat immature and they are expected to improve as is typical of new architecture, We cannot comment on the $199 4GB vers
