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 RX 480 brings new features and GTX 970/R9 390 performance to a $239 card, WattMan brings new features to Radeon overclocking that was not present in OverDrive, RX 480 is a fast midrange card and a good replacement for the power-hungry R9 390
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
