I read a review last night of that card and in Tomb Raider it could only do ~52fps average. So even with a top card like that you will have to turn the settings down in some games.
I have decided to just run my demanding games in 1080p. They still look great. Plus I can probably get by with my 280x for another year if I have to. We are going to need Vega and Big Pascal for proper 4k gaming. You could probably get by with a GTX 980 Ti or a GTX 1070 but you will be turning settings down in a lot of games. If I'm going to spend that much on a GPU I want an optimal experience.
If the right deal comes along I will bite. Otherwise I'm fine with what I have.
52fps for a single-player shooter? That's not bad - would you have to turn down settings just to get it higher than 52 fps average? I'd be fine with that (gsync or freesync would make it feel like 80fps anyway).
You just gotta buy a 8GB RX 480! Oh yes, you just gotta...!!!
Then it won't be the miso soup's fault anymore..
