I was waiting to build my new computer until the new GPU's came out (read: 1070 and 1080), but thinking more about it, it seems the 1070 (which is the one I would go for, since it is cheaper) is about the same as the R9 390...same memory size and speed, 8 GB of GDDR5. I know this is the AMD forum, but does anyone know what the difference would be between the 1070 and the 390? Doesn't seem like there is any difference to me.
My second question is, do I just go for an R9 390 (say a Sapphire) or do I wait for the RX 480? I don't care about VR yet, and it seems AMD is not trying to go for enthusiast cards anymore, although there will be an 8 GB version of the RX eventually I've read. I'm really thinking seriously about building my computer next month either with the RX or a 390. Any input you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.
