I was going to do some RX 480/GTX 1070 comparisons between W10 and W7. Then W10 borked my W7 install and I won't bore you with the details.
So the following are Windows 7 benches. I've read that two RX 480s in Xfire are the budget giant (GTX 1080) killer, due to their performance and scaling. May be, but one GTX 1070 about doubles the performance of one RX 480 at 1080p, so I'll happily stick with a 1070. Both cards had a mild OC, 1330 MHz for the RX 480, and 2114 MHz for the GTX 1070. HWMonitor shows 2000 MHz for thr Radeon memory and 4007 MHz (!) for the 1070. Those numbers alone should about double the performance, so no surprises so far. I ran Catzilla a few times, but it lacks consistency, so take those numbers with a grain of salt. I tried a benchmark in one of my favorite games, War Thunder, but couldn't get screenshots so I'll just type out the results. Judging from the FPS in that one it doesn't work the card too hard. The CPU and RAM specs used are as listed in the sig.
This is the 480's Catzilla results, and temps. Max clocks are shown, as well. Catzilla. That puppy got warm. About doubled my old R7 260x score, though, so good showing for $250.
