but the total TFLOPs is 480>470>1060
so the performance of AMD GPUs will increase over time

This is our situation over here
the same in the UK
The 980 is naturally the most consistent of the bunch
But who knows what Nvidia will do
gtx 1060
Man, 970s are so cheap
https://my.mixtape.moe/yskvwm.png
That's about 280 bucks average
Because it has 500 MB "fake" memory remember?
With lows, hitting about 260 bucks
so its 3.5 GB
That doesn't affect real time performance, though
Thing with the 970 is that it overclocks very well
it does if you attempt to access the last 0.5 gb
I was unclear with that, I meant actual performance index
Ah.
It sits somewhere near the 480 in DX11 games
And since you can clock it up to a 980 terms of pure speed, it's definitely an attractive option now
Presumably, the 480 is better optimized for future DX12 games though
It is
But the thing is
Nvidia's DX12 optimizations haven't been very impressive
I dont give a shit about new games that very much
If it can handle the games I already have well
My mobile lifestyle precludes me to having an APU-based m-ITX build though
You have to remember all games up until now is DX11 based
correct
Or the Razer dock ™
m-ITX with scorpio APU
APU's are comfy though
With DX12 MultiGPU (if used) I can just assume they will use influence to keep SLI etc standard API being used
You could, if the APU was good enough, use the APUs extra GPU juice to boost the card a bit
or am I out of my mind now ._.
I'm one of those guys that's waiting on what Zen has to offer in terms of APUs
Must be better than Bulldozer/Excavator cores
(and other CPUs in general)
