What do you guys think? I'm squeezing the juice out of my A8. It turbos up to 3.9Ghz The RX 480 seems great, but it's overkill for my setup. I think the RX 470 will suffice (plus that $150 is perfect), and I'm hoping it's better than my GTX 960 OC (boost to ~1250Mhz). Just want something to get me 1080p60fps in Mass Effect Andromeda.
 
Solution
The RX 470 should be a bit faster than a GTX 960 overclocked, but maybe not fast enough to swap out because of your CPU. You'll have to look up benchmarks for your CPU and the game to see how it will scale with a faster video card.
