What is the best 150-180 dollar Gaming GPU i would like to play BO3, Overwatch, Witcher 3 Star wars Battlefront on medium, and GTA V.

For sure the 480 is a very good 1080p card and will drive the 970 to the Non Sale/rebate 200$ range. Sadly the OCs for 1500mhz were a lie on this card. Someone could only get like 1360/2050 and i dont think it was stable. We shall see on the beat mode/480x edition

Yep:
1080p 60Hz => 480
1080p 144Hz and 1440p 60Hz => GTX 1070
1440p 144HZ => GTX 1080
4k => stack overflow. wait for better cards

I already have a 1070 with my 6700k.but i am building a duel xeon rig and it's ether going to have crossfire 480's in it or sli 970's.

Still trying to go over the 480 benchmarks in Doom,witcher,overwatch and CS go and compare them to 970 benchmarks but form what I've seen in Doom
the 980 has a good 25-30fps over the 480 with it beening stable at 105ish and highs in the low 130's. The 480 is stable around 75ish with highs in the 100fps range. The 970 i'm not so sure as it's not the same Location but it looks to be maybe a touch slower but it does not have the dips like the 480.
What do you think about the benchamrks? The videos are back up now at WCCFTECH

I seen the 480 have better FPS than the 970 by like 15-25 FPS more and its only 400 dollars for crossfire.

In AOS it was like 8% faster. The benchmarks are there for the 480 just hard to really put a number value on them. I can tell the difference between the 980 and 480 but the 480 vs 970 is very similar. I do feel like the 480 has the edge by about 4-6%.

the 480 i seen in overwatch did 85-120 FPS the gtx 970 i seen did 70-90 FPS all cards had max settings with similar CPU's and same ram. So yeah you are right on the 4-6 percent difference thats slightly more then a 6 percent difference but close enough. I would say more like 10-12 percent difference.

Still nothing AMD said cause they said the card with a I5 and around 64GB ram will get about 140 FPS but i doubt the ram will make that muc of a difference maybe like 10 FPS at most.

I would say the avg was 103 in Overwatch. The GPU is maxxed with an i5 No Ram or i7 going to change that.

I seen the same video, but for 200 dollars or 400 crossfire you cant go wrong.

That video seems kinda fake, I've seen other Overwatch videos playing way better in that fps range.

It could be there settings are lower, lower resolution, better CPU/RAM/MOBO (MOBO for overclocking capabilities not that it helps but still if he overclocked it will then help.) but it does depend on multiple other factors. also did that person have the AMD RX 480 or did he have a like 980/980 TI or better??

At this point, it's no longer worth speculationg. The real benchmarks are coming in a couple of days.
