Considering New GPU

[TheNewGuyWhoNeedsHelp]

So I want to buy a new GPU preferrably one of AMD's 480s. I currently have a 960, and it works pretty well, but I want to be able to play more games in the future at higher settings with great FPS and also record. With Nvidia there's shadowplay, is there anything for AMD?

AMD have their 'gaming evolved' app. which comes bundled with their crimson driver.

i was using amd from around the time an athlon hit 1Ghz, so no brand bashing here, but a 480 is the way to go, if you have a budget limit and play at 1080/1440p max res.
the 1060 will be faster/cooler/quieter and 6gb vram are enough (the 480 isnt really fast enough to make use of 8gb).
its able to do 1080p "maxed" out (driver/games) and with lower settings even 1440p.
get the cheapest "custom" card (2 fan). with limits maxed for temp/power (in afterburner), mine is clocking 2025-2050 (boost), and practically twice as fast as 960 (~15K for Perf, ~6200 Xtreme in 3Dmark 11)
