[yuuhuu]

guys Ive been without a gpu for 3 month, my old one died, now im hering alot about vulkan api and how better the rx 480 got coming close to to even a 1070 and I rly dont want to wait anymore, even though amd might put out more info on the 490 is it worth the wait I just want to plays 1080p 60fps for the next 2 years will the 1070 do the job ore will it go the rout of maxwell when games start using vulkan a direct x 12 and have my self 449$ card trashed by 240 amd card ? I dont want to regret waiting a month or 2 and lose out in the long run.

If you don't want regrets, get a 1070. Vulkan will remain a niche thing, and the 1070 will perform admirably in DX12 as Nvidia "fixed" what made their cards underperform in DX12 in teh current gen

1070 is absolutely fine. Yes vulkan pushes the AMd stuff way above nvidia on select titles but no doubt nvidia will respond. My 390 is 40fps above the 970 on Doom for example.

BUT 1070 more powerful than anything from camp red right now.

As an AMD fan, i want you to know that rx480 and the Gtx 1070 is nowhere close and they will never be, rx 480 is a mainstream card, on the other hand 1070 is a High-end card, of course there is one or two game favor a company but at the end of the day %80 of AAA games has to be equal so you'll not going to have a problem. My advice is if you have budget for 1070, go for it, it's an awesome card, waiting worth it for the last months for getting the finfet cards but even if AMD offers something better than 1070 for same price it'll not going to be more than %10 difference.
