GTX 1070 or 480?

Gtx 1070 or RX 480
Its gana be less than $240
I want to sli or crossfire in a year or two when i need a bit more power (the 1070 and 480 should be cheaper down the line than the newer gpu that will come out in a year or two)

personally. I would go with the 480, more specifically the MSI RADEON RX 480 GAMING X 4G

what about the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 480. People told me that the nitro plus is the best

that one is equally good, but at that point it comes down to brand preference, I like msi a bit better for the OCing then sapphire, but you cant go wrong with either

The RX 480 competes with the GTX 1060 not the 1070. AMD doesn't have a card equivalent to the 1070.

The 1060 is faster than the 480.

yes that 1060 does beat out that 480 in most things, but I was comparing cards under the 240 price range, and NVidia doesn't have much of the 1060 line under 240, and I'm a bit more of a fan of amd over NVidia in general

1060/480 is good for 1080p. A 1070 is best for 1440p. A 1080 for 4k. You'd have to go old school with a R9-295x2 for amd 4k or a fury/furyX for 1440p.

The gtx1060 will not sli, you'd need a more expensive gtx1070 for that. The 480 will crossfire.
