Upgrading gtx 770 to rx480?

[Kuyabijan]

Would upgrading to an RX 480 from a GTX 770 4gb be a big upgrade? And/or worth it in your opinion?

Once we see RX 480 benchmarks we will know.

I'm in your same shoes. It's supposedly going to have equal performance to a 980(according to AMD), which would be a sizable upgrade.
Like turkey said though - waiting is the best thing to do at this moment.

I'm in your same shoes. I have the very base version of the 770 and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor lags a lot. It's the first game I've played that doesn't play well on it and it's really frustrating.

I can't wait to get the benchmarks. I'd be upgrading to the 8GB one I think, if I can sell my 770 for enough to get it. Thoughts?

Shadow of Mordor was always an intense game.

i have an msi gaming g series oc edition gtx 770 2gb

it does pretty good, i bought it on ebay used for 150$ including shipping, supposedly the original owner never used it for gaming, but only for media streaming, and i have it oc to 1280 core and it runs only around 62c @ 75% fanspeed and 99%-100% Gpu (witcher III on high) getting around 45fps

their are minimal benchmarks out as of now.

AOS FullHD, Crazy, 8xMSAA AMD rx480 34.2 fps Nvidia 970 30.3fps

With the price cut on 9x series cards if you can get a 970 in the 200-220 range. The performance is about equal.

Just to clarify: most reviews show the amd card to be a bit better than the 970, the 980 is 01 to 20% better. You can check on any review such as jaystwocents or linustech, or jeuxvideo.com

The 970 proved to be better in some games so that's not an accurate statement.
