So here's the deal: I've finally decided to not cheap out on a graphics card. I want to get an RX gpu but not sure which version to get. My processor is a FX 6300 so the RX 480 is out of the question due to bottlenecking. So now I have the choice of the RX 470 and 460. I would like a 4gb variant if possible. I do not want to have to pay $180+ for the 470. I'd get it if it was the $150 that it was supposed to be. Should I get a 460 for $130 if they release it at that price? Or should I ultimately go for a Nvidia gpu? Thanks in advance for all the answers
Which AMD RX Graphics Card Should I Get?

"FX 6300 so the RX 480 is out of the question due to bottlenecking" my opinion the rx480 is about the same performance rank as a r290x. and to me the r290x is a good match up the fx6300. just my view.
just wondering what is your current GPU?

If the 6300 is running at stock speeds, yeah, the rx480 will be throttled. If that 6300 is pushing @4.5GHz OC, the Rx480 won't be throttled by much if any, a lot depends on the exact game. So Mebe not rule out the 480 just yet.
The 480 bumps heads with the 390/390x depending on game, a few it's worse than the 390,a few it's better than a 390x. Not really quite as equitable to a 290x which it beats handily in everything.
Generally the top end of balance for a 6300 is the 380x, so in honesty, the 480 won't see any bottleneck, it may just be a matter of not being able to live up to its full potential. This is also true of any game that runs absolute maxed out settings and still shows less than 99% gpu usage. Chances are you'll barely ever use the full potential of any gpu, so being slightly oversized is no big deal at all.

I kinda want to get a rx 470 but they released it at a high price than what was expected. Here's one article on the prices that they SHOULD of released with: http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-prices-radeon/ There was even a 8gb model of the 470 that was supposed to be released at the current 4gb price. Here's a video on the bottleneck issue: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B58ciXUTlA8 So I really don't know right now about what I should do. I really don't wanna get a 480 due to that issue and I don't plan on overclocking quite yet.

I read somewhere that there maybe a 490 released in 1st quarter next year, probably compete with the 1070. Or knowing amd, they'll prolly do something off the wall like a 495x2 to compete with the 1080ti
