If the OC leaks about the 480 are true and you can get 1.6GHz on stock cooler (around 25% performance increase), and the non OCed card is around 980 performance, then if you take the frame rates of the 980 in pic related and add 25% of that number on, then the result is 90% of the 1070's performance.
This is just speculation on speculation though, so take it as you will.
That could be even more with an aftermarket cooler

I doubt the 25% OC, maybe with a serious cooler on it. It's stock performance will be somewhere in the ballpark of 980 to R9 Nano, giving it about 75-80% of the performance of the 1070 for about 52% of the price. Compared to the 1080, about 57-63% of the performance for about 33% of the price.
Honestly I would not buy a 1070 or a 1080 at this point unless I planned to buy 2 of them for gaming at 4k. 2 480s in crossfire will outperform a 1080 even taking into consideration scaling. And you could put that extra money towards a nice monitor with freesync/frame pacing enable.

>he fell for the 480 CF meme If you want tippity top performance go for the 1080. If you want better performance per dollar get the RX 480
