...No way you spank another GPU by 100% with 2 less TFLOPs, smaller memory bus and smaller memory banks.
I felt similarly: That the "basic underlying numbers" don't fully add up to a crushing defeat of RX-480. Much depends on what was actually measured and how it was measured.
Nvidia makes really good stuff -- no argument there. Still, I have found one needs to be extra careful taking their official-word, "look behind the curtain" (i.e. wait for the unbiased reviews that may indicate what are they are leaving unsaid).
Spoken like the AMD fan I am
Then again,
RX480 is 5.8TFLOPS 1070 is 6.4 TFLOPS,
And the Performance gap is pretty big.
But the GPU Architecture's are vastly different in size,
