No, according to rumors, not close. Based on rumors, one would have to CrossFire two RX 480 to get nearly one 1080.

The goal with the first AMD cards is full performance on 1440p (2K) monitors (like my 32 inch center monitor) -- at relatively low cost. However, the 1080 seems aimed at three 2K monitors (at least I would use it that way) -- maximum performance at maximum price.
