Advice for GPU Purchase

used 980 ti for the price of a rx 480 sounds like the best option. it's the better card of the two and a 1070 for 1080p is a bit overkill and much more expensive.

get a single 480 8gb or if you can get 980ti cheaply use that, and wait for vega.

assuming they're all at the same price, get the 980Ti SC. The 980Ti OC's to better perf than 1070's on average, and used they can be cheap AF

lower on the budget stack, go for the 480 every time

980 Ti or 1070. Both are faster than the RX 480 and for triple 1080p, you'll want the extra power. Plus, adobe products tend to run faster with Cuda Acceleration as opposed to OpenCL.

Buy this real fast. $239 for the next 5 hours.
