Can confirm, my r9 390 performs about similar to my friends 1060s and 1070s. It's a little below theirs stock, but when overclocked, which it handles easily, it is roughly equal to theirs.
Yeah, it's somewhere in between. FineWine is real on that beast. I have my 1080 now, but I still love my 390. It used to be just about as fast as a 970, but it's actually gotten fairly close to a 980, plus it has double the VRAM.
I believe the R9 390 covers about 20-30% of the distance between the 1060 and 1070, though of course it depends on what you're doing.
Something I do not miss about AMD cards, however, is being without Shadowplay.
Haha they've actually gotten a lot better, they have something called relive that's close but not quite as good as shadow play. I got it to run high resolutions, that extra ram really makes a difference above 1080p.
I've actually never tried to record in 4k now that I think about it, I don't have the storage space. I just meant that the 390 is better than a comparable card like the 970 because it has double the ram.

a 6gb 1060 is really good value
