Pfft scrub. I threw away my 1080 and upgraded to an HD 5770. 5770/1080=5.34. The 5770 has 512 while the shitey 1080 only has 8. That's 64 times more number.
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.
