So, I have always been an NVIDIA fanboy (No secret- I have owned AMD products before, don't really degrade them, but its just been a tradition. And yes was flipping over the GTX 1080), but AMD's RX480 (Still haven't used one, but hope to get one soon) just seems to have hit a home run. It costs 200$'s and delivers 5 TFLOPs, that's almost 40$ per TFLOP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOPS), that does make a very persuasive argument. I moved away from gaming for a few years now and I mostly use GPU's now to do calculations, and 40$'s per TFLOP makes a very persuasive argument to move to AMD and OpenCL, compared with NVIDIA's 77.8$'s per TFLOP.

Own the power of a super computer for just 200$'s (As of 5/6/2016)
