Well looks like Amd is still caring somewhat about Gpu miners with this new driver . Still if the new price hike is true then it won't be as good as just getting some 580 or 480. Yes I know the formats screwed up but I can't fix it on mobile.

It has to be your Cpu that is bottlenecking the card

that looks pretty good i will add it to my list @xGGAx Tanks

are you sure you installed the cooler properly with enough thermal paste? if you want to upgrade just use a hyper 212 evo if you dont want to shell out money.

You can crossfire 480s without the band, it goes through the pcie slot. they dont use the cables anymore.

Everybody grab their tin foil hats .

the rx 480 is a more powerfull card get that.

guys it only runs 4k when watching movies guys!

did you make sure everything is plugged in, and did you turn your psu back on?

honestley you can get more performance from amd right now because they are newer cards and will perform better in dx12 games. the 470 is projected to be better than a 970. I would wait to buy a card untill the 470 releases to see the performance difference. (also it seems to be priced at 150.)

I dont think its just lmg , i think its almost the whole gaming community, its because amd has been sitting on ass for the pass couple of years and nvidia, hasnt. Now by no means am i a nvidia fanboy , i hate their guts.but I dont think to me they showed bias to the 1060 over the rx480, they still reccomend buying the highest aib partner card than buying the lowest priced 1060 card.

are you sure? the distance between 12345678910 is nowhere near to the distance that the earth is to mars.

380 > 270 & 680.

i wouldnt trust task manager, use something like cpu z instead, 

I like pie

you could always start with one 480 and then later upgrade to crossfire though.

How this came to be: I first became interested in computers when i started watching Linus on YouTube, I wanted to build my own but lacked the funds to build anything ( I'm still in school ). So i started making that dough selling sushi at school from an uncles recipe. (no I am not Asian so don't ask how he got it). This combined with all the birthday and Christmas money, I finally had some cash. I knew from the start i couldn't get the latest and greatest things from Intel so I looked at AMD and their budget processors. I wanted to get the 860k but me and my stupid self saw that 15 dollar motherboard and just had to have it, The guy selling it on eBay said it was not tested and so i never should have bid on it, but low and behold i won the auction for a measly $15 dollars so it was a risk i could take. Since i was locked to only Socket Fm2 Processors i selected the Athlon 760k. It was new old stock from a random person on eBay but $50 dollars for a "Quad Core" Cpu was good for me. These first buys on eBay got me not one but two 30 dollar off coupons which i then used on the storage and ram. I then proceeded to buy the 6870 and Case which was nice at first but with no cable management it was horrid.
When installing i had some problems with the computer. At first i thought the motherboard was dead because it wouldn't post, but it turned out it was a problem with one of the Ram slots, Thats why I only have one stick.  
 
Note- The picture included was when i was having problems with running dual psu for cheapness, AND yes the pictures are horrid! I am not a photographer. 
I would like you guys to comment on how I did and what improvments I can make in the future .
