The best Rx 480 and the best 580?

I would like to compare them for my budget (about $450 aud)

The RX 580 is literally a RX 480 with a small clock boost. The XFX GTR and ASUS STRIX RX 480 8GBs can be found for around $350. The GIGABYTE Aorus and Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GBs can be found for around $400. Whether or not the $50 extra is worth it is up to you. IMO, it's not.

You should buy the 580 as it is the new line up (considering you're shopping new), their pricing is supposedly the same.

I'd say this is alot like the decision of buying a 6700k vs a 7700k. If the price difference isn't large get the newer one but if the price difference is large then I would say stick with the older one as the performance difference doesn't warrant pay a ton more for the newer variant.

RX 580 is just a refined version of RX 480...nothing else

wait for Vega. or, go for a GTX 1070. it's worth it, considering the fact that most AAA titles will run better on Nvidia's side.

RX 580 cost 30$ more. I don't know if its worth it. My first time building and I cannot seem to pick between RX 480 and RX 580. I don't know if 30$ worth it for ~5-10 FPS increase.
