It's only a very slight upgrade. I wouldn't say it's worth it.

 

Also, the R9 280 does support 3 monitors, one of the monitors (or more) need to be connected via Displayport though.

I currently have a GTX 780 in my gaming PC and i'm thinking of upgrading my hardware! Is the RX 480 is a good upgrade? I currently have 3 monitors will it support it? My last AMD card (r9 280) couldn't support it so I got my 780!

Its not really an upgrade at all.

nope, not worth it.

 

a gtx 1070 will be an upgrade.

That website is only saying 28% due to the TFlops of the card whih doesn't equal performance.

 

Really a rx 480 is about 9-10 better yhen a 780.

Yes , it would be a pretty significant upgrade . The 480 is slightly faster than the gtx 970 , which is in turn faster than the 780ti and significantly faster than the 780

You would only see big improvements going to a 1070/1080, anything less really isn't worth the money to upgrade to.

It's an upgrade, but one or more of your monitors will need to use DisplayPort.
