I don't think anybody expects 980ti level performance.
Most people expect 390x/980 performance.. (which honestly doesn't stroke with 470 released benchmarks.).
Others expect Fury performance (e.g. between 980 and 980ti) about 20% slower then 1070
Note that Gibbo's comment regarding 980 Ti level performance was in relation to an overclocked RX 480, not a reference clocked RX 480.
If the RX 480 is equal to a 390X/980, then at 1500 MHz it should perform within 5% of a 980 Ti (which is certainly close enough to "rival" it, which Gibbo said it couldn't).
So If Gibbo is right, then either we shouldn't expect being able to get 1500 MHz out of RX 480 (which would also invalidate the rumors of custom cards coming out at 1500 MHz), or we shouldn't expect the RX 480 to match a 390X/980 at stock clocks.
