I don't know how to make this any more clear.
A $200 minimum spec GPU for VR is useless. A person who isn't willing to spend more than $200 on a GPU won't spend $500+ for the headset. By the time the headset is affordable, they won't use an the 480. They'll use a far better GPU that is out at the time that can actually handle VR games.
Overclocked 480 to 1400mhz equals stock 1070:
WOW if true!! If this is indeed accurate only the most blindly faithful would spend twice as much for 10% more performance!
That goes without saying but effective marketing will go a long way in ensuring AMD achieve their goal wrt marketshare.Which means that if it's going to be released before any new products from nvidia it will absolutely dominate the GTX 960/950.
Doubt that especially with the P10 rumored to be at not more than 2560 cores.If you would ask me it looks like the GPU has 1280-1536 GCN cores.

$399 for a headset that should match the quality of the current two. You're seriously underestimating how fast the price of headsets will march downward. I think it's only a matter of time before we see chinese knockoff headsets with the same panels and decent enough build quality at a fraction of the price.

Rofl, I hope we don't get Fury X'd again. Please no...
Have our hype levels peaked yet or do we still have a way to go?

Hopefully this is a power draw limited overclock due to the 6 pin and the stock cooler.Haha I'm just now beginning to power up my hype levels!
Everyone should be excited! If a 480 is really such an OC beast, then 1070 prices will go down to where nVidia advertised them and not $450 like they are currently. But even then.. a $200 card that offers the same game experience as a $380 card.. If true nVidia better be rolling out that good ole PR department.

That would be extremely embarrassing to nvidia if true. I'd really laugh if it is, but I'm doubting it.
How goes your previous critical statements on GTX1080 buyers running on cheap 1080p monitors?I don't know how to make this any more clear.

Thank god I'm not the only one. This is another instance of AMD marketing doing TERRIBLE.
Have you seen the arguments of the RX 480? People don't crossshop the GTX 1070/ RX480 because it's two different price brackets. $400+ and $200. But it's perfectly reasonable now to assume the RX480 price bracket purchasers are now interested in even far more expensive headsets than a GTX 1070? This is just insane.

You're not the only one who appears completely clueless to people's buying habits. Many people have their heart set on owning a dream something-or-other, and when you have your heart set on something it's often because you can't afford it (or else you'd already have something similar, or you know you can just buy it whenever you want). Taking 10-20% off the total cost is huge.
You obviously don't get the idea, so lets go back to the old staple: car analogies. There are plenty of "dream cars" out there, but lets think about a new X branded luxury car. You will find a huge number of those cars are the entry level model. Because people will stretch their budget just enough to buy into their dream. Your arguments are "if people can afford a luxury car, they don't care much about money". In fact the entry level luxury car marked is quite hot at the moment.
Now try to do the necessary mental gymnastics to combine both these ideas.
1400 / 1266 is actually not that impressive. Even for 1500 / 1266, % wise, it's just a GHZ Tahiti going to 1200.
Try 1600 and we will talk about hype.

PC Gaming Show will start in few hours. No one really knows what to expect from AMD this time, but since Radeon RX 480 was already showcased, we expect to hear more about Radeon RX 470, which is also based on Polaris 10.
It's not too far-fetched. AMD could certainly pull another 4870 out of the hat, which would be amazing for value. Let's wait for benchmarks to be sure. The latest nvidia cards are mid-range dies that are being sold for 700+ dollars.
If that's real then we could easily see factory OC cards matching the 1070. It's only about a 10% overclock.
