RX 480 (full Polaris 10)
232 mm2
5.7b transistors
Density: 24.57 million transistors /mm2
GTX 1080 (full GP104)
315mm2
7.2b transistors
Density: 22.86 million transistors /mm2
The Technical and Performance Metrics
GP104 is a 36% larger die.
GP104 has 21% more transistors.
Polaris 10 is 7.5% more dense than GP104.
GTX 1070 and 1080 are 70-80% more efficient depending on 1080p or 1440p.
GTX 1080 is 75-85% faster depending on 1080p or 1440p.
GTX 1070 is 50% faster at every resolution.
Perf/$
RX 480 8gb is 66% more cost effective (perf/$) than GTX 1080 (current prices).
Crossfire RX 480 8gb is 17% more cost effective than GTX 1080.
RX 480 8gb is 25% more cost effective than GTX 1070.
GTX 1070 is 9-14% more cost effective than crossfire RX 480 8gb.
RX 480 4gb is 50% more cost effective than GTX 1070 and twice as cost effective as a GTX 1080.
I based these results on techpowerup's RX 480 review graphs between the 1440p and 1080p resolutions, and also Ryan Smith's summary on the last page of the RX 480 preview. It will be interesting to make these comparisons again when GTX 1060 comes out. I will update this thread when it happens if people are interested in continuing a discussion.
