So, apparently the latest and greatest  from AMD is the Rx 460/470/480 series. Now, being on a limited budget (as in I have none) , but wanting to be able to play BF1 and other newer titles when they come out, I'm willing to spend a little. I've been looking at the 460 4GB cards , but not sure on which manufacturer to choose.

Leading the pack ... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JGQUIU0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
 
Then a 470... https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-NITRO-Graphics-11257-02-20G/dp/B01J1M4HDS/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1472686190&sr=1-4&keywords=rx+470&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A6066316011
 
Meanwhile, In Canada.... (first 2) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007708%20600007787&IsNodeId=1&Description=rx%20460&name=Desktop%20Graphics%20Cards&Order=PRICE&Pagesize=36&isdeptsrh=1

I too am considering the RX 480 8GB in CF so 2 cards & this is definitely in my budget of 700 for both. I also would like input on who makes it. I have 2 MSI HD 7950's & they work great & was looking at the XFX or Sapphire cards.

Only problem is they are out of stock everywhere

Evga GTX 1070 FTW is what I have and its a great card but if your using a 1080p monitor then its overkill

Have looked on Amazon for your country?

so whats your budget?    you can get some good used nvidia cards now on ebay fairly cheap.   but i would recommend a gtx 1060, and buy a evga card. i had my 970 and now 1070. they work superb. but it all depends on ur budget lol

If you want to have decent frames like at least 60FPS with 1080P I suggest you wait a bit and save up at least another $100 dollars but I'd recommend $200 more to your $150. You'll get a video card with $350 that'll last you a lot longer than buying a 460 (Which is terrible for the price IMHO) and say something like a 480, 970 or better yet 1060 4GB/1070 will last you years and If you really want to play the newest titles when they come out you have to get a card with more power anything less will be wasting money. I suggest watching these videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sph6cjJeRdI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp6ltBCMDCE <- Language Warning.

Of course all my opinions are based on you not wanting to buy used. If you want to buy used the best you'll get for your canadian bucks is probably a gtx 770 for $150 going by ebay prices not CL.
