Which GPU under R3k

Personally, I'd wait for the RX570. You never know, could come in at a decent price. I try stay optimistic.

Anyhoo, that being said, I'm very happy with the RX470 4GB - Definitely worth that little extra over the 1050 Ti

The RX500 series has literally just launched and there seems to be a small updated GPU of sorts.

I fear you may be correct. Early reviews seem to indicate a very slight improvement in the 570 so I guess it's a gamble of waiting to find out pricing vs getting a card now.
 
The newly released RX 570 looks to be almost as fast as the RX 480, <5FPS in every game, depending on the local pricing that's what I would get or see if the remaining old RX 4xx stock places still have will go on sale.

I dunno how much you intend playing this game but something to keep in mind is that the 1060 performance is much higher for this game than on the 480, ~25%.

Grand Theft Auto V was released on September 2013 for the Sony PlayStation 3 and the MicroSoft XBox 360 then was later released for the Sony PlayStation 4 and the MicroSoft XBox One after about a year. Though it is obvious that the PC platform is not a priority of the game developer, the PC version which was released on April 2015 have image quality enhancements not found on gaming consoles. When every image quality setting is set to Very High and the anti-aliasing used is MSAA 4x, the game proves to be demanding even for current GPU’s. In this game, the GTX 1060 is 25% faster than RX 480 and the difference in performance is observable even without a frame rate counter. The gaming experience can be improved especially for the RX 480 by disabling MSAA and instead use FXAA. Though, you need to know you’ll be sacrificing image quality a bit because FXAA introduces slight image blurring.

3m28s and that's the faster RX 580,

So looking for a new Graphics card.

Currently have the Radeon 6870, its fine for most of what I play but really keen on playing the Witcher and GTA 5.

So What is good value for under R3k ?

I don't mind going a little over but don't play that many games at the moment, so don't want to splurge too much.

You still looking for a GPU? I bought an MSI nVidia GTX 1050Ti Haming X 4GB in January. Don't use it as it. Bought two RX480 cards and running in Crossfire. PM me if interested.
