    My 480 8gb oc nitro runs lovely (and with decent RAM overclocks - 2200 - 10%). Hard to get stock though...

    480 handles NMS reasonably at 1080p, but in comparative reviews the 1060 is substantially ahead. It's an OpenGL title and typically Nvidia is much faster in OpenGL.

    I was having a look at some now,it seems Nvidia has had a launch day driver too,and AMD has not released one yet(fail).

    That's incorrect:

    (old release notes for proof, they've since released a newer driver)
