I wouldn't call 30-40% CPU load for everything running "big cpu overhead".

I wanted to point out 2 ways of looking at these benchmarks.
#1 - Which card provides maximum performance per $$$$
#2 - What is the minimum FPS. Is it equal to or above common refresh rates, eg: 60, 74, 120, etc...
I think the RX 480 is comparable to the 1060 in most areas and is a similar price, I think the kicker is that the open driver isn't even done maturing and the open drivers bring many advantages in stability over the closed drivers. Not to mention buying AMD encourages more open source behavior in the future & discourages closed source drivers to big brands.
I think that the RX 480 in most cases provides at minimum adequate performance at FHD in most games - this is usually about 60 FPS minimum in my book - 120 FPS prefered (I have a 120hz monitor)
Nvidia clearly still is and may be for a while superior in performance, but then we're also comparing apples and oranges, a RX 480 will retail $200-300 and is being compared against a $600 GTX 1080, technically in terms of dollars you would have CrossFire RX 480 if you were gonna compare against that price poin.
Very interesting benchmarks today, great work @mesa-devs, keep the momentum - vega should be really exciting too!
