Running cost about the same as Ti, the performance depends how you look at it, RX is nothing special at stock but with the right driver, settings and miner it excels in one algorithm - CryptoNight giving ~2000H/s compared to 750-900 for Ti. It's very profitable to mine CryptoNight at the moment, it had a nice bump last Friday/Saturday on NiceHash but has been dropping since, still 30% more than it was before the bump and even at previous levels it would still be £3+ per day so better than Ti most of the time. But it's just 1 algorithm so in that regard it's kind of similar to ASIC, if it becomes unprofitable other algorithms will not earn much but unlike ASIC it will still bring in some money and will still have value as gaming or VR card. Then again if you look at RX480 cards they were doing very well on Ether mining but now that it is not that great it's still profitable and they are also earning more with CryptoNight.
