nice power consumption! Lower than 480

good performance as well, better than 480
>>
>>55648981
And price is higher. But overall a good launch.
>>
>>55648995
$250 (as founders) is hardly higher for that much gains
>>
Will need to read a lot of reviews and make an average guess. Toms lists the 1060 at around 20% more powerful than the 480, meanwhile on hexus the gap shrinks to less than 10%
>>
>tfw guru3D benches DOOM in OpenGL, not Vulcan

So overall the performance is very similar to the RX 480, some 5% faster because of the many DX11 games tested. It costs 30% more, and in return consumes 30% less power than the 480. Doesn't really OC very well either (~10%), probably non-existent on retail cards.

Still waiting for AIB 480s.

It sucks that Nvidia just has to take such a revolutionary leap in GPU performance and jew the fuck out of it with its FE pricing bullshit.

I understand on some level that it is the only way to have AMD still survive and compete with its 16nm semi-failure, but it's maddening.

they point was that you shouldn't pass up free performance even on a reference card, seems like the AIB cards are OCing even better than goyim edition already too

The 480 is selling like mad. OCUK alone has 5000 units on backorder. And that's just one shop in the UK.
That's why we don't see AIB 480s yet. AMD can't even keep up with the orders on reference cards.

Why would the prices double, except at scalpers?

I would cancel or return it if you can
>>
>>55649211
this is what the future will look like.

all the people buying nvidia cards based on last year's DX11 games are stupid. Low level APIs are the future. It'll either be DX12 or Vulkan, and AMD gains in both. The 1060 doesn't hold enough of an advantage now to make up for that.
>>
>>55649238
Nah, I'm planning on a Nitro as well. Sapphire has done very well with the last two series, it'll be a top card.
Lighting might top it, but at a price premium.
>>
>>55649283
Roughly equal, if the difference is $50. RX 480 is the better buy if the price difference is higher, and GTX 1060 is the better buy if the price difference is lower.
>>
>>55649289
Yeah man, all of those people buying a $200 budget card from AMD that performs as well as a last gen budget card are really fowarding-thinking and future-proofing their rigs.
>>
>>55649289
i actually expected many of those "reputable" sites to actually do a fair bench between them but no..

very few used vulcan
even less used dx12 games

>>
>>55649283
Considering the general trend towards DX12/Vulcan, the 480.
Unless you're mostly playing older games, then maybe the 1060.
>>
>>55649328
Not even close, the 1060 destroys the 480 in DX12 and DX11
>>
Where are the DX12 and Vulkan benchmarks that were all over for the 480

Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are. The 1060 is better than the 480 in every way, but if you don't want the hassle of a return, then don't worry about it.

Perhaps DX12/Vulkan will rule all future games. Perhaps not. Perhaps it will take 3-5 years for DX12 to be the norm, same as it did for DX11. We do not know the future. For now though, we have benches of current games, and the GTX 1060 is winning.

1060 is not lowend. Moreover, it's more expensive and performs almost on par with the 480. Not only that, but it simply doesn't do async, so the 480 is miles ahead on dx12/vulkan titles.
>>
>>55649488
Almost. Aftermarket is always significantly better than reference, but 1060 can't into async.

The most important part of the decision is whether that pricetag is for the 6GB 1060 or the 3GB version. Not only is 3GB too little nowadays, but the 3GB version is NOT the same as the 1060 except with less ram (as the 480's 4GB version is), but rather a completely cut down version of the 1060 in all aspects.
>>
>>55649604
1060 is both faster than a 480 and a better deal. It's also way more power efficient. As techpowerup said so eloquently:

"Should there be actual GTX 1060 cards in the market at $249, then this will destroy any hopes of AMD, because then GTX 1060 will beat it in Performance per Dollar too, with no clear wins left for AMD to convince potential buyers."

As we've already seen, it is available for $249.

What results?

1060 is utterly shit.

You either get rx480 or 1070.

Ok, after looking through around a dozen reviews now, average seems to be 10% above the 480. Not enough for the 50€ extra I'm seeing imho. I saw one 1060 for 310€ already, but from experience I'm not touching palit with a 10 feet pole.
Plan is decided, if I find a massive sale over a 970 or above, I don't mind going one generation older, otherwise 480 it is.

There are a lot of reasons to get a 1060 other than the fact that it's faster than a 480.

Mainly uses less power, puts off less heat, runs cooler, runs quieter, also lower failure rates.

>>
>>55648783
>>55648809
So this turd barely beats an RX 480 in gimpworks games and gets beaten by an RX 480 in neutral or AMD sponsored games.

Nvidia should be glad they only have four cards per shop to sell or the 1060 would be gathering dust on shelves everywhere.

This new GPU generation has been an utter disappointment so far. Either the price of the new GPUs is Jewish as fuck or the performance is lacking.

Still waiting for a 490 then.
>>
>>55649698
I agree with 1060 using less power, but I don't pay for electricity.

I need heat because I live in an igloo.

For reference design, I think both cards would sound similar as they both use the blower design.

Finally, I have boxes of failed Geforce cards (mostly 8800s) while I've only had 1 AMD/ATI card failed on me in the last 14 years.
>>
>>55649597
CPU: Not Skylake. I am a "normal" user: Emails, movies/series/aneme, games, programming. There is absolutely no reason for me to upgrade my CPU right now.

GPU: I am on a 1080p screen. In some modern games (XCOM2, Fallout 4), the 560 Ti does not cut it. But for stuff like Dota 2 and WoW, it is still fine. I live in a third world country, so I cannot justify a new USD$300 card when my current card is (mostly) fine. Such a purchase would be a waste.

...I do look with lust upon the new $200-$300 cards that are out now... I cannot deny that. If such a price is within your budget, and the games you play demand the extra performance, go for it.

These days, I can believe Radeon has a higher failure rate. But even with the worst case scenario (failure in the field), the rate is <4% for anything in the last 6 years.

If you are worrty about 4% failure rate, just buy the card with a credit card that has extended warranty.

As an aside, I have a couple of 5850 for mining Litecoin. I continue to use them after Litecoin went out of fashion. Only 1 card had problem (fan) and I fixed that by lubricating the fan bearing. These cards ran 100% for a couple of years.

Haha moron, maybe you should've checked the 480 temps

Pic related, way hotter
>>
>>55649869
0.5 degrees more 480 what a disaster
how can this card ever survive
>>
GTX 1060 is a good card. RX 480 is also a good card. Now I comfy wait a year for their prices to drop
>>
>>55649896
Not that long. 2-3 months, based on previous launches.
>>
>>55649809
>But even with the worst case scenario (failure in the field)
You have to deal with both failure figures stated, not just the field. The testing doesn't refer to AMD's testing or anything, but the testing of the prebuilt company that graph comes from.

So failure during testing = card comes out dead from the box or has issues out of the box, and failure in field = fails later

Dealing with RMAs with some companies is a pain in the ass, and not many people prefer to go through that shit.

Bro it's 84C right on the GPU

That's a full 7 degrees hotter than the 1060, and the 1060 also hilariously runs way faster
>>
>>55649926
>So failure during testing = card comes out dead from the box or has issues out of the box

Yes exactly, AMD cards fail way more often right after you buy them, it's a big problem, probably due to shoddy engineering.
>>
>>55649929
using tpu as a refrence of what? i posted a flir image while you posted a number that no one knows

of course, probably the only way Nvidia would let them test the game
>>
>>55649926

Easy, just don't buy Asus.
>>
>>55649963
Uhh that's the temperature directly from the GPU sensor
>>
>>55649744
Falcon, your the only trip that I accept :)
>>
>>55649980
Check hardware.fr's RMA rates articles.

It's not just asus.
>>
>>55649986
so you are saying while the rest of the reviewers actually did measure the card like you are suppose to
tpu just got it from the sensor right?
so everyone else is wrong
and tpu is right?
whats next? gonna say bf3 crysis wotanks and arkham knight is relevant on 2016?
>>
>>55649986

From where? Surely the source is not your ass, is it?
>>
>>55649322
Both cards will be fine for 1080p.

The 480 will be better and is cheaper though.
>>
>>55649344
>games arent real is they favor amd

can't make this shit up
>>
>>55650006

>Check it
>Gigabyte got the highest failure rate for Nvidia cards

Time to cancel my purchased.
>>
>>55650009
Uhh it's the techpowerup review, check it yourself
>>
>>55649745
>good temps
>shitter cooler

well that's a first. nvidia did good.
>>
Do we really need 100 threads about any new GPU now?
>>
>>55650058
Yup it's nice because the 1060 easily stays below the thermal throttle temp, even with the reference cooler
>>
>>55649410
T...THATS JUST A TECH DEMO
>>
>>55650070
Welcome to /g/. New cards come out once every 2 months, so the hysteria will not last long.
>>
>>55649723
Except none of that is true of you look at the benchmarks

>1060 L I T E R A L L Y doesn't support SLI
How the fuck is this not ringing alarm bells for people? They quite literally don't want you to be able the SLI the damned card because they have no intention of supporting it in the future. Why in the fuck else would they omit such a feature which was present on the fucking 960?

Whoever buys this card is either a mouthbreather or has no tech knowledge.
>>
>>55650157
They don't want people buying two of them to outperform the $700 GTX 1080
>>
>>55650157
Greedy move by nVidia to stop people from getting GTX1080 performance for $500.
>>
>>55650157
Isn't SLI/CF obsolete given DX12/Vulkan?
>>
>>55650175
>>55650179
>>55650198
Wait, so if I pair two different Nvidia cards (lets say gtx 970 + gtx 1070) will they effectively work together in DX12/Vulkan????
>>
>>55650228
you won't be able to pair those cards together because Nvidia certainly won't allow it

In theory though with DX12 an Vulcan you could pair different GPUs like that together.
>>
>>55650130
>I dont have latest drivers so my stats on the 480 are outdated
>oh, and im gonna compare an aftermarket version to the reference 480 lollolol

>also im gonna use nothing but gimpworks titles too, because they're the way it meant to be played(tm)

holy shit, how does this guy have a job?
>>
>>55650228
You can pair even AMD+Nvidia+integrated but no dev is going to see the extra work for it.
>>
>>55650228
The game developer MUST implement it but both Vulkan and DX12 API make it very easy for them to do so but we all know how bad game devs are at using the tools given to them to optimize games (they are underpaid code monkeys on steroids) so it will be a game lottery as to performance same as SLI/CS was.
>>
>>55650249
>>55650228
Actually I forgot that Firaxis is doing exactly that with Civ VI lel.
>>
>>55650228
>>55650198
Games have to implement multicard support themselves.

>nvidia certainly won't allow it
No you can pair them, explicit multi card modes are hardware independent and they don't require extra bridges, you can mix even AMD + Nvidia. But you won't get good results with cards that have more or less equivalent in performance.
>>
>>55650235
only if mGPU is enabled by the developer.

In other words, don't count on it unless it becomes industry standard.

but if they do, you can actually even mix amd and nvidia cards if you want.

nvidia doesnt really have a choice if the market moves away from driver based multi gpu setups and toward API based ones.

To be honest some of those Rise of The Tomb Raider DX12 benchmarks are weird.
>>
>>55650301

I think he meant something in the lines of what nvidia did to people running a dedicated physx card to an amd main gpu for instance
>>
Should I buy Asus Strix (which one?) or MSI and why?

I'm thinking about MSI because it's a bit cheaper and they give free VR equipment
>>
>>55650422
And I forgot:
>inb4 buy amd. It's almost in the same price
>>
>>55650422
Funnily both have been caught lying on their OC versions benchmarks in the past so do carefully compare them on third party benchmarks sites but if the say a 15% increase over reference assume it is 5% then do the maths price-wise and see if you are happy with price/performance ratios.

I still hoping non-reference RX480 will save the day.
>>
>>55650499
What's taking them so long anyway? Nvidia partners got their aftermarket models out pretty fast.
>>
>>55650518

Sapphire's out friday apparently, probably the card to get I'd reckon
>>
>>55650518
Latest rumor is reference demand was so high that AMD said "fuck it use the chips allocated to non-reference to make more reference board" to the AIBs. The fucking madmen did it and now everybody is waiting with the PCBs ready for the new GPU chips batches. No Joke and given the 1060 it was a good call by Raja.
>>
>>55650274

It's far from easy dude.

just bought the asus strix 1060, upgrading from my 6850. Feels good.

Not to mention asus makes the worst AMD cards, by a huge margin. You'd have to be an idiot to buy one.

>>55650550
Shit dont matter if Rx480 aftermarket is at the same price at Gtx 1060

if MSRP was followed, maybe I would've picked up a rx480 but no it clearly wasnt.
>>
>>55650684

Last rumor I read was around 330€, pretty decent if it sticks considering the only 1060's I'm finding below 370€ are palit's, which I already had a nightmarish cs experience with.
>>
>>55649702
You are not excused.
>>
>>55650518
They oversold the refs so bad they can't deliver any chips to the partners.
They still have over 80,000 open orders.
>>
>>55650631
SLI/CF Are probably easier to do but less useful.
>>
>>55650755
Sad to hear about Palit, but Im still will buy that brand due to its fan noise being the lowest or so i heard?

I wont mind buying cards around every 3 years if its just the video card anyway.
