I'm actually impressed there are some at $250. There are others at super retarded prices including $330 however.
It's a nice thing for all of us, but I would still go for the RX480. Most of the games tested are DX11 and of course it's going to beat the RX480 on them. Vulkan and DX12 are the future, the RX480 will undoubtedly be the better card, moreover with AIBs coming soon; but either choice, the 1060 or RX480, is fine.

>>55651546
This

I saw some of the benchmarks and it's hilarious how they did stuff like choose battlefield 3 instead of 4 to make the 1060 look more powerful

>>55651498
http://geizhals.eu/?cat=gra16_512&xf=1440_RX+480~653_AMD#xf_top

RX480 here

The price difference alone should make RX480 a much better value for money.

Review "msrp" and real world prices are so much different, and you have to evaluate the cards again in terms of value.

RX480 4GB goes for 250 euro
RX480 8GB goes for 270 euro

GTX1060 goes for 300 euro

Not worth it the price imo

Is there a single reason to buy a 480 now ?

>thing is, nvidia actually releases cards with decent drivers, while AMDrones have to wait a year or two to get decent performance out of their space heater pajeet cards
Seeing as the cards from both AMD and Nvidia are within 5% of each other in every tier on release, I would pick AMD every time. AMD makes overkill hardware with shitty software. Software is the only thing that can improve a card, and they do improve the software. It's a smart move long-term in every aspect.

>>55651783
Too bad they're bleeding money and whenever AMD makes cuts, the software guys get let go first.

>>55651727
>GTX 1060 worse than RX 480 8gb only in meme games

>>55651833
Longterm future. Its only gonna get more and more support

>>55651833
You do know most of AAA games will support dx12, right?

When should we expect them to restock?

>>55651925
If you're checking casually, months from now on.

If you're like a hawk, either check every hour on sites or nowinstock.com or write a program that alerts you when stock is available by making a program visit, and check for whether or not certain image is available. "add to cart" vs "out of stock" word.

>>55651856
If you're buying a $250 you're not worrying about the long term.

dx12 and vulkun will not be a factor for a few years still.

The 1060 hands down dominates the 480 in dx11 and is almost on par with it on DX12, expect for certain titles (tomb raider, ashes of singularity). AMDrones on this site cling to the idea that DX12 and Vulkan are the future but why would one particularly care about that on a ''budget'' card? Let us be honest here, people fucking hate windows 10 and AMD doesn't have enough market share for people to care much about Vulkan either (successor to mantle). I doubt that either DX12 or Vulkan will be any relevant, but lets just assume that they will in 2018/19, realistically. Just think about it, those cards will be worth absolute shit by that time anyway. It's 250 bucks ffs, it's not like you're investing half a fortune in that thing.

Also would the 1060 be a good upgrade for my 680? 1080p still runs on High settings but the card is a blower, so the noise is killing me on load.

>>55652345
Stock rx480 is about 10% faster than oc'd gtx 1060 in dx12 what are you on about?

>>55652345
Maybe you can just put up a third party cooler on your 680 ?

>>55651993
Its a factor right now if you play games like DOOM or Total War: Warhammer.

If we assume 10 games of DX12 per year(there's about 20 games using DX12/Vulkan right now) and 2+ each additional year accumulating due to API usage increase, and assume you intend to keep the card for 3 years, thats about 55 games roughly using DX12/Vulkan in the next 3 years.

>>55652418
That's not really worth the effort imo. The card doesn't run particularly hot either (about 78-85C) under load. It's not much considering it's age and that I never changed the termal paste.

>>55652431
How big is that advantage over on DX12? If it's just mere 10% it's not worth those games. Really not trying to fanboy here, but I couldn't care less about getting 55 or 60 fps. Also what about gayworks? How many titles are gonna be released on that?

>>55652462
I was just saying. 680 is a good card and if you're only annoyed by the noise, it's cheaper to just install a 3rd party cooler.

>>55652511
Yeah it still runs stuff very solid, but there is another limiting factor for me and that is the 2gb of vram. I really would hold onto this card for longer if I had bought the 4gb version back in the day.

>1060 will be 980ti performance
>nvidiots

>>55652496
>goyworks
Not many. Everyone has seen through their lies. Nvidia has done their job already in showing AMD's perceived "driver overheads" with Gameworks.

1060 is about 7% better on DX11 games. Its about 15% worse on DX12/Vulkan games.

10% is the difference between $400 and $800. Aka 980 ti OC vs 1080 OC

The funny thing is every Nvidiot will now point at the Time Lie score and say it beats the 480 in DX12 when in gaming it's a slightly different story (Especially if you factor Vulkan into the equation). Kinda pisses me off that 3Dmark sold out to Nvidia like this really. Of course Nvidiots will swear blind there is no issue with that benchmark not fully understanding why it runs the way it does (and no I am not just talking about async compute since there are a lot more factors to consider with DX12 than that and most don't understand what is going on underneath the hood anyhow).

Thats the 8gb model, the 4gb model is cheaper and would indeed top that chart.

>>55652837
I think the joke is that prices for components are 20-30% higher on this side of the pond for no reason. I just got myself a 1070 and paid the equivalent of 700$ for it in euros. And that's the regular price for it from a store, not some ebay reseller.

>>55653017
It wouldn't because 4GB lowers performance

>>55652947
The 1060 does beat the 480 in DX12.

TFW it's £270

>>55653036

Not enough to make a difference. Its only a minor memory clock reduction and if you think you need over 4gb at 1080p you are insane.

Fucking hate this new meme "AMD cards age better". Fuck off, the only reason old cards are seeing improvements is because they are writing the driver to best fit GCN architecture (which cover cards from HD7700 to RX480).
Look at the HD6XXX series and tell me how good it has aged. When they will have a new architecture they will drop support for GCN cards in less than a year.

I know. But people just take it for granted when there is some shady (atrynsic shady) business going on with that benchmark. You cannot compare apples to pineapples using Time Lie. It uses a broad paintbrush instead of playing to the strengths of both architectures like it should. It punishes GCN by not fully loading the hardware.

Does the GPU-encoding hardware not change? no benchmarks for that?

Pretty much. AMD is dead now.

>>55650454

in dx11 games, it loses to all- EVERY DX12 game and Vulkan game save Talos.

(yes it even loses in DX12 Tomb raider in the latest patch, reviews that have DX12 tomb raider 480 vs 1060 with the 1060 winning are neglecting to mention they're running on an older version)

Talos Principle is the only game running one of the newer APIs that it legitimately loses to.

DX11 it actually loses in a couple scenarios too, like the division, which is surprising

>>55653136
Sounds an awful lot like a conspiracy theory to me. The simple explanation is that the Time Spy is fine and the 1060 is actually faster, which is obviously true in games as well.

>>55653146

Not around here they don't. Plus the 1070 is slightly more powerful if you believe benchmarks, and supposedly has better cooling due to a "new" generation of cooling solutions.

Don't kid yourself, AMD needs to get it together. Hopefully the aftermarket 480s will be good. And won't fry any motherboard.

No one said that. What was said is that it will be massively overpriced within a few weeks to a month.

1060 falls short of 980 in any non-VR benchmark and the gap widens if you factor in overclocking headroom of 980 and scale-up the resolution and AA.

>>55653765

>>55654229
480 is dead until aftermarket cards are released. The only ones who'll settle for sub-par reference cards are buttcoin miners.

>>55654229
>gets shit on in BF4 20+ fps difference

I want to believe but this card is a massive fucking disappointment

Seriously considering the 1060 now

What makes you think that?

>>55654534
dx12 + vulkan. its not a thought, its a fact. also performs better on higher resolutions and no 300$ gsync tax needed.

>>55654552
>DX12
But the 1060 is faster in every DX12 game except Hitman and that will most likely change with a driver update.

>Vulcan
One game currently uses Vulcan. We have no idea if any other game will use it and even if they do Nvidia might be just as good when they optimize for it.

I want to know how those minis perform.

Are they considerably worse in cooling than the full cards? Would it only matter if you are manually overclocking it?

>>55654589
Literally what dx12 game

Hitman is the only dx12 game they've benchmarked the 1060 on

>>55654769

>>55654229
>muh amd is better on hypothetical future games

Let's be real here: if you are buying a midrange card, you are going to be playing a whole lot of old games.

Let's not even mention how the 480 lost to the 1060 in fucking Ashes of the Singularity, THE one game AMD benchmarks shine in.

AMD's technology is so far behind Nvidia at this point, there is no way they can catch up.

>RX480 draws ~50w extra and only out performs the 1060 in Vulkan (because of async) and some DX12 stuff (which still isn't the standard yet)

How did they fuck it up so badly?

Are AMD even trying anymore?

Are they just letting nvidia take over the market so they can charge whatever they like?

>>55654839

Even ignoring the fact that vulkan/dx12 is peering into a crystal ball and having a wank. Shadowplay makes the 1060 a far better deal. There's just no AMD benefit that compares with letting me stream and play co-op with poorfag friends that don't even own/*can run the games we are playing.

>shitty dx12 port of console made possible by nvidia partnership

>console has async compute enabled

>>55654589
Source engine uses Vulcan, at least DOTA 2 does. Its feasible that any modern linux game will use Vulcan.

But that ultimately depends on the quality of the port and driver support for Linux.

I have a 960. What card should I upgrade to?

If i go with AMD, i feel like im joining the rebels in starwars.
If i go with NVIDIA, i feel like im joining the imperials.
If i keep my card, i feel like im a fucking ewok.

If i just sell my card and stop playing PC games, what does that make me?

>>55654997
Just buy the better card (1060).

>>55654997
Going with AMD makes you a poorfag who didn't do his research.

Every other option is whatever.

>>55654997
This is just personal but since the 1060 runs much cooler and presumably quieter, that'd be a huge bonus to me.

So right now i'm leaning towards the 1060 unless some really good reviews of third party 480s come out.

And the PS3 was not $899 (€678 in March 2007) but $793 (€599 in March 2007)

You could really really get upset at prices in 2011 when the dollar was at an all time low opposite the euro.

Nowadays with the European Central Bank pumping euros like crazy and with Brexit you got even less ground to bitch about prices.

Don't even get me started on taxes which are not shown in those American retail prices.

Reminder that Nvidia always leads in performance at launch but all their optimization is up front with no room to improve. You won't get the longevity with the 1060 like you will the 480. This will probably be especially true now because of GCN being superior with DX12/Vulkan.

>>55655609
dat 780 same performance as 280X

KEK

AMD moved 1 tier up.

In 2-3 years time, RX480 will be equivalent to GTX 1070 performance.

>>55655609
You are really bad at math, those are graphs of relative performance.

>>55655609
anyone not buying the rx 480 now as a hold over till both sides release HBM cards is pretty stupid

>>55655483
Those numbers are 100% bullshit.

Lmao, facts are presented and NoVideo drones still can't handle it. The 780ti bullshit is known by a lot of people. You are a retard. kys

>>55655643
Did I make a note of percentage? No. You clearly missed the point where the 780 Ti among other tiers as >>55655638 pointed out had Nvidia in the lead.

Cheapest aftermarket card goes for 380$ in Israel which is practically a bargain, far better priced than the 480 or 970.

>>55655672

Fuck off back to YouTube,

Cool, but it's still slower than the r9 290 I bought for $182 nearly 3 years ago.

are there disadvantages to the mini size one? that's the only one left in stock here

>>55658914
>mini

that's the actual size of it. the reference is longer because of the blower cooler overhanging the pcb. the smaller ones are actually better coolers too like the evga one.

>>55658914
mini should be good especially if it's evga. do a search for reviews though if you want to be sure.

So, I decided to go with a 1060. Will it last me a couple years?

>>55659169
if you do 1080POO games
480 is more longlasting due to games starting to drop dx11
realistically they're both great cards for 1080p but 1060 is the awkward spot in the middle of 1440 and 1080
I personally would get the cheapest after market 480, the nitro is apparently releasing the 22nd

>>55659169
My 970 is two years old and still going strong

>>55659169
Should do. Both the 480 and 1060 won't last more than like 2 years anyway as games get more demanding and devs start catering for the more powerful gpus (like mirrors edge hyper settings) and the new ps4k and xbox scorpio which look to be way more powerful than the current peasant tier console hardware which allows us all to still use shitty cards like the 380 or 960 even today. That won't last very long though because of the more powerful consoles like I said.

>>55659148
So the length of the PCB between the regular card is the exact same as the ones with a single fan?

I can't wait to see adoredtv's full on damage control over the 1060 being superior to the 480. He'll probably only test hitman and doom vulkan and be like "the 480 has a strong lead over the 1060 in these 2 games so I'll just assume it's better overall, now buy the 480 and donate some money to amd whilst you're at it"

>>55650298
RIP AMD. AMD would've had a chance if the 480 Aftermarkets came out by now but it's ogre. What can AMD do to legitimately combat this?

>>55660597
the 480, for dx12 and 8GB vram. You're still probably better off with the 1060, deliberately trying to future proof almost never works the way you want it to. By the time DX12 because a big enough issue to make the 480 worth it, the GTX 1260 or rx680 or whatever will come along to blow it out of the water.

>>55650298
they are 30% more expensive here than 480 though, and only 6% faster =>not worth it

>>55661362

>There's just no AMD benefit that compares with letting me stream

Now, what world is this we're living in. Who cares about random nobodies streaming their shitty games? Pretty egoistic to think somebody gives a shit about your streams. Why is this even a thing? You're just wasting bandwidth and computing power for nothing.

Planning to buy a Benq gaming monitor looking at also buying a new graphics card and upgrade my PSU to support both graphic card & monitor... any recommendations?

I was planning to buy 1080 however don't really feel like spending over 1,100 (Aus dollar)

It's £249.99 for the Nitro+ 480 or £299.99 for the MSI 1060. I looked at all the other 1060's and did not want any of them (well maybe if there had been a nice EVGA perhaps if it was a bit lower priced but all I saw was the mini).

For those few fps difference which will probably be optimized for later on in driver updates or discounted by the overclock on the Nitro+ I went with the Nitro+ instead.

That evega has my attention. Short card evega fag here.

>>55659400
They sell the 480 8GB for $200 instead of $240

The fact they were already selling 480 8GB's with the extra 4GB's disabled for $200 shows that they've actually got a very large window they can price in.

In a year the 480 8GB'll probably be $170 or less.

Right now they just need to keep units in stock. Once both are in stock, an AMD price drop should come along.

>>55660597
480 no contest

Better vulkan/dx12 support, and AMD cards historically improve over time with driver updates while nvidia cards languish.
