GTX 1060 or RX 480?

please respond

>>56247126
What games do you currently play or intend to play? Do you plan on playing the latest console ports or prefer to play indie games? How long do you plan on using the card? What monitor are you using? Is it Freesync or Gsync enabled? If not do you plan to upgrade to either technology? Is power usage important to you? Factor these into your decision choices.

>>56247126
RX 480

>>56247126
they perform pretty much the same, but the 480 has way more VRAM.

Get the RX480

>>56247126
is there even a reason paying the extra 20 bucks on the OC version when all you did is paying Sapphire to put the slider a bit more to the right?
anyway the Nitro card is noisy and hot as hell.

If you want a card that is future proof and will last you for some years then get a 480.

If you are a dumbfuck fanboi with money instead of brains that wants to upgrade cards every month then get the 1060.

I see no point starting another thread.

I can get used R9 Fury for 50 bucks over 1060, should I go for it? Only 4gig, and a bit outdated tech.

>>56247126
The 1060 is The Way It's Meant To Be Played(tm) so I'd definitely go with that.

480 cause DX12

>>56247126
For the same price the 1060>480 its faster (5-10%) and less power hungry but in the long run the 480 might take the lead with dx12/vulkan.
I'm waiting for the 480 to drop to normal prices and get in stock but also considering the Fury X at $379.

6GB GTX 1060 all the way desu senpai.

>>56249252
Not OP but since we're talking about GPUs here anyway, any speculation on how much the next AMD will cost? Probably named RX 490 I think. I would like to try AMD for a change and maybe buy a good one.

>>56249332
Can't say but if I would take a guess the RX490 would be around 1070 performance/price while the successor to Fury will be close to 1080/ti performance/price. Since both companies are competing closely this would be my assumption as long as prices are more manageable its a win for us the consumers.

480 is AMD's flagship. All their driver work goes to it first and to everything else later. 1060's there only to compete with 480. It's not meant to be their bread and butter, and it definitely won't get the same amount of attention. It's still powerfull card, but I'm certain Nvidia saved some candy for later use. After all, they can afford to do that with market share that they have. Give them a year, and they'll bring out 200 bucks card, that will dust with 480.

In the mean time 480 appears to be the go to card. And judging by R9's track record, it's bound to have a nice longevity too. When R9 came out I honestly dismissed it at a first look, but lo and behold, it's doing pretty well in all the benchmarks now. It's price is down on titans, and it's performance actually caught and even surpassed some in vulcan and dx12. That proves that it was built with longevity in mind, and it's best points are showing only now, and if the trend continues for 480 it could be a superb card.

>>56249225
7 of those are games I want but could easily go either way if they get gamesworks or not.

Or on my processor.

>>56247126
MSI has better design but rx 480 should be a better chip in the long run. so you're fucked basically.

>>56247126
As a guy that just bought a msi 470, definitely the 1060. 480 might be the long term winner, if you plan to keep it for five years.

In the US at least, you'd be a retard to buy the 3gb (cut down) 1060 or the 480. 4gb 470 and 6gb 1060 dominate their price brackets.

>>56250143
How's your experience with it? I was going to get one for £200.

>>56250143
Cut down 1060 as in it should have been called the 1050. They disabled one of the ten streaming multiprocessors. Not just less memory.

>>56250162
Silent and cool temps with a 1390/1750 overclock at 1150mV with the default fan curve. I'd say perfectly stable, but FO4 has been crashing randomly. Everything else including multiple looped benches of heaven maxed out at 1080 has been fine, and I pirated fo4 to try, so not sure if it's just the game.

Loving GTA V with massively extended draw and HD resolution shadows (to fix the terrible cascading) and mostly very high settings in the non advanced menu. Never dips below 50 fps, but OC 6600k may help. Memory usage exceeds 3gb but not 4gb using these advance GTA graphic settings.

Cool looking backlit LED logo and accents if your into that thing. Not sure if you can turn them off. I was going to, since I have no window, but fuck it; I'm lazy, so haven't tried.

Caveats. Clocking the memory over 1750 results in less aggressive timings, resulting in equal or inferior performance until you hit ~2100 Mem clock. I could not. This may change in the future with driver or bios updates.

Also, wattman is the only way I've found to OC so far. Didnt try trixxy as I didn't like it in the past. Wattman its a laggy, crash prone piece of shit right now, at least for me. This doesn't seem anywhere near ubiquitous though. So YMMV.

DX12 and vulkan, 480, the rest, 1060

>>56250407
>but FO4 has been crashing randomly.
That seems normal.

Also, why not use MSI afterburner?
It's by far the best OC program.

>>56250407
To add, I could bump a lot of non advanced graphics settings up in GTA V, but I hate pop in and shitty shadow cascading way more than barely noticeable lower visual fidelity. I have extended draw one notch away from max.

Pop variety and density are set one notch from mac as well, one that could probably be lowered without much visual impact.

Also, set grass to normal or high at the most. It chews up resources at higher settings for a better but not worth it improvement.

>>56250506
First thing I tried. Compatible beta is not out yet. Guru3d or whatever got early access.

>>56250518
I share your sentiment, draw distance is more vital to me as well.
>>56250526
Hmm, see if I got one of these for £200 it seems like I'd have not been disappointed.

>>56250475
That Tomb Raider and Direct X 11 differentials are what keep tugging me back to a 1060. fact is AMD's direct x 12 superiority could be fucked by Nvidia sponsored games of which there are a lot.

I have pay day as my decision day and I'll just live with it.

>>56250475

>>56250567
It's legit.

So for a guy that's gone from GTX 560 to GTX 760, would I be making a mistake by upgrading to a 6gb 1060?

This range has always suited me but I'm not sure if I should bother looking at anything else, I just like playing games at 1080p with a comfortable performance/price trade off.

>>56250616
You seem to be on pretty close upgrade cycles.

I'm a cheap sod so I'd say yes, but for you you may be able to pull it off.

>>56248570
the 480 isn't lasting anyone "some years" pajeet

>>56250606
Okay, got a chart from somewhere actually recognizable? Nothing I've seen puts them anywhere near that far apart.

Go ahead and upload your entire shill folder with actual links actually. That's be much more helpful.

>>56250567
If you watch a few of the digital foundry videos you will see it lines up. AMD has shit tier DX11 and OpenGL driver support due to driver overhead, but really good DX12 and Vulkan support. The Doom 2016 Vulkan vs OpenGL test really highlighted the driver problem they have.

>>56250661
This place has always been shill heaven, even Nvidia or AMD subreddit won't put up with this shit. So excuse me for being skeptical.

All the reliable sites I've been to place them well within 10%.

>>56250606
Yeah, fuck it, gtx 1060 it is, I can't be arsed making a decision on future speculation.

If AMD released a list of games about to use Vulkan I'd jump on it.

>>56250661
>>56250655
No need to be that flippant, anywhere shows the same.

10% losses in DX 11 games and 5-10 % gains in DX 12.

You got got, dude. It's still a good card, but you got shilled hard. OCed 470 even approaches an OCed 1060. But two unsourced jpegs is all it takes I guess. I understand the fanboyism now.

Okay, then why did he (or more likely you) mention it? Want me to pick you apart some more?

>>56249332
All signs point to 490 being a dual gpu card unfortunately. Amd has confirmed 490 is not vega and they havent mentioned anything about a more powerful polaris, not to mention the slides comparing dual polaris to the 1080.
I would put my money on it attempting to fit somewhere between 1070 and 1080 prices.
Historically the dual gpu cards from amd have always been ~50-100 dollars more than buying two cards outright.
This is speculation, of course, but i advise not getting your hopes up for the 490.

I hate that I can't always be at my desktop.

480 would be the best by a fair margin if they were available at the promised price

given that the only 480 you can find is one with the shitty reference cooler marked up to almost the price of a 1060 I dont know why you would pick a 480 over a 1060 or 470 at this moment

>>56249537
I have to point out that the hawaii chips have been recycled 3 generations and this put amd into an unusal position. With no new products lined up outside the fury series and the 380x, they were forced to focus on driver optimizations to keep their only available products relevant.
It's awesome to see what proper attention can do for these cards, but i wouldnt bank on this being true for all cards to come. We know vega is coming soon, and its possible the polaris cards will ve left by the wayside.
We wont know until that time comes.

i would go rx 480 for the vulkan meme

Is it a smart idea to go from a 760 to a 470 as a temporary upgrade until those supposed HBM2 cards start waving their huge penises around? I'm kinda tempted to just get a 1060 since it has the best performance for non-dx12 games and I have no intentions of downgrading from win7 to the botnet.

I just got a 1060 this week, pretty pleased overall and it's a huge jump over my 4GB 670. In GTAV I get pretty much twice the frames at higher settings, only times it every drops below 60 are in the heavy foliage areas, and even then the lowest I've seen was 45FPS with everything maxed at 1200p.

Also Gainward yet again proving they're pretty much my favourite 3rd party card maker on the market. I dunno what the fuck kind of magic they use but I've tried EVGA, Asus, MSI and Gainward over the years, and their cards always run at least 10c lower than anyone else. Fucking thing struggles to break 60c while maxing out GTAV for fuck sake.

My huge Asus DirectCU II 670 used to border 80c on medium, and that was with fucking heatpipes crawling out of the thing like a fucking H.R Giger art piece.

6gb version or 3gb version? Get RX 480 if it's the 3gb version.

The 3gb version is shit. In fact, it's a entirely different card than the 6gb version and Nvidia only called it a 1060 for marketing purposes to trick suckers who believe it's the same shit with less ram.

>>56253907
It felt weird at first as I was used to controllers with Gears, but when you get the hang of it it's hard to go back. The sheer speed you can flick your reticule around like if someone ambushes you from the back or side is immense.

The Longshot and Torque Bow were ridiculous on the PC version though, borderline too strong due to how much easier/faster it is to aim and how slow paced the combat generally is (animations wise), picking off heads with the LS was ez as hell.

You can't trust 480 benchmarks.

Most of these sites benched the card throttled all to fuck. Then when new cards come out they don't rebench anything.

You gotta really look into it if you want to get any real answers.

>>56247126
480.
Got two in xfire, absolutely amazing in terms of compute. Actually passes the 1080 in Hashcat scores.

>>56253883
I'm waiting for someone to stretch that image a massive amount to add even more 8 pins to it. Just make the card look 12 feet long and require you to be hooked directly up to a nuclear plant.

Buy rx480
Coincidentally i own 300 shares in amd

RX 480, no meme at that range its better due to its ability to compete with the 1080 in dx12.

I was planing to buy the rx 480 because I have a monitor which supports freesync. Is it still a viable option to buy the gtx 1060?

>>56254464
NO

>>56254524

>>56253925

There's a 6gb 1060 (not mini) on PNY's site for 250 USD and a couple on amazon.

they are finally all in stock here (220€ for 3GB 1060, 222€ for 4GB 470, 250€ for 4GB 480)
and i want to get the 480 before they are sold out again, but if i wait 13 hours, i can save 8€ shipping cost.
if they are sold out until then i probably give up and get the 1060

I'm loving my XFX 480

it's neat that it comes with a backplate, too

Jesus, this thread is a good example of how upset AMD Fanboys get when you post multi results with nvidia winning

Even if you have multiple sources you're still a cherry picking shill.

AMD has the worst user base I swear

I got a EVGA GTX 1060 6GB non SC for my new build and I tested it out today. I'm honestly amazed by its performance. All my games run at constant 120-150 fps at high settings and the graphic card never goes beyond 67 C degrees. It's really silent as well.

>>56256285
see
>>56256232
This is a fairly honest set of benchmarks. It shows how the difference between a good AIB partner card like the MSI Gaming X for both GTX 1060 and RX 480 is marginal. Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX12) show how a Nvidia favoring game is marginal and a AMD favoring game (DX11) is marginal. But what will be interesting to see if when the DX12 patch comes out for DEMD.

Anyhow either GPU is fine depnding on what the price is in your locality. In other words. Don't believe the hype.

>>56256349
So how is like 6 graphs "fair"

But this guy >>56250882 linking 4 FULL REVIEWS is shilling?

>>56256374
6 graphs of the SAME AIB partner GPU. Comparing apples to apples. That is much more fair than comparing a shitty reference cooler to a AIB partner. The difference between the GTX 1060 and the RX 480 on the SAME AIB partner is marginal.

What is the best version of the 480?

>>56256425
The Nitro+ OC in terms of speed and the MSI Gaming X in terms of noise/heat.

>>56256450
Why are they so expensive, are they going to get cheaper? And why are all of them out of stock?

>>56256509
Good value for the price. Everyone wants a piece.

480, this isn't even a question

>>56247126
These are the questions you have to ask yourself:
Are you a fanboy of AMD or Nvidia? Then the answer is easy.

Do you care for DX11 titles? If yes, get Nvidia.

Do you care about power consumption? Nvidia.

Do you care about software running on OpenGL? Nvidia.

And no, most software devs won't jump on an unproved api because you gaymer kids think it's cool.

The only reason to get an AMD card the way I see it is if you're a kid and you can't upgrade your card in 2 years when Vulkan (COULD BE) is a legitimate factor in your purchasing decisions.

Fact of the matter is 1060 is within 480 performance even in DX12 and Vulkan so the future proofness of the 480 is quite honestly a meme.

Slight revision to reflect that Guru3D tested Rise of the Tomb Raider (DX12) on the MSI Gaming X RX 480 using the 16.8.1 drivers anyhow. So no need for a separate website graph. Plus it's the same system, so should give a more accurate result. I pasted the MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 over the reference GTX 1060 result to compare against the MSI Gaming X RX 480 in an apples for apples result. I also made the last graph for DEMD a bit bigger and clearer.

>>56256679
what about the 470?

>>56256795
I will have to cope and paste it into ALL the fucking charts because they only compare reference cards for every review.

>>56256589
Yeah, yeah, let's just dismiss dx12 like it don't exist. Vulcan MAY become a player, but dx12 will be one for certain as dx11 is thing of the past. 1060 was intentionally built with lacking dx12 support, so that it'll miraculously loose power when devs start to optimize their shit for dx12 properly.
And honestly talking about power with both cards well below the norm...

>>56250959
It seems as if there is barely any difference with these 10 series cards as far as clocks go, I bought an MSI 1060 6GT since the Gaming X was not available, was a lot cheaper but in the end I got the performance I was hoping for (2000MHz+), without the OC it can't go beyond 1900 odd something though.
I feel like in the end, if you want the 10 series cards, most of it will boil down to
>looks, personal preference
>power phases if you care that much
>temps
>noise
This card in particular doesn't make a lot of noise - or at least I am unable to hear it when playing games or just browsing.

>>56252955
nice meme!

I get 150+fps on my GTX 1070 using Nightmare settings and Vulkan :^)

>>56257012
but based in what have you seen, should be the 470 OC near in terms of perfomance of a reference 480? I just wanna play Dark Souls 3 in 1080p60 without reducing shits.

so what the fuck happened to the $199 for the 480???

>>56258886
still way more expensive than aftermarket 1060's. why spend ~£30 ($40) more on a card which has a lower warranty length and performs worse in 90% of benchmarks? it's just not logical man. they need to fix up their pricing.

>>56258995
this has nothing to do with the amount of ram. it's because the ram is clocked lower in the 4gb versions.

>>56259017
Still important to know that the 4GB version at stock is slower.

>>56253001
No offense dude, but there's no way. The benches show it at under 60 fps at ultra at 1080p, let alone maxed at 1200p.

I'm in a similar boat.
The 1060 will do better in goyworks but DX12 and Vulkan will probably make 480 the better card long term, especially since historically AMD cards get better with age while nvidia cards get worse.

>>56259051
Sorry, ignore me. Thought you said 120fps for some reason. Still seems slightly high for maxed out though.

It was never true.

>>56259054
Basically, amd if you plan to keep it more than two years I'd say. Nvidia if less.

>>56259033
it's marginal like 7.2gbps on the 4gb version and 8gbps on the 8gb version. you can do a small oc to the ram to get up to 480 8gb speeds. i'd say get the 8gb 480 over the 4gb one just because (as far as i've heard) amd cards have shit memory compression in polaris compared to pascal. that's probably why the 1060 manages fine with 6gb in situations where the 480 uses 8gb.

>>56259084
If you bought reference, that's youre own damn fault. And 75 is warm, but perfectly acceptable.

>>56259002

i'm not talking about overpriced aib models. the picture (>>56258401) shows the cheapest rx 480 in stock compared to the cheapest 1060 in stock. the 1060, on average, is cheaper than the 480 since there are like 10 different models in stock that are cheaper than the cheapest aftermarket 480. also nobody with a brain buys msi for nvidia when evga and zotac exist which are both better and cheaper. msi charges you extra for all the software bloat they include with the card. also zotac and evga both offer 5 year warranties compared to msi's 3 year.

OK here is a reedit of my MSI Gaming X comparison excluding the GTX 1080/1070 (I'm not interested in those anyhow). The scaling on the bars I adjusted on some scores so use the numbers as they are the same as in the reviews. This was a good AIB partner card to compare since Guru3D reviewed the RX 480, RX 470 and GTX 1060 by MSI on the same test setup. The Deus Ex: MD is the only one not tested with the MSI Gaming X as far as I know. But it will give you an idea.

I have some AMD cards and they definitely last longer than Nvidia's performance wise. My Nvidia cards die in about two years (EVGA usually) but whatever bad luck.

>>56250706

I'd get the 1060 6GB if you upgrade every year or two. The OpenGL/DX11 thing will still be relevant now and likely most of next year. Buy a new card next year or the following perhaps. Like others have said if you plan to use it or keep it beyond that year or two get a RX 480 otherwise get it while it's good with Nvidia.

>>56259561
Nvidia lacks a 460 and a 470 competitor. RX470 is the best bang for the buck bar none. The RX480 comes close but isn't as good for the money (same with 1060).
