Thoughts on the 1060? I plan on upgrading to one soon and think

Currently running one myself and I have yet to be disappointed

>>56278023
the 480 is better

if i want to stick with win7 should i just get the 1060?

>>56280927
it doesnt matter the 480 and 1060 are more or less the same with dx11 (win7) its just the 480 is better with dx12

>being this autistic

I finally got my 1060 for $250 after Newegg restocked them a few days ago. I am pleasantly surprised by how efficient it is. Every time I take a look at it, the fan stop LED is on. The heatsink is efficient at dispersing and it keeps lower temps than I am accustomed to without even running the fan. I would OC it, but it crushes all the games I own without OC. I think the only time the fan kicked on was when I ran No Man's Sky on max settings.

This is with the Gigabyte Windforce model fyi.

>>56278023
Well, I was going to write a detailed and unbiased review on the card but unfortunately my browser crashed and I lost all of my text. Here is the general gist:

>1060 is really good.
>Perf in Dx11 and OpenGL is better than 480
>Becomes dated quicker than AMD
>Better in some dx12 games (might be because of how early the tech is)
>worse in all vulkan games that aren't ports
>Nvidia is anti-competative
>AMD respects MUH FREEDOMS, Nvidia doesn't as much

Despite all my negatives, it's still a very good card and you should at least consider buying it.

lol no

>>56281183
It was certainly disappointing; they gutted the shit out of that game. Nevertheless, I had fun with it while it lasted. The nonexistent endgame is a huge letdown, but they might patch it over time.

As for the 1060, I can't think of anything to complain about; it does everything I need it to do and I don't run garbage like Windows 10, so I don't care if the 480 has better async or whatever the fuck.

>>56281224
>>>Better in some dx12 games (might be because of how early the tech is)
Only DX12 game where the 1060 is faster that I can think of is RotR and even there the developers are saying that you shouldn't use the DX12 mode for benchmarking just yet. As for Time Spy it's an absolute minimum feature level implementation made so that it'll run on older cards and Intel integrated graphics and is thus more or less useless as a benchmark. Futuremark literally refused to create any branches for hardware with support for more DX12 features.

>>56281252
I emulate a lot and enjoy PCXS2, would a rx 470 do me in with the open gl?

>>56281330
I don't think there really should be all that many issues unless you want to run at really high settings. If PCXS2 anything like Dolphin you're more likely to run into CPU bottlenecks than GPU ones.

it will be fine, plus a lot of stuff is moving over to vulkan now anyways

>>56281304
I'm not disagreeing with you, the games that don't take advantage of DX12 very well are the games that favor NVIDIA. However, in my eye this is likely because of how young the technology is, for the most part.

>>56281369
Windows 7 doesn't have DX12. So there's no advantage in using AMD cards. DX9 and DX11 don't have async compute. It will give you better Vulcan performance but nothing uses it yet. 1060 is better value right now. If you are a huge n64 emulation buff, go with AMD, since the new LLE emulator uses Vulcan to achieve playable speed.

I could see emulators using Vulkan before most developers.


I've posted this in a few threads wondering what some would think of that price. I can't be arsed paying £40 more for as a 480.

I know 8gb is a waste but 6gb of it may not be.

>>56281474
How long are you planning on having this card?

>>56281392
water cooling doesnt matter any decent air cooler can do the same now stop shilling

>>56281484
4 years ish. I don't really have the clout to refresh too often. Not sure if I should spring more for an rx 480 if that's the case though.

I have an i7 920 running stock clocks
I'm thinking about getting a 1060 and doing 4ghz overclock.

will there be much of a bottleneck?

I also heard you can drop a xeon in, that also might be a option.

I'm from a 3rd world country and I'm tempted to buy a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X, is it a good card? It'll cost me equivalent to 350 USD or should I wait for an EVGA GTX 1060 SC to be available?


An ASUS RX480 here cost around 350 USD as well.

Nvidia is out of the question then. Also i'd spring for the 470 in your case, if you increase the card's voltage you can easily get it to within 90-95% of the 480. I'd rather not link it directly here, but for more information check out AdoredTV's 470 review.

Unless you are playing at a pleb resolution, both of them will need to be upgraded in a years time anyway.

Is nVidia planning on ever producing enough 1060s that you can actually, you know, buy one? The non-shit tier ones are constantly sold out and when they aren't, they're like $349 USD.

2.2 on the core with a max temp of 69c after changing the paste..
Gets a little "loud" but compared to my windforce3 290x/780 its quiet as fuck.

The GTX 1060 vs RX 480 debate is complicated.

At first it seemed that the 1060 was the better card overall, but recent games like Doom with Vulkan made things unclear.

IMO they are both on par, and we will see this year and the next both cards performing about the same with the occational X gives you 30% more fps than Y and viseversa.

Pick your poison, or just buy a 1070.

>>56281726

I have a 980 but I'm getting tired of frame rate dips in any game released past about September 2015. Should I just give in and buy a 1080 now, or suffer a little longer until the 1080ti is out?

Its funny how AMDfags need tons of paragraph long arguments, designated shilling benchmarks like AdoredTV and Ashes of Singularity, and mental gymnastics like "well DX12 is the future so AMD must be good for the future!" just to convince people to buy their shitty products.
