This thread will decide it once and for all. RX 480 or GTX 1060?

1060

whichever you can find cheaper

Look m8, disregard all the shills, it doesn't matter with those two cards. Both wont be relevant after two years and both have their ad- and disadvantages. They're also almost identical performance wise.

Take a look at the games you play and see which GPU performs better. I guess when you're an extreme poorfag and can't afford to upgrade every second year you would be better off with a 480.

I think im going with the 1060 because of the 480's power draw.

>>56283940
I actually bought the 1060 dual fan because its at the same price of the sapphire 470 in my country

No point is throwing savings in an overpriced 1070 when you gonna be getting afforadble HBM2 cards next year or 2

>>56284850
RX 460 maybe? But the performance is trash so you might want to be sure that you'll only be playing old shit.

>>56284887
by that logic you will forever buy the low end cards because something better/cheaper will come later on.

Ok, i see shitload of fuckrs buying used gtx9#0.
Because shitload of fucktars are selllin em because dx12.....
As far as i can remember dx10 had,what..3-4gaems?
Slightly better situation with dx11 but mayority of titles are still dx9.0c(at least gaems actually worth playing, not some retarded e-peen contest to show to your neighbour.

Can someone even count at least 5 dx12 games worth playing(bare minimum that would give sense into buing dx12 gpu??)
Back then, i remember when folks gave up to 800$ for first dx10 gpu gtx8800 768mb, for what?
For Halo Vista &...???

Fuck AMD for using Cooler master AIOs though.

I can get 3GB version for quite a bit cheaper than the 6GB, easily >20% cheaper, should I go for it?

I mostly play LoL and some WoW on my notebook but I'd want to check out all the newer games such as Witcher 3 or Assassin's Creed the Black Flag, once I finally get a propet desktop.

Playing in 1080p.

Is 3GB enough?

1060. AMD is operating on the dodgy aliexpress chink business model. once you bought it, suck shit, we got ur money. they've locked down BIOS editing with signed hashes, power regulation is shit tier and they suck so much power the chip literally cannot function and their chips are essentially not overclockable. I've seen people get 50mhz overclocks on these pieces of shit. really all you need is to look at the reference card heatsinks to understand how much they give a fuck about quality products.

>>56286936
Also, 480 isn't na option because im size and PSU limited, I'm getting mini version of 1060

>>56286937
Can confirm. My fury x which is supposedly a top-tier card had a pump failure and sapphire is refusing to do anything about it.

>>56286948
do you have a 450w psu or something?

>>56286957
you lucky bastard. my fury X is three days old and the store is trying to fuck me by getting me to do a manufacturer RMA. seeing as it passed QC the first time, it's going to pass again when i send it back.

look there's a trick i have for electronics to help you out buddy. when something is broken but still partly works, they wont accept that their shit is shitty. so blow a capacitor. I used to work in an electronics store and it was the only way to get shit repaired. look at the voltage on a capacitor, the big ones are usually 16V for the 12V rail. apply 19v to the capacitor and it will blow. there;s now a physical indication of failure with no obvious damage to the board.

>>56286957
did you also fall for the meme that the r9 fury would be an overclockers wet dream? i did. the water cooling is complete bollocks. the card doesnt go above 40C at full load and you cant overclock it yet we spent more for less.

>>56286958
320W, HP tower with proprietary shit

>>56287017
you will want to replace the power supply anyway. that power supply is matched to the system. it cant power anything you add to it without exploding.

source: worked in a computer store and someone bought a computer, took it to another store after six months to get an "upgrade", brought it back saying the power supply had failed.

>>56286978
I'm mixed on the fury X. clocks up to 1200 Mhz. It's also quiet as fuck when it works.

But having a pump fail within 3 months of purchase is retarded.

I got mine from a shady retailer for a very low price so technically sapphire is not responsible, but the retailer is no longer in business. Therefore i am shafted.


I'll probably ziptie a shitty AIO and use it like that. Also i can post that to various AMD communities to assure them of the kind of quality they can expect from a $700 product.

>>56287050
I can't replace it dude, its proprietary, all of it is.

Based on simple calculations, 120W should be just enough.

And it's HP elite tower PSU so its not some chink shit which is much worse than advertised

bad new friend. the VRMs are cooled by a copper pipe that coolant runs through. you should be able to get an RMA from saphire. you just gotta mail it off and they will send you a whole new one.

im curious, they said they wont cover a faulty pump?

I'm very underwhelmed by what 600aud bought me desu.

>>56287070
its a prebuilt computer so that PSU is probably actually in the same position as some shit tier chinese one actually

>>56287070
>Based on simple calculations, 120W should be just enough.

You do realize you're intending on stressing a cheap-ass 10 dollar shitty OEM PSU to it's limit ? And you're gambling your hardware to do so ? (yes, all of it )

Reconsider.

>>56287080
Products not purchased from an official sapphire distributor or reseller arent covered by sapphire and the said reseller no longer exists. I'm shafted.

Its really simple. Its either GTX 1070 or 470/480 if youre AMD fanboy. 1060 is a shit card.

>>56287070
>its not some chink shit which is much worse than advertised
no it really is. HP computers were our bread and butter at the store where I worked. they make it all cheap. its not just the power requirement. it's also the peak usage and being able to handle the ripple.

>>56287102
No, it is not, tower alone without GPU cost 1300$ when it was new, all components are bussiness grade.

>>56287118
And also, I don't have a choice, there isn't a single other GPU this efficient, all lower TDP ones are much worse

If you seriously believe there's an OEM that makes non-meme 360W Power supplies you're in for a surprise.

HP cares only about their bottom line.

Business machines are sold to (unsurprisingly) Businesses, which get priority services when a machine craps out.

It's all manufactured so that that PSU headroom is what stops it from frying the system.

When's Vega/Volta?

>>56287141
Not yet. There's a few things i can try. I'll switch the stickers with another fury X ( which has real warranty ) and send it like that.

>>56287155
they're programmed with their serial number. you cant just switch the stickers.

>>56287197
Unless I do >>56286978

>>56287142
Doesn't matter, I found review where 1060 is underclocked, draws only 60ish W while reducing performance by 15% percent, I'm sure I can find a sweet spot in the 80-100W range where performance difference will be minimal.

you need to build your own to game. everything else is meme tier. and that's not just a meme. the motherboard probably isnt even built to supply the ATX standard 75w to the pcie slot. i wouldnt go over a reference gtx 960 and unplug your cd drive, switch to a SSD and unplug your HDD to budget more power to the graphics card.

you would need to fry the chip. maybe use a hot air gun to delaminate it? or a blow dryer or do the oven reflow trick to really fuck it properly.

they use test points when testing. they dont just fire it up and play a video game for a few hours.

Inside I also have i5 2400 with 95W tdp, and 1 HDD 1 SSD.

If I didn't underclock 1060, it would still be just enough imho.

Also, I looked at specifications and it said that GPU can draw a max 75W from pcie

>>56284700

That's what sapphire does. Im sending it back to a regular Eastern europeian retailer that has registered it by serial number.

Most legit businesses here are happy to provide refunds on faulty products and go through the RMA process themselves.

>>56287509
in fact most good hardware vendors here will take the card back no questions asked under the consumers act guarantee, it's the fucking law

How is this even a question?

The vast majority of games out there, which aren't regularly benchmarked, and especially when it comes to indie games, early access, betas, MMOs etc will always run like dogshit on AMD

If you buy AMD for gaming you have brain problems.
Everything is optimized for Nvidia and Nvidia only - especially since Nvidia hands out free hardware to game devs.
The only games with AMD optimization are the most mainstream AAA titles which come out once every 3 months and which get tested in benchmarks.

i guess the high end 1060 to low end 1070 price difference isn't too bad but....

do these things have any overclock potential?

I just bought a 1060 and where as I am very happy with it as I get the same overclocks that dual fan models get with a single fan EVGA card, my i3 6100 is bottlenecking the fuck out of it and now I feel obligated to either purchase a z170 board and oc or maybe just a i5 6500.

The budget I had for my GPU was 200, so I went with the MSI 4GB 470. I only play at 1080p 60hz so I don't need anything more. I think I can live without Ultra Res Textuers
