I'm trying to decide between the gtx 1060 6gb and rx 480 8gb as upgrades to my 560ti. Which one is better for 1440p at high-ish settings for newer games like Witcher 3? I don't really play too many games anymore, and my older ones will run (mostly) run above 60fps maxed out with 2x AA at 1440p on my 560ti. I need to upgrade for these newer games to run well now though, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, and Nier Automata and Mount and Blade Bannerlord when it comes out.

tl:dr:
RX 480 vs gtx 1060 for high-ish settings on 1440p?
I'm in the US btw, so the 1060 is $259 and the rx 480 is $269.

Do yourself a favor and buy something better if you want to play above 1080p. I recommend the 1070. Don't know the AMD equivalent. I'm sure it's nice as well.

Well, I don't really need to play on ultra.

I'm only upgrading because I specifically can't play Witcher 3 or Dark Souls 3 at even 1080p on lowest settings at 1280x720 with my 560ti. Witcher 3 seems to run at 40fps+ on the 1060 and 480 at ultra settings at 1440p so if I turn down AA and a couple other settings it will still look pretty good and I'll finally get to play it.

The cheapest 1070 is $399, which is kind of a large jump and I don't really play games enough to think it's worth it.

Thanks for the advice though.

Take my advice, just get a console.

If you're seriously considering these two cuck cards, you don't have enough money to participate in PC gaming. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

my 970 plays witcher 3 on near everything ultra at ~55-60 fps all the time
both cards should do fine 2bh, 1060 has some nice extra features like shadowplay obv but that's if you need them
>>
>>56429793
At 1440p? Keep dreaming. You're way waaay into cuckland with either of these cards.
>>
>>56429815
1440p is a meme; you obviously need a 1080 for that

>>56429743
Lol want to be rich fag KYS loser
Buy what ever you want op dont listen to this NEET.

>>56429317
1440p is where the 1070 lives my brother
>>
>>56429815
1440p sucks 1080@144hz is the way to go.
>>
If the 1060 is cheaper in your area, get that.
>>
>>56429317
Rx480
>>
>>56429317

both are good for 1440p

but for the witcher and dark souls the GTX1060 preforms better.
