It's only slightly slower than the 1060 and I got it a good deal cheaper than the GTX 1060 Gaming X. Also the housefire thing is a meme. Room temp is 28c btw.

Thats why you buy Nvidia

>>56614016
You would have to run at 100% too if you overclocked your GTX 1060.

>>56614030
>this is what AMDFriends believe
I'm running my 1080 FTW at 2050 - 2114 Mhz, +20% Power Limit at 1.09V with fanspeed at 55%.
Never goes above 72C.

>>56614030
You must be joking or super AMD fanboy

>>56613657
>they take the 290x out of the charts to stop embarrassing everyone

>>56614060
We all know AMD runs hotter and uses more power. You also have to factor in the overclock amount. Also Nvidia is voltage locked.

The MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X is 37dB under load. The MSI RX 480 Gaming X is 38dB under load. but that increases to 42dB at 100%. That is still quieter than most cards and fucking nothing if you are in a game blasting shit and non-existent if wearing headphones. You make too much of things. The difference between a 480 and 1060 Gaming X is marginal.

>>56613975
>fan speed 100%.
My fucking sides.

>>56614257
You don't know shit so fuck off.

>>56614279
I dont know shit?

My 1080 doesnt do temp/fan ratio like that under stress

>>56614325
>Comparing a 1080 to a 480
Just fuck off

>>56614357
If anything that comparison should be favorable to the 480.
It's a testament to AMD's shittines that it isn't.

The fan profile is manually set by me btw. If left alone it could get up to 80c without any issues. AMD run hotter and use more power we know this. But I will save myself $200 on Gsync tax and I got the card $50 cheaper than the 1060 Gaming X version.

>>56614427
Actually 84 degrees is generally the point its fine.
It can go slightly above but they make the threshold lower just to be safe.

How would 1060 perform if it drew same amount of power as 480?

>>56614422
It actually shows the 1060 and 480 are pretty much similar in performance while (depending on your locality and availability) the RX 480 costs less for only slightly less performance whilst saving on Gsync tax.

>>56614464
>How would 1060 perform if it drew same amount of power as 480?
It's called the 1070.

>>56614476
>It actually shows the 1060 and 480 are pretty much similar in performance
Shows where?
>Gsync tax.
Nice meme. Freesync is locking you in to a certain GPU vendor too, only it's cheaper and shittier.

>>56614464
It would burn out and die before that.

>>56614464
Exactly. I could put the profile back on auto and allow it to get to around 80c if I wanted. But I really don't mind the noise. It's nothing compared to my friends 290X Tri-X. That thing is a leaf blower.

AMD do something u fucking cucks and release something that is high end. Want me a 1080 but not for that monopolized price

>>56614568
The whole post chain was in reaction to him posting a GPU-Z screen.
Nobody was talking about any Guru3D charts.
And even then it still stands - the 1060 is generally on par or faster, consuming less juice, costing the same and being cooler.

>>56614604
OP here. This is undisputed. I was just trying to say it's not that big a deal as you seem to make out. I got the RX 480 version of the Gaming X for $50 cheaper than the 1060 variant. I don't dispute what you have just said. I am just saying I paid less for a not too far off performance ratio and will save some more cash when I (soon) get a Freesync monitor.

If money is no issue just get the faster and more expensive product.

My Nvidia is in the post lads. Get hype

>>56613759
>a good deal cheaper than the GTX 1060 Gaming X.
In the US yeah, but in AUS and the EU the 480 is the same price as 1060

OP here again. I find it funny how the GTX 1060 is missing from that chart. The GTX 1060 is objectively better in nearly every way apart from some DX12/Vulkan scenarious. I am still glad I got a good deal on the 480 though.

>1060 is not there
Even AMD themselves know 1060 is better and didnt include it. Kek

Serious question, no trolling; in my shithole 480 is 50euros cheaper than 1060. Is 1060 worth those 50€? Looking for something midrange, I upgrade every 5-6 years, want to play gta5 and witcher decently.

>>56614962
Look up comparisons for those two games then.

>>56614962
Nah, it's not worth that much more

>>56613975
Dude what the fuck? 2500 RPM fans? What is that turd?

>>56614962
Only if your electric bills are very high and you already have or plan to have a Gsync display (get ready to shell out £100-200 bucks more for the privilege though).

>>56614990
At an overclock of 1400mhz that 14nm chip is pushing a lot of voltage and heat. I could leave it on auto and allow it to get to a toastie 80c or more but I choose not to. The noise level is only 42dB and in my Fractal R4 case I barely hear it. Typically most reviewers overclocked it to 1370mhz and left the fan profile on auto which is 38dB.

>>56615002
dude, a kWh costs on the order of 0.2€ and your GPU uses on the order of 200 Watts at max load, around the same as your fridge. That means that if you ran your GPU mining bitcoins at full load 24/7 for a week straight it would cost you less than 7 euros. And let's face it, you're not doing that. The electricity cost of a GPU is fucking nothing.

>>56615082
Indeed. For the average gamer doing 4 hours of gaming a day it's fractional. Nvidiots like to blow smoke and steam about power/heat/noise though. If you are gaming at 1080p the difference between the two is so fucking small it's not even worth thinking about. Just buy whichever costs the least (but consider the extra cost of the monitor if going team green on adaptive sync).

Ideally I would dlike to see the GTX 1080, GTX 1070, GTX 1060, GTX 1060 3GB, RX 480, RX 470 and RX 460 Gaming X versions all retested using their latest drivers. I may email him and ask him to do that if he still has the cards to hand.
