GTX 1060 vs RX 480

9/10 pajeets think the 480 is best.

>>57898433
t. pajeet

>>57898421

1060 3gb is best for bang of buck.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/73945-gtx-1060-vs-rx-480-updated-review-23.html

2% difference in DX11 (favors 1060 GTX)

6% difference in DX12 (favors RX 480)

TL;DR get whatever's cheapest

>>57898421
Isn't the 4gb 480 cheaper than the 1060 where you live? I can't see the 480 needing more than 4gb of vram

>>57898433
oh shit I don't want to be a pajeet

I better buy an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 and play my games The Way They're Meant To Be Played!

They are within a 10% margin of difference.

Does it really matter which one is better and not cheaper?

>>57898488
This. Just buy whatever is cheapest, because you'll replace either card in a few years. The 1060 was $10 cheaper so I got it.

>>57898421
I really want to like the 480 but the price point is way too fucking high. The 8 GB version really needs to be closer to the neighborhood of $200-250, otherwise I'd rather go wtih the 6GB 1080 every time, edges out on chip performance and 6gb is still a reasonable amount of VRAM, and it's at the same pricepoint, if not cheaper.

What happened to the R9 390, the $300 card that fucking EMBARRASSED the 3.5GB meme70?

>>57898592
*6GB 1060, obviously

>>57898592
>What happened to the R9 390, the $300 card that fucking EMBARRASSED the 3.5GB meme70?
It didn't, because outside of RAM the 970 outperforms it

>>57898592
>What happened to the R9 390, the $300 card that fucking EMBARRASSED the 3.5GB meme70?
>card released later and more expensive outperforms older card

w o w

1060 is the cheapest and the only way to go.

DO IT FAGGOT.

>>57898421
Who gives a shit about $10 here or there? RX480 supports crossfire and freesync, nobody in their right mind would get a 1060 over the 480

Buy a NVIDIA GTX 1060.

When I went looking for a card it was a 480 or the NVIDIA GTX 1060, I went with the latter and couldn't be happier. Compared to the competitor the NVIDA GTX 1060 gives me the performance I need for games at my current resolution of 1080p. It was also the cheaper choice.

>>57898657
But, it doesn't? The 390 is faster in 80% of the games, and is now catching up to the 980.

>>57898421
>1060 is cheaper
I saw the FXF GTR 8GB RX 480 for 180 american shekels in the week of goy Friday. How is the 1060 cheaper than that? If so, then it's probably negligible. Even more so when you get freesync with AMD, so it's even cheaper on the longrun.

>>57899244
>FXF
Shit nigga, I'm not ok.

>>57899244
The NVIDIA GTX 1060 will draw less power then a 480. It will therefor pay for itself in electricity bill savings. Also consider the performance lead that the NVIDIA GTX 1060 has over the 480.

>>57899244

You should've bought it since, 480's cost around 270 shmeckles.

>>57898592
everywhere I looked the 480 was cheaper across the board

hell I've seen 8gb models go for less than 200 USD

where the fuck are you shopping?

>>57899330

Where the fuck are you shopping?

Why are these prices inversing so much?

>>57898421
depends on the purpose you want to use it for, faggot.

>>57898421
480 is the better card right now. The writing is on the wall. Anybody telling you otherwise is a fanboy or a shill.

Easy decision.

The only scenario where AMD beats Nvidia is fake benchmarks by Pajeets looking to make a new sale

>>57899369
t. shill

>>57899296
It's not even that far ahead anymore in DX11 and still losing on both Vulkan and DX 12. On power savings you won't see that much of a difference unless you keep the card for several years. You could also get really lucky and get the really good Polaris chips that go below 100W. Really, both of the cards are great buys, but I can't see why I would pick the 1060 over the 480 unless I was running Linux.

shit's actually pretty toe to toe, which is an argument in favor of the 480 given that it's a better GPU in every measurable way.

>>57899300
I'm still cucked with a 970. If they ever give me the $30, then I got it for $200 flat on October last year. Not that bad considering it's still good for 1080p. I'd rather wait for Vega.

Do you care about future proofing your build? Rx480 considering it handles future tech better. Want your DX11 shit to run top tier performance? 1060

Nvidia will make their shit obsolete and tank performance through drivers to sell you the 1100 series.

RX480 will be supported just as well as they're handling the 200 series.

Who gives a shit?

Let's sum up using /g/ logic and reality aight? I'll start with /g/ logic.

480RX:
+ Cheaper when looking at MSRP
+ It's AMD
+ It's not Nvidia.
+ It has async and few other changes which make it waaay faster in DX12.
+ It has an anime girl advertising the card.
+ Have I mentioned it's AMD?
+ It's gonna beat Nvidia counterparts 2 years down the lane cuz of my driver support

1060 GTX:
- It's Nvidia so they will definitely gimp it
- It's not AMD
- It has no cute anime girl
- It's more expensive when looking at MSRP
- It sucks in DX12 yielding no performance gains.
- Have I mentioned it's Nvidia?
- Housefire.

>>57899369

>writing on the wall
>480 loses almost all benchmarks

HAHA
when will pajeets ever learn.

I picked up a 480 because AMD's drivers are loads better than Nvidia's. I can't remember the last time Nvidia had a decent driver. I've seen 470's on sale for 150ish and I'm thinking about buying one of those to upgrade another rig I have in the house here. The 1060 looks good but I have an old 7950 that still trucks along and has gotten better with drivers. It's an old ass card and is still relevant compared to two generations of Nvidia models from then. If you still aren't sure check the used market. Lots of folks selling off 960's for 80-100 bucks and 970's on the cheap too. AMD cards seem to hold more of premium used so YMMV.

>>57899724

Thats an assumption.

These are all assumptions.

the GTX gives results now.

You guys are betting on 1060 will become shittier in 2 years before the 480.

GUESS WHAT.

you'll find out the will both depreciate almost the same in the years, and you will realize you could be enjoying yourself now with a 1060.

>>57899833

>>57899217

>The 390 is faster in 80% of the games,

maybe if you compare the 390 (which is a factory OCed 290) to a reference 970. if you compare them like-for-like the 970 takes a shit on the 390, all while using half the power to do so.

>>57899833
my friends hd5850 runs like fine wine when he plays new AMD optimized games like dirt rally, just eat shit and shut up

Now let's sum both cards using reality and actual gameplay uploaded on youtube.

480RX:
- Still attached to bad history of AMD which during 200-300 series had a failure rate two timers larger than Nvidia.
- It cannot OC which can be a bad or a good thing. If you're illiterate moron you probably shouldn't OC AMD cards anyway cuz they can break so easily. You get what you get and you won't have any extra juice out of it while being luckly if you gain something like 2%.
- Runs hot, pretty much every respectable benchmark out there showed that Nitro reaches 70+ degrees under load. I'm not gonna mention blower style cards cuz it wouldn't be even close call. (but 75 degrees is nothing! - It's still more than Nvidia)
- Has decent driver support at least when compared to AMD from 2-5 years ago. Still miles behind Nvidia. You get an update once every 2-3 months and you pray to god it works.
- Decent 480RX costs as much as any decent 1060 gtx.
- Switching to DX12 yielded big improvements in a single title. 2-3 fps improvements in few titles (BF1, Rise of Tomb Raider) and no improvement in the remaining ones.
- Still behind 1060 in DX11 in every respectable benchmark with the exception of some Youtube Pajeets that pray to Raja Curry.
- Vulkan is DOA receiving support in 6 games so far (Even Mantle had more)

1060 GTX:
- Has a stronger brand recognition
- Better non-reference manufacturers (MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, Palit, Gainward. On the side of AMD you only have Sapphire)
- Costs the same while providing better results in 95% of DX11 titles thus in 95% of available games.
- Yields no improvement in DX12, sometimes even runs worse than in DX11 (BF1) which makes it a risky investment for the future if you're a poorfag and want to have a card that lasts you 3-4 years.
- Runs cooler (<70 degrees across the board while being dead quiet, just for clarification I compare both cards with automatic fan control)
-Better driver support with beta drivers being released every few weeks

>>57898421

Buy the cheaper 1060. In time dx12/actually becomes a thing you buy an Nvidia again because they will then destroy AMD.

460 2gb for light photoshop? Will it be "futureproof"

>>57899913
The 5850 isn't even a GCN card so it's every bit as outdated as an Nvidia card from the same generation, probably more so

It's only GCN based AMD GPUs that are based

future proofing is the biggest meme.

I remember back in 2002 and amd released the 64 athlon, people bought because of the 64bit software that will come out for it.

14 years later.

I still use 32bit programs.

Never buy anything with the argument that it will be better "later".

>>57900243
>I still use 32bit programs.

>>57900284
His 1 percentile work helps him make a point against AMD.

>>57900284

what i'm trying to convey, is by the time 64bit went mainstream, that processor was outclassed so much it didn't make sense to keep it.

>>57899608
>smart, mature, knowledgeable people, you wouldnt understand

>>57899770

Even VLIW aged quite well. I used to use an 6850 up until Jan. 2016 and it worked pretty well at medium/low for most games. My last nVidia card, a 6800 aged pretty badly as far as I recall and I remember ending up with less performance in games I kept play for a long time over its lifetime (mostly Urban Terror and Nexuiz at that time).

>>57900621
thats why i got mine, that and power constraints

i got my 1060 for a good £50 less than the equivelant 480

>>57898421
They're both poorfag card bought by people who don't throw $300+ every year or two at the mid-high brackets on up.

As such, it boils down to whether you're willing to have your card gradually underperform its erstwhile competitor (1060) or whether you're OK having moderately higher power consumption for the entire life of the card (480).

Of course, if Vega is a major architectural departure from older GCN and is good enough to sell a lot of units, 480 owners could get screwed by lack of driver optimization efforts in the future too.

>>57901133
AMD has always gone with brute force silicon designs at the cost of power consumption, where Nvidia maintains the appearance of efficiency by tweaking the shit out of their drivers, for the newest generation at least.

Nvidia's is probably a smarter business model.

so don't bother.

>>57901509
No, it's just that nVidia directly or indirectly gimps older cards via driver performance.

>>57901509
>AMD has always gone with brute force silicon designs at the cost of power consumption, where Nvidia maintains the appearance of efficiency
Not really true, look at the 6800 Ultra, 8800GTX, GTX 280, 480 and 580. Nvidia used to always push (and technically still does with Titan) much larger pieces of silicon than AMD does.

>>57902173
No, it's that Nvidia finds new and exciting ways of selling weaker silicon as better or equivalent products, which requires a massive continuous software effort.

When the install base for an old card dries up (or just a new gen comes out), they simply quit trying to optimize new games for the old cards.
I don't think anyone has shown serious performance regressions for older games/cards with updated drivers.

Nobody ever mentions the fucking massive driver CPU overheads on the 480.
Don't have a high end i7? Then you sure as fuck won't be seeing anything like those benchmark scores you love to quote.

Wht is the fucking point of an 8gb 480?

Do games even use 8 at 4k?

>>57902492
4GB will be a bottleneck for maximum quality textures in the near future.

Considering texture resolution improves fidelity but doesn't cost anything else than extra VRAM it's nice to have more

>>57902492
They put shit gimped vram on the 4GB model to artificially reduce performance.
Enjoy :^)

>>57902492
it's like $30 more for twice the VRAM, why not spend the small extra sum to guarantee it has a longer life?

>>57899833
the 1060 is shittier now

it was overtaken two months in

deal w/ it

>>57902563
>guarantee it has a longer life
It doesn't guarantee shit. If a game needs more than 4GB VRAM the RX480 will likely choke anyway.

>>57902761
>If a game needs more than 4GB VRAM the RX480 will likely choke anyway

VRAM doesn't work that way. Textures especially present no real load on the GPU itself (except when applying AF, but then, modern hardware han handle 16x AF with almost no performance issues).

On the other hand, the moment you can't allocate enough VRAM to present a texture, you get extremely bad hitching and 99th percentile frametimes go through the roof.

having more VRAM is good.

>>57902761
It might choke but if a game requires more than 4GB of VRAM the 4GB model is guaranteed to not work. It's such a small increase in price that it seems pretty stupid to not buy it, especially as it'll retain a higher resale value if you decide to sell and upgrade in a year.

Now that ReLive is out and borderless Freesync is working there is now no excuse to go team green other than brand loyalty (AKA as being a good goy).

Yeah, like shadow of mordor on ultra? Oh wait, there's no difference between 4gb and 8gb performance.

>>57902935
having more vram is part of the solution
the other is to have a good memory bandwidth...

also there is some sneaky shit like what nvidia did with mirrors edge 2 and 970...

I still don't know what to buy. FUCK

>>57903312
if you are buying for future proof aka for more than 1.5 years 480 is the way no questions asked..
if you like to spend money like a spastic monkey and you dont care about gimping and 3.5 memes then you can buy nvidia

This is the kind of person who recommends AMD products.

>>57903109
>a game released more than 2 years ago is a good indication of games for the future

>>57903360
well considering that the history proves me right my facts are actually correct..

290x vs 780ti started on 2013 at 290 being 8% slower.. now 2.5 years later 290x is still kicking and is almost 30% faster than 780ti....
the same goes with every single amd card since 2011 and after.. even the 7xxx are fucking maxwell cards this year which they are 2.5 generations ahead..
and im not even gonna mention the massive amount of failing drivers that nvidia have for 2 years now compared to amd..

>>57903363
RX 480 won't be able to deliver a playable fps in future games on ultra settings when they actually need more than 4GB VRAM.

>>57903409
you dont buy a mid range gpu to provide an ultra setting for 2-4 years you know...

still which card you think will last longer given the history of both ? the longest period an nvidia card was out and had an active development was 2 years.. (the series 7xx) amd on january of 2016 will hace gcn 1.0 up and running after 6 fucking years and still delivering improvements(tho sadly due to the lack that they have static ace engines they wont last much longer than 2017 i assume)

>>57903531
best bang for buck is the 1060

>>57899612

also saves on detergent since i'm not burning through it so much.

i take one, short, five minute shower a day after i shit so my underwear is always clean anyways.

>>57903531
the 4gb 480 doesn't have gimped stream processors, while the 1060 3gb has gimped hardware ontop of the gimped ram, so the 4gb isprobably still the best price:performance

also there's no difference between 4gb and 8gb models performance wise unless you're using xfire,

>>57903815
there is actually amd hardlocked the memory clocks and also it has a lower memory bandwidth so that idiots dont sell it as a 8gb (since the 4gb ones are basicly 8gb models)

Only a few of the most demanding modern games use more than 4GB of video RAM, and then only with the settings turned all the way up, or at very high resolution (a.k.a greater than 4K). GTA V is the most popular example. And at those settings and resolutions, an RX 480 isn’t powerful enough to produce smooth frame rates anyway. Outside of these uncommon scenarios, a 4GB RX 480 will perform exactly like an 8GB RX 480.

However, for the few times it might be needed, and for future games that may need more VRAM, $30 is a fair price to pay for extra peace of mind and potential future-proofing. This is a long way of saying that both the 4GB and 8GB cards are good options. (If you are building a PC for more than gaming, such as video editing, you may see more advantages to having additional video RAM.)

>>57903857
>amd hardlocked the memory clocks
bullshit. my 4gb 480 runs undervolted and at 2025 memory without any issues.
although i may have a rebranded 8gb and just not know it, still 1750 timings at 2025mhz bandwidth is good. (esp since it's undervolted too)

maybe when i buy an aftermarket cooler i'll check and see if it has 8gb chips instead of just 4

>>57898421
That video is old, with the most recent drivers (Not Relive) the 480 is already ahead on average compared to the 1060

Most people will be purchasing either a free-sync or G-sync monitor with their newer GPUs, more so free-sync because it's actually affordable

it's also important for the future when you're looking into monitor upgrades

>>57899918
Do you have any source for any of that?

>>57904529
Only retarded consumerists want an upgraded form of the shitty vsync
Going without any kind of sync is the way to go, only a frivolous prole would think anything else.
Also don't forget that Shadowplay is atleast a $60 value and comes free with an Nvidia card.

>>57904529

They're pretty damn similar, so it really comes down to which company you want to support and which one is within you're budget.

I chose the RX 460 over the 1060 due to my personal view of Nvidia and its support towards Linux and other things, as well as the price point I compared between the two at the time. It really depends on what you plan to do with the card as well.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal, though.

the Sync techs reduce screen tearing and limit your GPU's FPS to save on power/heat

>>57904724
H110 is too limiting, and 90% of people doin't need what H170/Z170 offer, mostly extra Sata and PCI-e lanes

AMD suck mandingo cocks, always had trouble with their shit. RMA'd 3 GPU's and then gave up on them and tried the APU, it was unstable and crashes under load randomly.

FUCK AMD IN THE ASS

It is getting cold so I might get a RX 400 series card, it will keep the house warm pretty good.

>>57904809
Nvidia gpus have been lighting on fire, I'm sure that will make things warmer than a paltry 10 watts difference

>>57904746
H110 is fine for a single GPU setup.

You mean sata I assume, and there are 4. Build quality is just as dependant on the manufacturer as any other choose.
If you don't need m.2, raid, dozens of pcie lanes and over clocking then there's nothing wrong with H110.

>>57905006

For games on Windows you probably want the Nvidia 1060.

You want the 480 for crypto mining ZEC or ETH or other digital currency.

>>57899135
> muh crossfire
Nobody cares, not even a little. Realistically perhaps 2% will ever buy two cards and run crossfire.

Even if you mine coins and run two or three GPUs in a rig you're not going to use that crap (in this case you just push each card to their limit individually).

From what I understand from the latest tech press crossfire is dead anyway. DirectX12 apparently lets you "crossfire" any available GPU anyway so a RX480 and a 1060 can work just fine together if the game is optimized for multi-GPU.

>>57899408
Nope. Very real world "benchmarking" by measuring hash/sec and sol/sec when mining coins clearly show that the RX 480 and AMD cards in general are much faster at doing that specific OpenCL task.

Benchmarks of games in various articles tell another story, though. The 1060 seems to beat the RX480 in every older game (like GTA V) and it's either equal or better on most new ones too.

no amazing games that also push performance, and 4K monitors still coming down in price fast, so rather wait until cards do 4K better, programs scale to 4K properly, and good games exist that really use 4K.

Just looked up the Siberia 200 - IDK, a little more expensive than the HyperX and has a slightly lower rating from what I see on Amazon. I intended to only spend $300, but ended up blowing $500 already - so if I had known about that, I still would've gone with the HyperX because I'm broke as fuck and my wallet is kill.
>>57907095
Where? Only the 3GB (nothx) 1060s are around $200, at least from what I'm seeing. The 6GB 1060s are showing $250-$300. Got my RX-480 GTR for $250 for Black Friday whew.
>>57907183
y-you too - I almost bought the 1060 but as soon as I saw the XFX GTR on sale I was already set on it. Never had any good experiences with Nvidia's shit. Every card I had was either running hot, running loud, had shit drivers with a bunch of graphical artifacts shitting up my games, or just crapped out for whatever reason. The 1GB XFX HD 6750 card I have installed right now is five years old and runs most of the games I play smoothly, so I'd say it's done its job. Only swapping it out so I can run GTA V maxed out and try The Evil Within.

Find benchmarks for games you want to play. Buy the card that gives you more performance in those games. If it's about even, get the less expensive card.

>>57914494
Why would they? I mean fine, 3% is insignificant in 1080p since both cards are a slight overkill. But Nvidia also has better drivers, more features like Shadowplay and Ansel which help content creators and lower temps (temp usage is a meme though, I don't think people care about $2 more on that bill). You seem to ignore the fact that 480RX had to be pushed to its maximum limit in order to compete with 1060 in dx11. No room for oc, high temps etc. That's why most shills don't compare both cards in OC. Pic very fucking related. 480RX suddenly falls 5-10% behind 1060 GTX across the board in dx11.

I was going to get a 470 for my new rig but I read so much shit about AMD I'm reconsidering for a 1050ti. What bothers me is that they run hot as fuck. I'm on a rig with a 460GTX and it's running at 65°C top with a fan profile. I have too much bad memories from the 2900XT and 4870 (this shit was idling in 80's °C.
