Made a spreadsheet with various local shops and prices in euros. Trying to find the sweet spot

maybe remove the heat sink/fan and apply new thermal compound ?

>>57972606

480 is better than a 1060 for DX12 and they are about the same cash.

1070 blows both out of the water but will top out your budget.

$400 is 1070 range, senpai. http://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=369&sort=a8&page=1

You probably need to replace the ancient thermal pads\paste.

The RX 480 is the better dx12/Vulkan GPU by far.

>>57972912
Already replaced the thermal paste 3 times.

Now one of the screws has worn out and wont unscrew itself so taking off the cooler is now impossible. I realize I fucked up by getting a used gpu from ebay - that's why I am willing to get something with lower specs such as a 1060 but brand new and with warranty.

>>57972909
Well then I'd recommend a 8GB 480 if you can find them cheaper or close to the same price. If you can't, a 6GB 1060 is your best bet.

>>57973009
I can find the GTX 1060 6GB and the RX 480 8 GB at about the same price. RX has higher VRAM but lower clockspeed at 1100 Mhz core while GTX 1060 has 1500 MHz core speed. Same warranty.

>>57973146
So it boils down to drivers and overclocking capability?

>>57973146
clock speed is a joke. Doesn't mean too much when the architecture is so different.

I'd save a bit more money and get the 1070.
You'll get hell of a lot more mileage out of that one.

>>57973146
Comparing clock speeds across completely different architectures is dumb AF.

>>57973172
>>57973418
All right, then. Which architecture is more efficient, /g/?

No not really. It is like 30% faster in DX11 and 10 to 15% faster in DX12/Vulkan which isn't going to let you keep the card significantly longer and cost almost twice as much.

>>57973431
Not really relevant considering these cards are all roughly in the same power envelope.

>>57973519

It's not twice as expensive, more like ~40% more expensive, and that price scales up pretty nicely with the performance.
Not sure where you got the numbers, but here's the userbenchmark between the two.

I think it's worth saving a bit more and getting the better card in this case.

>Not sure where you got the numbers

Actual games not synthetics. Things scale better in synthetics than they do in the real world. In a Nvidia best case scenario (dx11 gameworks) the 1070 is only 25% faster than the RX 480.

At this point there is no better bang for the buck.
An R9 Fury for $260 is pretty amazing in terms of price/performance.
