Which one is better for gaming: The ASUS GTX1060 Strix ROG 6GB OC or AMD RX480 Strix ROG 8GB OC? I only have the budget for 1060's or 480's.I would mostly use it for singleplayer games.

shit my nig,you know it's a nvidia why you stressin me for
1080 and titan are good choices
why does it have to be asus? id say its worth getting sapphire but asus doesnt have a very good reputation with amds cards
not only that buy they cost more
Both are great

Instead of posting memes I'll ask you what's actually important when deciding this: what CPU do you have?

No really, Fury is the answer, or the next gen AMD cards.

+1 for Fury, 480 will be too slow before you'll be needing those last GB of VRAM anyway
Supposedly the XFX GTR 480 consumes less power, stays cooler, gives more OC stability than most other 480 due to its custom PCB

2nd this. They actually connect the vrm's and chokes to the heatsink. They thought of that before EVGA's drama with dying cards.
Go for either 1070 or RX 480
no memes

480 is already starting to edge out 1060 in DX11 and is flat out better in DX12. It's a nobrainer.
If you do pick 480, don't get the ASUS one. ASUS fucking sucks for AMD cards. Get one from MSI, Sapphire or XFX, they're all great.
need some more opinions

what you need to do is buy glorious nvidia and stop believing these amd heathens. nvidia offers the best quality drivers to ever grace the lands. the 1060 is roughly 25% faster than the 480 in dx12. dx11 its about 40%.
falling for amd is falling for pic related
