Should I switch to the RX480.

>1060 8GB

I meant 6 GB there

>>58486501
How often do you upgrade your GPU or plan to upgrade?

If not within a year and a half then the 480. If you will replace it with the next generation then go 1060.

GTX 1060 owner here. Go with the RX 480

>>58486551
I've had this 750Ti for about 2 years and plan to keep whatever my next card is for a few years.

Rx480 owner here. Go with the GTX1060

>>58486564
What makes you say that?

Get a 470 4gb

>>58486501
Go with the RX 470

>>58486501
the rx480 is terrible value, especially if you live anywhere outside of the US. get the 470 or the 1060 6gb.

>>58486686
Not him, but the new drivers for the RX make it equal to the 1060, also the +2GB VRAM are helpful. The RX will age better than the 1060 will.

Could you like not today, Pajeet ?

>>58487288
wat?

>>58487285
it's not the drivers, it's the games. the drivers did practically fuck all. ~2% performance boost on average.

I'd go for the 480. It's a bit more future proof.

>>58487285
I've been hearing this from some other people too which is making me lean towards AMD

>>58486501
>GTX 750ti.
What was the last game this was able to play satisfactorily?

>>58486678
not 480 owner but 390 owner. seconding this.

>>58487324
runs most games just fine, even witcher on ultra gets decent frame rates, w/ hairworks off, ofc

>>58487425
GTA 5 and Watchdogs are the largest games that have had graphics issues.

So when will the rx 480 get a price drop?

>>58487382
one of the best selling points over 1060 is freesync, meaning demanding games will run smoothly even on ultra, provided you have a freesync monitor. either one is fine though for the next couple of years if you dont mind having to turn down settings on a few games

>>58487370
Really helpful video thanks.

>>58487473
i'm not saying that. i'm saying the games that have been released this year have been playing better on amd hardware hence the performance reduction between the 1060 and 480. next year will have a different story as did last year and the year before that. it's all about who has the most games sponsorship's.

I have a 480 and recommend it
switched from a 660GTX

>>58487719
Their performance is close enough in most titles for it to not really matter though. As I said in >>58487557, freesync is the 480's main selling point over the 1060

OP here. Going with the 480.

Will now proceed to piss off my nvidia friends.

>>58488153
from the sounds of it you had already made your decision before you even made the thread. enjoy being laughed at though.

>>58488190
why would he be laughed at? he chose a one of two nearly identical cards. if anyone laughs at him just cause it's amd instead of nvidia, they're morons.

Main difference:

>freesync vs whatever
>8GB VRAM vs 6

>>58488225
>pc gaming
>teenagers
>buying anything that isn't nvidia and not expecting to be bullied for it

480 and 1060 are fairly similar. I game at 4k and have a 1070, and I've never even come close to using over 4GB of VRAM, so 6GB vs 8GB of VRAM is kind of moot. I'd still go for the 480 though. Does somewhat better, but DESU both are solid. Go for whichever is on sale for the lowest amount.

>>58488272
technically, 19 is still a teenager so you aren't wrong, but you also assume I care about bullying.

People shill the fuck out of the 480 here, on leddit and in the comment sections of every hardware or gaming related site yet still nobody is buying them.
Really makes you think.

>>58487483
Thanks for the response. Based on that, I think it should be able to play Witcher 3 and Tomb Raider fairly well.

Yeah everyone here buys gaming GPUs to do professional work. Get the fuck out kid adults are talking.

The 480 is the better buy, here's why:

>considerably cheaper than the 1060
>8 gb vram vs 6
>while <10% worse than the 1060 at dx11 games, it's better at dx12 and vulkan (future games)
>temps are pretty great for an amd card if you get a non-reference card (which you are gonna do anyway).
>the much cheaper 4 gb version can run any game at ultra and 1080p almost perfectly, 45 fps at Witcher 3 on ultra is nothing to scoff at.

>>considerably cheaper than the 1060
Not in every other country in the world that isn't America. They're the same price.
>>8 gb vram vs 6
Meaningless at 1080p which the cards are aimed at
>>while <10% worse than the 1060 at dx11 games, it's better at dx12 and vulkan (future games)
It's better in literally exactly 4 (four) games.
>>temps are pretty great for an amd card if you get a non-reference card (which you are gonna do anyway).
Temps are okay but power consumption is significantly higher, you'll need to factor in a higher capacity PSU if building around it
>>the much cheaper 4 gb version can run any game at ultra and 1080p almost perfectly, 45 fps at Witcher 3 on ultra is nothing to scoff at.
45fps is not good by any definition

>>58486501
Both of those can use open CL since apple uses AMD

Look up 480 2016 benchmarks on YouTube. The 480 caught up in DX11 and has better scaling in DX12/Vulkan, plus freesync is usually $100 less then G-sync

>>58488619
why do people like you even reply to anyone.

nothing you said is right.

>>58488585
Adults do what they want with their leisure time and don't give a fuck. Only edgy teens think they're too "mature" for games now that they're all grown up and going to college.

The RX480 is better bang for your buck and will still be relevant later on.

>>58488658
Prove any of it wrong then, go on. Even one point.

>>58488678
>Temps are okay but power consumption is significantly higher, you'll need to factor in a higher capacity PSU if building around it

You did not consider that OP was changing GTX750Ti (300W) card, making your point more than irrelevant.

>>58488676
>bang for your buck
>things only amdrones say to justify shit performance

>>58488619
>Not in every other country in the world that isn't America. They're the same price.

In Europe the 1060 is about 40-50 euros more expensive

>Meaningless at 1080p which the cards are aimed at

I agree, therefore I recommend the superior 4 gb version

>Temps are okay but power consumption is significantly higher, you'll need to factor in a higher capacity PSU if building around it

30 TDP, wow

>45fps is not good by any definition

as opposed to the 1060 which is that much better?

>>58488703

euro here. the 1060 is equivalent to about 15 bucks cheaper here.

>>58488714
300W min whole system, didn't make that clear.

while both 1060 and 480 are 450W

>>58488534
>45fps at witcher 3 ultra. it easily gets 60 on my system lol

>>58488729

>It's better in literally exactly 4 (four) games.

This is what the 1060 will be a year from now

>>58488729
Equivalent cards about still neck on neck

>>58488764
the 750 ti consumes significantly less power than both to the point it doesn't need a power connector. stop spouting retarded shit.

>>58488777

> the new drivers for the RX make it equal to the 1060*, also the +2GB VRAM are helpful.**
*Only on windows 10
**Only at resolutions greater than 1080p which you should not be using this card for anyway.

>>58488773
RX 480 here, no you don't unless you cut shadows or grass or some shit.

>>58488800
My kids do plenty of diaper shitting already, no need for me to join in. Don't worry when you get into your 30s you'll stop caring what dumb teens think too.

>>58488814
nope. even the famous hardware canucks article only put it at about 6% faster in dx12. that's practically margin of error shit.

>>58488800
you replied with cartoons on purpose right?

>>58486501
Just pick the one thats less expensive, you will have a nice experience with both of them.
Also Photoshop and Premiere have OpenCL support on AMD cards.

>>58486501
RX 480 is much better for newer games, preforms better in pretty much all DX12 games.

>>58487719
it's not about sponsorship, RX 480 is doing better even in Nvidia titles

>>58488949
no, it's not. hardware unboxed did the comparison.

>>58488792
Yea, 300W min recommanded PSU, as in whole system, 75W for a card

while both RX480 and GTX1060 need 450W PSU

>>58487285
>8gb vram on a 1080p chip
literally nothing but marketing to idiots

>>58489158
Its for when you crossfire or run heavy game mods or do productivity work like 3D modeling

>>58486501
OpenCL is the counterpart for CUDA in AMD. The 480 will be slightly faster just from sheer thoroughput in both applications, but it isn't that big of a difference, even from pure CPU rendering. Both are nice cards and trade blows in most games with the exception of edge cases like Overwatch, GTA V (nV favored), and Titanfall 2, CoD IW, the Division (AMD favored). The 480 has a lot more OpenCL thoroughput if you're interested in HPC applications or mining, at the cost of a lot more power consumption on the norm (some 30% higher power consumption), and it's cheaper in the US. The 1060 on the other hand has higher overclocking headroom (at least without messing with modified firmware which is now not allowed by Relive drivers) and consumes less power, and can be found in smaller form factors. Both are nice cards and will be a good purchase if you can find a good deal on either, and I have both cards (one was a gift because I am a manchild xDDDD).

>>58489158
I routinely use over 6 GB for rendering, there are other uses for graphics cards beside gaming

>>58486501
>Should I switch to the RX480.

Yes. Specifically the Nitro+ OC.

>>58488961

If that's the same comparison I saw, the end result was about dead even, across all titles. The deciding factor is awfully hard to find at this point it seems.

>>58487370
looks like both get shit fps

OP save your money and get a 1070

>>58487324
>~2% performance boost on average.
2% per driver update is a lot, considering that we've had like five of them so far.

>>58486501

how big of a upgrade is the 480 gb from a 660 ti? I'll be switching to windows 10 for dx12 as well.

>>58486501
>>58486551
>>58486653
Or just go for the RX 480 8GB. Because its cheaper and faster anyways, regardless of how often you upgrade.

rx480 is the best gpu for money

go with 470 if its too much overpowered

>>58492664
Yes.

which is better for forza horizon 3?

>>58494069
You're probably fine with either, but I'd play it safe and say RX480 as it has more vram and Horizon gets all stuttery if you don't have enough.

>>58488834
To be fair, only idiots select presets. But it is misleading to simply say "ultra" as if tweaking the settings is the same thing.

>>58486501
when it comes to dx11 games, they both perform roughly the same, that's if "fine wine technology" does not pull some magic frames out of nowhere in the future. as of right now, I would go with the 480. I go with it mainly because of the higher vram in both rx 480 models as I fear more games will start eating up more than 4gbs of vram, especially on higher settings.

>>58486501
I went from a 750ti to a 1060 6gb. No complaints, has run everything I've played on it at 1080p 60fps on either high or ultra

>>58488729
europoor here, cheapest versions:
1060 3gb - 245USD
480 4gb - 247USD
1060 6gb - 300USD
480 8gb - 299USD
price with taxes ofc

Get whichever is cheaper. People will tell you the 480 is more future proof but if that ever makes any kind of a small difference you would likely be moving on to a new card by then anyway. Don't sweat a couple of frames either way

480 RX is literally worse 1060 gtx OP. Same performance, same price if you want anything that even comes close to Nvidia in terms of temperatures and noise and worse features.

>Asking absolutely gaming tech illiterate /g/ about gaymen hardware

Oh OP you silly arse. Majority of people in here don't even play games. AMD is better by default because of freetards.

They're about the same if your CPU is up to the task. Pro-tip: drive in cab view for notable increase in FPS. I run ultra with motion blur on low, and msaa set to 2x 1080p 60FPS+ until I change to chase camera. RX 480 GTR.

>>58486501
I have a 980ti in my main desktop and a RX480 8GB in my LAN desktop. Can't speak to the 1060, but I can say I've been very satisfied with my 480 so far. Probably should have bought the 4gb and saved myself 40 bucks, but whatever. To be quite honest, if I were you, I'd just do the research myself and make my own informed decision. This place is a cesspool of red and green circlejerking. Sure it's entertaining, but in any given graphics card thread, there are only like three posters with worthwhile advice.
